got trapped in the bathroom trying to work up the nerve to brush my teeth. also i played the game
haha thanks for playing! >:D
So silly. I shall be checking doors for the rest of my days.
xD
Nice. I wonder if this'll increase the chance for a Twine game on the good ol' Speccy or any sort of old 8-bit computer.
Thanks for sharing this.
thanks!! i agree it would be really cool to see more twine ports <3
There is actually something for the Speccy that is sort-of-a-Twine: https://github.com/cronomantic/ChooseYourDestiny
In fact, I used it for one of my games (a ZX Spectrum adaptation of the 1930 gamebook "Consider the consequences!" https://unapersona-y-otrapersona.itch.io/consider-the-consequences) and there are many more games using it. E.g. https://cperezgrin.itch.io/la-ciudad-a-oscuras-spider-man
that looks cool - thanks for sharing! :D
I just found this tool you could try for the Speccy line as well.
All it really needs is a more complete English translation and we got it.
The problem with that one is that it exports BASINC by default, so text compression is very bad in that one (but it also exports MuCho, another hypertext game creator for the ZX Spectrum, which has text compression and is a much more interest option!)
There are also BASIC compilers out there that might fix the text compression problem (perhaps Boriel Basic?). Not too sure about it, you get the idea.
I got sentenced to door prison T----T but this is so cool!!!
aahh thank you so much!
OMFG ADAM LE DOUX DOING A CALCULATOR GAME YESSSSSS FUCK YESSSS
haha yay thank you velvet <3 <3
i’m sure this won’t be the last >:D
ended up trapped in a front door back door loop without realising for about 5 minutes because i would have done the same. 10/10 game would play again
xD perfect - thank you for playing!
Very cool! Would love to see more calculator games.
<3 <3 <3
Props for making a game that works on a calculator! I didn't even conceive the possibility (outside of doom of course)
Good job :D
glad you enjoyed it! thanks for playing :D
