Yinglet Maker

Make your own text-mode yinglet using zhe DOS-era game creation system ZZT! Customize zhem to your heart's content (or as far as ZZT's capabilities will let you), and screenshot your yinglet creation  when you're done.

Alternatively, run zatzhing offline with zhe download below (Windows only, sorry).

Zhe typo in zhe title screen is intentional! It's a ZZT in-joke in its own way.

But what is a yinglet?

A fantasy creature resembling a rodent/feathered-dinosaur hybrid created in zhe webcomic Out-of-Placers. You can read it at https://www.valsalia.com/ to get to know zhem better.

How to play

Once you start zatzhing, select (Keyboard) and (C)olor and zhen press P to play. Move using zhe arrow keys and interact with objects by touching zhem. Once in zhe game, you can pause by pressing P and unpause by moving.

Playing offline

For zhe offline version provided below (Windows only), download and unzip to your folder of choice and run YINMAKE.exe. You can take a screenshot using F12, or you can save your game after creating your yinglet if you would like something more zhan a screenshot.

For more information on ZZT and its community, I recommend visiting zhe Museum of ZZT. You can find more ZZT games on itch.io with zhe 'zzt' tag in zhe game information section.
