Title: Broken Windows Chapter 4! (Last time, I promise.)
Post by: SarahLiz on Wed 03/05/2023 22:08:51
Hello!  I'm on the beach...stumped. 

Spoiler
  I have the balsamic vinegar (don't know how to get it changed into "regular vinegar" for the elderly couple), the sharp tin can, and the boules.  I showed the badge to the little girl, but she still calls me a stranger; I taped up the Wanted Poster so I can talk to people; I dug up the "treasure"; and I need to get the stuff from the fisherman so I can give it to the seagull & scare the nudist (I'm assuming).  What am I missing? 
Spoiler

Spoilers welcome!  The more, the merrier  :grin:

Ah ha! 

Spoiler
no, I had not gotten the magnet yet by clipping the donkey's rope...that finally propelled me forward, phew!
Spoiler

Thanks Shadow!  I finally got past that part on the beach, so we'll see how long it is until I need more help.   :grin:

Well, here I am yet again, stumped again.

Spoiler
  I'm in the little town shopping center and I'm trying to get the shop owner to sell me the hat.  So I apparently need a phone to convince him I'm an influencer (I think the phone is in that claw/prizes machine), and I also need to win the jackpot of coins from the Coin machine.  I was hoping the game would let me just kick it or break into it with my nightstick, but no luck. 

I have in my inventory: set of Boules, sunglasses, Marketing book, 2 pence coin, and net.  What do I do? 
Spoiler

Thanks again in advance!  I hope I'm not missing something obvious...

Shadow 1000, did you happen to do a walkthrough video of this game??  :P

LOL no, I didn't. I just played it and had a great experience  (laugh)

A few tips:
Spoiler
Try examining the area close to the machine and I think there is a wedge that you can kick and make the game play in your favour.

Try giving the marketing book to the hat guy

Ok, thanks for the help!  I was able to get past that little part and pretty much finish the game.  Except...


Spoiler
  When I try to shoot the man (I forget his name) who's holding Linda hostage, I end up shooting her every time.  No matter where I aim at him--his head, his shoulder, his arm, etc. I also tried shooting the microphone (or whatever it was) off to the side, and the game says "Cop goes berzerk and shoots innocent bystanders!"  LOL.  Where are you supposed to aim?  Is it just a pixel-hunt type of thing? 

So I'm not sure WHAT the heck I'm doing wrong.  But either way, I'm just happy I was able to get to what was probably the final scene of the game.  It was a good game!

Ah.  I'm pretty sure I clicked everywhere EXCEPT for that.  D'oh!!   (wrong)

Regardless--thank you for answering all of my questions...not being able to complete a game is infuriating, lol.

Hello Team!

I am stuck too in the beach :-)

Spoiler
I have the balsamic vinegar (don't know either how to get it changed into "regular vinegar" for the elderly couple), the boules, I cut the rope of the donkey, got the magnet, used it on the radio, and I also have the candy floss of the little girl.

What next please?
Many thanks  :wink:

Perhaps it is more fun to use the wrong kind of vinegar and annoy the couple!

Hi Panpil,

You need to get rid of the worker first. Have you spoken to him yet? Have you read the newspaper? (You can right click in inventory to do that.)
Spoiler
Using the newspaper on the worker lets you access his toolbox, where you will obtain a tool to use on the valve.

The rest I'll leave up to you.

Cheers!.
