My first completed game on Picotron! It's a text adventure game with graphics. It's easy and doesn't take long to complete.
It was mainly for fun; I love text adventure games like those by Bob Withers & Stephen O'Dea (Trekboer, Black Sanctum, etc.).
If you type climb in the locked cell at the beginning of the game you end up in a blue room with a lever on the wall. there's no indication that there was an opening in the ceiling, so I'm guessing this is a bug. I then wandered around the maze and in the transporter room I typed climb again and ended up in the blue room. It also looks like the game could use a bit more verbose responses when you do things. For example, in the blue room I use the commands USE LEVER and the game doesn't give me any feedback. In text adventures, the more feedback you can give the player the better. With a bit of polishing, I think this game could be a winner.
Oh, there's definitely a mistake! This needs to be fixed! I was too quick to post it here; I should have taken the time to look through it to see if there were any possible errors. It's true, as you said, I could have done a lot more tweaking to make the game much more enjoyable to play. When I have time, I'll work on improving this. Thanks for your comment! :-)
I'll let you know when there's an update here.
