I played these games a few years back and I loved them. Something about the emptiness feeling just makes me feel weird.

saniec, that puzzle is because in Rock, Paper, Scissors, paper beats rock. I agree completely about the pixel-hunting, however.

Well, I never did get the egg, but I finally got out of that hell-hole town! Firefox, you need to organize your "walkthrough" better. It's WAY too confusing to try and follow. I never could find the last three birds! Therefore, I never got the stupid egg and couldn't free that chained guy.

Something's wrong. I tried following firefox12's instructions, but they didn't work most of the time. I still can't get the supposed golden egg, I can't get the additional puzzle pieces, etc. This game is too hard!

This is the worst sort of point and click. Puzzles that don't make sense (the rock/rolled paper) and pixel hunting for everything. I feel bad for the guy who finished it first, and I'll assume everyone after that guy used his walkthrough.

I was happy I read the warnings about things being really hard to find before I got started. It helped make it less annoying. I had to resort to the walkthrough half way in, however. Meh, 3/5

I would have appreciated knowing that clicking on the machine would mean leaving the town whether you'd finished everything or not. I had to go back and do everything again to solve the main puzzle then leave the town a second time. Made the little guy disappearing a bit of an anti-climax. Maybe a 'are you sure you want to leave before solving the puzzle?' when you click on the bridge, then a second click to proceed. Other than that it was an entertaining game. I liked the characters, the eerie background noise and the lack of colour. Well done.

What the hell is with all the birds? o.O On a constructive note, it might help if some of the items, like coins, strings, hooks... stood out a bit more. It seems as though unless you know what you're looking for, it's nearly impossible to figure out without a walkthrough.

How was I supposed to know the placement for the Pacman things? I just kinda accidentally solved it while playing with it. >.>

wow! u don't find this sort of atmosphere in most games! It made me feel uncertain and nervous, but I still found it thoroughly entertaining! 5/5 I love his games!

being able to increase the resolution of the game in firefox would have been nice but the game stays the same size and the rest of the website zooms in =/

I had to go see a walkthrough to finish this game! the squiggles mad it too difficult for me so i put 2/5 but sinc i dont want to be harsh i put 3/5 its pretty fair to me!

It's trivial to make games like these difficult without any rhyme or reason; in my book, style is a poor substitute for skill.

sometimes in this game the things doesn't make any sense at all!
for example the puzzle? it doesn't give you any clue what to do. or if it does i couldn't find it.
or the plate. it could belong to any where like the pedestall in the armory or the plate near it. if he fix these problems then the games are good. oh i forgot. this game is more to be damn lucky than to be smart

I can't call this a bad game, but I agree with DropkickMurphy. I took that stupid screwdriver to all the screws I could find and ended up needing the walkthrough to figure out what to do with it. I also can't stand the pixel-by-pixel hunt. Puzzles should be more about thinking and working out solutions, not making my eyes bleed by hovering slowly over every atom-sized squiggle. I enjoyed myself (kinda) and see potential in the idea, but the exectution leaves something to be desired.
Also, the "secret puzzle" solution is probably one of the worst aspects of the game. It makes no sense whatsoever and doesn't really solve a mystery at all.
I will check out the sequel(s) to see if maybe it gets better or connects in someway, but i'm not holding my breath.
2/5
