Don't Starve
Jun. 19th, 2014 10:02 pmI'm kind of sad I didn't go crazy, but I guess it'll happen eventually. I did almost get set on fire by lightning though, that was kind of spiffy.
'Lines you only hear from gamers' is always a fun thing. My mother called me tonight, and I frantically told her I couldn't talk because a giant frog was trying to eat me. That sort of thing no longer fazes her.

teaandfailure posted an amusing write up about a game called Don't Starve (you can read it here!). I've been wanting to pick it up, and today it's on sale for 75% off in the Stream Summer Sale (for the next 12 hours!), so thanking my good timing, I grabbed it. Can't go wrong paying $3 and change for a game!
I only had time to play two games of it tonight, but I'm really liking it. One of the fun parts is that there are no instructions! No text when you hover over icons or something, nothing telling you what to do. (Having readteaandfailure's posts, I knew a little.) You just have to try to live (and not starve).
My first game was really short, but I have no idea why. I just fell over dead for seemingly no reason. (I might have starved, as I didn't know what the icons were indicating. I need to obey game titles better!) The second game lasted longer (three whole game days!), until a frog killed me. Not the same frog I mentioned when my mother called, that was a totally different game. I guess today was just a dangerous day to be around frogs.
I don't have any peachy keen screenshots yet, as mostly all I did was pick grass and chase after birds with my axe. Visitteaandfailure's LJ to see some! The graphics really are cute and funny.
