I'm a bit baffled by this game. I've completed all four tasks, yet I've only got a score of 25 out of 40. As the game is extremely buggy, I'm wondering if the scoring is due to bugs or is there something obscure that I need to do in addition to the four tasks. Can anyone explain this?

Developer

There are 4 tasks that have the sum of 25 points at the end. That is the basic gameplay. The other 15 points are 2 tasks you did not found yet. One is a hidden easter egg. And the other is that which most players always skip when they start to play.

Thanks. I was very thorough, so I have no idea what those hidden tasks could be. I'll revisit this after I've played the other games in the jam.

EDIT: Aha! I have to do the tutorial task before starting the game. Now to find the Easter egg.

EDIT 2: I give up. I tried systematically clicking every item in every room and most combinations of items and I couldn't find any Easter egg. Maybe it's a command-prompt only thing, but I was never able to enter any commands that did not have a hyperlink equivalent.

Developer

yes, it is only command prompt. Try collecting something for grandma.

Thank you. Found it. I've now got 40 out of 40.

Once I type "bucket" I'm on a page that describe bucket. Is there a way to return from bucket description to room description with parser and without clicking the red bucket link?

Developer(+1)

Yes, either type BACK then enter, or on empty line press enter to let the engine simulate BACK command.

What is the correct command for putting splinters next to stove?

drop splinters

drop splinters stove

Stuck again... raspberries... I found bushes, but can't find the right command to pick raspberries from bushes. If these bushes are the right ones.

Developer

examine bushes 

Shows that there are raspberries? If not then seek again. But you are very close...

When I play command "examine bushes", I get response: "Just plain looking green bushes with some white flowers."

Is there anything I must perform to get raspberries here? It is in deep forest, is there bushes in some other areas (I couldn't find any). But I still didn't climb the hill. Hope raspberries are not there.

Developer(+1)

Seek the aid of an animal. Or talk with Grandma.

This was a fun little game. To begin with I thought the game was broken but it was because I did not read the tutorial thoroughly. I did not realise that I could "combine" objects by clicking only once at an object and then clicking on another object. Once I learned how to "click" my way through the game, everything went smoothly.

After completing the game, I tried to play it with parser commands instead. The parser is very untraditional as I have to type the coloured key words instead of standard commands such as TAKE BUCKET so I should only type BUCKET. Once I realised that, giving commands through the parser went fine, until I had to "combine" objects. The tutorial told me to  FILL BUCKET WITH WATER which worked fine. But as soon as I was past the tutorial and needed to "combine" objects I got in trouble. For instance, GIVE CAT TO GRANDMA doesn't work.

To summarise, it is a fine game for beginners with a nice user interface but the parser could be improved for those who prefer to play the game by typing commands. BTW, I couldn't save my progress.

Developer

Thanks for the report. I fixed the parser command for grandma+cat and found the bug in save/load progress.
