Ladies and Gentleman, your attention please!

Creator (that’s me) of the first not-a-puzzle (also known as Them Bad, You Good, Pew-Pew!) giveaway presents an entirely new not-a-puzzle way for you to get a free game!

I was glad to see you liked the pew-pew part of the entire deal, so here’s another link to a private giveaway hidden inside a game! This time it’s not stylized space shooter but a platform game, and a very demanding at that!

Click here to download the 2nd not-a-puzzle.... er... assignment.

You have three days - starting now, June 29th! Good luck and happy hunting!

Q&A:

Q: What is this, I don’t even I don’t even...
A: It’s simple. You download this free game (video preview). You play the game. You get an achievement. You gain access to the private giveaway. You DO NOT share the URL with anyone.

Q: Wait, you made this for us?
A: I’m making this platform game for fun, in my free time. This ‘SteamGifts Edition’ contains only the first level, so you shouldn’t have much problems finishing it.

Q: What are the system requirements?
A: The slowest computer I could find for testing was a Nettop (Intel Atom D410 @1.66 Ghz, 2GB RAM, Intel Integrated Graphics Adapter), but I assume any Windows XP / Vista / Win 7 100% compatible computer with screen resolution of at least 1024x600 pixels will do. Recommended screen size is 1280x720 or better.

Q: It does not work! I can not start the game OR I get an error!
A: Sorry about that, but this is an early build (v0.01.0.3) and there’s no support of any kind. Try running it on another computer.

Q: What am I supposed to do in the game?
A: Finding out what to do and what not to do is part of the puzz... assignment. You need to get an achievement to gain access to the private giveaway. There’s only one achievement for now, so you’ll know when you get it.

Q: I found a bug! There’s no way to jump to the next platform...
A: This level is tested by me and more than 10 other people. It can be finished and achievement can be collected. You will just need a bit more practice, it’s not made to be casual.

Q: Why not hire a professional artist, why use this awfully drawn graphics?
A: Like I said, I’m doing this just for fun. I like to create sprites and tiles by myself. I don’t really care if anyone else likes it or wants to play the game.

Q: I can not do it! Would you be mad if I cheated to the giveaway?
A: Yes. I would find you and stare at you for a long time, so you would feel very, very uncomfortable. You would be sorry after that. Do not cheat, just play the game like it’s 1985 again.

Q: Am I obliged to comment on a game, write something in this topic or say thanks?
A: No. It would be nice if you wrote something so we know that you managed to get inside, even if you do not enter the giveaway. Also, you could reply here so the topic lives on, but you are not obliged to write anything anywhere.

Q: Whatever you are giving will be discounted soon, so why now?
A: I’ve planned this as a finale of my June giveaway series announced here, and started in this topic with 3 giveaways (7 games) and 15 indie gala keys. Timing is not the best, but summer sales are not here yet, so it’s cool I guess.

Q: What are you giving away?
A: Get an achievement and find out.

Note: This topic is promoted inside of this public giveaway, so you may want to check it out.

Nice idea. I'm having trouble with the jumps, as your FAQ suggests might be the case. I'm sure you didn't make it impossible, but man, getting the timing and alignment on some of the jumps isn't easy. I could probably get through this if I practiced enough, but I'm not sure I'll have the time (or desire) to do so before the giveaway ends in a few days. Thanks for the offer though.

Got the achievement, but after that it just took me to the thank you for playing screen. Did I miss something?

Oh nevermind, it created a text file. Fun little game, will await the final verison!

See the little goblin,
See his little feet.
Look at his little nosey-wose,
Isn't the goblin sweet?

If you get the achievement as mentioned, you will get 1) browser page opened to the private giveaway and 2) a text file in the same folder where you unpacked the game, with backup url written inside for your safety.

Well, apparently you two did not do what it takes for an achievement to pop up. If it was easy, it wouldn't be an achievement, wouldn't it?
