LOL on the batch file game! I need to clean up now after all the animals, clearly my computer was not built like the ark! Store for 40 days ?

Arguably the most important 7,945 byte video game on the internet.

I'd triple the rating for creativity on this entry if I could. Here's hoping my 2.5mb sexy mosquito makes the trip successfully.

This was really creative! I just would like more space to save more animals, but, I guess i gotta be selective hahahaha. Awesome!

For some reason when I play it says that I have 0 bytes of space, so I can't fit any animals. I just refused them all and started the flood without them. Jokes on you cyber god, they're all dead now. Love the creativity with this.

5 times 5 out of 5! Excellent idea and extremely creative. I enjoyed it a lot, however I now regret to have sent the evil snail away ._.

@snails84 Oh no, sorry to hear that! Poor animals!
Would love to fix it, but no idea what happened there :/ This was the first time I wrote anything in batch and to be honest I still don't really understand how half of it works :sweat_smile:

You don't know how happy I am to see a batch game in LD!!! Batch was my first ever intro into controlling computers, and just looking at your code brought back memories! The game itself was unique, nice take on the theme :)

Hahaha, I'm on Linux, so all I could really do was read the source, but that was pretty funny.

I'm on Mac, so I just read the source. Now that's a creative approach to a game :) Never saw a game in BAT file :)

I love how you can try to interact with the narrator but he is saying his lines and some times it makes you giggle be (for instance i said i like trains and he realized what i want help at all and said kbye). i love that the game is a bat file btw. good job dude you will be followed by one more avarage programmer.

I really liked how you managed to evoke some emotions in me with just several lines of text basically, no real graphics or music which're often used to supplement similar effects. Proves how strong of a medium games are thanks to the interactivity, some actual choices to be made. Great job! And, uh, see you in 42 days, hope you won't forget. ._.
