I just started and I'm already stuck :-(
Spoiler
I'm just outside the cell, with a metal thing floating above my head. I tried everything with everything I could find, to no avail.
I have no idea what to do.
Think about your special abilities, and then think about where you need to get to leave this area (the door Mike went out through).
Slight hint:
Spoiler
You might want to use the floating metal plate, since you can control it.
Slightly bigger hint (non spoiler still):
Spoiler
To use it, you need to be sort of near the thing you want to get to.
Hint (spoiler):
Spoiler
You need to be standing in a certain area by the platform/door in order to re-use your powers on the plate.
Solution:
Spoiler
Walk down the incline until you get to the bottom of the little hill, in the shadows to the right of the platform. Use your Powers icon on the plate to get it to settle on the ground and turn into an elevator. If it says you aren't close enough, keep moving left a little bit at a time until you can do it. Once the metal plate is laid down, use your powers on it to levitate up like an elevator.
Hope it helps, and hope you like my game!

Thanks, this one helped.
Spoiler
I somewhat expected this to be the solution, and I had already tried many places, but I couldn't find the right spot. Even after reading your instructions I had to try a couple times. Maybe it could be a bit more lenient?
Thanks for the game!
It could be anywhere, literally (initially it was), but it looked really wonky when activated, and the floating plate just hung in the air where you were when you clicked. Once you got to the "sweet spot" it would come and catch up.
I didn't like the way it was, but when the walk to script was activated, it would trump the repeatedly execute script, stopping the metal plate from following you.
I might retool it in the future, but that is it for now :)

I can't find code for electronic keypad on attic door. It says I *could* use my power on it, but it's better to find the code. :(
I'm also stuck with
Spoiler
bowling pins in the bowling lane. I know there is a magnetic field here, but I can't do anything about it. I can't even use my power. ???
BTW, I love all your hummings and kachinks etc. ;D

If you can't find the code, then you haven't progressed far enough :)
One quick hint though, the code is directly related to the part below you mentioned having problems with :)

Yup, the magnetic fields aren't strong enough to use your abilities. You need to find another way to.. examine or explore or whatever you want to call it, that area.
Hints (1 is basic, 2 builds upon 1, 3 builds on 2, etc, etc)
Hint 1:
Spoiler
Have you explored upstairs?
Hint 2
Spoiler
Have you been threatened yet?
Hint 3
Spoiler
After you are threatened, have you explored further?
Hint 4
Spoiler
Have you seen any good books lately?
Hint 5
Spoiler
It looks like someone was reading a book and left it on that table in the library.
Hint 6
Spoiler
Who is the author of the book, and might there be more books by that person?
Hint 7
Spoiler
Are there maybe TWO books by that author?
FLAT OUT SOLUTION:
Spoiler
Get the threatening note from your room, then you can head next door to the library and see that someone was reading a book. Check the book for the author, and then look for more books from that author on the bookshelf. Look for a 2nd book. Enter the secret door.
That will get you what you need to solve the puzzle mentioned above:
Spoiler
The bowling pins

Thanks! :) It was a lot of fun.
-Bill
Ok, what the hell?! This is so frustrating. I can even exit the cell, the hinges are off but now what? I have tried every combination, what does "loosen the door" mean? Help, please, I'm retarded.
Ahh, thanks Poc301. :)
I had
Spoiler
seen book in the library, but hadn't thought to check bookcase again, for another book by the same author. ;)
Now I am in
Spoiler
the secret room in the library. I got remote control from the desk - CLICK. Lol. ;D
Thanks.

Hehe, it is set in it's frame nice and snug.
You need to loosen it, like you said. How would someone go about doing that? Maybe with an object of some sort?
Do you see anything else in the room which might be useful in helping you out?
Hint:
Spoiler
Maybe something metal, like a floor grate?
SOLUTION:
Spoiler
There is a floor grate in the shadows near the wall on the right side of your screen. Maybe if you used your powers on it, you might get something to loosen the door enough to use your powers on it again (once the hinges are removed also).
Thanks,
Bill
Glad to help, Frodo! I tried to make the puzzles as logical as possible, but my wife always tells me there is something wrong with me... So I can understand :) You should see me try to play charades hahah.

Thanks.
CLICK! :) I had some fun recording the sound effects and music. I'll probably never do another game like this, sound-wise, so I had fun while I could.
-Bill
Thanks poc301, I didn't see it at all, I still don't see it. I've even tried clicking all over the screen, guess I missed it. I know I should play the game full screen but at 640x400 I don't see the whole image, so it wouldn't matter anyway. :P
You can always adjust the video settings if you like.
But I started a new game and screenshot the opening cell. I circled the grate.

Hope it helps :)
-Bill
Good game, I managed to beat it.
Worked nicely for me, I noticed one typo towards the beginning.
Different music in every room, nice beats and Easter eggs. :) Not sure how you made the songs, sounds like you blended two different rhythms together. Good job.
Thanks :)
For some of the songs, I recorded myself humming, then another going like "tss tss tss" for drums, and maybe a higher toned "dum dum dum" and then mixed them into a single track with Audacity :)
-Bill
Oh, you didn't have to do that, but thanks anyway ;D, yeah I found it by randomly clicking on the right of the door.
The music had me LOLing from the begining, brilliant.
I am stuck in the screen room with Mike's body. Where do I get the item that will fit in the indentation to open the door?
Never mind. I figured it out! ;D
I'm stuck trying to get across the pit... any hints?

