After two months of constant effort and a ton of help from BOYD1981, I am very proud to present the first playable cartoon episode in what will hopefully be an ongoing series:




In this game you jump into the overalls of Limey Lizard, waste maintenance worker and generally the laziest lizard in space as he finds himself unwillingly plunged into an adventure of truly filthy proportions!

FEATURING:
---------------

EXCESSIVE INVENTORY!

THRILLING MUSIC

AN EPIC MINIGAME

DIFFICULTY LEVELS THAT ACTUALLY AFFECT GAMEPLAY!

MORE FILTH THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A PLUNGER AT

AND MUCH MORE!


So what are you waiting for?  Get your gear together and let's clean up some filth!

NOTE:

I'll get a better host when I have a chance.  For now, this is what there is.

Do not post bug reports in this thread.  Send them to ProgZmax@gmail.com so I can address them quickly.

Do not ask for hints in this thread.  I'm asking Darth beforehand to delete any such posts as they simply clutter things up, but the hint forum is there if you need it! :)


Enjoy this Halloween gift from me to you.


Fixes in v 1.2
------------------

Limey appeared behind some pipe spray (FIXED)

Some sounds wouldn't play (FIXED)

Limey would try to open the port or interact with Meeba when  using the spanline (FIXED)

Fixes in v 1.1
------------------

Limey wouldn't appear at the end (FIXED)

Missing sound when Limey groans (FIXED)

Sound out of synch with button press (FIXED)


Edit:

I've included a rundown of the controls below for people who won't read readmes even when they're highly recommended:

1. F1 will bring up the options menu, where you can adjust music volume, sound volume, game difficulty, and turn speech on and off.

2. Left click your mouse to walk or on an item to interact with it. Left clicking on an inventory item will pick it up.

3. Right click your mouse to examine things, including your inventory. Right clicking on an inventory item when you have one picked up will try to use the items together.

4. Space allows you to talk to things that can talk.

5. The arrows on the right of the gui are for moving through your inventory.

6. The button on the upper right of the gui is to quit the game; CTRL-Q works the same way.

7. The S and L buttons on the gui are for saving and loading.

IIIIIIIIIH! That C64(?) style makes me shivers (in a good way) ;D

I'll be back when I've tried it more thoroughly...

cool I've played the MAGS entry and it was quite fun. Going to check this soon!

oh no! the file seem to be removed, the alternate download link that is

Dave Gilbert

He's the laziest lizard in space...

That theme song will be stuck in my head forever.

"I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe. Destroyed pigeon nests on the roof of the toolshed. I watched dead mice glitter in the dark, near the rain gutter trap.
All those moments... will be lost... in time, like tears... in... rain."

Ended just when I started to love main character. Were this game longer and had harder puzzles it would become a classic.

What's with the difficulty levels anyway? Where? When? How?

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens

I've fixed the alternate download link.

As far as the difficulty levels, they directly impact the minigame difficulty and certain puzzles.  Also, the game has a few secrets to uncover, so don't count out Limey just yet!

Is there a higher rank than waste wizard?
 


eMTe

Yeah, but what is this "difficulty level"? Call me what you want, but I dont have a single tiny clue what we're talking about. ;)

I dont count him out, but I already miss him. 8)

Great game so far. Stupid goop....

Thanks Prog. :)

Try pressing F1  :=

The ratings are mainly subjective (there are two different endgame 'rewards', though!), but my advice is to write down whatever you got in case it's useful later.

YAY!

Cute game, really made me laugh and smile :D. Great theme song and nice use of voice acting too!

Really liked the minigame, and it even took me a couple of goes to finish!

Still seems like I missed out on a few secrets, so I'd better give it another shot (maybe on the harder difficulty level) 8)

Stefano

What a cool Halloween gift! So nicely put together.
Please make it into a series.

I've finished as "Acceptable". "Waste Wizard" must be a way better rank, I suppose.

Trying to make my first AGS game.

Buckethead

yay I've finished on hard. But still with "acceptable"  :-\

I enjoyed this game, thank you for taking the time to make it. Please make more in future.  :)

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens

I spotted a couple of small (but insignificant) bugs which I have fixed:

1.  If you ask Lucky to reach the antenna through talking to him (instead of using the icon) two sound effects are missing.

2.  Spray from one of the pipes appears in front of Limey at the end.


These fixes in no way require anyone who has already downloaded the game to get it again :).  I will upload the fixed versions tomorrow.
