It's unfinished. Read the "not ready" branches; those are finished. Made in Twine, so it should be playable in just about any browser.

I swear, there aren't that many earthquakes where I live.

I'm from Alaska. Even big earthquakes don't really scare me. Our buildings are built for them, so minimal damage occurs. It was just the first thing I thought of and could easily implement before going to work. xD

So meta!

Thank you for the kind words, folks. :D

fcpfoof: No, I didn't. xD But I definitely wasn't prepared due to other obligations.

It's sad you weren't able to finish it, would have been interested to see more. :)

I enjoy the spirit of the game -- but like others, I wish there were more of it. Still, it's good that you entered and what is there is definately fun to play through. Other things get in the way of completing, I completely understand and was nearly in that position myself. Can we expect a post-compo release maybe?
hissssssssss26 Aug 2014, 02:42
Definitely has a good mood to it. It's very encouraging and heartfelt.

I don't know if I'll do a post-compo release. I feel like it would be appropriate; I wanted to have a whole bunch of things crop up during the game -- significant other wants to go to a movie, work calls, etc. Basically, have other areas of life all coming down on you while trying to Ludum Dare. More meta! :3

a really cool idea, with the potential of being an introductory game to Ludum Dare and/or twine.

Hmm. Introductory Ludum Dare game. You know, I hadn't actually thought about that.

Cool concept, too bad my story ended quickly :D
Sanguine27 Aug 2014, 16:08
It would be cool to see a post-compo version of this game as a motivation for other game devs for the next Ludum Dare :)

Your words are so smooth, it touches my heart (LOL I DONT KNOW HOW TO COMPLIMENT WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!!), but I wished you had finished it, would like to see more of it! ^^

Very cool idea. I'd love to see a more completed version of it.
Ofursnati29 Aug 2014, 12:05
Fun and simple. love it.

With the idea of it being an introduction to Ludum Dare game, I probably will continue it. It won't go the original direction I planned, though. xD

Interesting start. I like how you replace the text for multiple "no not reallys" with some humor. I kinda wish the end was something positive instead of earthquakes :D

I had a nice chuckle. Good use of Twine.

Hi there. Real shame you didn't have time to finish - in a self-referential way, I suppose you should have not finished deliberately. Great promotional piece for LD!

But... but how is my snake? D:
(quite meta, clearly unfinished; not that there are many earthquakes in my area... ^^")

EARTHQUAKE!!!
Short game, nice writing. Would have been great to be able to play a more complete version. Keep at it, this should be the official pre-Ludum Dare game! Make it happen!!

Would've liked to see more, but it was an interesting experience.

Y know, it was a great sounding board for all my problems. It got me out of depression. (Just kidding, great game btw. Which hang out in irc worked)

IF YOU SAY CROWBEAK THREE TIMES WHILE PLAYING THIS GAME IN THE MIRROR THERE IS AN EARTHQUAKE AND CROWBEAK CLIMBS OUT OF THE GROUND AND MAKES YOU A CUP OF TEA