I'm stuck trying to get across the pit... any hints?
Hint 1:
Spoiler
Go to the last place you'd want to go...
Hint 2:
Spoiler
It's back to the start for you. Oh, and don't be lazy, you need to visit a few friends while you're there.
Hint 3:
Spoiler
You need something metallic to use as a bridge. Remember the iron bar you're carrying with you came from something larger? For some reason you didn't want to take it back then, but now you'll be happy to.
Solution:
Spoiler
Go back to your cell. Use your power on the grate. Then visit the other three cells, rinse and repeat. I'm sure you'll figure it out from here.
Thanks! I'd gone that direction before, but not far enough. :)
Now stuck in the computer room
Spoiler
where I'm supposed to watch a video? But the video system has been wiped.
Finished! I enjoyed this one. :) A good challenge.
(Sorry for the multiple posting and wrong spoiler tags.... )
Uh, I'm stuck in the video room:
Spoiler
I am pretty sure I have to put something in the box to open the steel door. I haven't seen an object of that shape yet, so my guess is that I have to use all the metal objects in my inventory to make it. I am guessing I need to use my powers to bend metal or something, or maybe put the parts in the oven to heat them up first, but none of that has worked. Help?

Did you pick up the fork in the kitchen?

CoolGuy
Spoiler
Did you pick up the fork in the kitchen?
Okay, I got it when you said that. It's a bit confusing because
Spoiler
"Use" somehow means "Power" when it's in your inventory, yet they are different elsewhere? Ah well. Thanks.
Yeah, in the inventory, the Use button is universal. I tried to explain that in the readme file manual that comes with the game, but apparently it wasn't too clear since you aren't the first person to mention this. I didn't want to have a bunch of buttons in the inventory screen. I was going for simplicity and ease of use over having a bunch of buttons and stuff.
Glad you got it though :)

help please
Spoiler
I got the note saying go back to computer room to watch video. If I click on Mona Lisa I can only kill the blonde guy and then I die, SO I rekcon watching the video is gonna make me realize I have to kill the butler. But how CAN I see the video? the computer room is in the same state

Not quite..
Information :
Spoiler
The final note means nothing. Initially, when the contest was just a plain and simple contest, Mr. Danger had the video as a clue for you to find his final hiding place. However, when the butler kidnapped him and began killing people to steal the money, he also wiped the video footage.
So, you were in the correct place.
Info:
Spoiler
If the butler was behind it, you need to attack him instead of Randy. Just clicking either the hinges or the metal bar on the butler instead of Randy will get you begun on the end-game sequence for the 'good' or 'correct' ending. It sounds like you already got the 'bad' or 'incorrect' ending for the game :)
I tried to make all that info as clear as possible in the end sequence, but maybe I should have been clearer during the game itself so people didn't wonder about that note...
Hope it helps, and thanks for playing my game!

Hi..i need help ,plz/I use the fork on the box to open the heavy steel door on the left ,
but there is no door o the left! ???
I cant even walk to the left!
Is it bug?
Help is needed,plz :)
Thanks
(http://s51.radikal.ru/i133/0906/18/796bc03f4fae.jpg)
its OK///I GOT IT-I WAS LOOKING FOR BIG Door to enter !
Thanks...) :) :)
Help. I am outside the cell but cannot get up onto the platform. There is no metal anywhere so I cannot use my powers.
Yes there is.. ;-)
Spoiler
Walk all the way to the right (there's a next screen). You can find a metal plate there.
I'm stuck there to.
Spoiler
I got the metal over my head. What now?
OK:
Spoiler
At the end, past the cellars, you find a metal plate agianst the wall.
Use your power on the plate to hover it and go back to the platform on the left side.
Walk to where the slope ends and use the power on the plate again to put it down
Thanx Leon (http://gamesolutions.efzeven.nl)
Great game - Is there just 2 endings?
yep
Okay I'm in the weird room with the bright colors and I cannot figure out what to do next.
You need to open the black box. Note the wiring leading to the box.
Spoiler
Look at the three objects and make them 'disappear' in their background using the bucket and the color tubes.
The specifics to solve this:
Spoiler
The white panel is agains a purple background. Pick up the bucket and use the bucket on the blue paint tube. Use the bucket filled with paint on the white panel to make it blue. Use the empty bucket with the red paint tube to fill the bucket again and use the red paint in the bucket on the blue panel to make it purple. The first light on the black box lights up.
The brown snowman is standing in a yellow puddle on a green floor. Use the bucket on the blue tube and use the filled bucket with blue paint on the snowman to turn the yellow puddle green. The second light on the black box will turn on. The yellow bomb is against an orange background. Use the bucket with the red hose to fill the bucket and use the bucket on the yellow bomb to make it orange.
Thanks for the help! Great game!
