Lots of fun and interesting choices. Makes me want to keep playing again to explore different avenues
Loved this from start to finish. Very funny, enjoyed the hints of Douglas Adams and just great comedic writing overall. Thoroughly enjoyed the puzzle solving too! Plus the farting, tee hee.
There's farting??? I don't even remember writing the farting. Must have been done in a state of sleep deprivation. Or written by one of the other two.
Play the new one and rate it, or no more unicorns for you!

A very clever and slightly silly text adventure, with plenty of light-hearted space-themed animal and toilet-based humour. Also lots of opportunities to make deliberate and silly mistakes which should be encouraged.
Thanks! I've always loved games with silly mistakes. Anything where you get a little joke when you do something WRONG or RIGHT - I'm down for that.
Impressive writing, I have no idea how this was laid out in just 3 days! It reminds me a bit of Terry Pratchett in space, but that's probably because I'm reading The Color of Magic. Great art too, a superb entry overall!
All three game creators are huge fan of Terry Pratchett, and I myself just re-read "Hogfather" about 2 weeks ago.
I promise it was all in three days! 2 of us met up the day before and made a big master list of "themes we'd love to do if they happen to match", but we ended up doing none of them! It was a pretty manic 3 days, that's for sure. I'm unemployed and made this a 3-day full-time job, but 1 other writer was working part-time, and another was working full-time on Monday and taking care of his son over the weekend!
the text adventure blend of Douglas adams’ starship titanic, and Sierra online’s Space Quest 2.
Very enjoyable; with laugh-out-loud moments from absurd descriptions in the lavatory scene, to characters that could have come straight from the aforementioned writing houses :)
also kudos for an early game (loser) ending which made me want to fire up starship titanic again!
Hahahaha yeah, god, I DID play Starship Titanic, I couldn't even remember it's name but it's bouncing around somewhere in the back of my brain. Definitely an inspiration.
super-fun, and lovely tone. brings me back to zork and hitchhiker days.
now if only I could get past those darned squirrels - I don't suppose I'll have to eat an analgesic...?!
I liked the drawings and the sense of humour. The characters are well written too!
Cheers! The drawings were kind of a last-minute addition, and I'm so glad we had them - I didn't even know "nicotupe" could draw!
A hilarious game that harkens back to old-school point-and-click adventures that I grew up with in the 90s mixed with a healthy dose of absurdist English humour. Great hook off the top, and a very clear comedic voice. Loved it!
Thanks! Yep, we were aiming for a point-and-click experience, and "absurdist English humour" is our bread and butter!
Especially glad to hear it had a "clear comedic voice" - writing comedy is hard, I'm glad it came across!
If the old-school Lucas arts adventures were British and text based - and with more Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchet inspiration.
Great fun, well recommended.
Thankyou HamishtheCat, you have basically hit our inspirations! Two of our team of three are British, and all three of us love LucasArts, Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett! I'm overjoyed that you could detect what we were going for with our style.
Well, that was SOMETHING! I was laughing all the time, thanks for the experience.
I love the sense of humour. Very silly, very clever, very entertaining.
Wonderful storytelling, such a great humor!! It's impossible not to read it with intonation.
A beautiful mix between a gamebook and a graphic adventure game.
Wonderful, had some great Red Dwarf vibes, I enjoyed the Rimmer-like incompetence and cowardice of the main character! Also impressive amount of writing and art for such a short amount of time!
Sometimes there were walls of texts, and I feel like these could have be delivered in a more paced way. I think the first part with the minister is a good example, where single choices were used to pace the writing. In the later sections, more of this would have helped pace things out more.
Thank you!
We agree on the walls of text. With 6 hours to go, we had a friend playtest with the same feedback, but there wasn't much time to fix it, then.
I grew up watching Red Dwarf! It wasn't a conscious inspiration, but it was fits under our plan of Silly Space Comedy.
I love Brian

Some formatting issues etc that are all understandable given the 3 day time period. You guys did really well! This was really funny and charming.
I was smiling my whole way through this game. There are some bugs here and there, some formatting that you can fix where colours kind of break, but the narration is great and the humor just... resonates with me so much <3
I wish to be half as funny as you one day, lol
It kind of reminds me of some of the old point-n-click games where you have to type in controls and get a sassy response if you do something goofy. Liked the setting, too. This was a lot of fun!
Thank you! This is pretty much exactly what we were going for!
Puzzles and fun! Such a clever way to mix comedy, story telling and puzzle solving.
