InstaGame: Grok

[Soft, Gooey, Delicious.]

I AM MIGHTY!

I made an instagame over the past few days. It has about 9 rooms, no sound and no music. Find it here http://www.iprimus.com.au/ljn/grok.zip

comments appreciated.

[Squinky]

Yay! another insta-game! I'm downloading now...

[MillsJROSS]

Great game so far! Very clever puzzles.

However...I think I'm stuck, and I'd just like to know if its my fault or yours.

More comments upon completion of game.

Spoiler

I built the hot air balloon, with radio, and have used it on the hole. I tried mixing the rope with it, and that didn't do anything. I tried it on myself. I don't want the solution...I just want to know if there isn't some glitch. So please don't tell me the answer, just tell me if I can proceed.

Ok, It's not a glitch. A hint is below

Spoiler

Pay more attention to the room where the hole is.

Back with my thoughts in a jiffy

72 Second opinion:
Kick super-batman-ass!

A pixel point on the Inv objects or something would be nice but no biggie at all...

167 second opinon:
Heh whoops died..

Finished. Very nice! Tuff calll on if I like Mills or yours better...So I will just leave it at the both rock in there own way.

Go ahead and add the music just make it an optional download...games feel very dry with no music...

There were a couple minor bugs here and there. Only one that really made the game unplayable...

Spoiler

If you get the survival kit out of the ship twice and shot the water twice you end up at the top of the screen or some weird things happen

Otherwise Great job!

[MillsJROSS]

I finished it! Great game. It has plenty of  puzzles for a nine room game. I loved some of the inventory items you allowed the player to use, and how the character actually used them. Great job...all you need is music.

Thanks guys.

I'm thinking of putting in some music, but it'd be in mp3 or ogg and people might not want to download it all.  

[Squinky]

My stupid computer freezes when I try to play it...But I'll keep plugging away till I get it going...

I couldn't get the game to do this.  

Spoiler

The Water should disappear after you shoot it and not come back

[Sylpher]

Might have been a one time weird thing...I will try to replicate it and see if it happens again.

tricky game so far fangyrabbit,

it took me a while to get going and now I'm very stuck

Spoiler

I'm under ground, I have the cup of sunshine, a platic cape, the broken rope, the transmitter, a piece of sun and the vaporiser, I've looked, touched and clicked with every inventory everywhere on all the screens,

Is there an item i missed somewhere, can you go across the water or climb down the shaft somehow, I can't think of anything logical or not left to do, I'm sure I'll kick myself when I find out, I just need a hint in the right direction. I'll keeptrying.

Just one bug, (It only happened once, but I can't remeber the order of things I did or where i was standing) but one time when I clicked the vaporiser on the lake near the start, the character ended up on a non walkable area, The top right hand corner of the screen

Yes, you're stuck. Time to start again. Look below for what you missed.

Spoiler

You've missed an item right at the start. You can grab a handful of air in the first screen. Someone else reported that bug, but I can't seem to reproduce it.

[Soft, Gooey, Delicious.]

Which of you punks voted the game down on the games page? I'll kill you all.

[Timosity]

You trickster,

I finished it, I can't believe I missed that click, quite a hard game for a short one.

Spoiler

I didn't get the Pat Rafter joke with the dunes?

[close]

[Soft, Gooey, Delicious.]

The dune thing.

Spoiler

Pat Rafter did some commercials for Coastcare, which is an organisation that replants vegetation on sand dunes to prevent erosion and basically looks after beaches. I needed something to say about the dunes and I used that as a tribute to the worst celebrity appearance I had ever seen in an ad. This has since been eclipsed by an as featuring tatiana grigorieva and her husband. If you don't watch australian tv you probably wouldn't get it.

I am Australian, It rings a bell, I wasn't thinking of beach sand dunes as it was desert. I haven't seen the tatiana grigorieva one yet
