A good short game, October 22, 2013
by streever (America)

This was a good, short, "one puzzle" game.

The only real frustration was an incredibly hard to guess game of guess the verb--there was no real clue or suggestion that what I was doing had any bearing on anything, and if I hadn't read that the game was beatable, I would have assumed it was a broken implementation.

I won't give any spoiler here: the game is beatable (and fun!) and worth playing. Just be prepared for a moment of frustration...

The writing is clever and enjoyable, and the puzzle is fun--I recommend playing this game.

Note: The zip file contains several games of varying quality. Downtown Train had an interesting premise, but it was hard to see what effect my actions were having. Zombies had poor technical implementation--error messages were clunky and the game overall was very simple. So far, I think Endgame is the best of this batch, but haven't played the others yet.
