Np. I also recommend (ab)using save/restore so you can try different tactics w/o losing your potion stash each time.

just beat the last two levels after hell, really might give this thing up soon, as there was just no sense of payoff or reward for either of those, and i can't really see any way of tackling the next one
OTOH any game that still has me muttering about it after 2-3 days is probably doing something right
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 6 May 2013 05:01 (ten years ago) link
er, just "two levels after hell," not "last." unfortunately.
Really starting to wonder if i'm missing some gear. The two bottom slots in the third column remain empty and I haven't gotten anything new since the castle keep, I think.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 6 May 2013 05:02 (ten years ago) link
nah, those slots never fill up i'm afraid
― chilli, Monday, 6 May 2013 05:56 (ten years ago) link
sure they do

wait so are all the boards from the dragon on basically invulnerability + teleport + seed, repeat?
because I'm getting pissed off with the garden. do i just need to repeat these dumb steps again?

never mind, I just needed to get back inside my shell a bit

yo what game are you all going on about?

so I got to the developer once in the developper's computer, but every other time I die without a chance after maybe 30 seconds or so. is there some method to this madness, or is it just random whether you make it through?
― Euler, Monday, 6 May 2013 16:50 (ten years ago) link
ok ignore me again, "figured" this out
― Euler, Monday, 6 May 2013 17:29 (ten years ago) link

i got a sword of randomness from the level 5 bug at the end of the game, the one time i was able to afford it. it is quite random. every time i encounter an enemy it adjusts my and their health to basically whatever number. also my player's 'sprite' changes to random characters or nothing at all. i can no longer beat the dev, something i was able to do pretty easily before getting this dumb sword, i just die instantly now. plus at the end of each quest my health is some random number so it takes a long time to recharge.
in summary, i am still enjoying this stupid game somehow.

*not the devil in hell dev, the developer dev. when i press the key it gives him like infinite hp and me 0

uh, spoilers
Gave up happily after the dragon

I had to google how to beat dev computer. It's totally ridic and I don't understand how anyone is supposed to infer or guess how to do it w/o someone else telling them.
― siouxsan sarandon (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 6 May 2013 20:52 (ten years ago) link
i still don't get how to beat the developpers (sic) garden. i realize you're supposed to use the dragon strategy and just use invulnerability/teleport/seed, but as soon as i start the level (and before i can move the mouse from the start button to the invulnerability button) the first flower lowers my HP down to 4, and then i die. ?
― your holiness, we have an official energy drink (Z S), Monday, 6 May 2013 20:55 (ten years ago) link
It drops to 4 no matter what you do; you shouldn't actually die til you hit one of the monsters at the end and you use the inv potion like a second before you reach them and then teleport and seed like a second before it runs out
― siouxsan sarandon (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 6 May 2013 20:57 (ten years ago) link
Twice I have reached 0 hp at the exact same moment as the devil. screw you, game.
(I'm assuming that beating the devil is the last part of Hell but I guess if I ever manage it I'll be like YEAAAHHH and then another banshee will fly at my face and wipe me out)
I am srsly bad at this game, I bet I have like 3-4x the total hitpoints some people here had when they beat hell, but nope. so other people's distress at later levels probably suggests I should just give up now

I ended up using turtle to beat the garden fwiw, turtle plus teleport
― Euler, Monday, 6 May 2013 20:58 (ten years ago) link
ok ok. it was weird, the first time i beat the castle stairs i didn't get the cauldron or the candy converter, but they showed up after the second time. now it's dragon fun zone.

yeah, now that i'm at hell i'm not sure how much further i want to go with this, too bad you can't get better healing potions, because eating candy gives you almost no HP now
― Nhex, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 19:14 (ten years ago) link
fwiw after hell the game was over pretty quickly
― Euler, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 19:17 (ten years ago) link
Also feel like the "Frog Fractions" expansiveness/unpredictability has faded a bit, though that's enhanced it as a parody of RPGs and old-school BBS door-game good times. At first it seemed really open-ended, like, oh, there's nothing on the screen, now I have the candy salesman! Now there's a quest mode! Now I'm farming resources! But all those things start to lock together as an actual grinding mechanic, and while there may be more surprises around the corner, there hasn't been anything really crucial in a while,
100% agree with this. like i said before, though, it provides plenty of entertainment for a free text-based game.
now my question is...what OTHER Free Online (in-browser or downloadable)Games are there?

the ludum dare 48-hour indie game making challenger just happened recently, so there are a bunch of interesting little free online (in-browser or downloadable) games knocking around. here is one about providing for your family: http://jonathanwhiting.com/ld/26/
here is a non-ludum dare indie game that i like, it is a roguelike, i guess, about being stranded naked in an icy waste and trying not to freeze to death: http://humbit.com/rogue/afsahr-v1.2/play.html

Wait, it has an ending? I'm so used to games like Space Invaders, Asteroids, and the like not having an ending that I didn't bother playing after I started to get bored (I started to work out a strategy for each combination of player ship, enemy and level, and started to get bored).
