Must be missing the very obvious. I have

a bag, a bag with rodent and a bag with ink bomb. A water bottle and a nail file

but I can't progress. Talked to everyone about everything, used all objects on all hotspots but there's nothing left to do. What is it I don't see?

[Victor6]

Use the ink bomb with the guy in the tower (Stanley?). I think you might have to exhaust all Stanley's conversation topics first.

[Leon]

I did. And then I get the message: I'd rather not ruin my chances... What more is there to find out? Are there things I should not talk about?

I already know that

he left in a red aircraft. But Stanley isn't authorized to talk about it.

[close]

Nevermind. There's one topic that slightly changes and needs to be exhausted. Thanks for the nudge...

[Helme]

Spoiler

You have to be really really  really nice and repetitive in the dialog.

[Leon]

Indeed. But after that? It seems my brain still isn't as it used to be... I can't find the hole in the fence.

[Helme]

I found it at once- just near the dog.

[Leon]

Not only brain dead, blind as well... is it marked with another name or still named fence..?

[Helme]

I think it was still named fence. Seems like one time I was succesful with pixel hunting.

[Leon]

Right, that solves this non-pixel hunt. It was still named fence so how on earth could you tell where to go? Of all places, I wouldn't try it next to a guard dog... 

[Kastchey]

Agreed, it's not a pixel hunt, it's more like a blind shot. If you happen to right-click the correct area, you're done. If not, you might not even realize there's something to click at. I had problems with that one too.
C'mon abstauber, rename this goddamn hotspot somehow!   

[David Hallowitz]

I've been playing for an hour (no kidding), and I cannot get past the arcade sequence.

Spoiler

I mean, give me a break, I haven't seen this much cheap-ass action crap since the early days of 8-bit nintendo games. I've been playing games all my life and this is really tough. Way too many enemies and projectiles!

Why the hell does she scream "OUCH" and the game pauses whenever she gets hit? What is up with that? Why does the plan suddenly transport back to the bottom center of the screen after it gets hit? Why isn't the plane invincible for a few seconds after it gets damaged, like in almost all arcade-style games?

These elements make the sequence pretty difficult and frustrating. Can we just skip past this garbage please? I mean, I play adventure games to get away from this action crap.

The shooting part isn't perfect, probably due to the quick development time. I suspect most of the issues are due to the original code being designed for a 1-hit death style of game. However it's pretty easy by all standards providing you kill things quick enough. If not......there's a difficultly slider in the options to tone it down for the 10 thumbed folks.

Argh, that is not possible in AGS And after I realised, that you can't rename hotspots, it was alread too late to switch over to objects.

Spoiler

That's why Stanley tells you, he placed the dog in front of the broken part. But yes, it's still awkward.

@David Hallowitz
Sorry that I gave you such a hard time. You may have noticed, that the projectiles are also being removed after you get hit. Doing some kind of shield has been planned, but I couldn't implement it until deadline. But there still is the easy mode. Which makes it a lot easier... trust me. Just make sure, you have 1.02 installed for the extra easieness

@Victor
Exactly

[Ewianes]

I gave the rodent to rufus, but in spite of that i can´t walk behind the fence. ??

I just had the same problem. Simply right-click the fence.

Thanks. After finding your notes, I found the difficulty setting and switched it to easy, then beat the stage very quickly. Thanks a bunch.

@mr.matti

right klick on thefence also doesn´t work *snief

[abstauber]

@Ewianes
in rare cases you can't get past Rufus, no matter what you do.
I've uploaded a new version, in which that bug has been removed.

Sorry about this bug and the waste of time it has caused you (and possibly others). Anyway version 1.1 also has a much more polished arcade part, so if you have the time and bandwidth, please re-download the 15 MB. (pretty please )

@dirk

Du sprichst Deutsch, oder?

Ich habe die neuere Version installiert, aber jetzt fehlt plötzlich eine Dialogoption mit Stanley,ohne die ich vermutlich nicht weiterkomme.

Hmm.

Schade, dass das alles neicht so funzt, das Spiel hat eine sehr hübsche Grafik und ansprechende Story.

[Ewianes]

Ach, wahrscheinlich bin ich einfach zu blöd die anderen haben es ja auch geschafft
