While the game has an interesting premise, there are several things that
make it unsatisfactory and difficult to play. There are at least two
occasions where, once you drop an object, you cannot pick it up again
despite hardly carrying anything (not counting the dropping of the glass
bottle which breaks). Certain movements must be done in sequence with no
extraneous movement allowed. There is a butcher, but you only see his
assistant, so talk to him as if he is there. You may think that giving
the king the bread is enough, but that is not all that is needed. You
cannot go back and retrieve what you need then, so you must have both
objects with you when you visit the king. Thus you must restore a
previous game. You cannot examine any object at the windmill, as all it
gives you is a description of the windmill.
Hints:
All objects are needed once, with the exception of the matches. Exits
are not marked so you need to try all possible six directions (N, S, E,
W, UP, DOWN) at every location, which makes the game somewhat tedious.
There is one unusual verb-noun combination – LIFT BATH which,
surprisingly means you take a bath.
You need to find fuel for the stove. An axe and a saw are both needed.
Baking the bread is not as easy to do as it looks because of the
previously mentioned bugs. You do not need to be holding the dough to
put it in the tin.
One needs gloves before mixing and kneading the dough. The tin also
needs to be greased. Don't drop the bottle before you have used it.
Before you fly with the hanglider, make sure you have the helmet, and
the means of getting back up (two objects, well, actually three).
What a shame. It would have been an interesting game if these bugs and
glitches had been fixed.
Solution:
You are Peepo the Mushwump. You read that the king will give his
daughter to anyone who can bring him a loaf of bread, cooked like his
grandmother used to do. He will also give half his kingdom.
