There seems to be a problem searching for games. A game named "Word1 filler Word2" does not show up searching "Word1 Word2". And looking through >50 games while searching "Word1" or "Word2" is a bit anouying...

That's interesting, Don't see many text adventures in Ludum dare and it's a good thing to see.

Wasn't able to finish, it bugged out and gave me a blank screen after I picked up the uranium, but definitely was fun. Having to go hunt down and play other games just to finish this one? Not so fun.

There is a known bug, that the game crashes sometimes, but unfortunatly we couldn't reproduce it. It crashes at random points in the game.
For the people that dont want to play the other games, there ist a spoiler with all passwords.

Not sure if it was supposed to be that way, but I was able to create more than one portal... a lot of them, actually^^

Great job on the responses of the player character, sometimes it was a bit snappy, but it played it's role just perfectly well :D

And yeah... searching through 2500 games isn't exactly the greatest method, so I admit that I made use of the rot13. It does fit the theme really well, though ^_^

You can use the level select if your game crashed and you want to finish regardless. That way you can go back to the last time you went through a portal.

Was nice change of pace, couldnt input anything in the text files in OSX on chrome for some reason.

Cool game.
But sometimes the puzzles took me quite a while because I had to talk to the character several times about a specific item and I just couldn't remeber what I had already talked to him about so I had to try every item.
But really one of the best interpretations of the theme.

I really enjoyed this game. Great writing and reactions from the character to your commands.
