The Sleepy Island

[Joyce]

Well wave the French flag, wave the British flag and whatever else flag you can find because I finally finished this game. Yehhhhhhhh!!!!

[mgstein]

I finally finished. I would not have known about entering the tent  without help.  I just kept clicking around the entrance ( with the boot I think)  Until I got it.
This game is a little buggy but all in all it was pretty good.
Thanks

           Glad you made it. It was a fairly good game but very buggy in parts. I couldn't have completed it without reading previous posts. Cheers till the next game

 ???Stumped,Ã,  the flag I picked up has disappeared from inventory.Ã,  Ã,  Ã, I have a smallpiece of map from pirate , but not the whole third.Ã,  Ã, I can't seem to get the green fruit, and I wonder just what Squeek does for the game?Ã,  I have the tobacco, although I don't know how it showed up in inventory.Ã,  Ã, It's an interesting game but not the least bit easy to track.Ã,  Jacquie.Ã,  Ã,  I did get the sword from stone in cave by pouring oil on it and chipping away with my knife.Ã,  Ã, A little added info.   J.

Have you read all the previous posts in this thread? This game drove me nuts, you have to do things in a certain order because if you don't other things won't happen for you. Don't worry about flag disappearing, if you have been in the tent thats supposed to happen. Squeek does nothing. Read all the posts and if still stuck come back and ask again

I'm afraid the order of actions started to drive me mad and I opted to not complete the game. Which is a shame as there are enjoyable elements to it. I must have restarted playing from the start about 4 times trying to get certain things to happen.

I have used the whistle until the sea creature came out and talked with him about everything but nothing happens then

Best Willis - thats me - hated author of the Sleepy Island.

I just finished Sleepy Island.  I thought it was a good game.  Maybe I was lucky, but I didn't encounter any game killing bugs.  I did things a bit out of order (from what the w/t listed here) yet I managed to finish no problem.

I think Best Willis got a lot of bad words for making the game hard. I think it's wrong.
Yes the game is hard and can be frustrating at times.
But that's the challenge of playing adventure games. If it's too easy there's no satisfaction. I think this game has really cool innovative puzzles and that's great. Only I would advise Best to not use the hotspot searching method next game cos can be really frustrating. (like the exact places you need to whistle on) and not make it so linear that you have to do the actions on the island in certain order. That's what we call "walking dead" and that's not cool.

Thanks ,Joyce, for filling me in on some parts.  I keep looking at this board for help that previous players have asked for Jacquie C.

[Nansober]

Downloaded it and tried to do it without any hints. At first, it was fun and I progressed. On one of the islands though, disaster stroke: Unfortunately, inventory items vanished without any explanation and certain actions could be done if I followed one route, but if I restarted and used a different order of actions, I could not proceed in other places.

I looked up the hints and followed the advise, but then other inventory items just vanished (I call these things bugs and not "puzzles"). The story seems to be good, the graphics are nice, but because the game was so buggy and partly simple pixel hunting, I finally deleted it. Too bad for all the work done on this project.
