Amazing I loved the idea all over, No sound but definitely is something diffrent from the rest.

Great! Gotta love gamebooks! Moody and Humorous at the same time.

A million ponies I say! A million ponies! Great entry and unique. Think I will share this with my sis.

Awesome drawings. (I especially liked the the genie, when he "hovers patiently before you". Great work.)

One of the most amazing multiple-endings story games I have ever played. Most games like this one SAY there is no good ending or bad ending, but when you either have a million dollars or fell down a hole, the "real" ending is pretty clearcut. And then there's this game.

All of the endings are good, all of them interesting, all of them hilarious... truly an amazing game.

Well done sir.

Fun adventure, would have like to have had more of an immersive experience with audio and more visuals.

I love this idea. The one wish. Why didn't i think of this xp. anyway awesome game!

srimech5 2013-12-16 23:46

Excellent artwork, and it was a joy to play.

Loved it. Loved the artwork. Loved how quirky and magical it was. Loved how I earned the djinn's respect by wishing for a mustache.

emmelineprufrock 2013-12-17 01:32

Love it. You managed to really utilize Twine as a tool, and create a fantastic game out of it.

At least I scream :)

miwuc 2013-12-17 21:08

Brilliant! I just love the writing style.
Go mums!

My game is also about wishes but it puts you on the other side of the equation. Maybe check it out? :)

(PS: I found a typo. "Too cool four school")

calciumtrice 2013-12-17 23:09

That one was actually intentional, as in "too cool 4 school", only written out fully. I think I actually messed up spelling "regretably" in there somewhere though!

I'll probably try to judge some more games tomorrow so I'll take a look at yours then. Thanks. :)

miwuc 2013-12-18 07:11

Ok, I wondered after posting this if it was intentional. Don't you hate it when people tell you that you made a mistake that was intentional?!
Anyway, congrats again.

Fun to see others IF people who use images in Twine!

Maybe a bit short.. Could've been fun with a few more passages.
But overall I like it and especially the gender take..

calciumtrice 2013-12-18 16:48

I was aware as I was writing that I would need to draw a picture for each page and I had a time limit. More paths and particularly more variable setting and checking would have been cool, I agree, and probably have gone in if weren't for that.

Even with about a third of the pictures being very quick, last minute affairs, 34 pictures is a lot to draw in one day and I was working all the way up to the deadline. My drawing arm was very sore by the end!

ryusui 2013-12-18 17:19

Good stuff. I gotta admit, that's one of the cleverest "ultimate wishes" I've seen in this kind of story. Something subtle but still pretty freakin' awesome.

ismei 2013-12-18 17:25

Hey, I really enjoyed this. I agree, all the endings are equally fun and I like your writing styles. The art was great too, even before taking into account the time limit.

jomomomo 2013-12-18 22:03

Nice!

stals 2013-12-19 10:24

That was hilarious. Really enjoyed this one.

veiadoida 2013-12-19 18:53

haha, very funny. a lot of replay value in here, but i wish (got it?) to have 1 more wish.. you know.. that alladin stuff..

iansnyder 2013-12-20 00:45

Friggin' awesome, I read all of the pages I think? I loved it :P Things like this always make me think "I NEED TO MAKE SOMETHING IN TWINE" but then I never do :'(

crowbeak 2013-12-20 13:49

Congrats on your first LD, bravo for having a lady protagonist. I like the art. Don't see much of that in Twines.

neekobus 2013-12-21 10:15

Fun ! I've managed to see all the paths.
And I love the happy endind (spoiler) : You are elevated to the status of cultural monarch and rule with a cool but even hand.

madflame991 2013-12-21 11:53

Great story, wonderful drawings and nicely developed characters . I enjoyed reading through every possible option, the moustache one being my favourite.

arkrothe 2013-12-22 18:02

Fun stuff here!

laaph 2013-12-23 00:33

Ever so lovely!

kibertoad 2013-12-23 14:53

ultimate hipster game. too cool.

mystakin 2013-12-23 16:14

Incredible writing. The only word I can use to describe this entry is joy. I smiled the whole time I played it. The justification for why the genie may only grant one wish is darn clever!

stigmawall 2013-12-23 19:36

So many Twine games, and this one is very funny, I like it! Good job!

brighterorange 2013-12-26 00:24

I enjoyed this one. The the casual writing style was funny and on the mark. Played through for a couple of different endings. :)

snoringfrog 2013-12-28 05:39

Very nicely done, I loved some of the endings--definitely got quite a few laughs from me. I think the coolness one might be my favorite. Or ponies, I'm not sure. Either way, great game/IF.

withoutpillow 2013-12-30 21:41

Amazing humour and drawings! Great use of twine!
