Editorial Reviews

Baf's Guide


A one-room gadget game involving an oak tree and an automatic tennis ball launcher. Very short and plotless but nicely implemented. A good demonstration of the use of indistinguishable objects in Inform.

-- Carl Muckenhoupt

[...] There's a reason why you have no idea what's going on - nothing is. This is a one-location game, containing one relatively straightforward puzzle, and no plot. [...] (Alistair G. Thomas)

Nice, simple game, July 21, 2009
Although there is not much to the game, it was rather interesting, and kept me entertained for a few minutes. I had no trouble at all with the vocabulary.

Dual Transform, by Andrew Plotkin
This game takes place in a single room — but not always the same one. The room contains just one item, but again, there's more to it than that. Experiment and enjoy.
