Title: Skytower Rescue
Post by: sthomannch on Wed 22/11/2006 03:18:32
Funny game, even the violent part is a joke :-) But I got stuck now.
Spoiler

Need gas for the pump at the barn but I don't find any

Ahh well you see...
Spoiler
As you already know since you already completed the demo, it does nothing, just a bit of a red herring

Right! And it took me a while until I gave up on this red herring. Good idea!

I'm stuck quite early on...

Spoiler

I have the components of the unicycle (banana, pizza, stick) but can't work out how to put them together... the stick is too thick and I don't have any way of attaching the stick to the banana.
[close]

Any hints, please?

Ahh well...
Spoiler
You need to explore more, there are plenty of things to look see, and find.

Hm, thanks for that, Alynn... I wouldn't be posting here if I hadn't tried everything I could think of. Anyone have a more helpful tip?

Well since you seem to need to be hand fed.
Spoiler
Check out the barn, the well, the flowered field
[close]

and if that still wasn't enough
Spoiler
go to the barn, talk to the horse
[close]

Spoiler
And just so you know I never give anything away the first time, if you only had those 3 items then you couldn't have possibly tried everything, or been everywhere to try those things.

Ah, now I'm sure I would have investigated these if I'd been there. Where are they, please?

Spoiler

I can only get to the house, the yard, the path between the trees where Roman is, the edge of the water and the palm tree with the monkey in it.

Not to worry, I've found the barn. I thought the path only went round to the right. I didn't realise that was a T-junction there.

Post by: paolo on Thu 30/11/2006 14:13:56
OK, I've got a lot further now. Hopefully I won't look like a complete n00b if I say I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I have almost everything I need for the unicycle: pizza, wire and horseshoe attached; banana and stick attached; two pieces of rope; petals/pedals.

Looks like I need something else though.

Maybe the little man will give me what I need. He wants something golden - I assume he means the hay, but I can't climb the ladder to get up there and get some.
[close]

Any hints? Thanks.

Post by: Alynn on Thu 30/11/2006 14:49:37
The good news is...
Spoiler
You have done me a great service by finding a walking death that I hadn't eliminated.

However the bad news is, it is a walking death. Hopefully you have a save before you used the rope with the banana.

In other words the banana is what he is looking for.

I appologize for any issues this may have caused you.

Ah, good. Thanks. So you have a little bug to fix...
Title: Re: Skytower Rescue
Post by: paolo on Thu 30/11/2006 18:56:27
Stuck again, I'm afraid...

Spoiler

How do I attach the petals to the axle?

And was squashing the little man gratuitous or does it serve some later purpose, I wonder...

Title: Re: Skytower Rescue
Post by: Alynn on Thu 30/11/2006 19:47:44
Well...
Spoiler
C'mon, he wasn't annoying enough to not WANT to squish him? :) Don't worry though, since the demo was released I've made him even worse.
Anyway, check out the bottles on the table in the barn, one of them may be of great interest to you.
[close]

and if that wasn't enough of a hint
Spoiler
The lower right side of the bottles, is different than the others when you look at it, it's empty... that one may be able to be picked up.
[close]

Once you have that
Spoiler
Take a look at the bottle, things may become clear then.

OK, thanks for that.

Spoiler

Now I need some purified water. I've already used that to grow the oats so I could get the horseshoe. There is none left in the bucket, I can't seem to get water from the well, from the purifier, from the sea or from the sink in the house, so how am I supposed to get water?

I can't put the bucket back together as I've already used the wire to make the wheel. This isn't another walking death, I hope...
[close]

Ah, no problem...

Spoiler

I see there is a little water left in the bucket. Sorry for not checking that before posting.

Sorry if this sounds Noobish, but how do i get the bananas?
Title: Re: Skytower Rescue
Post by: Alynn on Sat 02/12/2006 16:52:13
Well...
Spoiler
Alynn can't climb the tree, but there is someone near the bananas that can.
[close]

and then
Spoiler
Monkeys tend to throw things when they are mad, perhaps you can make the monkey mad somehow
[close]

And if that wasn't enough
Spoiler
Throw the rock at him.
[close]

Thanks Alynn, that had me going for ages, i'll try it nowÃ,  :P
Great game so far.

EDIT: Sorry, where's the rock...
Title: Re: Skytower Rescue
Post by: Jon on Tue 05/12/2006 18:51:19
Oh and also (sorry for double posting), are you meant to go upstairs or is it just for show?

Title: Re: Skytower Rescue
Post by: Alynn on Wed 06/12/2006 09:46:58
It depends on what upstairs you mean...

But yes, in the house you can, there is a hotspot at the top of the stairs, click walk on it. Just the opposite to go back down.
Title: Re: Skytower Rescue
Post by: Jon on Thu 07/12/2006 13:42:21
Sorry but i'm stuck again :S

Spoiler
I've found how to make the glue and put it on the pedals, but how do I attatch the pedals to the unicycle, I have the pizza and wire, and the upper half, and some other items which I think are irrelevent
Spoiler


EDIT: Sorry, I should've read the earlier posts.
I've been stuck for hours on the code thing, could I just have the answer, I know that there is a pattern but I just can't understand it!

Soft Hint
Spoiler
It only takes 17 button presses, that hint is given during the intro
[close]
And for the complete answer
Spoiler
1,5,20,25,1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25

Numbers are from left to right, top to bottom.

One tip with this sort of puzzle: make your moves symmetrically. So, for example, when you click one corner, click the other three corners too. This makes it easier to see what to do next and when you are getting close to the answer, and also to undo any mistakes you make.

     I need some help.... I am playing the updated version of the demo and I am really quite stuck....

Spoiler
I have a stick, bananna, pizza, letter, feedbag (made from sack and belt), I planted the oats in the empty spot in the field and tried to offer the bananna to the little man but he would not take it, I think I need the hay but I can't get up there; I might have another item or so but I don't remember righ t now... I also can't get the bucket and water from the well.....

Spoiler
Did you use the handle to crank the bucket up the well?
[close]

Apologies for being gone... You know familiy and stuff for the holidays.
