4.2/5 (182 votes)

What you think is irrelevant, in this text-based adventure/interactive fiction by John Cooney. The man behind the mirrored glass tells you that you are a llama and if you know what is good for you, you will believe him. Following any and all instructions given to you is also not a bad idea if you enjoy things like breathing and not being dead.

I wish I knew what to do in the last room? Or is that it?

What do I do with the extra code I get?

Honestly, the end is a bit lame.

It sort of makes you think that jmtb02 jumped into the firepit in Portal and didn't think there was any other ending. I can take a joke and all, but come on.

Also, I don't really like the fact that you can't use short commands x for "examine/look at" or g for "go". And you will definately sympathize with me when you find out that you can't press the up arrow key to bring back the previous command.

But don't let my criticism drive you away from this great game :D

Very cute game. Reminded me slightly of Portal though... Which is a good thing.

Cyndane May 18, 2009 4:53 PM

Huh. It doesn't seem to be working for me.
At the bottom left, it has "Level 1". In the bottom right it says "Your level name will go here." And in what I think is the blank where to type stuff in, it says, "this format fekwlf tensido alkem". Oh, and it says Llama Adventure at the top. Otherwise, I have a completely black screen for the game. Anyone have any idea what is up?

Reply

I love Llama Adventure. I've never played Portal (yes, we exist) so I just appreciate it from the snappy writing angle. Some people are going to be annoyed at the ending, some people are going to just take the '50s Dad route and sort of wag their finger, smiling ruefully. Boy howdy, you sure got me there, champ!

Give it a play if you're one of those people who don't take yourself (or your hobbies) too seriously, but don't forget to go outside to graze every now and again, too. Llamas are sociable creatures! (If spitting is your idea of a social interaction, anyway.)

Great review, Kyle. I always enjoy getting a look at someone's reaction to a game when it's different from mine.

How come I can't see ANYTHING other than a llama, some dots, and words on the bottom of the page? Has it even started yet? Please help me!

Good so far, but mine seems to be stuck.

in room 5, I type "look room", but I don't get any response, not even that he doesn't understand the command

is this a glitch or am I missing something here? I've tried refreshing the screen to no avail.

Cyndane May 18, 2009 5:06 PM

Fascinating. I'm using XP, so that shouldn't be a problem. I use Firefox by default, so I switched it over to IE. Upon doing that, I still had that gibberish message at the bottom, but now I had a Submit button that did nothing. I could delete the gibberish text and type something else there to no effect, though. I think I'm just going to have to pass on this game.

Reply

Cyndane: are you running FP10? if not, try it?

To others... there also happens to be 2 easter eggs in the game. one is about your friendly video making kender and his blindfolded puzzle solving friend; the other is about mr cooney's favorite feline.

You can watch my video, in-game, which tells you what to do to see the easter eggs. It's right near the start.

Is thehoodie trolling, or

is there really an extra code ending? I don't get anything at the ending except booted back to the beginning (ha ha).

Also, speaking of

codes, did anybody have codes to enter in room 3 under option 2, "other"? Curious as to what happens.

And, as a final cranky old man comment, you would think that people would proofread and grammar check a little more thoroughly when writing a text adventure. Just sayin'.

I like it so far, but I wish you could type in funny commands and get amusing results. I love doing that in text adventures.

Nevertheless, it's pretty good.

Reply

So far, so good! I've been electrocuted, left to starve, blown up by a bomb and broken the fabric of time. Nice going for a llama.

Putting the game aside for now, I'm going for the sidequest:

In the very first room, there is a shelf with some books. One of them is called "Computering", and mentions a lock that requires 5 codes to be opened. This can actually be found at the third room, as option "2. Other" in the computer.

The first code is for the game "Elephant Rave", and was quite esay to find:

18293

The next code can be found in "TBA 2", so I'm going to look there. Might take a while to find all the codes...

Any help in this quest is very appreciated!

Reply

Hint for the sidequest:

The code for TBA 2 can be found on the game's main screen... So you don't have to play through it all (like I did...)

See that tiny rock on the lower right? ;D

Ok. I'm stuck on room 3. Maybe it's just my lack of sleep, but could I get some help from anyone?

I know I'm going to feel so stupid for this but what do I do in Room 5? I can pick up the sofa cushion but I can't get the remote....

Reply

Maybe you should just try getting it?

Reply

Hooray, another code down!

The third one was at Hedgehog Launch, very well hidden in the ending screen.

The first three codes are up ahed. Sure you want to do this?

Oaky then. So far, the codes are:

Elephant Rave -> 18293
TBA 2 -> 33820
Hedgehog Launch -> 11249

Next up is Dark Cut 3, in my opinion a bad game to hide a code. Graphical violence isn't my cup of tea. But I've got 3 of 5 codes already, and I'm going to the end of this...

TO BE CONTINUED

Reply

I finished! Should I make a walkthrough?

Reply

Ok, I did the sidequest, but can anything be done with the code you get at the end? or is that going to be in a future game?

Reply

The code for DC3 -should- be 29121, but the game rejects it as incorrect.

29121 is found be clicking on the barcode in DC3.

Most frustrating.

Reply

I'm too horrible at darkcut to find the code, anyone mind helping me on that (for the sidequest).

Reply

I'm puzzled. This is the last thing I expected to find.

Found the Dark Cut 3 code (which was awful to understand, since there was absolutely no difference between the 1s and 7s) , and headed to Maverick for the final code.

