QBik is a square. He live's in his own Tiny World with Three rooms and soda-addicted Triangle. The only hint for his world being a part of something bigger is a single window. Will you open it?

A to move left, D to move right, S to save, L to load.

Known Bugs:
-Crashes sometimes when you click on an empty space or an object.
-Crash on loading game on windows(due to pickle)
-Input lags when walking and moving mouse at the same time.

Sorry about the input lag, guys. I'm really-really sorry. It has something to do with the way I handeled events, and I'm not sure if it's not against the rules to fix the bug and send the game again.

Ah, forgot to mention - Escape to exit, S to save, L to load.

Crashed a few times but I like the art! Why is Triangle such a jerk? :P

He's not a jerk. Originally I planned him to be sad, but failed in drawing, so now he looks evil. He's just to addict to soda.

Nice puzzle, had me thinking. Liked the sketchpad artwork. Had some character movement glitches that took a little away from the fun though. Overall I liked it, good work.

The character stops moving randomly and it's frustrating :c When I give the soda to the triangle nothing happens :s btw, i love the art :)

You have to click on things again to grab your reward.

couldn't run this on my linux machine under wine: pygame.error: DDraw created surface with wrong pitch

Misaka42author23 Apr 2012, 18:10

For linux you could run it from source. The only dependencies are python2 and python2-pygame

btw, works well if I set my winearch to 32bit. at least for me.

Like the art style. Not a bad game.

I agree with previous comments. The "lag" in movement is really annoying. I like the drawn art and recorded audio :)

Is the art in the game really hand drawn? Fantastic! I wish I could play, but don't have access to a Windows machine.

*I'm posting this on all non-browser games I bring up in an attempt to encourage folks to make browser games next time around. Do not take it personally.*

When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.

Please consider making a browser game next time.

Not bad! Movement was wonky sometimes, but I beat it. And it wasn't bad like you said. I love the art style. Good job :-)

I feel stupid now, but at first I didnt understood I had to be right in front of things to activate them. I tried again only because I read comments... I'm glad because this little adventure game worth it, the artworks are cool. I only wish you could change mr triangle face when I give him soda... :)
