Zumpf and Fumping
by Anonymous

In this small surreal game, you play as someone who was banished from Evil Fishville because you had a bag of peyote Skittles (don't ask). Then you attempted to make up for it with a quest to defeat the mythical creature of doom known as the Zumpf. Well, you found the Zumpf then immediately fled, but it seems a Mysterious Benefactor is going to help you defeat it after all.

This solution is by David Welbourn.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
