Bug: the font isn't fixed-width in Opera.

biped 2012-12-17 18:38

Fixed it :o)

Gosh that took a while until that scrolling text disappeared.Gaaah.. even more text. When does the game begin?
Does this ever end? Gnaaah. Oh finally a game.
Now what do I do? Where is my character? Let's walk around. Oh there, bottom right. Okay, let's go... why is this looking weird? Oh something about fixed width bug.. maybe that's it. I walk up up up, oh that jumped right? Mh weird, okay lets go left.. left oh a diamond? Left up... "Your dead"...
My dead? What? Erm what now? ... no way... i think this means I am dead.
Can I restar? No? Really... again the text? You have got to be kidding me....

Sorry bro, would have liked to give this game a try, but on my chrome on mac it didn't seem to work properly. But the intro was a huge getdown.
Though the whole aspect looks promising. It looks clear and well thought out. Maybe you could fix it somehow and make the intro skippable?

Congratulations on finishing something though. Apparently there are no community points anymore, would have given you extra on that for your awesome food shots =)

Make the first bit unfixable, spent 2 minutes just reading a wall of text and got bored....

No way to skip the intro text... I think I died and restarted... I like the look of it though. Poor Nibbles.

Cool Game! Even though I failed on the first level... I had a lot of fun playing it, even though it seems to be so basic. Seriously though, nice usage of javascript! The story bit at the start helped to set the scene for the game (would have liked to be able to skip to the full text as it scrolls fairly slowly but that's a small thing, rekindled some of my passion for the more retro games out there. Thank you very much!

Great style, mood and context, but do I really have to read everything all over again every time I die? Or am I missing something?

gamexcore 2012-12-18 18:38

I died and then didn't appear to respawn :s

curtisofthedark 2012-12-18 18:47

not bad. Concept is great, but non-skippable intro and early death followed by having to go through the non-skippable intro is a killer. Great promise though!

The minimalist art makes it very atmospheric, really nicely executed I enjoyed it :)

I like the graphics. Quite a long intro, though.

hexot 2012-12-18 21:04

I think ~ kill you and you dont respawn.
Control is a bit hard click a lot some keys.

I still liked it :D

fhoenig 2012-12-18 21:04

Well done for the retro!

Holy wall of text, Batman. I know you tried to set the mood and all, but after a restart or two, the only mood is annoyance. There's also a bug with respawning not working occasionally, despite having lives left.

biped 2012-12-18 22:50

Thanks for the comments. Have fixed some of the problems.

pythong 2012-12-19 17:23

aahhh too much text at the beginning...no skip? ahhh finally, i can do sth...MORE TEXT!??? tl;dr :(

infernet89 2012-12-19 20:22

Totally need checkpointing for respawn.. But i really liked the retro-style!

amoaeba-junior 2012-12-19 20:23

hehe i thought it was a text adventure but it turned out into an ASCII adventure :P

cwilloughby 2012-12-22 22:29

Cool concept. Controls were interesting, wasn't sure what to do at first.

gagapete 2012-12-23 11:53

This game makes fun but sadly the AI is going to be removed. I lost ;(

mesene 2012-12-23 16:24

I died so I checked the code, Im sure I'll learn a lot of it, nice job!

pereubu 2012-12-23 16:38

Awwww this game is horribly hard and really addictive, there's a great ambiance too thanks to the colors i suppose (+ i was listenning to some repetitive electro so it got even cooler ). Great and original job D:

diningphilosopher 2012-12-23 16:55

Nice retro style. Sometimes it was unclear what I had to do, but I figured it out eventually, and then it was quite fun. I didn't like that I had to wait so long till a level was filled with #'s once you finished it.

stmatn 2013-01-07 01:19

The style is really cool and fits perfectly with the story. Skipable intro would have been nice. Good work!
