  2. Such a funny, cheeky game! Utterly pointless, but entertaining nonetheless.

  3. A decent platformer, worth playing, though it does think it's funnier than it is and it really feels like the "prank" thing was thought of after the fact to avoid writing an ending. Still, I enjoyed this one.

  4. Falls into the "annoying" category, to be honest....

  5. That was fun. Oddly it kept my attention.

  6. Did anyone buy the map?
    By that time I had no need to deal with a scammir.
    So I finished with a diamond 🔹 at least.

    My impression was that you need the map? Not as a navigational aid, for a different purpose. But there may be more than one path to completion, of course.

  8. I never bought the map (only had 10 gold), and never saw the diamond?

  10. I never found the indigo door, and I never got to the blue key. I don't know if that's on purpose.

    I sold the diamond for 99 gold.
    Found the shop with the map worth 99 gold. I thought spending all my money to know the place I I had just explored without the map was just reckless, so I decided to take a walk to see if I really needed that map.
    Then, the red key shop appeared. Bought the key for 10gold. Finished tthe game.

    What would have happened if I had decided to spend all my gold for the map just before discovering the red key shop?

  11. BTW although some parts made no sense, I found the comedy in it. Entertaining, kinda old-fashioned, fun.

  12. I absolutely detest anyone that pranks,
    if they cause physical or emotional harm.

    You're guaranteed to be able to acquire the blue key, which you can sell to buy the red key

    Also, you're able to sell *back* the map in any case

    The map was amazing, unbelievably helpful for navigation, incredibly aesthetically pleasing, very worthwhile purchase, definitely fairly priced, highly recommend, gems are overrated anyway!

    I loved this! Every twist made me laugh, I didn't feel like the game thought highly of itself because it was constantly making fun of itself, and it didn't last long enough for anything to get annoying. I honestly thought the ending was premeditated and very fitting. Anyway, wouldn't you rather play a free web game about getting scammed and pranked than get scammed and pranked in real life?

  15. I didn't buy the map, and never saw a diamond. I may have to play that again.
