The following game:
http://chooseyourstory.com/story/get-off-this-island~21  (Trust me - not currently worth a Clicky-Link)

Is completely unplayable and worthless to the site; and unless the author makes some changes, should be deleted.

I PM'd the author about this, so it remains to be seen what will be done (if anything) to even make the game playable ...

Currently, it is nothing more than a random combination guessing game with no info that even if only 5 layers deep would still be a 1 in 1024 chance to correctly guess.

tried it out, once i clicked for the hundreth time, I gave up. He seriously needs to add description, and maybe raise the difficulty to a 9/8 ( just so people know it's beyond impossible to get)

Just tried it and completed in in 37 seconds

Or thought it was dam annoying and not worth persevering at so I stopped and decided to troll this thread

Derp...

Comments or it didn't happen ...  ;)

A generous guess is that he attempted to create a maze game and deliberately didn't put descriptions to make it harder. I've seen it done like that before, but like quizzes and fanfic, I'm not really a fan of mazes in general, let alone a whole game dedicated to a non-descript one.

of course it's possible he didn't actually put an ending at all and just submitted a looping "game."

Some feedback, like I don't know "you hit a dead end" or completes in six moves, would make the game playable...

Looping games - In no uncertain terms should be fixed or unpublished. It breaks the system to have one sitting out there that cannot be finished (Bo...)  :(

yeah it is unwinnable. Although i think berka is concerned because it throws off his 100% rating trophy

Hell yes I am LOL!

If there's a trophy for reading 100% of the games; then putting an unfinishable one out there (ahem, Bo...) just breaks the system and is like some asshole coming along and popping the beach ball you were just playing with.

yeah i feel bad that 100% will change to  99.99% ha. well hopefully it gets deleted or at least fixed soon

Nope, finished the silly thing...

HOW!??!!?!!?!!!

The game does actually give you an incredibly minute amount of feedback when you play. Believe it or not, the thing is so bare-bones, that even this little 'clue' might just make it too easy...

if you're talking about the slight lag there is every couple of clicks, i'm fairly certain that doesn't count (I tried it again and it's still impossible, also, i'm not good with made up riddles so the hint in the description is useless to me)

Well, I see that you actually can finish the game, so we now know that it's not an infinite looper at least...

Btw , I've been trying to get the rate all games trophy so I've gone on a playing spree, when I noticed that Bo's game is incompletable.

why is this?

Yeah, Bo needs to fix that or unpublish his game.

It was complete-able at one point, but then he took out all the end links for some reason. It's not fair to others to keep it up and deprive them of their chance to go 100%...

I honestly don't see the point of this game ._.

there isn't any, it's a horrible game, it's also impossibly hard, which is the only thing it has going for it.

I solved it woohoo. I gave away a hint in the comments because I didnt read the warning.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!!!!!!

i mean, come on, as soon as you swim you're already off the island, and how are you walking if you're in water? this game makes no sense.

This may belong in bugs and problems.

Naw - The game is playable (torturously hard - but not buggy)...

Okay, I misunderstood.

heh, it was deleted. damn it, I was so proud of that comment I left.
