Take Something Literally 2: released

Play

The second episode of Take Something Literally was released friday june 4thon ArmorGames.com.

You can play this game by clicking here: Take Something Literally 2. (Exclusive on ArmorGames until Friday)

Like I said, I designed an original, conceptual and non-conform game. Unfortunatly many players expect to see “a classic game”. Therefore they don’t understand the meaning of the game “Take Something Literally”. If I had to describe the main concept of Take Something Literally 1&2 I said: “Make the players play with their environment “. Like the first episode players have to play with their computer inside and outside the game.

If you don’t want to play with your OS, your browser, your mouse and your keyboard I think that Take Something Literally is not for you.

What is this game?

Take Something Literally 2 is a compilation of 25 original puzzles. In this game you just have to think outside the box. This game is abstract, conceptual and uses new interactivities. This new episode contains new features: new scoring system, new tip system and more funny rewards.

Walkhrough

Only if you are stuck :)

1st Part : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLfz5Jy9FDc
2
nd Part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb7S5×2NFGQ

Why this game?

Actually I had no plans to develop a second episode. The first episode exhausted all resources of Flash. But I received many messages from players asking me to make a new Take Something Literally. I was exciting to work on this game again. So I decided to find 25 new puzzles with the same idea: “Make the players plays with their environment”. I wanted to create something new. I knew that many players would dislike that king of game but I also knew that players would be surprised and entertained to play an original game with original interactions. So I hope that game will entertain many players!

You should also read my last post about Take Something Literally 1&2.

Take Someting Literally 2 private beta

Take something literally 2 logo

Click to play Take something literally 2 beta

After many requests I decided to blow up my brain to design more puzzles. That was hard, that was epic but I finally found 25 more puzzles. And now your are welcome to test here:

Take Something Literally 2 in private beta here.

I hope you will enjoy the new game system, the puzzles, the references and the rewards. If you have any request please post a comment or go to the forum.

A little post mortem about the first episode:

Take something literally 1 was my first “riddle” game. I made this first episode without Internet connection in few days. I made this game for fun. Actually I just started to design one little “game” based on the irreversible choises, the “flash cookies” and the clock system. But after all this idea had a big potential. So I decide to design a lot of litle puzzles based “outside the game”. Against all odds it was a hudge success with players. I knew that some players could not play some puzzles. But that was my choise. I knew that sponsors would be frightened about that. But after the first release on Kongregate and the 1 million plays in one week they changed their opinion.

Take Something Literally 2 (wip): looking for funny rewards

screenshotI almost finished to develop Take Something Literally 2 but I would like to add some special rewards.
Actually i’m looking for 5 funny rewards: 1 reward if you complete 5 puzzles. (see the screenshot).
As you can see with Take Something Literally 1 I try to create original puzzles with original rewards.
The previous ending reward was this one : Keyboard cat

I’m looking for youtube videos, please post a comment with your link(s).
Try to find an original funny movie: no advertising, no copyrighted movie,
no more 3 min.

Thank you.
