Title: The Jackyard
Post by: on Tue 03/06/2008 13:16:21
Does anyone know what to do???
(Except walking around?)

Spoiler
I already tried sleeping, reading the book, activating catapult. Reached moon room and dead end (?) and water

I'm in the same boat...

Spoiler
Found the hidden music track room. launched the catapult. I can't cross the water either. Not sure what to do on the long fall (I think the dream says keep moving, but I can't seem to go left or right or jump before the landing gives way). Stummel: means stump or stub in english. Kommienezuepadt: never come to late

Not sure what to make of this???

lol. now it makes sense. I missed the non-adventure part.  ;D

Well I think you achieved your goal. I was totally immersed in the environment he music, and the words/poetry. It was a very unique experience, and even after reading the spoilers I will still play again.

I would really hope you expand upon this, and perhaps create a longer length title. I loved the world you created, it was transcendant/hypnotic like. Simple yet complex at the same time. Hard to explain.

I concur with that - a very interesting game.... of a very specific kind which i miss alot and of which i wish there'd be more. There aren't many games where i get this feeling of immersion and free exploration..... off the hat, i could only name Galatea, Aquaria, some really strange flash adventure of which i forgot the name,  and... The Jackyard. I'm sure there are more... but i'm also sure that they're few.

As already mentioned, the only thing i "dislike" about the game, is its size - i'd love to explore more.

Two thumbs up :-) Thank you.

simply an awesome game. thank you. keep working, please. :-)
(the spoilers could be included in the zip file, though - without reading this thread, the game would be a bit frustrating for me...)
