Are you supposed to put the red tower into the lava? Why can’t I move the golden shield on the bottom (from game start)


Is there another ending besides this?

I like it, i find the minidump. I hope to see a couple more levels in a while… ;)


I don’t where do you get this kind of ideas, it takes around an hour and 20 minutes to find the minidump, you did it again, I’m still insulting you XD (exists insulting???) I’m starting to like these games of “lets see what you do”.

I will visit tig more often, “Papal go-kart in vegas” makes my imagination explode with ideas.

Same happened with “third world magic soldiers”.


ithamore thanks for the spoiler uh….

anyway that’s not the end, you’re supposed to find the minilog


kinda short, but cool ^^


I got Two of the green things


@Aslai: yeah, it happened to me once…it’s a bug I couldn’t fix at the time of the competition :)


Look at you,
you don’t find what you wish
Look at you again,
you wish what you find

They asked me for my help
but it was not for them

I’ll help you instead.


how do u beat it i mean seriously i can’t do anything….. -.- ><


Raxel:

Try starting by putting the egg near the lava pool. If you didn’t find the egg, try putting the large machine over the broken ground… hope that keeps you going!


is there an alternate ending to the minidump?


I have this wierd monster thing. A comination of the two monsters!
I have got to bars in the yllow river!!
WhatNext???


Never mind!

aaaaah i cant find the minidump thingy


You should put this one on Kongregate, and ask if they can attach a card or badge to it…

I love these kind of puzzle games. Reminds me of ‘Escape the room’.


How the hell do you get past the “SYSTEM CORE DUMPED” screen?


HELP! I Made The 64 Thing And Now Im Stuck!!


Liking the Tyrian style sprites (or I assume they are)


pyro-dude: they are not Tyrian-style, they ARE the Tyrian sprites (slightly modified, in some cases). :)


XD :( >:( is what this game says to me


What is the deal with minidump, I was able to get it, but most of the stuff aside from the poem is unknown.


That was kinda hard, I only got it because I cheated.

This game can only be played here to get the true ending, I don’t think I spoil too much by saying that because you still need to know what must be done.


I went allmost deaf in the edn. I had my headphones on and volume at max. >.< hurt


I got three of the evolved green thingies.


Hello!
Very Interesting post! Thank you for such interesting resource!
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I’v just started to learn this language ;)
See you!
Your, Raiul Baztepo


so… I’ve found the poem. where do I go from here?


“unvalid write access on stack?”


also, you spelled verdict as “veredict”


how can i get more of these monsters?


I got the glowing metal egg thing and a green monster and 3 things I can put in the yellow stuff to make em glow…..I need a hint.


Aw I think I won I got to the
SYSTEM CORE DUMPED

“LAST ERROR IN STACK:

“UNVALID WRITE ACCESS TO LOCATION

message with the picture of something flashing in the background did I win???


wth?

k this is my story, where di i go wrong?

i smashed the cracked floor
i melted the broken thing and the big machine in the lava pit
i put them in the mold to make more metal things
i hatch the egg
i ‘cook’ the egg scraps
i feed it to the bug dude
i put the evolved guy on the green stuff
i put the metal ball in the machine
i put the bug in the machine….

i put the ball into the yellow

all that error nonsense comes up!!

WTH?!?!?


I think that flashing epileptic seziere error part suppose to say something but i’m not seeing it..that minidump is there..but there sure is no clear clue on where it is I can say that much..heh


Ok I found the minidump, but I havent debugged these ever so I can’t get my dumpchk working with the dump…

Well, at least I found it, Yay \o/


–WARNING, SPOILER–
I don’t understand.
I went to http://www.ludomancy.com/minidump.log
but now what?


when i drop the 64 ball in the yellow stream is that the end???????

aaaa

is that the ending the error screen?


is there a different ending? please tell


Not really @name :)


So after getting the minidump with the poem yo can’t do anything more?


No… not in this version


¿And where I can find a full version?


i got the to the black screen with writing after i dumped the 64 ball in the yellow, changed green

is that the end????

what do i do next???


wat is a mini dump??

i took a screen shot it just shows green grass blue water


Does “invalid write access to location 0xBADCODE64″ mean we have to check this website with a memory editor and see what’s at the address 0xbadc0de64? I know that’s one too many characters for a 64 bit system, but some of the first posts had said it was “OXBADCODE4″, and that would fit within those constraints.


I found the
“Look at you,
you don’t find what you wish
Look at you again,
you wish what you find

They asked me for my help
but it was not for them

I’ll help you instead.”
in the minidump.log
is the end?


I tried to search the memory in this page when the 0xbadc0de64 is being displayed, but I couldn’t find anything. But probably I didn’t do things right =(


Hmm…

(Spoiler)
I saved the minidump as a .bat file, then when I open it it runs down a lists of commands and beeps at me… then creates a file where I saved it called ‘<<3′

Somewhat confused…


actually scratch that; a print screen revealed that they were all errors… *smack head*


lol i say some page of videogames just to complete the thingy…
Hey,i got a wird monster like medusa and now i am stucked HELP!


Heeeeey
I got the big green 64 ball. what i do now ? (l0l, sounds like music ! “IIII GOOOOT THE BIIIIIIG GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN BALL, SO WHAAAT THAT I DOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW” okay, i stop)


Look at you,
you don’t find what you wish
Look at you again,
you wish what you find

They asked me for my help
but it was not for them

I’ll help you instead.

What now?


I’m guessing there is no ending since no one out of ALL the people that have comment has actually gotten past minidump.log


were is the mini dump i was thinking of a really small dump on the screen
