Because this sort of thing doesn't HURT anybody., December 27, 2011
by Andrew Schultz (Chicago)

If you like cheap yucks, then this author's works are worth looking at. This may be the most complex of his works, featuring different verbs, a timing puzzle and various silly deaths you know are there but you just have to try. NGW features different verbs and actual puzzles. And it's been tested since its initial release, with a few extra jokes thrown in, with "you can't go that way" better supported.

I'm a bit confused as to why I needed to (Spoiler - click to show)enter and leave the nudist colony in order to leave the place called "win" and win, though I'm probably missing a meta-joke, and also this would've been handy to speed things up:

(Spoiler - click to show)does the player mean unlocking with the iron key: it is very likely.

It's a bit too short to give a meaningful rating to, but basically, it's good for a small lazy break when your usual time wasting games aren't cutting it. On playing games like this I feel sure I could do better, then I sit down and realize it's not so easy. I like the riff on clothes in an IF game, and that's enough for the time the player needs to invest (a few minutes.)

That winning thing is actually a bug I THOUGHT I fixed... I think I finally fixed it now and uploaded a new version to the IF archive where it's awaiting approval. I also added that extra line of code.

It's funny how this is my most complex game when it was actually my first! I guess I just wanted to experiment with as much as I could so I could use it as a reference. I actually have finished a far more complicated game, but I haven't released it yet. Saving it for later.

Looking forward to your next effort--should be fun. Yeah, I was amused to see your most complex was your first.

Lots of bugs we think are fixed, aren't. That's how programming is.
