A fix-the-machine game including a typo fixer, July 5, 2016

This game is a shortish parser game about a trial run of an automatic typo corrector. The majority of the game is spent trying to fix a bizarre machine.

This game had several implementation issues, including fatally crashing the game when looking up various topics in the manual.

The puzzles in this game are fiddly. I have a distaste for machinery puzzles, but those who enjoy them will like this game.

The writing is descriptive, and though the first part was bland, I loved the ending, so I'm giving this 2 stars.

A nice one-roomer, October 31, 2007

A single large one-room puzzle about a very complicated machine, with some impressive parser tricks. Too focused on implementation and technology and not enough on being actually fun. Amusing ending sequence.
