just started playing this good game and stuck, I have the toadstall, disks. noseglasses and shovel but cant do anything now, cant get past the guard and need help thank you
Hi, I'm stuck at the exact same point, if you know anything new, give me a hint
No need. I figured that if you talk to the witch(wake her) then you get over the bridge
how to get out of the prison ? i'm stuck there.
Get out of prison:
Spoiler
Knock the guard down!
Dunno if it's essential or just an easter-egg:
Spoiler
Use the pot on yourself. :-)
How do you find the clue that gets into the house of thieves?

How do you find the clue that gets into the house of thieves?
by finding buzz again, passing him on Walter's bar map, and hiding on the map with the thief house. You'll get the password ^^
How do i get past the owl on the wizards grave?
How do I get the barrel off the trap door?

How do I get the barrel off the trap door?
Spoiler
put the wine bottle on the barrel then find loose stone
Nothing happens when I put the bottle on the barrel and I can't find the loose stone.
CosmoQueen
Spoiler
The bottle is not heavy enough, so fill it with wine from the barrel in the background
Oh my gosh DUH! I don't know how I missed something so simple! LOL Now to find that key..........
Greetings!
[spoilers] I am stuck at the start of the game. I have escaped from prison, and found the password to the Thief Store out, but now I don't know what to do at all. Any suggestions?
The next thing you can do is deal with the
Spoiler
gnome
.
Step-by-step hints follow; you can just keep uncovering one at a time till you're no longer stuck.
Spoiler
He won't talk to you; you're going to have to stop him. Maybe if you trapped him somehow?
Spoiler
Well, one way of trapping him might be to dig a pit.
Spoiler
Look around for a spot of "Ground" on the screen.
Spoiler
It's a little left of the center of the screen.
Spoiler
Well, he's not going to fall into a pit that's just sitting there obviously in the open.
Spoiler
Cover the pit with grass.
Spoiler
(If you don't have grass, you can get it from the site of the abandoned building... look for a bit of grass that's moving slightly. You can take that.)
Spoiler
Still not enough? Put a few leaves on too.
Spoiler
(You can get leaves at the Gnome Cemetery.)
Spoiler
Okay, the trap is set, but you need bait.
Spoiler
Put a nut on the trap.
Spoiler
(You can get a nut at the Gnome Cemetery too.)
Spoiler
Well, Jimmy said he should hide. So... hide!
Spoiler
(Go behind the tree.)
Now, see if you can take it from there...
still nobody know how to unprotect the cassette ?
i tried so much stuff, and it seems i forgot something somewhere, i really want to get rid that
Spoiler
guarding owl,
Spoiler
i just need to record that riff.
Take the piece of tape on the mermaid poster in the house and use it on cassette. It's not the riff you have to record...it's something else... ;)
I don't know if this is the appropriate question to ask it here, but whatever 8)
after the gnomes' cemetery I became a small sized guy, is it okay? ???
how to get my normal size back?
it is reeaaaly frustrating to see a little guy walk in a slow pace

Again, uncover one hint at a time until you're no longer stuck:
Spoiler
You don't actually have to get past the fairy. You just need to get the fruit. You can do that without stepping past the toadstools.
Spoiler
You should have picked up three items from Professor Brown's house. If you haven't, you'll need those first.
Spoiler
The three items are a hollow stick (left side of screen, near the fireplace), the batteries (on the desk), and a portable vacuum (in the middle drawer on the desk).
Spoiler
The first step is to knock the fruit off the tree.
Spoiler
One of the three items from Professor Brown's house should come in handy here.
Spoiler
Use the hollow stick on the fruit. (That is, on one of the fruit, near the center of the tree, which is its own hotspot... yeah, it's a little bit of a pixel hunt.)
Spoiler
Didn't work? Do you not have the seeds yet? Take the quiz on the screen to the left. (If you get an answer wrong, you can just retake the quiz till you guess right, so you shouldn't really need the answers.)
Spoiler
You can try using the hollow stick on the fairy, too, but it's not recommended. (Well, actually, go ahead and try it, just for fun...)
Spoiler
Okay, the fruit's on the ground, but you still can't reach it from outside the toadstools... or can you?
Spoiler
Suck up the fruit with the vacuum cleaner.
Spoiler
(You'll have to put the batteries in it first... but you knew that, right?)
cant seem to find buzz again, where would i find him?
Quote from: dabigrican on Tue 24/08/2010 00:56:19

