A first time game made for Wizard Jam 4, Fall of 2016. This game consists mostly of silly in-joke references to the Idle Thumbs podcast and twitch streams, and might be a little confusing to players unfamiliar with the podcast. (If you are unfamiliar, go listen to it!)

You find yourself on a train, and in your hand a strange piece of paper. In each train car is a slyboots. You'll know them by the way they repeat specific words or parts of words in conversation, sometimes subtly, sometimes not so subtly. By some combination of words overheard and that piece of paper in your hand you may deduce a four digit number.

Controls:

A - Left
D - Right
W - Listen
S - Learn Words Of The Day

At Padlock:

W & S - Select Tumbler
D - Leave Padlock
Number Keys - Select Digit

Version History:

V1.3 is the most recent and probably final version, with some bug fixes, some added controls explanation, some edits to the intro/outro text, and some visuals tweaks to make things prettier.

V1.2 added the ending, music, and a fair bit of art that didn't get sorted together in time to go in v1.1.

V1.1 was submitted on the deadline for Wizard Jam 4 and is missing a few things like sound, background art, and an ending...
