[Riddle School]

A little surprised that this apparently has something capable of offending to the point it was worth making a disclaimer.

I mean, it probably needs a new disclaimer now, but for a different reason.

[Riddle University]

Oh wait... this takes the joke game by [UNNAMED BAD PERSON] where you die in a click that ended up doing a huge reveal for the rest of the series... and makes it into more of a proper Riddle School game?? Sign me up!

Also, "Smiley Mode"? Better Smiley sprite? What do you mean by that?

Ah lmao, alright

Nice to see the hell pit still exists in a way! And more references to the aliens too. Also, the world is ending, huh? Sounds about right.

"RUN FAST! RUN FANCY!" love to see it :)

Ok, Mrs. Bulldozer's room is arguably one of the most creative ideas I've seen, it really threw me off at first. Phil's locker also has some cool easter eggs, tho I wonder why there's so much spaghetti in this gam- Phil why do you wanna take over the world?

There are a few quirks to this game tho: sometimes objects appear unlabeled, and sometimes the stuff written doesn't fit on the label at all.

WE'RE STUCK IN A SECOND DETENTION ROOM???

This is definitely the liveliest Riddle School I've ever been to. A surprisingly big amount of cutscenes too!

Another thing that could have some improvement: a way to at least see the name of the things you've obtained. Like. I got the item from the head office, and... I have no idea what it is. A long quill? A skewer? Even worse, I got no feedback from when I used it, BUT...

at the end of the day, it doesn't matter, this was a great throwback to the olden days. Well done!

Jesus Christ, almost everyone had grim fates...

GammaGotGuy responds:

oh yeah, you need to go to the inventory slot (open the map tab and go to the inventory tab) and click on it, itll explain what the item is and will give you hints, thanks tho :D

[Driven Wild]

I know nothing about racing games, but I've always wanted to try out the likes of Cruisin' and whatnot. This right here tho, is really fun. Very addicting too, it's fun to weave around the cars, keep your speed up, good stuff! And the music, I forgot to mention: unlike most folks here, I can't really pick a favorite, they're all bangers in my books, going for slightly different vibes that fit the racing all the same! It almost feels diegetic in away, like tuning your radio to different stations or inserting different cassettes/disks in your ride's music player, they all fit that particular vibe.

I'm nowhere near as good as I know a lotta people can be at these games, but I'm not gonna lie, it feels good to see my name up there in today's high score list.

Also, how the hell did Bletraut finish in 43 seconds??? Ah, it was a cheat. Yeah, I assumed so, but damn, how did he pull that off? Nevertheless, thanks for giving the rest of us a sporting chance :)

Edit: YOOOOOO, custom art for the achievements? Nice!

And, I finally got the Perfectionist achievement! Good grief, that took some doing...

KilledByAPixel responds:

Thanks so much! I cleared out the offending score, there are always ways to cheat the system,

[Dragonsweeper]

Probably the best reimagining of Minesweeper I've seen so far! The rules of the game take some time to fully understand, but once you realize the patterns, you can start to strategize and get the upper hand! Even tho I lost many a runs, it was addicting enough for me to keep going until I won!

To anyone who thinks this game is mostly luck and little strategy, I urge you to consider otherwise. When the game tells you to look at monster patterns when you die, there's a damn good reason for that. Start by understanding what the purple question marks mean. Maybe look for certain arrangements and patterns on the board, things that remain consistent over multiple runs, look for the reasons why some monsters of the same type are in different poses sometimes... There's more to it than what it initially seems, and figuring out these rules is part of the fun!

Edit: After many tries, I got Lovers Survive, Future Generation and Rat Pacifist, all three at once in a single run! After that I decided to check some comments here, there were actually a few more patterns I hadn't noticed yet, tho I did get most a them on my own. Time for the ultimate challenge...

Edit: Cleared out the entire board! The ending was actually a bit different too... This makes me wonder, if we go for a single stamp on a run, does the ending change for all a them? Regardless, I am now at peace :)

[Looming]

Still one of the most beautiful and intriguing exploration games I've ever played. It's how I learned of Myst too! Playing it again got me wondering how the Oarbor could've looked like, hehe. It's also more tightly designed than what I remembered - any artifacts that you can unearth are always near a path or landmarks that you'll visit, so thankfully you never have to meander around the deserted wastes to stumble into anything by luck. Very satisfying to explore.

[The End]

It was cute, and easy to follow. The confused people down here simply have negative IQ lol

[ZOID]

68.4!

[Le Chat Fonce and the Secret of the Clock Tower]

Very nice! I found every red piece and painting, but I still got the B ending... Plus, I honestly expected a confrontation with the Baron, but there kinda wasn't one. So... how do we get the endings exactly? And how many decorations are there?

Oh, also, there's a note you can't read in the basement. Some notes also seem to repeat, as well as the Baron's dialogue once, but I think these are just there in case we missed the first ones. Oh, and the dialogue regarding the apartment for Snowflake said that Chat "found a place for rent on the (insert here) floor", and he says the guy is named Loyd but he's actually Gary, so... that does feel a bit unfinished, hehe. I would also talk about how some lines let us know the Baron's name is actually Blake before the actual reveal, but that's honestly up to you to see fit with how the story goes.

One last problem I encountered - the elevators don't reset when you use them. So, if you use one to reach a higher floor, then teleport back to a lower floor... the elevator won't go down, and it will in fact be blocking the path upwards if we fly through the elevator shaft.

[Folder Dungeon]

Very fun!

[Lost in Lampyrid Fog]

Firefly Forest sequel?? YES PLEASE!
