Hey! well look at that! I can hide text - cool - sorry I'm a bit of a computer novice.

Spoiler

As I said - a couple of things. I think it's already been mentioned - but the dog turns in to the blue cup when he goes after the cat - and also where ever the dog is, he has several white pixels on his sprite. Is that island the exact same background as Mi2? I thought it would be some gag like - 'Hey - how did I get here with herman toothrot' or something - it looks exactly the same - I would have prefered a different island background

But stil - AMAZING GAME!!!! I really love this and it is very reminicent of simon and Mi.
WELL DONE! I really enjoyed this game!

Johnny Old: Well instead of having two posts, you can click preview instead of post. Just so you know for next time...
Also, in version 1.3 Kinoko said that she fixed that dog sprite thing. And I think its a different island. When I saw it I immediately thought of MI, but I think that Kiniko said that she was influenced by the MI games. I didnt mind.

And yes this game is very cool.

Kinoko · Mon 10/05/2004 05:23:45

Glad you liked the game! ^_^ It is a different background, too.

Once again I have to say ^_^;;; ...

Which version do you have? Check the readme file. v 1.3 is the latest and I don't -think- is has the island problem. It's hard for me to tell because these bugs just pop up and don't make a lot of sense to me most of the time. Also, most of the time they only seem to happen to one or two people and I can't make them happen myself.

Ah, sorry for not metnioning that, my version is indeed 1.1 :

You can't get that doll. The doll is elsewhere.

thanks for the tip, i was trying to do everything with it and it doesnt work. But i still feel i need some more objective advice...Ã,Â

EDIT: Alright, already found out and finished it!

Mr_Frisby · Mon 17/05/2004 12:06:09

Wow - Just finnished it and I must say that this is probably the best independent game I have played in years. It's already in my top 5 AGS.

Also I have to say - I had a little look at your online comic - the artwork is superb. Being a cartoonist also (a crap one) I can safely say you have heap much talent . . rock on Kinoko.

P.s you know it's a good game when you begin quoting it before youv'e finished it - Your a spooky kid kinoko and I have to leave (or something like that.)

Magicscroll · Tue 18/05/2004 12:34:27

A great game! I had lots of fun with it.

I would love to support such a fine cartoonist like Kinoko, financially.
But payment and shipping is quite difficult and expensive. I hope my
ship comes in some time in the near future.

Anyway, thank you Kinoko for the great game.

Kinoko · Tue 18/05/2004 14:40:39

Ooooh, I'm getting compliments on my comic from a game forum! ^_^ Thanks guys. After such a pitiful sale at the Sydney convention I just went to, it's nice to hear things like that.

Primus · Tue 18/05/2004 18:12:46

Yay, Kinoko!

Please sorry for posting sooo late, but hope not too much: I also loved playing your game!

Hope you launch new gret games soon!!!

HillBilly · Wed 19/05/2004 12:22:11

I loved that game. Except that the end was kind of quick.

We have conducted an interview with the talented Rebecca Clements (Kinoko) which you can read in the latest issue of The Inventory (PDF magazine for adventure games). You can download the latest issue as well as older ones for free here:

Kinoko · Thu 27/05/2004 12:39:15

Version 1.4 is now available for download. Not that I expect you all to run out and update it, there was only one small tiny change. There was one little bit of code in the MI2 template that was causing the occasional bug. If you've had a problem with this inventory-based bug, then I can tell you with no certainly at all that it is most definitely probably fixed to my knowledge.

buddha · Thu 27/05/2004 22:14:15

Congratz and thank you for making such a great game!

I'm eagerly awaiting your next game!

Ciao

Blackthorne · Fri 28/05/2004 00:23:17

Your game is horrible, awful, terrible, looks like hell, is not fun to play, I want my money back (on a free download), you owe me 3 hours of my life back, you lazy, sexy fraud. I'm mad as hell. I can't believe this game gets such praise. It sucks! It's horrible! The Elephant Poo in the intro was more interesting than the whole game! Alexander looks like a twad! The jokes are lame!

Oh, thanks for the shout out in the inventory, you're a doll.

Bt

(Now, for the ruin of sarcasm, YES, I was entirely joking for those of you who fail to read satire well. This game is so excellent, it blew my colon out my nose, and now my friends call me poop-schnozz. How's that?)

Mblackwell · Fri 28/05/2004 01:04:34

I just had to say, that yours is one of the best adventure games I have played. It was extremely funny and every moment was enjoyable (instead of the occasional points that occur where you are either bored or frustrated). I did encounter the item bug but I haven't checked the new version to see if it would fix it. It didn't effect me being able to eventually complete the game though. You seem to have loads of talent and let's hope we see another soon!

Pesty · Wed 02/06/2004 01:48:47

This game ruled hard. Not only did it look great, it was really very funny. I liked the personalities and the dialogue quite a lot. I am seriously very impressed. I can't wait for more games from you!

Before I forget, though, there was one thing I noticed:

Spoiler

When you use the dog on the cat, it turns into a blue cup for a few frames. I don't know if someone else mentioned it because I'm lazy and I didn't check. But if they didn't, I did so ha ha in your faces.

auhsor · Wed 02/06/2004 14:37:12

Pesty: That problem with the blue cup shouldve been fixed in version 1.3. You probably had an earlier version.

Oh and yes, the game was good. I can't wait for more of her games too.

OzzieOy · Wed 16/06/2004 18:44:44

Just finished this game and here are my thoughts:

The graphics were above an average AGS game but could've used some work here and there. I don't mean to be picky, it's just that some screens looked much better than others. Also, I would've preferred that the "rooms" weren't so close to each other in a straight line. It's like the whole thing was one huge long scrolling room. Unless it was meant to be that way?

For the most part the humour was fairly funny (with some exceptions), even considering that Zale is an ass.

But I thought the "Zuropean" part with the immigrant comedian on stage was, unfortunately, lame and stupid with the "I am sorry, I not from this country" line, considering that there were some spelling mistakes in the game. I have friends from Europe that don't speak that great of English yet but they're fun and funny people to hang with.

I don't know if Rebecca is bitter against Europe in some regard but I thought that part was uncool...

Other parts were pretty fun though and I wish Rebecca luck in making "Cirque 2" an enjoyable game to play. Thanks.
