UPDATE: I made-a the zeepza:

not bad.

A very silly and magical quest indeed.

That's the thing about life. Sometimes, even if you're perfectly alert, it finds a way to blindside ya.

I'm glad you enjoyed this despite (or because of?) the disorientation.

Banana Truck Pt. 1 would have been an excellent game to fit this Oktrollberfest rating rubric.

Unfortunately, Banana Truck Pt. 2 (while an enthralling experience in and of itself) is a serious game for scholarly intellectuals, and thus falls short in most of the rating categories provided here.

This is an example of what scholars refer to as "systemic oppression" or "The Tragedy of Ezektiel."

Well. I figured out how to [REDACTED] the [REDACTED], but likely won't figure out how to proceed from there.

Neat little thing.

NoahSoft is the quite the beast.

Fantastic.

Proud to have the Stuart Gipp Seal of Approval.

In the name of the moon, I think this is pretty swell.

Good variety of fursonas. I approve.

Took me a while to intuitively grok the centipedes at a glance, but I was able to learn eventually.

whomst amongst ust willst be brave enoughst to cooka da zeepza?

He's a retrocomputing YouTuber who likes woodgrain things. A few years back he actually sold some woodgrain socks (though I didn't get them v_v;).

sorry i don;'t know what plaid is -- i just make videogames

the woodgrain socks are an LGR reference

Thank you. These silly games/characters mean a lot to me, so I try my best.

Ooooh yeah... that one line about rum and death. I knew it felt familiar somehow.

I guess I'm just unfamiliar with the meme being referenced here.

...should I be afraid?

nice game to play while eating dinner :)

Lovely collection of a wide variety of ZZT experiences, covering a wide gamut of polish and scope. These are all ZZT to me.

A big symphony of trolls and troubles and delights, spanning a wide variety of tones and scales. From series-spanning meta-jokes, to game-spanning japes, to little game design jokes, to blink-and-you-miss-it nods, this game has it all.

My favorite board was probably the House of Horrors. Brace yourself for the terrors that lurk within...

thanks :3 

Thanks for the kind words. I'll keep your points in mind for an update I release after the jam's over.

My main criticism of my own work here, especially after watching your stream, is that I wrote way to much stuff. Unfortunately, "decreasing the wordcount by 33%" is well beyond the effort I'm willing to expend for an update.

I had to lower the game speed for one board, but overall this was quite fun. Good work.

Absolutely stunning achievement in design. My brain is melting.

Had to do a full reset once, but this wasn't too bad:

For some reason this game makes me imagine how the Gamers of 1979 would have reacted to the WALL, and that makes me smile.

Maxed out my score. Good work.

Nice to see the egg and the cat getting along.

Very nice work. I enjoyed explaining the plot of this one to my wife.

If we search inside ourselves we might find that the answer has been among us all along.

Thanks. Art boards are probably my favorite thing to make in ZZT. :3

Thanks. The ending sequence was one of the first ideas I had for this, so I'm glad to hear it turned out well. :3c

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

Sorry but that's just- *gets shot*

Score: 222

Good jape.

Cathy doesn't have a nose, for one.

For two, I asked my friends for anime/manga references of that particular expression.

Not intentional, but it's funny enough that I'm considering this issue a WON'T FIX

Congrats!

Attempting to buy the boulders is a trigger that allows you to look for gems in some places (such as the one in Craigo's shop). Try re-inspecting some things that you looked at earlier.

this is the last straw! i'nm done with waeve! who's gonna join me and switch to using ZXTs?
