The codephrases for disaster:

Telephone and computer being fixed...

No Intercom...

Door locked from inside...

5:00 PM (17:00)...

Evening deep-sea fishing trip at 5:30...

Introducing the promotion for the most awaited Short all quarter....



That's right!  
5- O'Clock Lock!

This game may be small, but it'll keep you up into the wee hours of night trying to figure out the intricacies and solutions of, and to this game.  Don't be fooled by length, this game packs a punch that only your amphibian friend can deliver!

-- 3 rooms!

-- 1 PC, 1 NPC (2 in total!);

-- 14 inventory items!

-- A tolerable amount of puzzles!



Walking around in the office, thinking of a way to escape!

Beautiful.

Hold your breath and wait for this game., sure to be a smash!

And even though It may be small, or short, don't let that make you not want to play!  That just means that there is a lot of care in a 3 room game, rather than medium care in a 20-room game(Not saying that all long games have no care, most of them are awesome.  I'm just sayin, the ones that dont.. nevermind)

Sorry, could not resist. That is where the name came from right?
ok...
The cursors look really funny (in a good way). Even the guy's face made me laugh. This should be an interesting game. How can something full of Gradients not be?

It looks great!
I can't wait for it to come out!
I love the cursors, and the character made me laugh.  Cute.

I like that sunset thing on the second screenshot.
I can tell that the game is mainly based in the office.  I am curious to know what you use with such limited space!

Gradients...Why, oh why oh why? Please refrain from using gradients, then I might consider playing the game when it's done...

That's kind of funny Zor, seeing how your signature has an enourmous lens flare and all...
You whet my pants...

Gradients in a  real-life drawing (background): BAD
Gradients in non-bground: Not so good but can be done.

OK, that's enough about the gradients.
Let's talk about me game  ::)

Wow this game would be so good, if it hadn't have gradients! The gradients really make it look bad! AArgh, my eyes :p


ok ok... serious, it sounds funny, though can't you make the game alittle longer? I mean 3 rooms, and a crapload of puzzles... hard to believe i.m.h.o. but we'll see the 8th of April ;)

Picky, Picky Picky...  ::)

Short Games are awesome!

About the gradients? They're hard to use, but if you use them well they'll look pretty nice

Geez, people on these forums are fucking Nazis about gradients.  It completely escapes me sometimes.

Best of luck with your game, releasethefrogs :)

A big hug :)


OK, there is another fatal error.  Life sucks when you have my computer.

But I know that it will be fixed- so keep calm everyone.




BTW I need 2 beta testers for when it is fixed, whoever replys first will get the job, whoever reply's second may get the job, too.
