MS-DOS PORT PLEASE? I really would like to play this on my ms-dos 6.40.

slimfr01 2013-04-29 08:03

Sorry, MS-DOS is a new technology that I have not yet mastered. Maybe in the future, when more people using it. Sorry for you, being a pioneer is never easy.

A lot of grammar errors, something that isn't really excusable on a text game... I was a bit annoyed that I couldn't backspace my way on the text, which piled up all over the place because of my typing retardation.
A very good idea and concept which became annoying fast (unfortunately).

64mega 2013-04-29 09:57

Not bad. I a little clunky, and the lack of being able to use Backspace was an annoyance.

Wish this had backspace input working, my dyslexia/crap spelling made it hard not to fatfinger commands. I picked everything up and LOOK'ed every room, am I missing something?

slimfr01 2013-04-29 10:27

@Morgawr :
Sorry, I'm French and my English grammar is catastrophic. I'll try to fix it this week.

@others :
For the backspace, I am aware of the problem but I haven't managed to find a solution before the deadline. Alternatively you can use "delete".

I liked the inventory and items side bars. I wish there were common text adventure features (typing N instead of GO NORTH) and also the ability to backspace. The game would be immensely improved if the whole game wasn't in caps lock. Good idea though.

I tried to take the heart potato, but then I got booted all the way back to the start for some reason - nuts!

Loved Nabilla reference :D

Really needs more things to do.

Nice job, it took me back to a simpler time and place. Would be nice to type things such as "W" instead of "GO WEST". Contained appropriate levels of potato.

I like the colors very much! Very relaxing for old school programmers... ;)

Nice game! I enjoy text adventures from time to time. The interaction is a little unconventional. Things like USE DOOR should work, LOOK should also always list where you can go, this was missing in some locations. I tried 'eat potato', didn't work :(

The layout and the visual aspect are great.
I didn't find a main goal in my quest, and I tried a lot of actions (I wasn't able to cook a potato with the mower).

slimfr01 2013-04-30 10:30

@Colapsydo :
Cooking a potato with the mower ?
Good job if you perform this exploit.

( in french mower = tondeuse )

And sorry i didn't had time to add some goals so ... you can consider this game like a comtemplatif game in text mode :P

Console game, didn't see one since a looong time ! How can we do more minimalist than that ? Improvement on text input (history, delete and maybe auto-completion) and a panel go different available direction would be great

nsun 2013-05-01 11:08

Same surprise as GertJohnny : Use heart-potato in the kitchen : something happens too fast for reading : back to the beginning.
This game seems minimalist, but I know it mean lot of work : write and describe everything.. Finaly maybe very time consuming project ?
Nice compo, well executed :)
YOU WELL COME WITH YOU GRAMMAR GUY ! X) (Why we dont use esperanto on next LD ?)

slimfr01 2013-05-01 11:31

Strange for the heart-potato ... I am unable to reproduce the bug.

Thank's for your feedback.

jod 2013-05-01 13:37

Cool interface. Didn't quite manage to go up the stairs, though.

michail 2013-05-01 14:25

Whenever I pressed 'tab' in Firefox it resets for some reason.
(Yeah, I couldn't resist using tab for autocompletion :p). Anyway, the concept is fine, but it could be more user friendly.

crazygage 2013-05-03 06:14

interesting game. I am a big fan of text adventure. I had trouble doing much though as text parser needed more synonyms.

nate427 2013-05-03 18:59

Pretty fun and original! What can I do with the heart-potato?

mrexcessive 2013-05-06 17:18

Seems competent text adventure... picked up some things including heart-potato, nothing seemed to stick out as a puzzle... maybe I didn't look enough. I would give the detailed "look" description for rooms on entry, only use simple description on reentry... seemed had to type look in every room...

ahm99 2013-05-14 03:17

Pretty small world :) I actually had a lot of fun typing certain things.
Fun things to try:
USE INVISIBLE_OBJECT or USE CHUCK_NORRIS
type: IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT UNKNOWN COMMAND
I also used google translate on the french text on the magazine :)

Pretty cool game, good job :)
