Nice little story. I liked the Ludum Dare reference when you look at yourself!

Got through most of it ok but I had to look at the answers for one part - I was trying to put the shoehorn back using phrases like "put shoehorn in switch" and "put shoehorn back" but no joy. I wonder if it would give too much away to have highlighted key workds?

Outside briefly getting stuck that was a good few minutes!

Thanks for playing, @mickm! I got a comment from someone else (who isn't doing LD, so not here) who had trouble with the same section. I don't think that part needed highlighted words, it just needed many more possible ways to express the solution, at least the first one of those commands should really have worked... This is the bit I think I'm worst at, adding enough synonyms.

Thanks for playing, @slimmerburger!

:-) i got everything except getting that shoehorn back on the panel. Not sure why it wasn't working, i was trying to put it on the switch, the button, but i didn't think of putting it on the console. :-) great!

Thans for playing, @commanderstitch! That's clearly my fault, everyone who played it so far had the same issue. Maybe one day I won't make this sort of mistake...

I thought I was stuck for a minute, but I hade it back! With a brand new HyperSpace Treadmill (TM) too! Neat little game, loved the puzzles as usual! :)

This keeps to amaze me: how such a simple idea can create such an enjoyable experience? I love your text games, they have this unique vibe and nice humor.

Not sure why I made this, but here's a playthrough if you're interested. I had to put some music on and, to be honest, it doesn't fit the mood at all. X_X https://youtu.be/A4F1BFwtrKk

Thanks for playing, @yngvarr! Also thanks for the playthrough. I haven't watched it yet, but for this sort of game actually seeing what people try and where they get stuck is *very* useful! Definitely on my list for this evening :)
