Jeremy's Mission: The Cave (12 Room Demo Available)

Insta-Game - Jeremy's Mission: The Cave

The game is about a little grey guy named Jeremy, who is summoned by an unknown person to find a cave and complete a mission within the cave.

This is my first game I have ever made, and my first experience at scripting. I'm attempting to script every possible situation with this game, and along the way make a somewhat entertaining game for others to enjoy.

The demo:
The demo has 12 rooms (10 playable, 1 hidden) and you can "beat" the demo. In other words, it's not just a tech demo.

Click here to download the demo! (Music - 5.6MB) Thanks to Sylpher for hosting it!

Click here to download the demo. (No music - 650KB) Just click the link to go to the page (sorry about the adds), and then click the link on that page to get the file. Only get this if you have a dial-up connection.

To play, right-click to cycle through the actions and left click to interact. There's no GUIs yet, which means you can't save. It's a very short demo though, and you could probably beat it in about 5 minutes.

Contest:
The first 5 people to find the secret room and PM me the details of it will get to beta test my next game, currently titled E-Race (which actually has a nice storyline, etc.).

Known bugs:
-After talking to the only character in the demo, the cursor will become invisible. To fix this, just right-click.

Great start to a game. Very Funny and Comical, Am about to try the Musical version.

Well, I won't be completing this until after the team competition. For now, please enjoy the demo.

I'm not sure why nobody is downloading it. Are the Insta-Game graphics not appealing?

I'm glad one person liked it though...

I liked it too!
I was just waiting until I found the secret room to post. Now I have, kinda. Will PM you with details.

Nice start, as Mephistophilis said. Bit too linear at the moment, but then it IS only the first 10 rooms. Also, it seemed like the speech was in the wrong place in the intro - I had the impression Jeremy was meant to be in the ship, but he was talking somewhere off to the side.

I Thought Jeremy was on the Ship and being Talked to by people on a planet hence the Sattelite Joke, or Are they in the Ship and Jeremy in Space? Ah My mind Boggles!

Well, I'm downloading the demo now, but I just wanted to comment. Good job on using Yahoo!'s "free 100 MB" against them. That's 100 MBs of free hosting right there. You could start something...

Ok, I played the demo. Got to the end. Found the grey and white room that Jeremy doesn't walk into that you can't do anything with. Was that the "secret room"

Well, I seriously hope that once the game is made it won't be this linear. I realize that it was just a demo, but there was really no choice on where to go, was there...

I'm planning on making the ending more non-linear, having Jeremy wondering around a multiple room forest looking for something and solving puzzles by going back and forth between the same rooms (so you don't just walk in a straight line).
