Ha, I see my two little tune-mods have made it into WOOT.

This is great. Mariah has never looked so good. Looks like the interviews will keep me going through the day, too.

Re: WOOT 2021 IS HERE!
I just got the call yesterday to say that Christmas is, once again, cancelled.
I suppose I'll check out my work along with everyone else's on what, for me, will merely be Saturday.
Is anyone else going to be around?

Woohoo..! <clicks download>
Once again I wasn't expecting there to be quite as much on the tape (must be a C1200 or something) so it'll probably take me happily until the end of the year to play everything...
Nice work and thanks for our Chrimbo pressie...

What a fantastic tape.
Brilliantly presented with so much care towards all of the content.
Thank you so much for making and sharing this!

Re: WOOT 2021 IS HERE!
Just realised, in the rush, I sent Dave the .TAP directly from the compiler, no time to add a loading screen, so here it is as it should be. At some point I'll try and do a proper release version of the game for the database - maybe tidy up a few other things too. The whole thing has been done in a rush in three weekends, plus an evening here and there on the graphics. Also grateful of any feedback as I've been so immersed in it I have no idea if the game, the graphics, or the (farty beeper) music are remotely any good! Do please take time to read the short story it's based on for the background!
But now I'm going to read the rest of WOOT like everyone else! Thanks tons for this!

Reminds me some of Poe stories...
Re: WOOT 2021 IS HERE!
Seconded. Time ran out on us to present it differently, but this is an example of a .txt file that definitely SHOULD be read!
Re: WOOT 2021 IS HERE!
Wow, had no idea how many other people were contributing games!
Am I missing something in Frumpy Xmas though? Is it meant to be a gag? I can't get anywhere in either of the two levels I can see at all!
For mine, if it's not clear, the main aim is to escape the mansion, but also see if you can (a) find the pirate's treasure and (b) discover what became of the previous occupants. If you come across a ghost along the way, you have a split-second to hit FIRE and give it a flash of your Kodak 110 Instamatic Flash Bulb, which should see it off. (Other manufacturer's flash bulbs are available).
First, here's a straight-forward hint, if you're struggling to orient yourself...
And here's a bigger hint, to help with finding your way around:

Spoiler
You start in the bottom-left corner of the map, facing South. The house has double windows in all rooms facing South; single windows on the West and East facing sides. If you're trying to map it, the rooms are all single squares. Nothing too clever or warped. It's not Willy's mansion!
Spoiler
From the start position, turn right round so you're facing the door to the North. Now, knowing that, go North, East, East, South, East, North. You'll find a chest with something very useful inside...
Re: WOOT 2021 IS HERE!
Haven't looked at it yet. But am GENUINELY EXCITED. w00t is always great, it will never let you down. Thanks in advance for all who made this. If it's REALLY great or I get extra drunk, I will thank you again, but spelled worse.

p.s. nag me next year about puzzles, i think i could do something for you.

Yep as StanVan says, it's like Meatboy, except here you're a doughboy (I suppose).

Re: WOOT 2021 IS HERE!
Had a quick blast through everything this evening. Spent most of the time playing the excellent Greed, simple yet oh-so satisfying!
SumItUp was a maths intensive challenge that proved I couldn't add simple digits to total 9 grrr!
ElementZX had a few Speccy related comments in there that made me laugh!
Thank you to everyone involved for their time and effort putting everything together for Woot! 2021. Will have to sit down and go through it all during the next month or so.
