Sorry, I don´t get the altar-thing!

Spoiler

I read the bible and know I have to light candles in specific order. But since the combination doesn´t fit the chronological order in the bible and due to my impatience in finding the correct story order I gave up trying.

[close]

Pleeeeeeeeeease help. :-)

[markbilly]

Spoiler

What are the candles made of? Fire? Do any of the references mention fire? Are the references listed in a particular order? Match the order with the order of candles that are on and off. I hope this helps without just outright telling you!

Someone should set up a Hints and Tips thread...

Sorry, someone already has...

[jam1911]

Sorry, mixed up topics. But thanks anyway. That help should do. ;-)

"A fun game, but what's with all the walkcycle hype? 

People drawing me to games under false pretenses is unacceptable!"



They are my fave walk cycles of any AGS game to date!

What is not to love about comedy animations?

[LeChuck]

I really like what I'm seeing so far. The unprecise use of lines and colouring give a cool look to them, a look that would've been wrecked if done the wrong way.

Quick question: what font are you using? I know I've seen it somewhere... A Lucasarts game?

It's the Day of the Tentacle font, nice spot

[ThreeOhFour]

I recognized the DOTT font straight off! It was a nice little homage, I found.

I finished this yesterday and loved every minute of it. This is definitely one of my favourite AGS games to date. I'll be mentioning this to some friends!

[thezombiecow]

I did have a couple of gripes with the characters coming up with pointless reasons for not doing something rather than just bloody doing it though.

Hmm. Have you maybe missed the point that this game's a parody of adventure games?

Adventure game avatars are constantly coming up with fairly arbitrary, pointless and unfair reasons for not doing things, in order to maintain the game's structure. That's what we're making fun of, generally...

[Ghost]

Well, well, well- what have we here?

A frikkin' good game, actually. From the (totally hilarious) intro to the little references and jokes littered throughout the plot, this really is pretty high up on my "laughs-per-minute" list!

What I liked best was, though, not any part of the game itself, but the whole package: Clean, nice homepage, easy, fast d'load, installer, and then off into a romp of cliche and (sometimes hit-and-miss, but usually worthwhile) adventure game references.

Great job indeed; you can't help but loving this.

But you know that now thousands of hopeful newcomers will storm the forums? 

[thezombiecow]

Thanks for the kind words!

We're fine with newcomers... the more the merrier!

Don't forget to vote us up on the gamepage to counter the frankly wrong 3 cups rating, so we're no longer languishing below a deserved 90% rating...!

[robvalue]

Really liked this game, thanks! One of the funniest games I've played, and with the most varied dialogue, especially for random interactions between inventory and objects! I liked almost all the puzzles.

[Matti]

Just played for a few minutes but I really like the style, the music, the sounds... and the DOTT-Font. Just one little thing (in the very first room): If you walk to the very bottom the character is drawn in front of the plants.

Well, that's it for now. I'll continue playing tomorrow.

[thezombiecow]

Ooh, thanks for spotting that matti. I'll look into it asap and re-upload a new version.

Best,

D

Heh heh, I'm loving this game. Lots of cheeky humour.

Technically,

"smote" is the past tense of "smite" - the past participle is "smitten",

but hey -

Spoiler

maybe the priest just got it wrong

and it doesn't stop it being a good gag.

[thezombiecow]

Don't worry, we know

[Ali]

I had a few reservations about this game before I played it. I was worried that 'hilarious' would translate as toilet humour, internet in-jokes and swearing...

To be honest, there was a bit of that, but it was also genuinely funny, and very enjoyable. The character art was really loveable as well and the writing was like a british Sam & Max. In fact the writing was so engaging that it made the puzzles harder, because even irrelevant interactions provoked interesting responses. Let's see a sequel!

[Gilbert]

Hehe sequel? I have a suggestion.

Spoiler

In the sequel you play as someone else who eventually overrules the two dictators and makes them back into their original *ahem* useless selves, so they'll return as the main characters in the third game.

[close]

[thezombiecow]

We know what we'd like to do with a sequel, and we've had some great ideas and have a title and everything.

Sadly, it's just not going to happen on a budget of zero. Zombie Cow Studios really needs to focus all its efforts on projects that'll bring in some serious cash...

[Stupot]

I finally completed this game.  I really enjoyed it.  Some genuine laugh-out-loud moments.

One small gripe I did have was the fact that you have to keep cycling through to the hand cursor every time you need to walk through an open door (or even an archway). It's fine if the door is closed and you need to use the door to open it, but once it's open you should be able to just walk through it.  I just felt I was clicking more times than I needed to be.

[Anteater]

Great game. I liked all of the subtle references to pop icons, as well as the great humor. Looking forward to a sequel.
