Viv Dunstan's IFComp 2022 musings

A Matter of Heist Urgency by FLACRabbit

Fancied a quick parser game next, and this fitted the bill very nicely. You play a horse with superpowers, though in disguise, who has to solve the puzzle of missing crown jewels.

It’s short, sweet, but very, very funny, nicely written, and well implemented. I laughed so much throughout this. I like how the game is organised into a series of scenes, which also lets the player have a natural break from the somewhat frenetic action.

There are hints in game though no walkthrough, but I rattled on through just fine. There are also a number of combat sequences, which were fun to play, and amusingly written.

I just enjoyed that immensely. Short and sweet, and very funny.

Thanks to the author!
