A fun magical adventure in adventuron, June 29, 2023I briefly beta tested this game.
This Adventuron game has you searching for seashells on a beach. Pretty soon, though, things take a drastic turn, and you end up (Spoiler - click to show)being able to cast spells!
The game also utilizes two protagonist perspectives which is nice, reminding me of the old Atlantis Indiana Jones game.
Overall, the mechanics worked well for me. I think the design of the game could have supported an even larger game, but it's pretty substantial already and is part of a competition for beginners, so it makes sense.

Fine introduction to IF (TALP) and quick fun for experienced players, June 2, 2023
This is the fourth Barry Basic game and "as always" it is fun with nice puzzles and simple but charming graphics.
You are eleven years old and are going to the beach with the class to find seashells and some more interesting stuff will happen.
As required by the TALP competition, it has an in-game tutorial the first 10 or so turns, which can be turned off if needed. Everything was technically well done.
Parser/Vocabulary (Rating: 7/10)
The game can be completed with two-word commands but understand more than that. The parser was never a problem.
Atmosphere (Rating: 8/10)
The graphics are simple but atmospheric enough. The writing is terse but sufficient.
Cruelty (Rating: Merciful)
I doubt it can become unwinnable.
Puzzles (Rating: 8/10)
Fairly easy but fun, including some spell puzzles.
Overall (Rating: 9/10)
A really good introduction to new IF players (the purpose of the TALP competition) but also fun for more experienced players though it is quite easy.
