Adventure Game Studio

I am almost at the end.

I'm stuck because

Spoiler

I need to find a way to increase the power

I must have used every command on every item in the room 100 times by now...

Any hints?

"pick up" under bed several times, until you have a hair brush in the inventory

Finished the game. I don't think I would ever have guessed that. Still doesn't make a lot of sense but oh well...

Thank you!

Hi Shadow,

thanks for playing the game :)
Concerning the hints. Did you find it not reasonable to

Spoiler

"pick up" under bed several times, until you have a hair brush in the inventory

[close]

or

Spoiler

clean the keyboard

[close]

or

Spoiler

put the potato chips in front of the hamster

[close]

?
I have to admit that I found the first thing a bit unreasonable myself, but

Spoiler

I didn't want to use look because I thought that's too straightforward. Also picking up once was supposed to be in a way that suggests that she didn't want to be longer under the bed because of the coughs and it might be worth trying it out again...

[close]

But I thought number 2 and 3 are fine. Would you have preferred to

Spoiler

a) get the items by looking under the bed or
b) get the brush immediately when looking under the bed (i.e. not necessary to do repetitions) or
c) get the brush immediately when picking up under the bed (i.e. not necessary to do repetitions)

I also thought about calling the button "pick up/search", but that didn't fit

[close]

Did you think the other puzzles were reasonable?

Thanks,
Basti

What I found illogical was to

Spoiler

pick up under bed

[close]

. I still can't see why that makes sense. How do you pick up an area of the room? I didn't have an issue that you had to do it several times until exhausted or what you had to do with the item you find there. I agree that Look is too obvious but maybe there could have been another way to make it challenging to find the required item that's more logical.

Other than that, it was a GREAT first game and fun to play, so thank you and congrats!
