I managed to get the chalice (and finish the game) without even coming across any of the gems I was told were in my pocket at the end. Is this game finished? Or a bit buggy?

It had some potential, but it didn't feel as polished as the excellent Space Scums.

This a charming pixel art game, but I don't really know how to get past the wall. Anyway this is good. 3/5 ok

Hey man! Glad you like the game so far. Currently working on Space Scums 2! Haha.

It seems like you're stuck on the beginning part of the game, as you only have the yek and the efink. On screen D3 you can enter a town called Star Dune, where a wishing well is found. Perhaps if you looked inside you could find yourself some stuff, as well as take a closer look at that epor ;)

Hope ya find the chalice! Keep playin my man.

I am loving the layout and simple puzzles so far. However, I'm stuck and wonder if the game is complete. There are things I'm not sure about, like location names with codes after them, such as "Parthenon E7" and "Underground D1." They look like mapping guides, maybe used as you built the game, as other rooms don't have them. And sometimes it says "I can't see that" when you try to look at something right there, like the bed in Mark's house, or the leader in the Lizardfolk village. Also, it might be good to have the tavern room say, "You see a man in green and a man in yellow," or something because if you try to talk to the 2 men, it says "I can't see that." I've been everywhere but so far only have the yek noteleks and the efink (backwards to avoid spoiling it for other players). I can't see any other place to go. Can you give me a hint? This is fun! I love the illustrations.

I have dabbled a bit with this and enjoyed the low-tech illustrations! Creative so far. I look forward to exploring deeper with the download file. I will get back to you with ratings, but thanks for your creativity! Keep making these cool old-school games.
