This game is interesting... but needs fixes

Hey, Energy Pumpkin! Long time no see! I’ve been busy on making games and decided to take a break. Then I went to see, if you have any new games. The latest game I was waiting for is this one.

The game is interesting though. I wonder, what engine did you use. Maybe it was designed to be scary, but I was playing with no audio, so I wasn’t scared at all. I also liked the idea of multiple endings too (I’ve got two endings so far)!

But the biggest problem I found about this game, is the computer scene, where you can run the same game (the virtual one) inside of a real one: I “run” this program and then I’m stuck forever in it. I had to restart the whole game from the beginning. So I’d appreciate, if you could fix this

Problem #2: No ability to put checkpoints, wherever I want them to be. Why? Well, when I reached the “Hold X to sprint” sign, it was fine, I even passed the run-away with a bit of trial and error. When I reached the forest (where I got my first ending), I was lost a bit. Then I found the dark area, where I couldn’t see anything, until I get the lantern. I find the axe, then this crab makes the second appearance and I leave the cave. Then I realized, that this would be another run-away scene. I get killed by the crab and then I’m next to that sign again. I know the first one is not that hard, but it’s too tiring, when you have to do it again. So, I gave up on the second try and turned the game off (I hope the game is saved). This checkpoint ability would help to avoid the first run-away scene from being repeated

I also wonder, who is that guy, who’s in a hole. Is that an CSP? Anyway, that’s all the problems I found. Good game, but needs to be fixed a bit.

So, that’s all, good luck on fixing this game and Happy Holidays!

Hi! thanks for the feedback! i will try to fix the game up a little bit until the next update! the engine was just regular scratch! currently, the game has NO saving but i might add a Copyable Save Code to the game to save the checkpoints and number of  endings gotten or EVEN BETTER i could use an extension from a website that lets me download files to the computer! (the website is called turbowarp,  witch is basically scratch but more customisable.)


BTW the guy in the cave is from one of my friends games (he added a part in HIS game with my game so i thought i should add his into mine in the form of an easter egg)

Thanks for playing my game!

Hey i just added saving in version 10.0! Its still really buggy but it saves to a TXT file and then you can copy the file and put the code in the game!

The rest of the info is on the computer in the game!

Hey! Thanks, it was a good update, I liked it! I liked the fact, that there is a text file in the virtual computer, too. Well, when I passed the first run-away scene, another checkpoint was near the “outside” door, which is fine, but I think, it was because I pressed a key. I don’t remember which key it was, but… that’s fine I guess. I passed the second run-away thing and got to the place, where I saw a “castle”. Before I saved, I went in, and saved next to a pickaxe. Then I found out, that this is yet another run-away. When I was doing this part, I went down to the place, that maybe said: “There is no ending”, but the crab still got me! It would be very nice, if the crab stopped chasing me, when I get the ending.

That’s not even the worst part about this, the worst, is that I’m back to the same checkpoint again and I decided not to save there. I would like to know, what key to press to place a checkpoint.

So, that’s it. I didn’t check, if the code I saved is working or not, but I looked inside the file, that I can press S to load, but I would never guess that. Maybe an improved title screen would be nice, like adding “New game”, “Challenge” and “Continue” buttons (or make the option to choose with arrow keys), instead of having to press a specific key. Otherwise it looks kind of odd to me. Improving a title screen would help me orient in it a bit more

Well, that’s it (for real this time). The update was not that bad, I didn’t even think, that you couldn’t improve the game from my requests 😀

If you’re wondering: “Where are the new games (and Puzzle Steper too)?” Don’t worry, I didn’t throw that away, but I wouldn’t tell you, what game is next (it’s a surprise, YK?) So, happy holidays and all that good stuff

And good luck!

Thanks! the game is very unfinished right now and the bottom path said "room error" or something along those lines, since there aren't any more levels past that point so it uses the error room. will probably fix in the next update!

Hey, I can't copy & paste the code into the game.

You have to copy the code from the file, then press the “load game” key (read game desc)
