Looks nice, but... why don't ou use fonts fitting whit the game resolution???

To be honest I never really thought about the font one way or another. What do you mean by fitting with the game resolution though, like choose a less pixelated-looking font to go with the size? I'll keep it in mind for the future, anyway!

Thanks! Yeah, animations are definitely something I'm gonna work on in the future. If nothing else it's definitely pretty limiting to design cutscenes and things if all the characters only have at most a walking animation (hence the use of the Display function to indicate most of the actions]).

Hello,
I've just finished a short AGS game for one of the bimonthly contests on www.gamingw.net and figured that I might as well post it here to get more crits, etc. It's kind of rough in places in terms of some graphics and interactions but that was more due to time limitations than anything else, so what I'm really looking for feedback on is the puzzle design: which parts are too hard, too easy, too ridiculously obtuse, stuff like that.

So yeah, the theme of the contest this was made for was 'Fangames' so this is a kind of fangame based on the 'Biggles' series of childrens books by Captain W.E. Johns. In this game you play Rupert 'Biggles' Bigglesworth, the grandson of the original pilot, who scratches out a living from protecting the entire planet of Mars in his rickety old Sopwith Camel. Can he defeat the villainous Doctor Spectro and follow his childhood dream of becoming a dessert chef?

Right-clicking on Biggles brings up the inventory screen.

The soundtrack is mostly taken from the production music to Ren & Stimpy, there's a complete tracklisting in the readme file with the game. I'd have preferred custom but the time restraints meant I didn't try working with a musician.
