Cute inform/vorple kids game about eating magical plants, May 3, 2021I beta tested this game.
In this vorple/inform game with illustrations of plants, you play as a young creature eager to eat every magical plant you can get your hands on.
As per the text adventure literacy jam rules, you are expected to only use 2-word inputs and have simple language.
Caleb is a great author, and this game shares features with his earlier work, Starry Seeksorrow. It is intended for kids, but I enjoyed the puzzles, and I especially appreciated that solving them all is not necessary for winning. When I beta tested, I missed a couple the first time around.
Somewhere between the time I tested and the time it got put up on itch, the vorple framework seemed to get weird (maybe from itch interactions?), so that each image only shows up halfway until more text appears underneath it (such as when hitting enter).
It's a simple game, but I'm giving it a 5 as I found it polished, descriptive, enjoyed the interactivity, felt an enjoyable emotional impact, and would play again (and did play again!)