Which is actually the error message at the end!

I input all the codes, and there it was... A new code! But I'm not giving this one out... Why spoil all the fun?

Thanks for the great time I had with the sidequest, jmtb02!


By the way... Has anyone tried to type "jmtb02" in the game? xD

the in-game walkthrough has both text and video... the video has both easter eggs and the full side quest.

Um, Donut, you know tasselfoot already made a walkthrough that includes all the codes, right?

What an interesting and user-friendly game.
It really doesn't take that much work to type words properly, this isn't one of those super long detailed dungeon crawling text adventures.
The grammatical errors, however, have no excuse.

Reply

Interesting. I only died once; the rooms were pretty easy. The ending... well.

I figured at first that it wasn't an infinite loop, but that there was something that would change, or that I'd missed. Once I realized it was infinite loop, I was kinda annoyed. It feels like a copout.

zbeeblebrox May 18, 2009 10:32 PM

Hahahaha! Nice ending

Reply

I'll probably give this game another shot later, but I got annoyed and quit in the second room.

I'll take your word for it, Kyle, that this game is highly accessible to IF newbies, but to an old-hand at IF it's ironically very UNaccessible, IMO. It got very annoying having the game react with confusion to what I thought were very obvious requests. I felt like I was constantly trying to figure out the precise syntax the game wanted me to use, even with the keyword highlighting and all that.

To me, this game felt like a perfect example of why it's better to build IF games using an extant authoring system rather than coding one from the ground up.

But I like the look and feel of it, and the humor was good, so I'll give it another shot tomorrow and see how it goes.

Reply

the ending was great. I got really confused for about ten minutes just now, wondering what in the heck I was supposed to do, until I realized about the ending everyone's been talking about. The comparisons to Portal I think are apt and I laughed as loudly just now as I did playing that game. Great game, sense of humor and ending and I appreciated the accessability of this IF. It made the game fun rather than a chore for someone as dim as me. Cheers jmtb02 for makin' the game and JIG for putting it up so I could find it.

okay, i played through to the end, and i stand by my earlier comments. the sense of humor of the game i found cute but not exactly hilarious. i found the ending pretty lame. and i continued to be annoyed by the games inability to handle abbreviations of commands or respond logically to different ways of wording a statement.

Reply

I have the same problem as Cyndane. I have a mac, and I've tried the game both in Safari and Firefox.

Reply

From what I've gathered, the main reason this text adventure is restrictive and annoying to people who've played lots of text adventures before is that they're used to open exploration, with plenty of trial and error in open environments. Here, there are point&click style puzzles, as well as the whole theme of restriction and patronization.

(Say there, do you like immersive settings with a full inventory of items and multiple ways to use them all to solve craftily thought-out puzzles? Of course not, all that stuff is too complex for a llama like you! Ha-hah, like you thought you had a choice!)

It is a good introduction to text games, though, thanks to all the reasons of accessibility mentioned in the review. I'd call the ending a cop-out if it wasn't expected, thanks to the general tone and theme of the game.

The game is kind of cute, but it seems like somewhat lazy programming. The whole charm to me of text adventures is the illusion of it knowing what you were going to type and predicting your answer by having a prepared response.

The author should put a bit more time in and allow for different permutations and the use of abbreviations in answers. Also, there should be more varied responses to what you input.

SOMEONE needs to write up a walkthrough for this game. There are questions that need to be answered, like

is there really a secret penthouse room, & how do you get to it?

The following concerns the penthouse.

I am also having trouble getting out onto the green pastures out of the window. I tried to pull out all the books on the bookcase to see if any were a secret passage but none of them worked. Not even the "Small suspicious black book"

ANOTHER CODE! For anyone that still plays this game:

You sure?

66591

HOW I FOUND THIS:

find the easter egg in 'I Hate Traffic', as in

click in the center of the 'A' on the title screen. It gives you an achievement and says

"Muffin says THANKS FOR PLAYING - remember 66591"

I think this is a good concept, but stretching it out has made it outlive its time. Cross-game codes are smart, but the game was (and still is) practically unsolvable without waiting for all the games to come out and doing TONS of research. It would have been better to roll out the codes beforehand and give cryptic hints on the blog every now and then.

I was amused with the ending and my mind put in the rest of "my ending". This is not an all together original ending in it of itself, but I don't recall a game that end with

your character replaying the game, basically putting you in an endless loop

I am not as disturbed as the review by this ending, but I am not all the way satisfied. At most I am partially satisfied with the ending, amused with the joke, and overall enjoyed the game, as well as calling the "master" names that he did not get.

0/5 mushrooms. Games based on outdated, offensive racist jokes don't amuse me.

"For the best [name of race] joke in the world, turn over this paper." And on the other side, it says the same thing. Implication: members of pick-a-race were being called extremely stupid.

I'm willing to believe the designer doesn't know that's where this setup came from, but it still isn't funny.

Daibhid C October 20, 2015 4:07 PM replied to Lysana

Huh. I've heard over a dozen versions of that joke, and I've never yet heard a version that uses [name of race], even though I've also (unfortunately) heard a lot of "[name of race] are stupid" jokes. The version I'm most familiar with just says "How to keep an idiot busy (please turn over)".

In addition to not being racist, it just fits together better this way. (The only way I can get your [name of race] version to make sense is if it's actually saying "People who like [name of race] jokes are stupid".)
