Deep Chalk
With Deep Chalk I'm not sure if I'm playing a point'n'click game or immersing myself in a piece of modern art. And add in some Boards Of Canada esque 'music' and a few unusual controls (it's not just point'n'click) and you get something truly unusual, different and challenging, yet somehow serene. Nice. I can't wait to see what else the creator, Zack Stone, comes up with.

chasing them around only to have them disappear is getting quite irritating

I agree, LK... looks like they should be guided as in the arrowed pattern..?

I don't understand *how* to "play with the hooks". I've tried clicking, and mousing over them and everything possible, and they sometimes move a little bit, but mostly they don't respond at all. I'm really not understanding the controls for this game, and have only gotten to this stage (with the drawbridge) due to things responding to heavy use of the tab key.

:
wow, don't worry Ellers, I'm having a harder time than you in the first level :(


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
I can't activate that button on the back of the post...I've moved some of the hooks and knocked over 2 cups of liquid, and that's it...


suggestions? you don't have to give it right out

This is a great game! But too short. I love the music as well.

Comment 27, Wednesday, April 23rd 2008 10:54:05 PM

Leezeo

please

Comment 28, Wednesday, April 23rd 2008 10:55:59 PM

Ahoytheship

:
Yes, Corona, a nudge for my stupid self would be great. I can't even get past level 1 :( See my above post for what I have managed thus far...

:
finished the draw bridge

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
you first have to find the little 'pixel dots' hidden around the screen. 5 'pixel dots'. Move the diamond to the door and up to the drawbridge. you can see on the three hanging hooks, on the branch there are cut marks. reading from left to right: 1 mark, 3 mark, 2 mark. meaning, play with the far left first, then the far right, and finally the middle. take a ride on the sky tram. "and now that the show is over..."

This is actually a great concept, black and white done good! Hopefully the next installment is gonna come out soon as this was too short, just whetted my appetite :D...I wonder where the story is gonna take us. Where did that tram go? To rainbow land? lol Can't wait to play more. And the music resulting in what we choose to do is kinda neat. Well, Mr. Stone, I guess you're another game author to watch out for. Bravo!
