cobaltnine | IFComp 2008 - Snack Time! (10/20/08)

I like the sub-title 'an interactive break'. It's definitely coffee-break* size.

I'm going to be forthright: I thought this was adorable. There isn't a huge game here, but what I see is nicely implemented. It's a newish IF trope, and it's been done before and more complex, but it made me grin and I played it through a second time to do the 'amusing's. This is the first game of the comp I've done that for.

After dreading popping open each new file, this one made me sigh in relief. Thank you.

Rating: 7. It's very short. I can't quite bring myself to rate it much higher, even though I know that even at this size it required a decent amount of work.

*You know, if you get coffee-breaks that let you play video games, and not coffee-breaks that are only long enough to reheat your coffee at 2 pm, the one you had bought at 7:53, because someone is taking 20-25 minute smoking breaks and guess who gets stuck with the backlog. Yeah.
