anyone please tell me the code for the computer... I think the postcard numbers or either the three simbols on the computer screen mean something, but I tried a lot of combinations and don´t get the password... help.... thanks a lot

Hint:

Spoiler

There is an object in the room that contains the three symbols also listed on the computer screen. You need to find it and look at it for the password.

I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I can't figure out how to capture the gumball.  I've moved the cell phone, picture frame, beaker, and gumball machine but nothing has worked.  I also can't get to the top shelf with the fan and the crack in the wall.  So far I've created the white acid and picked up the necklace and vase, but am not sure what to do with any of them.

[close]

I am also stuck in the same place as Guest. Anyone know how to get past it?

@Guest

Spoiler

Try using the white acid on different objects.

[close]

I'm not sure how to get the gumball machine to give out gumballs - if I'm supposed to use money, I can't find any.

Thanks for the hint, JBurger....

Spoiler

For some reason, it hadn't occurred to me to fill one of the test tubes with acid.

[close]

@shadyhtown

Spoiler

Check the lab coat hanging on the wall.

[close]

Guest: not sure if you still need the help but...

Spoiler

you're not supposed to be capturing the gumball. if you have audbot talk to tallbot or strongbot (he gives hints) he says they probably can't stop the ball from rolling off the desk. You're going to be rolling the gumball somewhere where it might be useful...

further hint:

Spoiler

how about the place where you used the acid?

[close]

[close]

Thankyou.

Spoiler

Found my solution, I couldn't use the acid because I hadn't read the postcard. Just did that and then I was able to use the acid.

[close]

I myself am having trouble getting the

Spoiler

white acid

[close]

.

Judging from the diagrams and instructions in the book, it would seem that I need to

Spoiler

dump two vials of blue and two of red into the beaker and mix to get the purple (incensium), heat it up with hotbot, and afterwards add one vial of yellow (rockon).

[close]

However, doing so just gives me an ugly brown liquid.  Clearly I'm misinterpretting the puzzle.  What am I supposed to do?

@Storygamer

Spoiler

I think you are on the right track. Pay close attention to the recipe, as I think the order is of critical importance. In particular, note the exact times you need to heat it up and mix ingredients.

[close]

@Storygamer: There is an easy way to get the purple incensium- though I'm not sure it is simply a glitch or if Ivy meant it to happen that way.

Spoiler

Try simply having hotbot heat up the empty beaker- notice the color of the resulting liquid?

Also, if you're getting incensium through the method Ivy probably meant you to (mixing), don't forget your simple math: If you have one vial of blue liquid and one vial of red liquid, how much of each liquid would you mix together to get one vial of purple liquid? Surely if you dumped the entire contents of both vials into a third vial, the vial would overflow- indeed if you mixed one vial blue and one vial red, wouldn't you get two vials purple? And by the same logic, half a vial blue plus half a vial red should equal one vial purple, right?

Lastly, don't forget to boil!

[close]

Help...

Spoiler

I've followed the second recipe, but the robots didn't comment on it and I don't have a clue how to outfit them with parachutes.

[close]

Are you sure you followed it correctly (in the correct order and correct amounts)? What steps did you follow? Check out my hint in the post above yours- it applies to the second recipe.

Also,

Spoiler

The parachuting/flying has to do with succeeding in making the second recipe as well.

[close]

Oy vey, piper!  You found a pretty big bug there!  :o

Spoiler

Heating the empty beaker is absolutely not supposed to result in a purple chemical!  ARG!  I wonder when that started happening, as it certainly didn't used to do that...

[close]

Thanks for spotting that.  Unfortunately, I'm about to hop on a plane and have no time to fix it!  I'll have to fix that bug when I get back next week.

Okay, I tried:

Spoiler

one vial of blue, then one of red, then mix, then hotbot heats, then one of yellow.  The result is some kind of ugly brown, not white.

[close]

So even with the correct amounts (thanks piper for pointing out that my previous amounts were double what I needed), I still seem to have failed.

Also, piper's glitch only seems to work halfway for me.  When I try to add the last ingredient, Chembot says "I need to mix it first".  So I tell her to jump in and mix it...and the stuff turns brown again :).

hm....strange, Chembot didn't say she had to mix it when I used the glitch way- only when I try to get a sample in a test tube. EDIT: just tried it again and Chembot still didn't tell me she had to mix it.

Also,

Spoiler

You forgot the last step-check the recipe again. ;)

[close]

Not sure if this is a dead end or if I'm just missing something, but...

