chasm [browser oldie]

The number of new interesting browser games might be smaller than it used to be, that's why I also started posting about mobile and downloadable games. But today I would like to introduce again something new here: browser oldies! I started posting new browser games here on bontegames.com in 2007 but what about all those browser games that were made before that? Well, I will start posting about those forgotten oldies but goodies here too! As a first oldie, enjoy this nice point and click adventure chasm from 2002 by Transience. Can you fix the problem of Chasmton's water supply?

  1. Love this idea! I know there are tons I have missed in the past 15 years, but I wouldn't know where to find them! Thanks Bart!

  3. I remember this one, great puzzle but I'm stuck up pipe D7, the beaver went up the pipe and disappeared.

  5. There's a missing cut-scene, you're meant to get flushed out of the pipe if you go the wrong way.

  8. Sorry there seems to be a bug in the version I posted earlier where you could get stuck in the pipes without getting flushed out. I have now updated with a correct working link!

  13. The first thing I did after discovering Bart's site was to click on the archives link and play every game he ever posted from the start.

  14. @Anon 15:55, he's clearly a platypus.

    Wow, I think I made the most detailed diagrams I've ever made for those pipes! While at the telescope, I sketched out the whole system all the way up the dam and traced my planned path to try and make it easier. I'd post my drawings if I could...

    I also like the way the game makes you think about the path of the water, like, "Which doors do I have to open/close to turn that wheel?" I think the game could be longer though... For such a short game, it's a fun mental workout!

  15. Any chance you could find the old game S.C.OUT? I loved playing that game and have looked everywhere but can't find it.
    (So great playing this game again. I seem to remember the ending being longer in the original version after the platypus makes it home.) Thanks so much!

  16. Thanks Bart!

    I love the idea of digging up old (and good) browser games.

    This one was a lot of fun - and Australian as well, funny because you don't often hear us use the word "chasm", more likely we'd say "gorge"...? I didn't pick it until halfway through the intro as I didn't recognize Jim as being a platypus at first, but then the twin horrors of warm beer and missing the Grand Final give it away!
