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

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.

I have tried candies.aniwey.net twice now and both times I got like a shitload of lollipops but nothing else happened?

You currently have 21840123.4 mlp. <--- this isn't fun anymore

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

fwiw after hell the game was over pretty quickly

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?

Oh man, not played that for yeeeeeeeeeears. Might give it a go, I've probably forgotten all the puzzles.

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
― snapchats and tattoos (c sharp major), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 23:14 (ten years ago) link
two other kinda fun variations on the roguelike i guess: four scepters: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5708192/LD26/index.htmltoo much loot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11221318/TooMuchLoot/TooMuchLoot.html

romcheck seems really novel and awesome at first but is impossible to play after like 15 sec

nvm this is dope

wow rom check is awesome

you must escape ultimately freaked me out and i had to quit
― steening in your HOOSless carriage (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 28 May 2013 04:32 (ten years ago) link
yeah, i couldn't handle that too well eitheri keep getting to level 18 or rom check and dying.
― klaus dingeldore's rhinelander monkey keeper father (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 28 May 2013 04:35 (ten years ago) link
rom check ending is delightful
― siouxsan sarandon (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 28 May 2013 06:21 (ten years ago) link
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).

Don't think I stand a chance getting to the end of romcheck, but I like it a lot for the brief bursts I can manage.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 28 May 2013 13:04 (ten years ago) link
yeah its a blast

xxp it's amazing how the 'muscle' memory for games works. Even after all this time, I didn't even have to consciously think 'oh this is asteroids so I guess I do this'.
― go cray cray on my lobster soufflé (snoball), Wednesday, 29 May 2013 07:57 (ten years ago) link
yeah i sort of can't imagine losing any of the skill set necessary to succeed in rom check fail
this is kind of tragic

It reminded me of the time I played Galaxian recently, and despite not having played it for ~25 years I was wiping out those swooping invaders like a champ after about 30 seconds.

This is sort of like Candy Box but with a very different tone: http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/
I actually like it better than CB but it lacks the surprise element.

Is the game over after the 4th area? It seems to restart.
― oxygenating our wombspace (abanana), Saturday, 15 June 2013 13:31 (ten years ago) link
I had a go at continuing on to see if anything had changed, but I think you 'win', or at least finish, when you lift off.

yeah that was annoying bcz I still hadn't uncovered the entire map yet and it was just like "nope sorry you win game over"
