A Subtle Commentary On Faith

Don’t shoot the puppy.

    I dont get it.

    It’s very Zen. The only way to really win is not to play.

    Yeah the longer you don’t play the longer the dog lives after clicking start I believe.

    I’m sure Mr. Jennings had an underlying motive for posting a link to this game. Insofar as the only way to succeed is to do nothing whatsoever, I’m expecting this to be a biting commentary on the Darkfall school of game promotion.

    Or maybe he just has time to waste.

    I must be a bad person. I just keep shooting the puppy. NEXT PUPPY!

    Okay so what I said earlier is horse crap. I just waited 18 minutes, clicked start, and instantly raped that puppy.

    You can’t move your mouse or hit any buttons, but must watch the puppy move across the screen. Once its off screen, it will move to the next level.

    Watch out tho, in later levels it tries to trick you into moving the mouse, like from a popup for example.

    Thats not “Zen” any more than every other game ever made.

    I couldn’t get past level 8, mostly because I moved the mouse and didn’t feel like waiting from level 1 to 7 again.

    Heh, Don’t Shoot The Puppy is truly classic game. :-)

    Level 15 is a lie!

  • Freakazoid

    Old ass game, bro. It has its moments, though. I’ve beaten this game twice and level 12 still almost fools me.

    I’m going to sit here and not touch my laptop for a while just to get to level 15, aren’t I? The pop-up ad fooled me the first time. Won’t get fooled again… or something.

    Congratulations – you have reached enlightenment.

    I won the game. Go me. Yay.

  • xzzy

    So I went back despite misgivings and made it to the end.. I was half afraid to move the mouse when it said I won, in case it was a trick.

    Hmmm. If that were so I would probably understand the game.

    Seems a laser mouse and a low-friction mouse pad is actually a point against me. I typically shoot the puppy just clicking on start.

  • dartwick

    Ya I get the game now. Its kind of retarded game design if you use modern equipment. A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil kills the runt in my case.

    Depending on your mouse you could think it supposed to teach a variety of lessons.

    I believe he’s referring to level five.

    No at the time I was referring to level 1. Or did you mean Lum was referring to lvl 5?

  • Amaranthar

    Yeah Scott, I saw that on Rocky and Bullwinkle.