Don't know if he always appears in the same place or whether there's some randomization involved, but when I played it I found him the second time
Spoiler
by the door in the tree where Jimmy first emerged after he escaped from jail (just "north" of the room with the gnome).
Greetings again!
I too am stuck at the owl. I have made the tape recordable. May someone point to me what to do next?
Quote from: Nick of All Trades on Wed 25/08/2010 13:57:52

Record something!
If you want more specifics, though, again, uncover a hint at a time until you're not stuck.
Spoiler
Try things close by first... no need to walk farther than you have to.
Spoiler
What you need to record is only a few screens away.
Spoiler
What's nearby that's scary and intimidating?
Spoiler
Use the tape recorder on the troll outside the secret entrance.
Spoiler
When you've done that, go back to the grave and use the tape recorder on the gravestone.
(Admittedly, this was one of the more illogical puzzles; I got it basically by just trying things at random. It sort of makes some sense in retrospect, but it could have been better clued.)
got pipe and fruit,how do i get the pearl?please and thank you
Quote from: mdyoung40 on Thu 26/08/2010 16:38:08
got pipe and fruit,how do i get the pearl?please and thank you
Yeah, that was the last one I got, too. It actually turns out to be the simplest of the three items to get, but unfortunately it involves a pixel hunt, and picking up a very small object it's not obvious you should pick up.
Hints below; uncover one at a time until you're not stuck.
Spoiler
Everything you need is on the same screen.
Spoiler
Look around carefully on the beach scene where the clam is. There's something else you can pick up.
Spoiler
Take the central flag from the sandcastle.
Spoiler
Use the flag on the clam (while it's open).
Spoiler
Now the clam will be propped open, and you should have no trouble taking the pearl.
right there,wow!thanks thanks thanks

Red herring, but if you want them
Spoiler
on several screens there is a hotspot "Ground", as advertised in one of the dialogues. You can dig there and you'll find something, useful or not. I can't remember on which screens.

Not sure if this is really worth hiding, since I'm not revealing any puzzle solutions and I don't think I'm giving away much not already given away by your question, but I'll hide it anyway just in case:
Spoiler
That's... bizarre. It's the one in the house, of course, not on the beach, but I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to put the things in it. As far as I know, if you've talked to the professor you should be able to put the items in the bucket.
Wait -- the professor says "not now"? That reminds me of a bug I ran into... did you talk to the professor in his house, or did you try talking to him on the road before he got there? At first when I played, I tried talking to him on the road before he got to his house, and then he stopped and wouldn't say anything useful; I figured this seemed like a bug, so I restored a saved game from before I talked to the professor on the beach. (I'd forgotten about this bug till this just now reminded me, or I would have mentioned it to the game's creator.) If you talked to the professor too early and he's not in his house, then I'm afraid you'll probably have to restore a saved game, and this time, after the professor leaves the beach, don't talk to him again until he's entered his house. (Unfortunately, that may mean you'll have to gather the items over again, if you got them after talking to the professor... but I guess that's life.)
On the other hand, if he is already in his house, and still won't talk to you... well, then I don't know what to tell you, except that maybe a similar bug occurred, and you may want to try restoring the game to before you first talked to him anyway. In the house, he should talk to you and tell you about his attempts to duplicate the magic paint. If he's not talking to you about that... something's wrong.
Actually, now that you've reminded me of the bug, I think I'll post in the game's thread to mention it to the game's creator.

Oh, don't worry about them yet; you've got a

Uncover one hint at a time until you're no longer stuck:
Spoiler
First of all, follow the gnome!

If you kept following him, he should have run into a hole in the back of the gnome village.

If you stand next to the hole, Jimmy will say something about not being able to fit in there. Is there anyone who might be able to help you with that?

