Push / attack with a sword :: po-TAY-to / po-TAH-to

Ah, you mean the one that really obviously looks like it’s supposed to be the one you’re meant to push, but which does nothing when pushed from any direction…

(It turns out you don’t so much have to push it so much as repeatedly attack it with a sword.)

Hint:
Go right from the NPC that gives you ability to open doors, through the locked door.

Further hint:
Go to the right of that new area.

Flat out spoiler:It’s the rock near the tree with the red fruit, at the far lower right.

Two of my worlds collide, for years i’ve read boingboing every day, and a lot of my spare hours over the last 3 years have involved learnign the incredible haxe language (www.haxe.org) which is another creation of the genius of Nicholas Cannasse. which is pretty certainly what is used to create this game.

He, reminds me of the first pages of Chris Ware’s ‘Acme Novelty Library #20′…

BoingBoing has brought Dropbox to its knees. You can still get the game from GitHub though. (Link provided above)

You forget to mention that it was made in only 48h during the Ludum Dare challenge:

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-24/?action=preview&uid=8497

From that you can check the source code or download the game (unzip and open ld24.html).

The Dropbox link is “509″-ed, is there a video of gameplay anywhere so I can see what it looks like in motion?

I think this might be new… I host all my blog images on Dropbox and previously I’ve done photo liveblogs through their public hosting. Interesting.

Turns out Dropbox has download limits…

Woo! Go Cannasse! FYI, that guy is also the main contributor to the best programming language on Earth, Haxe: http://www.haxe.org/ It makes games like his significantly easier to develop and scale.

too buggy to be enjoyable

I think that’s the “neat historical humor.”

augh, when you restore from save it sometimes forgets achievements with no way to get them again. The one I keep losing and can’t get back: 256 colour. Nice little game but too buggy to be enjoyable.

I’m jammed up with no keys – where’s the rock to push?
