Avish!

DOS - 1993

In this fun puzzle game, you take the role of Avish, an absent-minded professor who gets lost in the university's library.

On each room you need to find a key to unlock the exit. You have to find the right use for every item you find, such as bombs, compressors, boxing gloves, rockets and more, and negotiate crumbling floors, trampolines and the deadly Harry-monster.

Overall, one of the better homebrew games that's easy to play, but hard to play well.

Keys are:
Left and right arrows for moving.
Up arrow for jump.
Down arrow to use elevator (then up/down)
Space to pick up or drop item.
Enter to use item (drop bomb, use key, etc.)
