The best sig. EVER.

*edit*
I was going to play it until I saw the damned life force sequence, and I'm the house by myself. Have some DECENCY!

It really is fabulous! This type of thing is usually a pushover, but it's a real challenge. You need a bit of luck sometimes, though. :D

Nice one Ali! It drove me a little insane, but it's so addictive that I couldn't just leave it alone! It certainly allowed me to kill some time when I was supposed to be doing other more practical things like job hunting! 30 mins well wasted, me thinks!  ;D

I've made one attempt so far; I failed in Level Two (I'll give no further details - I don't want to spoil it for others).

Absolutely brilliant. Can't finish it. Which is good - as hardly anyone ever finished KM anyway. Like the way in which old and new characters all come together - like Gumboil and Sylvester Hands for example - the game almost runs as a best of KM. Also, when you die in the game - you die because you seriously cocked up - quite often, especially early on, teams seemed to die through no fault of their own. Then, you always have a classic Treguard moment of "You shouldn't have stepped in that quicksand" or "when disguised as a star, you shouldn't have walked over that cliff" This isn't making sense - I've been drinking gin.

The first time I tried it I didn't even get to Level 2. :(
I'm not going to embarrass myself further by saying how I died.

heh heh heh.  Only in the final stages will you have to rely on "wisdom and careful consideration" (others call it luck).  but its nice to see that people are finding it hard.  don't forget - there is more than one path ;)

Wow, that is excellent.  A really challenging adventure.  I've had one attempt and didn't make it to level 2.  It's good that this site has just enough still pictures of the lifeforce to make this adventure work perfectly :D.  I too like the way that you can die easily by making a mistake.  I got a certain riddle wrong in attempt 1 and was mincemeat soon after!!

Well, after an hour's play, I've made it to level 3 at last.  Thanks for creating such a great challenge Ali.

I still haven't found the blasted talisman. If I find out Motley's been hiding it on his person all along as a hilarious jape I'm going to be so angry!

Thirdly: Thanks to the people who have sent me their comments.  really appreciate it :)