By "that's it" do you mean you're stuck again and want more hints, or just that that's as far as you've gotten so far?
If you don't want more hints, ignore this post, but just in case you do...
The first item you mentioned, a lot of characters talk about, so presumably you already know what it's for.
Spoiler
It allows you to enter the Forest of Perpetual Night (or whatever it's called; don't remember the exact name). (At least, I assume that's what it does because that's what everyone says it does; to be honest, I've never tried entering the forest without it, so I'm not sure what difference it makes.)
The second item... well, frankly, this was one of the puzzles I thought was the most unfair; there really aren't any clues for it (or if there are, I missed them). I did get it, but only by trying items at random, not because there was any particular reason to believe that this should be the right item for it. There's one thing you should have encountered earlier that you know you do need an item for, but there's no clue as to which item you need, and no apparent reason why it should happen to be that one. To be more specific...
Spoiler
You should have encountered someone who was willing to let you have something if you gave him something in return.
Spoiler
I believe his exact words were to make him "an offer I can't refuse".
Spoiler
Have you asked Benny for a fish?
Spoiler
Okay, so if you try giving Benny the piggy bank, he still doesn't accept it... but he does give a response that seems to imply you're on the right track.
Spoiler
How could you change the piggy bank just a little?
Spoiler
Maybe if it were a different color?
Spoiler
Have you found the red paint?
Spoiler
If you haven't found it, it's in the abandoned house north of the thieves' shop.
Spoiler
Use the red paint on the piggy bank, then give the piggy bank to Benny.

Don't worry about things you haven't seen yet -- you'll get to them. If you're at the stage in the game where you're carrying the gnome, you can't get to either of those other things yet. You'll get to them later. (Dr. Brown's house, in particular, you won't see till very near the end of the game.)
As to what to do next... well, something with the gnome, of course!
You can uncover one hint at a time until you're unstuck...
Spoiler
Have you really looked at the abandoned house? (Not the one where you found the red paint; the one you can't get into because the door has no knob.)
Spoiler
In particular, have you looked at the holes in the wall?
Spoiler
If you look at one of them, Jimmy should say something about not being able to fit through... but that he bets the gnome can!

Use the gnome on the hole in the wall.

Hm... have you been to the Indian village? More importantly, have you been
past the Indian village? (If you haven't, go there... it shouldn't be hard to find.)
If you have, and you're still stuck on what to do, then... uncover one hint at a time until you're not stuck...
Spoiler
What you see on the screen past the Indian village should look familiar.
Spoiler
You've seen a totem pole like that before... or almost like that. But there's one important difference.
Spoiler
The other totem pole you saw was missing a tooth. Maybe you should fix that?
Spoiler
Take a tooth from the totem pole past the Indian village. (Unfortunately, it takes a bit of pixel-hunting to find the right tooth.)
Spoiler
OK, now put the tooth in the other totem pole's mouth.
Spoiler
Didn't stick? Well, do you have anything that's sticky?
Spoiler
Use the tropical drink (from the beach scene) on the tooth, then stick it in the totem pole's mouth.
Thanks you very much.... it works for me!!!

Does this post (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=41650.msg551516#msg551516) help you at all?
If not, then to help you I'd have to know more specifically what you have and haven't done and what items you have...
It does help a bit. But I'm still a bit confused as to what my goals are other than to get the compass from the thieves store. Right now I have the shovel, toadstool, Larry 4 disks, knife, sharp bone, keyring, bucket with the paintbrush and the angry Gnome.
I've already followed Buzz to get into the store, escaped from the cave, talked to the gnome guard, talked to the drunk and that's it.
Oh I just remembered to check back at the place I started from. Now I remember I have to find something for the witch to make her feel better and then find her master's grave. And I gotta find something to give the fisherman for a fish.

Actually, the first two goals are really the same, even though the dialogue makes them sound different -- when you find the grave, there's something there to make the witch feel better. And as for the fisherman... yes, eventually you do have to give him something for a fish, and that's actually coming up pretty soon, but you don't have it yet. (And honestly, there's no particular rhyme or reason to what you have to give him; it turns out to be a random item that there's no indication he should want until you try giving to him. But, as I said, it's something you don't have yet anyway.)
But anyway, you say you're carrying the gnome? Ah, then you've already done what I mentioned in the post I linked to above. So then for the next step I think the hints in this post (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=41650.msg552802#msg552802) may help you.
Okay I'm in the house but the gnome can't open the cabinet or reach the rifle. What else is there to do?

Keep looking around. You haven't been everywhere in the house yet.
If you really need further hints, you can uncover one at a time until you're no longer stuck...
Spoiler
Walk under the bed.
Spoiler
If you go far enough under the bed, the gnome should find a key.
Spoiler
The key unlocks the cabinet.
Spoiler
After the cabinet's unlocked, you can interact with it to get some gold coins.
Spoiler
Once you've got the gold, just leave the way you came in. (The rifle is irrelevant.)
Ah! The little bugger got away from me! LOL How do I get him?

