Closed
NB264

I'm not as active here as I used to be and most people probably don't know/remember me, but in my youth I was somewhat known for making these weird not-a-puzzles where you had to play a game in order to start a puzzle train... anyway... a bit smaller train this year, no hidden bonuses, no weird stuff. 10 games, 3 of them a freebie. You have until the 28th of June.

  1. Freebie
  2. Download and play this little buggy gem in order to start the puzzletrain.
  3. Have fun and do not cheat!
  4. another freebie
  5. and yet another
  6. 27th is my sg cakeday frebie

FAQ:

  • Q: There's no way I'm going to download something from an unknow source.
    A: Ok, fine by me.

  • Q: What is my goal in the game?
    A: Oh, yeah, to reach SG fame of 30. Sorry about that... Try not to die.

  • Q: How do I play this thing?
    A: Use arrow keys and space/enter.

  • Q: Can I add you on steam just to ask something...
    A: I'd prefer if you don't.

  • Q: What if I do not comment?
    A: I'll blacklist you from future giveaways.

  • Q: Is there a level requirement?
    A: I think you are safe with level 2.. and it's for two weeks during the sales, so anyone can get to lvl 2.

  • Q: How many people got to the very end of this?
    A: 6 for now...

  • Q: I have a question not mentioned here
    A: Write it down, write it down...

Wait... how did you get a special rule approved when the staff just annouced a few days ago that they don't approve special rules anymore ?

Did not know of that, as I said, I'm not here daily... but read the rule as "comment or die in the blacklist" and do not worry about me.

Nah, Ićm too old to care, I'll just blacklist everyone who does not follow my lead, regardless of support acknowledging the rules or not. Yay!

Only special rules that may need re-roll requests are not allowed.

You are fine with your blacklist rule, as you alone are incharge of your blacklists.

Support just wants less work :P

Oh, an interesting game. XD It seems I'm terrible at living, though. I completely lose track of time and end up dead trying to fulfill the most basic of needs.

The game doesn't work for me. It launches OK but the GUI is completely unresponsive.

Hey, look at that! I feel foolish now.

Is there any indication of time of day? It keeps insisting that I go to work when I want to sleep.

It's mentioned in the first message in the game. A day has 5 moves. First is always to go to work (that was supposed to be up to you, and you could be late or even get fired and become homeless, but I ran out of time so the work is a must now)

Hi again :)
...are you sure the code from this game works? Or maybe I put it in the wrong place?

Any hints for Q4 in Puzzle 3? Does it relate to a particular book?

Hi NB264. A question, does your game work under windows xp? I get an error :/
(something about InitOnceExecuteOnce in KERNELL32.dll)

I don't know. It should work under xp/7/8.x but I can not make any guarantees.

Happy Birthday, nerd. I'll always remember you as a guy who got me a giftable copy of Wolfenstein 2010 for a bundle game.

You were lucky to get it for a bundled game, as I actually considered giving it for free :P
