Wow, you have me blushing  ;-)  Your words are quite flattering. I am so glad to have created something that you connected with so deeply. Fingers crossed that I can get funding to build the Glum Buster full modern remake I dream of creating!

The video game I made for my sister is called "Puppy Stew". I did eventually release it to the public (on my sister's demand  :-D ) via Newgrounds. It was a pretty big hit there (a couple Game of the Month accolades). Upon checking, it looks like it is available on some web game archives: e.g. https://kbhgames.com/game/puppy-stew

For those following, I am now in very early discussion about remaking Glum Buster on modern technology.

Stay tuned and stay hyped!

Spread as much word about this game as you can, as the more people chattering about the game and a possible remake, the more leverage I have in securing a publishing deal.

Howdy! Sorry for the very, very long delay in response.

There are indeed a total of 349 grins. 275 is the number of grins that come from single-bust glums. Combo-busting glums multiplies each glum's grin value by the number of glums combo-busted (e.g. 3 glums combo-busted makes all three of those glums give up 3 grins each). Looks like you already know this, though, but providing context on that 275 number.

Hope this helps and so glad you played this video game!!

@iceninexp Wow, thanks! I am so glad you enjoyed your time with Glum Buster, and even more glad that the game resonates so well and has stuck with you. This is very flattering praise, indeed.

My son recently reached  an age and video gaming experience enough that I let him play GB. It was such a joy, even after all these years, being a silent bystander and watching him take everything in and solve every puzzle.

I appreciate this post!

Of course I remember you! Great to hear your opinion.

Well, this would be 100% dependent upon crowd support. So, either tens of thousands of downloads here, or a new Kickstarter campaign. Unfortunately, I can't start a KS campaign for it for a long while, because I'm busy preparing a different KS campaign. Thanks a ton for your support, your interest, and your comment :-)
