this is the most awesome minimal exploration game EVER!
Didn't work for me. Just a pop-up msg box saying five, a yellow screen and then nothing.
The game work fine. it works in firefox and chrome at least. Only the mouse is needed.
Same as @sparkleswirl. I use chrome.
Argh. Frustrating. The number 4 allured me for long.
All I could get was a yellow screen.
Because all the boxes are divs, I just opened up the web inspector and it highlighted them in the page for me. :)
Definitely have the "minimalism" theme down. Didn't work until I switch from IE to Chrome. Number 4 really eluded me as well, then I discovered it is super easy to cheat using the Chrome developer tools.... *embarrassed*
Just a popup box and a yellow screen without any explanation might give people the idea that your game isn't working. Other than that, the game is fine, and certainly minimalistic. Some sound would have helped a lot, you could even use sound as an indicator, like a metal detector.
Metalcan: Yes you are right, I thought that adding an instruction could leave mucho of the exploration left from the game. Thanks for your comment.
Heh. Clever idea. I just wish there was more to searching than trial-and-error.
definitely minimalist, but I am left wondering whether random clicking really constitutes a game, and I suppose that might very well be the point heh...
I don't know how it worked until I used Developer Tools to check the code. Definitely minimalism. Maybe you can make some puzzle larger at the beginning so the players know what's going on.
Clever.
If you make the window too small then it's impossible to find all the numbers.
Interesting concept! It got a little tedious just clicking everywhere to find that last bit I needed to find. I love their little subliminal messages though, it's like each one has their own personality. :) Great work!
$("div.boxDiv").trigger("mouseenter");
;)
interesting =]
Very simple, nice idea. A little more direction would have been nice.
Much easier if you scale the window down.
