open the surstromming
Please open the surstromming, it is a speciality of Sweden and it smells the most in the world...
Spoiler: Notice that the D in SWEDEN is highlighted. When you open up the puzzle, there is no yellow in the corner. The Cardinal Directions are N, S, W, E ;')
Surströmming - I don't know what part of Sweden you live in. But where I come from (Norrland) the people sure do eat surströmming. Not on a regular basis though. It's more of a once a year thing. Late summer/early fall it's surströmmingspremiär, which means the first cans of the year is ready. A common way to eat it is on thin soft bread (tunnbröd) with almond potato, onion and sour cream. Enjoy! Not me though, since I'm a vegetarian..
At the westcoast, i have never even seen a Surströmmings can. I not even sure they sell it in our stores :) But in north you eat a lot of strange food :)
Okay, that wasn't "short" -- it was practically not even a game. Two little (easy) puzzles then game over. This was kind of like playing 1/5 of an easy Dismantlement. :)
Great game. Very simple little timewaster. Inspired by the "dismantlement" series but much shorter. Thanks Jay.
ReplyDeleteBart you mean I guess :)
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed. The two puzzles were pretty interesting and I was looking forward to more difficult puzzles but it just ended =(
ReplyDeleteI agree with previous comments. Really a shame that the game is so short. Very simple puzzles.
ReplyDeletehmmm... i must be a fail i cant get the second puzzle :(
ReplyDeleteGame deffinetly made me smile.
ReplyDeletegreat way to pass 5 minutes.
WALKTHROUGH!
ReplyDelete(If anyone needs it.)
-The first lock has to do with shapes and the word SURSTROMMING. line up the letters with the letters.
Spoiler: SMNU
-The second lock has to do with coordinates. not sure how you figure it out.
Spoiler: south, West, East, East, North.
Or just click down, left, right, right, up.
-Click the fan at the bottom for the game. It gets rid of the smell.
Well, that's it. Short, sweet, maybe kinda stinky, and to the point.
ENJOY!
the end sounded like something from the hoshi saga games.
ReplyDeleteNice little game. Also thought this would be a little longer.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Bart.
the fan at the end is kind of cute. don't often get to do anything more once a game is done.

I just had to say that we don´t really eat that... And we don´t ride a polar bear to school! ^^

ReplyDeleteI was expecting to dismantle a bomb, but i guess not.. I liked the fan though...
ReplyDeleteOMG i am sooo stupid it took me 1 hour to get the first puzzle and i used a walkthrough for the 2nd one
ReplyDeleteI'm number 42839!
ReplyDeleteYay!

Hey got it without help. Yeah rather short but who's complaining.
ReplyDeleteWhat the...?
