Again I apologise, these inconsistencies on the dialogue are the result of not getting any sleep and it making sense when I made it."},{"author_name":"DesignerNap","author_uid":"21374","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 11:06am","epoch":1367233260,"text":"Hahaa!

I missed a couple of tricks I wanted to pull but instead I would rather sleep.\r\n\r\nIt's a very simple game, just mouse useage. Made in GameMaker Studio, with Paint for graphics and Audacity for sound. \r\n\r\nThe game plays in 1280x800, so you'll only want to play the web version when viewing through a monitor that supports the size.\r\n\r\nAs a bit of a project on the side, I have also made the game available for android, and it works with no issues on the Nexus 7 tab.\r\n\r\nwww.charwool.co.uk\/The-Adventures-of-Mrs-Minimalist-Charlotte-Woolley.apk\r\n\r\nI usually include and instructions page, however I felt that the game was just too simple to justify one. Click on an offending article for a menu to appear and do whatever you think fits the object. \r\n\r\nThere are bonuses for recycling the correct amount of objects or sabotaging them. Mrs Minimalist will inform you the correct amount of objects to remove from the game at the start of every level, remove that many and only that many or Mr Minimalist might notice.\r\n\r\nA mouse click forwards Mrs Minimalist's text as well as Mr's at the end of every level to bring up the results screen. This aspect could stand to be improved as it is very easy for an impatient user to skip important dialogue.\r\n\r\nPLEASE NOTE:\r\nYou must click to skip the husbands dialogue when he comes home, and to begin 'tidying' after the woman has spoken. This is down to my own inconsistencies, I have mentioned it above but this sentence has capital letters before it!\r\n\r\nHOWEVER!!! The first dialogues of each level are not skippable and if you wait for them they close after 5 seconds, if you do have a problem with these ones can you please let me know what you are running on.<\/p>","title":"Adventures of Mrs Minimalist"}
