Fun and charming. I really like how the goal with painting the eggs is more implied to the player through the books, rather than just some given instruction.
Weird bug: I had dropped the empty box of scraps outside the coop while feeding the chickens, before getting the eggs, and when I did get them, they were teleported into the box and not inventory. I was somehow still able to paint them, but not boil them, until I went and found the box, which was not listed as an object in that area. Maybe consider making box un-droppable?
Thank you!
Huh, that's weird indeed... I'll look into adding a condition to make the empty box un-droppable
This game was pretty cute and I enjoyed examining everything that’s highlighted. Each room having different background colors is a neat touch.
The puzzles are approachable, but I did have to play some guessing of the verbs. For example, it took me a while to know what I should type in the chicken coop area.
Really nice game and enjoyed playing it!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I did include the whole list of accepted verbs in the Hints (type 'HELP' or 'HINT'), I'll take notes for later!
I seem to have run into a possible bug during the ending - after presenting the eggs at the picnic, I just got a blank screen from which there was no exit. Enjoyed the game though!
Ah... seems I missed some `: redescribe` after the combo clear_screen/goto.
Sorry about that...
Should be all fixed now!
Glad you enjoyed the game :D
All I can do is echo Grizel: The history of the eggs was a nice addition to the story as well as the puzzles, and I liked that there were multiple endings. By the way, I made sure to pet all the animals. :D
Thank you!!
This game was very sweet, and I really loved the historical background / motivation behind the eggs. I lost the game during the part in the car, but it was great up until then 😆
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it!
