Izil finds herself bound to a mysterious island! Can you help her escape its clutches and return to civilization? Isle Izil is a game created for Kyle Bosman's Bruised Ego Game Jam. We've seen better results playing in Firefox than Chrome, just fyi, and if you're stuck at any point check out the HINTS below. Enjoy!

Controls:

WASD to move

Space/LMB to slash

J/RMB to hoot

Return/Esc to pause

If you ever find yourself stuck hold R to reset the room you're in!

Some hints:

- Not sure how to get into the first dungeon after talking with the Admiral (the dog)? Keep searching the trees!

- Have the key and the dungeon door not opening? Talk to the NPC first!

- Keys to the dungeons will always be in the overworld, never in the dungeons themselves.

- Each dungeon has a hidden item that will help you unlock the Schippie fight. You cannot re-enter dungeons after you complete them, so you only get one shot!

- There are illusory walls.

- Something fishy is happening on the beach after you complete the first dungeon.

- While you cannot die, you can be trapped by certain obstacles. Use the R hoot to reset the room and save your feathers.

- Most objects can be interacted with hoots or slashes. There are no punishments for hooting/slashing the wrong object, however certain things can only be interacted with after you've exhausted a character's dialogue.

- The crystals in the labyrinth dungeon will start to dim when they reach peak brightness. Use the timing to your advantage.

- There's one secret item per dungeon, and lots of other secrets, too.

- Keep scrolling down for more specific HINTS....
















Okay, fine, you want some spoiler hints. Here we go...

- For the labyrinth dungeon search the northern part of the stage.

- For the gated dungeon consider backtracking.

- For the water dungeon all you have to do is beat the crabs 2-0 in futbol. If they score on you just R hoot reset to clear the scoreboard.
















OH so now you want CHEATS?? If I share them will you just promise me you'll do one clean run of the game first since you can cheat from the very first map of the game? Thanks.

We use the "7" key to cheat in this game. In the labyrinth dungeon, pressing 7 will turn on the lights. One the first screen of the gated dungeon, pressing and holding 7 will disable ALL traps. For the water dungeon, pressing 7 on the second room will clear all crabs. In the soccer room pressing 7 will give you an automatic point.

On the beach in the overworld, pressing and holding 7 will induce 4 flashes. On the first it will complete the labyrinth for you. The second clears gated dungeon, and the third clears water dungeon. The fourth flash will give you all three liters of dragon syrup, allowing you to access the Schippie Dues fight and get the good ending.

Those are all the cheats I can think of, but there's a lot of other weird mechanics in the game that I'll let you discover on your own. Here are some snales for reading through all this:

Ping me if you're looking for some cheats in case you get stuck!

I'm already stuck? All the caves are closed, the dog sailor says something about a key/seagull/palm tree. I've checked all the areas, hit all the palm trees, hooted a bunch, don't see any seagulls. How do I open the caves?

Keep searching the trees!
