Nice game. I played Tropic Jim when it was released but stopped after a bug in the maintenance.
The bug is gone and this time I *nearly* made it to the end: After I lost to the countdown, I saw a GUI that prompted me to retry but couldn't click on it. The GUI popped early in the game over cutscene.
When I reloaded the autosave, I couldn't click on anything either.
That's a shame because the story was coming to a brillant conclusion.
The puzzles had me scratching my head but in the end I could overcome them without a walkthrough. Just the right balance.
Sorry to hear about the bugs! This game was made in AGS which as far as I know aging kinda poorly. Also I wasn't super familiar with code here. But glad to hear you otherwise liked it! If you're curious, you see both endings here in this video. I do talk in it though.
Great game, the puzzle difficulty was well balanced (for my IQ at least lol) and everything fit together very nicely. The effort put into the characters and cut scenes really makes this game stand out. Thanks for the fun!

Can't wait to try your other games.

I set the game for November Pick of the month on AGS. It deserves more attention :-)
One last nitpick: when you click on "Quit", the GUI reads "Are you sure? There is no save" despite the auto-save working.
thank you for the feature! i updated the game to the latest version of AGS and tested the ending- it works again, at least on my computer!
