The Game That Takes Place on a Cruise Ship

Squinky · 03-14-2006, 07:53 AM

Well, folks, I've just released The Game That Takes Place on a Cruise Ship. Check it out and play it to your heart's content, especially if you're a big fan of Cubert Badbone and my other creations. (And even if you aren't, well, check it out anyway!)

Trumgottist · 03-14-2006, 12:14 PM

And it's a good game, too!

Disclaimer: I was a beta tester of TGTTPOACS.

Better or worse than Frasse and the Peas of Kejick?

(I don't expect you to answer that)

Trumgottist · 03-14-2006, 12:17 PM

Play both!

Karmillo · 03-14-2006, 12:39 PM

Hey wait a minute, isnt squinky and trumgot the 2 people who posted something exactly the same word from word?

*dun dun dun*

Squinky · 03-14-2006, 03:09 PM

Yes, and TGTTPOACS and Frasse are the same game.

Another shocking twist!

Never played your other games Squinks, but I'm downloading this one now.

(PS: I was annoyed that before the game was available that there were no screenshots available for the game anyay... er, well, at least none that I could find...)

Squinky · 03-14-2006, 11:08 PM

Yeah, I purposely didn't release very much promotional material for the game because, well, would you rather I spent my time working on the game, or taking screenshots?

After a considerable diet of heavy, solemn, serious, Quest/Adventures, “The Game that takes place on a Cruise Ship (TGttpoaCS)” is a breath of fresh air.
It’s a funny even frivolous game featuring the adventures of a young lady, Gertrude Zzyrgenhymer, and her free trip on board the ‘luxury’ cruise ship S.S. Asylum.

A refreshing innovation to this original humorous game is the fact that there are not simply 4 endings, but 4 distinctly different routes, each one ending in a full zany end sequence ... so this is really 4 separate games (almost) rolled into one!

The puzzles are easy, but still can cause some head scratching (one or two DID even with experienced beta-testers!)

If needed/wanted, the first half of a very detailed walkthrough is posted on http://www.gamesover.com/walkthrough...GreenWT_1A.htm.
The full walkthrough will replace this in 2 to 3 days time.

ADDENDUM :-
Of course I forgot to mention that the game is freeware and its whole download size is only 20 MB.

Delightful.

Len Green · 03-20-2006, 02:06 PM

FINITO.

It took rather longer than anticipated, due to the (partial) interlocking of the 4 different routes/games/endings!

I'm enjoying it immensely; the one (almost inherent) problem is that the first part (which I'm playing now) feels very directionless. I literally have nothing to do; now I've explored the ship, solved a few puzzles and got lots of inventory it seems I have nowhere left to explore or goals to attain. Other than that, this is great fun; funky soundtrack, appealing cartoon graphics, funny touches. Not the most inspired name for a game ever conceived, though.

Squinky · 03-30-2006, 12:09 PM

Are you SURE you've been everywhere?

Spoiler:
In particular, have you cheered up that reclusive figure standing on the edge of the ship? If so, you'll have goals to attain soon enough.
