completed this with like 1600 seconds on the clock, and 938 of the green stuff. very fun little thing!

the biggest issue for me was the keyboard controls --- they were completely nonsensical to me (as a ZXC+arrow keys traditionalist) and kept tripping me up the entire game. Also, the X key did not toggle missiles for me (I had to use E for that).

Finally, a game for everyone who has wanted to be a Gex worker.

Thanks! I think this project really benefitted from having a week to think between the first 37 and last 107 minutes.

i playd this

Extremely inscrutable (compliment)

Gave it another spin today and it seems to work quite well now. Thank you!

Very true to life.

This part can have a part of my heart.

Fun game.

Bug report: A lot of choices for the front door don't work correctly because of the #all:shtop command stopping execution of the door's code. Perhaps you meant to use "#others:shtop"?

I'm not sure what arrangement would be ideal, but I think these keys would at least be workable:

Arrow Keys - Move

Left Shift - Morph

Z - Jump

X - Beam

C - Missile

A - Dash

Enter - Pause

Remappable controls would be ideal, but I'm sympathetic regarding the effort required to implement them.

Fun game.

I was about to ignore the game because it was gamepad only, but I'm glad I figured that out and gave it a proper chance.

The beans giveth. The beans taketh away.

They're normal bears (just not good bears). Either way, I'm not surprised you picked out that reference.

Metafictionally, I'd slot this in as either a fever dream or a children's book (perhaps vandalized?).

Daaaaaang.

UPDATE: I made-a the zeepza:

not bad.

A very silly and magical quest indeed.

That's the thing about life. Sometimes, even if you're perfectly alert, it finds a way to blindside ya.

I'm glad you enjoyed this despite (or because of?) the disorientation.

Banana Truck Pt. 1 would have been an excellent game to fit this Oktrollberfest rating rubric.

Unfortunately, Banana Truck Pt. 2 (while an enthralling experience in and of itself) is a serious game for scholarly intellectuals, and thus falls short in most of the rating categories provided here.

This is an example of what scholars refer to as "systemic oppression" or "The Tragedy of Ezektiel."

Well. I figured out how to [REDACTED] the [REDACTED], but likely won't figure out how to proceed from there.

Neat little thing.

NoahSoft is the quite the beast.

Fantastic.

Proud to have the Stuart Gipp Seal of Approval.

In the name of the moon, I think this is pretty swell.

Good variety of fursonas. I approve.

Took me a while to intuitively grok the centipedes at a glance, but I was able to learn eventually.

He's a retrocomputing YouTuber who likes woodgrain things. A few years back he actually sold some woodgrain socks (though I didn't get them v_v;).

sorry i don;'t know what plaid is -- i just make videogames

the woodgrain socks are an LGR reference

Thank you. These silly games/characters mean a lot to me, so I try my best.

Ooooh yeah... that one line about rum and death. I knew it felt familiar somehow.

I guess I'm just unfamiliar with the meme being referenced here.

...should I be afraid?

nice game to play while eating dinner :)

Lovely collection of a wide variety of ZZT experiences, covering a wide gamut of polish and scope. These are all ZZT to me.

A big symphony of trolls and troubles and delights, spanning a wide variety of tones and scales. From series-spanning meta-jokes, to game-spanning japes, to little game design jokes, to blink-and-you-miss-it nods, this game has it all.

My favorite board was probably the House of Horrors. Brace yourself for the terrors that lurk within...

thanks :3
