Adventuron wordplay game, May 10, 2025

Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

This game was fun to play in the Text Adventure Literacy Jam.

It's a wordplay game based on shifting rhymes, and written with Adventuron. I really appreciated the extensive explanations and help early on, the colored text and the little hints really helped me navigate the game.

The images went perfectly with the game as well, having the same whimsical vibe as the rest.

Gameplay was simple in a pleasing way, good for the context the Literacy Jam, but there are a ton of accomplishments that I didn't achieve which diligent players could search for.

I liked the game overall, but I don't see myself revisiting it; it felt like a one-time satisfying play.

Quirky Test version 2 released!July 5, 2025
ParserComp was a wonderful opportunity for me to learn a new language. But I was still learning it when the deadline came. And while I'm proud of the initial produdct, I fixed up a lot in version 2. Thanks to all who helped -- there were a lot of you! In particular, Leon Lin, Tabitha and Wade Clarke gave help.

The big-picture changes:
--2 bonus points shifted to where they give an item that helps with achievements at the end, while 2 more sensible/fun bonus points replace them
--17 total achievements now
--graphics added and upgraded
--bonus points now carry over with each playthrough
--general bugfixing and text tweaking

The source for Version 2 clocks in at 368055 bytes (321017 if we get rid of the embedded graphics.)
