This one pleasantly surprised me! I had a lot of fun figuring out the right ways to combine the various words i had to scavenge for! I've never played a text adventure game, but this was definitely a good use of the medium! This game definitely has the most innovative and interesting usage of crafting mechanics, fun factor is pretty good (Though i did get stuck at one point) Art/graphics was... Fine, I mean how good can a text adventure's art be! haha
I noticed a lack of music and sound, which, is also fair for this type of game I suppose but was disappointing.


Overall a really innovative unique little game.

This one was a fun twist on the text adventure games! I had a blast trying to figure out how to craft the words in the right order. But what blows me away is how you set up the system in a way that if I edit the gameText.txt file, I'm able to expand on it and add more to the game! This opens a cool possibility of having other people create stories and share them! You didn't just make a game... You made a freakin' game engine! (:O) I LOVE this game to bits! Good job with applauses all around!

We had actually talked about polishing it a bit to make it easier for people to use and open sourcing the whole project.  We found out that writing the puzzles was a puzzle on its own!  I figure it could be a fun tool for people to work with after some polish.

i was really suprised playing this game , i except nothing because of the art and no screenshots and all , but i got really suprised! i had a lot of fun playing it and its a really interesting concept. Never played a text game , One thing i would chance , by the end all the texts were in the end and it got hard to pick the one i wanted, maybe make two lines or 3 , taking that it was a lot of fun.