That's another question that was answered earlier in the thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=41650.msg552602#msg552602)...
Oh okay! I'm sorry I missed that!
Hey what do I do about the cat he's allergic to?
Quote from: sthomannch on Sun 29/08/2010 16:40:26
Red herring, but if you want them
Spoiler
on several screens there is a hotspot "Ground", as advertised in one of the dialogues. You can dig there and you'll find something, useful or not. I can't remember on which screens.
Do you have a walkthrough from this game :)

Hey what do I do about the cat he's allergic to?
Huh, I've been away for a few days and no one has replied to this... am I the only one who's giving hints about this game?
Anyway, I'll give you one hint at a time until you're no longer stuck:
Spoiler
Have you seen anything around anywhere that might be able to get rid of a cat?
Spoiler
Not necessarily by harming it or scaring it away... in fact, just the opposite.
Spoiler
Maybe something he could feed the cat to get it to leave him alone?
Spoiler
Cats like fish, right?
Spoiler
Have you got a fish from Benny yet?
Spoiler
Okay, so Benny will only give you a fish if you give him something in return... so try giving him something!
Spoiler
To be honest, this was possibly the most random puzzle in the game... there really aren't any hints as to what he'd want. So just try giving him everything at random to see if there's anything he'd like.
Spoiler
He probably won't take anything yet... but there should be one thing he gives a different response to!
Spoiler
If there isn't, maybe you don't have it yet... there's a room with a lot of objects, one of which you obviously need... but there's another object you need from that room too, even though it's not obvious.
Spoiler
Have you bought anything from the thieves' store besides the compass?
Spoiler
Try interacting with other objects. There's something else Jimmy can also buy.
Spoiler
Buy the piggy bank. (Again, this seems to be pretty random... there's no reason to think you need the piggy bank before you try interacting with it. Could have used some better clues here.)
Spoiler
If you try giving the piggy bank to Benny, he doesn't take it, but it does remind him of something, so it looks like you're on the right track. Is there any way you can change the piggy bank a little?
Spoiler
Could you make it a different color, maybe?
Spoiler
Paint the piggy bank red.
Spoiler
(You did get the red paint from the abandoned house north of the thieves' store, right?)
Spoiler
Give the red piggy bank to Benny. Then you can take a fish.
Spoiler
Give the fish to the cat and it will go away and you can get by.
Okay in the lady's house, I can't do anything without her kicking me out. How do I sneak around without getting caught?

Yeah... this was another puzzle that didn't seem all that logical to me, and that I didn't so much solve as stumble through. In fact, I'm still not 100% sure I know what I did to trigger the right cut-scene. But I
think it was the following...
Spoiler
You can't do anything in the house until you've done something somewhere else.
Spoiler
Have you done everything you can elsewhere in the forest?
Spoiler
In particular, have you talked to the guy by the tent? (Eh... he has a name, but I don't remember it.)
Spoiler
No, not just talked to him once; have you really exhausted all his conversation options and heard everything he has to say?
Spoiler
If he's talked to you about his wife, something different should happen the next time the woman catches you in her house...
How can I complete the potion to follow the gnome?

How can I complete the potion to follow the gnome?
This was another puzzle that was pretty much just a guessing game... there aren't really any clues. I happened to guess right on my first try, but it was still just a guess. But anyway, uncover one hint at a time until you're no longer stuck:
Spoiler
Are you carrying anything that you haven't used yet that seems like it could be an ingredient in a potion?
Spoiler
Something poisonous, perhaps?
Spoiler
Use the toadstool on the potion.
Spoiler
If you don't have the toadstool, you can get it from one of the first rooms. I don't remember exactly which room it was in (and don't feel like replaying the game right now to find out), but it was definitely on the left side of the bridge. Pretty sure it was either the barn room, or the room just south of that, though it's possible it was one room farther. Yes, it's a bit annoying because there are so many rocks and bushes and toadstools that you can't do anything with and it just happens there's this one toadstool you do need, but... well, I guess that's just the way it is.
Thanx Alun, I tried to pick up every
Spoiler
toadstool
in every room except in this one.
Hi there,
having fun, playing this nice game!
But I think there's a little bug because I didn't have to solve the fairy-puzzle!?
Spoiler
I put in bucket: pearl + pipe. Then I went to the beach again to get the little flag out of the oyster and .. got another pearl. Then I put this second pearl in the bucket (insteat of the fruit) and this third ingreedient dit it!?!? The Prof. made the painting appear and I could go back!?
I'll start it over from an earlier savegame now but wanted you to know.
Nevertheless: It's a really good made game - thanks a lot for giving it to us!
How do I get past Bub and Bob? I tried the "Spencer Family" key but that didn't work.

