Spudcannon by YarharALC

[raw]
made by YarharALC for LD32 (COMPO)
This is a text adventure that will give you hope, break your heart, and maybe... just maybe... teach you a lesson.

I lied, it's a story about a spudcannon.

Note: I cut it short, because I was scared I'd go over time if I didn't. There will be a post compo version at some point.

Amusing text adventure - Why am I high on fire ant poison?

Pretty damn funny, not much to say on the gameplay front aside from the humour, which was great and pretty unexpected considering this is LD. looking forward to the Post Compo additions. One potato... Two potato... Three potato... How many was that again?

I think this teaches very many valuable life lessons. Should replace geography in public school curricula.

Nice little adventure, but shooting zombies with a spudcannon (almost) never works. :D

Brilliant text adventure; it gets right to the point; my scarves were beautiful. This game made me really happy, and it's all the funnier because it won't let me replay it, which adds weight to the narrative. Bravo!

@Iceburg7 WHOAWHOAWHOA. You can totally replay it. I shouldn't allow for that in hind sight, but you can. Top right of the screen

Haha, very good. At least something different than Unity.

Seriously hilarious. One of the few examples where the feeling that I'm fighting against the game's wishes actually feels good and fun. Great job!

Nice one, the spudcannon is a nice idea to play with (or not).