Spoiler

Once Chembot has picked up the test tube of glitter, there doesn't seem to be any way to put it down again (or hand it to another nanobot).  So if you mess up the formula for the floating chemical, there doesn't seem to be any way to pick up the colored test tubes to make a new formula.

I haven't finished the game yet, so I'm hoping this isn't a problem later in the game if Chembot needs to pick up something else....

[close]

I found a small bug:

Spoiler

When Brainbot has the peace necklace, if you try clicking it on the postcard, he says that he doesn't want to pour acid on the postcard, as it might damage it.  I think that's supposed to be Chembot's response, and it got crossed over somehow.

[close]

And my request for guidance: :)

Spoiler

I've tried using the white acid on everything on the entire desk, and I can't read the postcard.  What do I doooo?  ???

[close]

@Guest: It can be a dead end-

Spoiler

If you pick up the glitter before beginning to create the second mixture and you had the test tubes on the wall refilled because then there is no way for Chembot to switch test tubes because no one else can handle full test tubes.

Here's the workaround- you can ensure that Chembot will be able to start over again by having a different bot pick up one of the empty test tubes from the rack (one of the ones that contained chemicals already used in the mixture) since the other bots can handle empty test tubes but not full ones. Now, with one spot on the rack free, Chembot can put the glitter test tube down. To make sure the blue and yellow tubes get refilled, simply empty the red chemical (which is the only unused one in the second recipe) into the beaker and put the glitter test tube into the spot where the red test tube was. Now, when you refill the tubes, only the blue and yellow chemicals will refill.

[close]

@Strange Visitor:

Postcard:

Spoiler

Take another look at that postcard. Notice something in the lower left corner?

Hmmm.....a blue test tube, what could that mean?


Pour the blue chemical on the postcard.

[close]

Acid:

Spoiler

The answer to this one stems straight from the contents of the postcard.


Now that you know there's something in the crack on the far wall (behind the fan, how are you going to get up there?


One of the bots mentioned the shelf was too high. If you use Audbot to talk to the other bots (he gives hints) he says maybe they can get through from a lower point. Hmmm.....what's below the shelf?

Wasn't there something that doesn't work on the wall?


Pour the acid on the lower (nonworking) outlet.

[close]

Finished it.  Good game.

@piperhcombs:

Spoiler

Thanks for the tip.  Actually, even if you have all the test tubes filled it's not a dead end because you can have one of the other bots pick up a filled tube to have it explode and get replaced with an empty one.

That is true. probably should've realized that since I had tallbot pick up one before I started the acid recipe.

Got it.. thanks

Still struggling with gumball. How do I get it to roll in the hole I made with acid?

Spoiler

Have you tried moving around the objects on the counter?

[close]

Yeah, thanks piperhcombs, I'm through.
Odd:

Spoiler

When mixing the first recipe, it didn't occur to me that 1 blue and 1 red already result in 2 purple. The thing is I poured 2 red and 2 blue in there and it still worked.
However, the second recipe is supposed to contain 2 green, but this time, using 2 yellow and 2 blue _doesn't_ work.

[close]

Hey guys, yup, there are two pretty significant but not gamestopping bugs left in there relating to the creation of the acid.

Spoiler

When you do the first boil, no matter how much purple you have in there, (2, 4, zero!!) it always results in the right amount, so that when you add the yellow and boil, it will create the acid.  I know exactly what I did wrong, even though I don't have access to my code right now.  D'oh! 

Thanks to everybody who has pointed this out.  It's the first bug that's slipped past one of my releases!   :=

[close]

I am not able to find the recipe for Acid, where do I find? Thanks.

@dfordead: Take a look at the books....

Ok, I'm stuck now! I've got up to the glitter...but how do I get down?

Guest:

Spoiler

There's a bot who can talk to anybody.

[close]

@Guest:

cont'd from KhrisMUC if you need further guidance:

Spoiler

he could even talk to animals.

[close]

Is it the order of the books or should I use brain bot to read one. I am stuck here like for ever please help.

dfordead:

Spoiler

Use Strongbot to push the books. Then use Brainbot to read the chemistry book.

[close]

dfordead:

Spoiler

Actually, you don't need to push the books first, as Khris suggested, but you do need to hear about the acid before brainbot will be able to find it in the chemistry book.

To do that:

I there someone you could call?

[close]

i tried that, my brainbot just says that:

Spoiler

it needs hours to analyze the book, and a better plan is needed... It doesn't reveal the recipe.

Take a good look at that picture.



Don't know how to talk to her? Which robot is the best candidate for talking?

Ok that worked. How do I

Spoiler

lift the balloon of the table? I guess I am almost there.

