Thanks for the comment :) Yours is cool too :)
I like this game. I'm so happy it works on my OS. Most of the games don't. :-(
I know what you mean, Branch, I've hit the same problem with a lot of the games. Go check out PurpleMoustache's entry "Solitary" - I know that works and it's fantastic!
waited for some text based games, well done!
What format is your source code in? I can't read it. This game is so hard I can't even cheat :)
Very clever.
What is the puzzle? I'm not sure what to do. I flicked some paper balls into the basket.
I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do so I just flicked around :)
Dietrich Epp, Morgawr: The "Puzzle" is literally just flicking balls of paper into the bin and trying to build up combos.
tompudding: The source code is in QuickBASIC/QBasic format. You can load it up in either (and QBasic is free so you don't even need to find a pirate copy of QuickBASIC :P ). If you have a full copy of MS-DOS 5, 6.0,6.1,6.2,6.21 or 6.22, you should have QBasic already installed. If not, just Google it...
YES! I (the coder) wanted to make a text based games but we are a team of two participating in the jam and I was outvoted. I am glad you fulfilled my dream.
not compatible with my Win 7
Tainted_Code: As stated in the description, users of 64 bit versions of Windows will have to run it using DosBox. Most 32 bit Windows 7 users should be fine but some have problems; those people should use DosBox.
Hehe, nice to see a QBASIC game! That was the very first programming language I learned. :D Took some time to figure out what commands I'm supposed to issue. :)
Wow
good
it reminds me the era games on Commodore 64 in 80's and Amiga 500 in 90'... good text and great adventures in minimalism theme about this fact ...
You certainly nailed minimalism!
Hooray, I hit the bin! :) So, what rating should this get on graphics?
Haha, great idea! It's very strange to find a text adventure without any exploration, yet here is one! I don't think this was particularly fun, but I kept playing (and losing) for a while. Good job.
My high score is 2. If I work at such office I will quit after 2 point. But the game has so much fun. And I love that it is written for DOS. Remember old good times.
I looked at the source and was like "huh?" Then I remembered QuickBasic, which is the predecessor of Visual Basic, didn't use line numbers :)
This totally brought me back to the mid-80's, playing those text adventures from Infocom. Very nice! A+
I really liked this game.
