I really appreciate it.\r\rTo frokes: I intended that feeding and watering had not too much of affect so that the game is not too easy. The bug is due to the fact that the death screen is literally plastered over the top of the game. This means that all the timers continue in the background. If you die very near 6:00 then the death screen may change into the win screen."},{"author_name":"icedvariables","author_uid":"38518","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:24pm","epoch":1418062740,"text":"To moldfire and frokes: Sorry about that, I didn't realise until I submitted that I never stated the prices in the actual game!"},{"author_name":"icedvariables","author_uid":"38518","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:27pm","epoch":1418062920,"text":"Opps, I meant "To molfire and donan:""},{"author_name":"pjimmy","author_uid":"40339","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 8:01pm","epoch":1418068560,"text":"nice, very creepy"},{"author_name":"karol","author_uid":"45044","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 2:27am","epoch":1418091720,"text":"When the loading screen said "Connecting to camera", I was pretty expecting to see my face on the screen in a moment.

Play at your own risk.\r\nNote: After the wee intro thing, it can take several seconds to load.\r\n\r\nIn Extraterrestrial Confinement you play a scientist whose job is to watch over a creature locked up in your laboratory. Failing to do so will lead to your gruesome and bloody death.\r\n\r\nHow to play:\r\n\r\nTo win you have to be alive at 6:00 (the game starts at 1:00). You will see down the right side the monster's stats. The most important one is happiness - if the monster gets too unhappy then it will escape its chamber and tear you apart. Down the left hand side are some buttons. Feed and water increase the creature's hunger and thirst respectively. Experiment, after 10 seconds, will increase your money but also decrease hunger, thirst and happiness. Toggle door will open and close the door behind the monster. Leaving the door closed will slowly drain your money but if you leave it open the monster will attack you earlier.\r\n\r\nWater costs 30 dosh.\r\nFood costs 40 dosh.\r\n","title":"Extraterrestrial Confinement"}
