ISN: Kill!

[Harvester]

It's finally there! My first game! Actually, not first, it's third, but I don't count the previous two.
Anyway, it's about a Scotland Yard inspector who has to find a beautiful ring lost by a girl. Don't let the lame idea put you off. The lack of quality should put you off, mwahahahaah!!!
The game is pretty short, about as an average RON game. The style of graphics is similar, too. Only the puzzles are a bit weirder.

How the heck do i get the hook off the coathanger?

[Nostradamus]

I love the humor in this game  

The graphics should be less blurry though and the cursor icons are so small and unclear that I had to use the icon bar. That's what you should improve in your next games. And you must make more games!

Arthphreak:

Spoiler

You need to use it on something very solid.

Maybe you should look at the walls for inspiration

Now I need a little help for my own:

Spoiler

can't get the cow from the bat for the plant nor open the trap door

[close]

[Harvester]

For Nostradamus:
Yes, well, I think EVERYONE ho has played the game complained about the small icons, so I won't use them again :-)
As for hints...

Spoiler

Those two problems are related. You have to solve the trapdoor puzzle first. Explore the kitchen REALLY REALLY carefully

I need some help too:

Spoiler

i have the hook and the wire but i can't put them together to get the ring out of the aquarium

[close]

[Harvester]

Here's another hint:

Spoiler

You have to use the wire to tie the hook to something else.

[close]

[Inkoddi]

What something else?? I've tried everything with everything and nothing works!

I also found some bugs:

  When you have shot the bat and interact with the window the game crashes (character not in room)
  If you go outside after you got rid of the plant you cant enter again

[Harvester]

Thanks for reporting those bugs. If I ever do another version, I'll fix them. But... you don't need to interact with the window after shooting the bat and you don't need to leave the house after getting rid of the plant. Now, a more straight-forward hint.

Spoiler

Remember that lamp in the room with the mirror? Interact with it.

[Ciro Durán]

Hey, man, I have the same bug, my only save game is outside the house, I killed the plant, and now I have no turning back, I can't get the ring for the lady

I WILL SUE YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILY FOR THIS!111!11!!!!one!1!

[Harvester]

Well, I guess you'll have to start again.
MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, tell me exactly in which room does the game crash.

[After]

But... you don't need to interact with the window after shooting the bat and you don't need to leave the house after getting rid of the plant.

Well, that's ... er ... quotable. I await your next article on game design with trepidation.

Also, the cat seems to depend upon the order either of events or rooms entered, I'm not sure. Anyway, the game freezes if right-clicked during the second cat sequence.

Otherwise, nice surrealism.

[remixor]

I really liked your demo, so I'm looking forward to playing the full game.  Downloading now.

[Ciro Durán]

Well, I guess you'll have to start again.
MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, tell me exactly in which room does the game crash.

Spoiler

I scared the bat with the slingshot, and got the cow outside, I fed the plant with teh cow, and dissappeared, searched the couple of rooms there, got out of the house and never could get back in, since the door is lock-proof, rock-proof, bomb-proof, and everything else you can if of-proof, and the brilliant protagonist threw the key away, since he never needed again.

[Nostradamus]

More help needed:

Spoiler

I caught the mouse and took all the items from the kitchen. Still can't kill the bat nor open the trapdoor. How do I make a slingshot?

[close]

[Harvester]

OK, here's the hint for Nostradamus:

Spoiler

You have the mouse, now you have to catch the cat. You have the cat poison and the mouse. Think... And the slingshot is under the trapdoor.

As for the plant/locked door bug, I'll check it out, but it definitely wasn't there before.
No, wait, on second thought, I'll blame it on AGS  

[minataure]

Hey!!! Can't download! Why is that???

[Kweepa]

I, also, have been foiled in my quest by the locked door bug.
I was enjoying the game immensely.
Lots of great interactions!
Is there a good ending?
Is it worth starting again?

Steve

Edit:
Very nice game.
There is a good ending.
It was worth starting again.
But you should really fix that bug!

It's finally there! My first game! Actually, not first, it's third, but I don't count the previous two.

All righty then...

[Harvester]

For those who gave me compliments for the game: Thanks!

For those who are complaining about bugs: Thanks for the report, I will fix the bug(s).

For those who can't download the game: The URL is case sensitive. ISN is in caps. Why is it that way? I don't know, ask Tripod.

For Dave Gilbert: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nostradamus]

help:

Spoiler

OK, I got the slingshot, but I can't hit the bat cos it's too fast for me. What do I do to enhance ny abilities?