You do need the key... but you need it to get something else.
Uncover one hint at a time until you're no longer stuck:
Spoiler
Have you seen any reference to the "Spencer Family" before?
Spoiler
Maybe somewhere in the graveyard?
Spoiler
Go west from the initial graveyard scene and you'll see the Spencer Family Crypt.
Spoiler
Use the key on the door to the crypt and go in.
Spoiler
Once inside, interact with the coffin (if I remember right). You should get a ring.
Spoiler
Go back to the gate, and put the ring in the hole in the right gatepost.
Okay I got it. And I tried to use the monsters voice on the tape recorder to scare the owl on the gravestone like you said but he just says "Hmm I'm not sure?".

Who says "Hmm I'm not sure?" and how are you trying to use it?
[hint]Are you using the tape recorder on the owl? Try using it on the grave instead.[/hint]
Did someone make a walkthrough for this game ?
I have no idea what I am suppose to do with that guitar guy in the cave inside waterfall.
Has anyone hints or walktrough you could share here?

I'm pretty sure that the guitar guy
Spoiler
has no function or use. He's just there. At least I never did anything with him.
By the way, can anyone tell me how the Spencer family puzzle was supposed to be done? I never had do to it as I ran into a bug that allows you to walk right through the solid closed gate without having proved you're a Spencer.
Spoiler
I think you only have exit and reenter the screen after talking to the pumpkins to trigger it. I know the puzzle has to do with the family crypt but where's the key?
I have finally finished the game.
;D
This blond haired Tom Green guitarguy in the cave was just for fun nothing else.
The reason why I was stuck was because the professor didn't walk into the house. He was still in the jungle. No wonder I was always kicked out of the game when tried to shoot him with the seeds with hollow log. I had to restart the game to fix that problem.

Spoiler
You have to go back to the graveyard and go left where the locked crypt house are. Open it with the key marked with Spencer family. You will find the key inside the girl's bedroom's nightstand.
Er... actually, unless there's some randomization involved (which seems unlikely), that answer is incorrect...
Spoiler
The key in the nightstand doesn't go to the crypt. It goes to her diary, found elsewhere in the same room.
The key to the crypt is hanging on a tree elsewhere in the forest, in the room with the guy by the campfire. By now I've forgotten how to distract him so you can take the key, and unless someone really needs to know I don't feel like replaying that part of the game to remind myself, but I think there was a dialogue option that made him look away briefly.

Ummmm...you don't have to go back in the treehouse/jail. Just keep heading left. ;D ;D
Ummm...sorry. duplicate post.
I don't get it.
The dwarf is gone with the money so I can't buy anything yet to bypass the cat...
The problem is I can't find the witch house which should be west/left.
Where exactly is that witch house located??
EDIT:
OK, found it. I forgot you can also go west from the thievery shop, stupid me... ;D
Thanx anyway Tempe-pipercombs
There are a couple of bugs I've encountered:
1. After escaping the prison, you can cross the chasm without getting the board. I'm not sure how that happened, but it did occur to me on one gameplay (but not on another).
2. If you exit the Spencer tomb without getting the ring you can't get back in because Jimmy discarded the ring prior to entry. Either the door needs to remain unlocked or Jimmy shouldn't discard the key. My preference is to have Jimmy respect the dead and lock the door up behind him, but he is a troublemaker after all ;D
I got past Bob and Bub, but for some reason my character can't move up north. In fact, just as I turn right on the path Jimmy gets "stuck". Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Also, there's a house in Medora village with a board blocking entry to a closet. Is that or anything else needed in that room? The first house is unfriendly...am I supposed to do anything to get in?
im having same problem after the bub and bob gate i cannot continue north i get stuck soon as i turn right.
VERY VERY SORRY!!! It happened because someone reported that (s)he could walk right through the gates in the forest without opening it so i added in the code that if jimmy collides with the gate he stops...what happened was that after the gate is opened it blocks the walkable area a little which makes it impossible to walk through. It's fixed now and the new version will be available in a little while. I'll post in the completed games announcement. Damn...all those downloads...oh well. Again...very sorry for that. I never thought about testing it after adding the code. I know better now :D
EDIT
Here's the latest version
