HIT THE FREAK

[greententacle]

Here it is my first game: Hit the Freak, a short game that will take about 20 minutes to complete (with a little luck).Ã, 

I hope you'll like it because it was very hard to get it ready. Anyway, please tell me what you think about it.
It has spanish and english (not very good, I'm afraid) translation.

ENJOY IT!

Hi Tentacle.

I really like the graphics and the sound of your game, but I haven't found out yet how to make a savegame.

Seems pretty good so far... the translation is a little rough in places, but still understandable (I could probably Anglicise the translation if you want). Seems like a nice effort.

edit: a light bulb lit in my head

[greententacle]

Hi! Thanks for the feedback.
If anybody wants to help me with the translation of the game please send me an e-mail or put me in your messengerÃ,  Ã, dr_jones10@hotmail.com. It would be great and the helper would be included in the credits, ou yeah!

I would like to know how much time have you spent finishing the game. Do you think it's an easy or a difficult one, considering it's a short game.

PD: Don't forget votting the game in the 2004 awardsÃ,

Hello, pretty nice game.  Why did you call it "Hit The Freak?"  It took me a bit over 1/2 hour to finish.  A few tough pixel hunts held me up.  I found no bugs.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

I haven't found out a way to save the game either. Please?

[greententacle]

There is not a save option because I thought the game was short enought to finish it in 20 minutes. And there's not a lot of things to do, so you can redo it  any time you start again the game.
I'll consider it in the expansion 
Thanks for your comments

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Oh. Ok, then. But please do more than consider it if you expand, because I, for one, will now delete the game from my hard drive. I don't mean to be rude, or anything, but I hate not being able to save my games, even if the game be 10 minute-long. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I'm stuck...

Spoiler

I've got laxative, cell phone, and frozen candy.  I have no clue what to do next!

[Wysefool]

I'm stuck at the same spot as Potch 

[mags_don]

Ditto here...dont know where to go from here..have tried everything...i think?

[lakerz]

You are missing an item.  Try searching in the room with the iguana.  In fact, searching in the iguana's general area might be a good idea!

[mags_don]

thanks a million...went over that are a many times and didnt see it! GREAT game!!

[miryoku_81]

Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to figure this out on my own....

Spoiler

I think I need to freeze the chocolate coins in the freezer so I can give them to the pizza guy but I can't fit them in there because the ice block is in the way.  I can't activate the crusher to chop up the salt gnome.

[close]

Thanks!  Good game so far although it's unfortunate that I can't save it.

[greententacle]

Ok, I'll give you a clue...

Spoiler

There is a way to activate the crusher. Consider that the electric circuit has a bad connection...

[close]

And if this clue is not enough

Spoiler

Have you seen the switch in the bathroom?

[close]

Sorry for the no existing save option. I'm seeing it's a big mistake I' won't make again.

Let me ask you a question: What would you take off the game or what would you rectify?

Thank!

[Potch]

Only thing I would change is.... no pixel hunts!  I hate, hate, hate pixel hunts! 

[Khris]

Just finished it.

Nice puzzles, but no pixel hunts next time, please.
It was fun, looking forward to your next one!

[greententacle]

Ok, ok, I know pixel hunts are not very funny, never inteligent, and can make you hate the game.
But
they could be an ingredient to the game, making it more difficult (in another level of course) and offering other ways to the monotonous adventure games. There are many examples...
I remember Indiana Jones and the Las Crusader , when you are nearly at the end and you have to pass the "only the penitent will pass", you know where I mean? You have to clic in a determinated pixel to pass victorious.
And Broken Sword II: when a cat breaks into little pieces a feather and you have to find the pieces in the floor (it took me weeks to find them).
I don't know... do you think pixel hunts are a necessary part of adventure games? What do you think?

[Reptile]

Hey man, first off, great graphics, I love that home made feel, I also love the animations. I dont really like going on pixel hunts its usually a pain and frustrating, overall I really enjoyed this game and hope you make a nother.
