...that it must be a Djinn on the Rocks.

Congratulations on tying for first place (basically, hehe) in the Puny Jam! This game was so fun to play, so cleverly written, and so creative. I really enjoyed the funny responses to commands, and the characters that were full of character. I'm looking forward to playing your next game!
thank you kindly, I'm glad we're in touch, I'll be playing your games too :)
