I'm a bit baffled by this game. I've completed all four tasks, yet I've only got a score of 25 out of 40. As the game is extremely buggy, I'm wondering if the scoring is due to bugs or is there something obscure that I need to do in addition to the four tasks. Can anyone explain this?

Thanks. I was very thorough, so I have no idea what those hidden tasks could be. I'll revisit this after I've played the other games in the jam.
EDIT: Aha! I have to do the tutorial task before starting the game. Now to find the Easter egg.
EDIT 2: I give up. I tried systematically clicking every item in every room and most combinations of items and I couldn't find any Easter egg. Maybe it's a command-prompt only thing, but I was never able to enter any commands that did not have a hyperlink equivalent.
When I play command "examine bushes", I get response: "Just plain looking green bushes with some white flowers."
Is there anything I must perform to get raspberries here? It is in deep forest, is there bushes in some other areas (I couldn't find any). But I still didn't climb the hill. Hope raspberries are not there.
This was a fun little game. To begin with I thought the game was broken but it was because I did not read the tutorial thoroughly. I did not realise that I could "combine" objects by clicking only once at an object and then clicking on another object. Once I learned how to "click" my way through the game, everything went smoothly.
After completing the game, I tried to play it with parser commands instead. The parser is very untraditional as I have to type the coloured key words instead of standard commands such as TAKE BUCKET so I should only type BUCKET. Once I realised that, giving commands through the parser went fine, until I had to "combine" objects. The tutorial told me to FILL BUCKET WITH WATER which worked fine. But as soon as I was past the tutorial and needed to "combine" objects I got in trouble. For instance, GIVE CAT TO GRANDMA doesn't work.
To summarise, it is a fine game for beginners with a nice user interface but the parser could be improved for those who prefer to play the game by typing commands. BTW, I couldn't save my progress.
