Okay went back and took another crack at this after watching Dr. DOS' stream on it and I am mystified by how you did this. Brain-meltingly sneaky and smart and I'm still not able to get all the way through it but WOW. I never ever would have imagined something this mind-warping. All-timer troll.

I agree with everything WiL and Dos said. Massive fuckery and requiring me to actually go outside of ZZT was awesome.

(Plus the writing was top notch, as always ^_^)

Holy sh- outstanding. I said aloud, to my screen, "Now this is some goddamn fuckery."

While it is wonderful that many beautiful games of length owe their existence to this contest, it's even more wonderful, to me, that the contest continues to deliver unique ZZT experiences. I've never played a ZZT game where the game is just all "figure me out in the editor, fucko, if you dare" and then makes me decide how much editing is actually required and whether I've actually "won". Bravo.

Word got out to me that someone who made something for Zin's Neat ZZT Board Jam submitted to Oktrollberfest and my first thought was "I hope it was the person that made the beach board." so needless to say I was pumped to play this one.

I really liked it! I streamed it along some others on Twitch (link to VOD forthcoming). Excellent use of integrating ZZT's editor into part of the challenge. Though I lingered on the title screen before starting for too long so I knew immediately the editor would be involved.

It's a bit tough to tell exactly what code you should be modifying with certainty. I had the crew turn into lions on me and am now wondering if I should have added a #die to the object leading into that section or if there was another method, but this was good stuff! Good obfuscation and using pre-bound objects to make the hunt a little harder.

I DO NOT GET IT

I feel absolutely stumped. I might come give it another go with fresh eyes tomorrow. Incredible troll.

Well done!

I literally could not tell if my approach was intended. Top marks for trolling.