[close]

@dfordead:

Spoiler

you'll need to use the acid you made first. You're not getting up on that high shelf from the other one.

Have you revealed the message on the postcard yet?

[close]

Hi, I think I was not clear.

Spoiler

Actually I got the ballon off the shelf, I followed the second recipe as well, now I have tied the balloon to the chain as well. All that is left is take off. I switched on the fan and placed the mug in front off it.

[close]

No luck.

@dfordead:

Spoiler

Cup attached to balloon and everything? Alright then. Use Audbot to talk to everyone to see what hints he has to give. He will mention that they need some extra lift. Which robot can provide that?


I myself didn't realize it was the robot it turned out to be. I had bring everyone back out of the cup before I found the right robot. The right robot is the one that will use his ability from inside the cup. Make sure everyone's in the cup before you try anything.

[close]

Thanks. I finished the game! Great game.  ;D

Use Tallbot to walk to the pocket, stretch, then pick up the pocket.

QUESTIONS!!:

Spoiler

I have a great handicap.. If strongbot is Sad, and I have to move the gumball dispenser to make him happy, HOW in the hell I can move the gumball dispenser?

Why I can put the tubes with liquids to mix? i don't reach everywhere 'cause Strongbot is no helping to move it...

[close]

Alarconte:

Spoiler

Pull down the peace sign with tallbot, then pick up the flowers with audbot and give them to strongbot.

[close]

Thanks...

Spoiler

How I can do Chembot  take the Second White "gliterring" tube? She says need to know what is it first... I'm I out of answers... No clues from audibot..

[close]

Spoiler

You have to analyze the potion with Brainbot while Chembot stands near (I don't know if the latter is necessary). I got stuck there, too.

[close]

how do you get down from the top shelf on the left?

Spoiler

I had to bring chembot up to pick up the glitter but can't manage to get her (or brainbot) down again since she wont add the mixture to the beaker from that high

[close]

Spoiler

There is someone who could help you down,if you ask nicely

[close]

Spoiler

ok I have attached the necklace to the balloon and mug. The mug now is horizontal. Audbot says we need more lift and to look in the room. I have a feeling this has to do with the fan. but i tried pretty much everything (I guess) and nothing works.. 

[close]

Spoiler

What air floats upwards?

[close]

Piper, I concede that I should not have called them glitches.  I was wrong.

I should have called them accessibility issues.  I don't think the recipes are clear enough, which lead to me misinterpreting them.  Though I may not be the bar for an average gamer, I'm mostly a dolt, I would have to believe that others may have run into the same problems.

I still think the game is adorable and I have played through it a couple times to try out some different things.  Kudos all around! 

Ugh xD I love this game but I found the puzzle really hards...

Spoiler

I make the green potion x2 (2 blue and 2 yellow) and mix
Then I throw one time the vase of coofe,
then I throw gliterring white tube, and the green liquid in the beaker comes to Glitter.
Then I hot with hotbot... Nothing ocurrs.

Maybe the potion is now ready? But I have to do another thing? (I emptied the cup but I don't know to attach necklace or ballon.

If the potion is'nt ready, I think I'm In a dead end 'cause I cant change the glitter tube with anyone to manage others tubes or the vase of coofe.

[close]

@Alarconte: Perhaps you should read over the last two pages of posts....I've already covered your problems:

From the Hints and Tips Forum:
Making the second potion: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=34949.msg457530#msg457530
and the two following posts.
Also, there is a glitch concerning how you make the first potion- you can actually mix double the amount of purple incensium needed and still get the mixture to work. Because of this glitch, those people who made a simple computing logic error (as explained in my post above) carry the same error over into the second potion and thus run into a problem.

Not being able to start over if you mess up the second potion:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=34949.msg457569#msg457569
followed by:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=34949.msg457571#msg457571



Also, both of your problems combined in one post (still from me) on the Completed Games forum thread: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=34941.msg457934#msg457934

Sorry, there's a LOTS and LOTS of hiden and Very little text to my eyes, And although  I searched for the second recipe solution, I was'nt been capable of find the correct answer.

I think your game needs a walktrougth, Or you can wait and see the number of pages finally got this post xD

a few posts up and I think one page back as well. However, the answer/hints given are a little vague, so I'll repost.

There's one robot that can get the job. That robot is one willing to use his ability from inside the mug.



One last hint: what kind of air rises?

Make sure everyone's in the mug before you do anything.

You're on the right track.

Look at the clock again- note where the hands are (and the fact that there are symbols instead of numbers.


Take a good a look at the desktop background on the computer (the picture on the screen).


Notice the symbols?
