This was wonderful! So many
This was wonderful! So many endings! It reminded me of Secrets Agent… which I think is only because of vague similarities, including: the title, the overhead perspective, the protagonist's colour scheme, and the fact it's a browser-based game hosted on itch.
I wasn't driven to participate in this jam because I'm not very drawn to the mechanics of Hunt The Wumpus. I don't know why a narrative approach didn't even occur to me.
Thank you so much :) I
Thank you so much :) I remember Secrets Agent, and I appreciate the comparison!
I honestly didn't feel like I would be able to participate either, because I have so many other things I want to be working on. But I've been in a bit of a funk recently, and I had this idea out of the blue a few days ago, and I just had to do it :) I'm so grateful for the positive reception, it means a lot to me!
This was a really cute
This was a really cute story! The first ending I got was the one where you never back out, and I didn't really feel like seeing more endings because that one was really nice. Normally I would want to see all the endings in this type of game, but I ended up just trying a few out of curiosity and then stopping.
I'm glad you found it cute,
I'm glad you found it cute, you're like an expert on cuteness!!
it seems like almost everybody experiences the game like you did. although I wanted to make the endings varied, it's not designed for anybody to seek ALL of them out. I think it's good to know when to stop!
I enjoyed this. I'm also
I enjoyed this. I'm also feel satisfied with my ending though it is a different one from sylvie's. I decided not to over stay my welcome.
I especially liked the wind-noises. They were pleasant and I liked the amount of variation.
Yay, thank you! I'm glad you
Yay, thank you! I'm glad you liked the wind noises so much, I tried to do my best with them :) I've thought about sampling myself making wind whistling noises for a long time but I never had a good reason until now.
Narration
Enjoyed the writing. It reminds me of old Zzt games where its real strength came form its affinity for displaying text.
I also was curious if this had anything to do with the old TI (Texas Instruments) console version of Hunt the Wumpus?
I used to play that often as a kid.
Thanks! The ZZT comparison
Thanks! The ZZT comparison is not lost on me, that's a good link!
I've never played the TI version of Hunt the Wumpus but it sounds neat! I've played the original a bit when I was really into reading about old computers, and I've seen a few remakes of it.
Adorable
Such a cute tale. I wonder what happened to them after though...
Thank you! And I'll have to
Thank you! And I'll have to leave what happens next up to the reader's imagination, but personally I think whatever happens, they will be happy :)
!!!
What a heartwarming game! I got some endings by accident because I didn't understand the mechanic, but then I got what seems like the best ending and kept it. Makes me feel like maybe I am a Wumpus.
