I flunked because how could I not bring Biscuit home with me? He's such a good doggo and my best friend in the entire universe. I'm not trying against because Biscuit and I have adventures to go on...But I suppose that could include trying again. ;)
This was one of the first series we used to teach our kids to read, and they loved it. The Biscuit series gets ridiculously great reviews, and there are tons of them.
I ended up married to a cow. And I liked that outcome enough that I didn’t give it another go. 🐄
In school, the closest I came to flunking anything was Algebra II. In my post-postgrad life (that’s a story for another day) I very nearly failed Java, but for a couple of helpful classmates, and a professor, who took pity on me.
Since then, I have reason to think that I have dyscalculia, which would explain why I had such a hard time in those two classes.
As for aliens, it has to be Mork. No question whatsoever. 🥚
Lol, I like that you were happy with that outcome, Jackie. When I first designed it, I thought it would be my end game as well. It sounds like the premise for a new intergalactic dating show.
Ahh, I just looked up what “dyscalculia” is and yeah, that would make sense. I went to Emerson College, and based on our collective math skills, I bet many of us have that, too.
Mork is great! I love an alien with a catchphrase.
This is such weird timing, as I shared the opening of my most popular novella in my Substack a few minutes ago, and let's just say the theme is very similar ... though the tone of yours was much cheerier, despite me being zapped! Even weirder is that I linked from my post to a playable version of the novella that I worked on many years ago. Great minds obviously think alike!
THIEF! Haha, I wondered how many people would choose that option. But you're an alien already flunking, with a less than stellar track record, so it's not an unlikely outcome. 👽
You're not alone, Karl. The first time I playtested, I chose that option and got caught, lol. It's like they say, "Cheaters never win, though it is cool to steal from puny humans." 😂
oh, and I played the other game and it was hilarious because my dad had major printer problems this week. Even beyond me. I told him to call Canon. He’s been calling them practically every day. 🤣 To be fair, though, it is an expensive large format printer. I’m not sure if he ever got it fixed.
Ha, the game was “ripped from the headlines.” I hope he did fix his printer.
Thank you for playing! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. There are a lot of great fantasy and sci-fi games in this year’s competition I think you might enjoy: https://ifcomp.org
Completed the mission on my first try. Then as usual tried every outcome. The main character is quite a failure, succeeding almost seems out of character, but he has to win sometime.
Never flunked or came close to flunking, but I did drop/transfer out of some classes, French in middle school and ASL in college. I'm not good with learning languages. Latin is the one example of a class I sucked at that I liked.
Sharing a home with someone is a big ask, you know what they say about having friends as roommates (not to). So honest answer would be none because I'd only want to share with family. But to try for the intended kind of answer, maybe Reuben from Lilo & Stitch the series because he's an expert sandwich maker which would be useful to have around. But the laziness could be annoying.
Looking forward to the new version of Fix Your Mother's Printer.
Thanks for playing, and congrats on thoroughly acing the test! You're a smarter alien than the main character, lol.
I can relate to your difficulty learning new languages. I'm just grateful I didn't grow up in a country where learning multiple languages is expected.
Aww, Reuben looks cute and I do like the idea of an alien sandwich artist! I love Lilo & Stitch, but I wouldn't want to live with chaotic Stitch under any circumstances. Maybe I'd live with Pleakley, just because I'm a huge Kevin McDonald fan.

Biscuit is named after the dog in a children's book series we used to read to our kids. He is a good pup. 🐶
What's the book series? I often buy books as presents for my nephews, so it's always good to have recommendations.
Here you go!

The "winning" ending is always the one where the player gets a dog companion for their adventures. 🐶

Your life together will be utterly perfect!

Catching up on ones I haven't played and I, too, ended up married to darling Betsy and immediately closed the tab. :)
They go to strange places, these games!
Whoops, I died in one click!

May your tentacles stay ever slippery. Zog.

I stayed laser focused, landed behind the barn, gave Biscuit a tentacle, and turned Betsy in for full credit! Time to celebrate!
Pour yourself a big tall glass of milk, Paul. You earned it! 👏🥛

The main character is a definite failure. He's flying through life by the seat of his... well, he has no pants.

If you get to a certain point you don't have to steal her... you'll have another option, but I'm not saying what. 😁
I respect your principled resistance.
