Has anyone started this game? I can't seem to get out of the first screen by the church?
Did you talk to everyone? I mean everyone.
How can I get the coin in the second screen?

SECOND SCREEN????????? LUCKY YOU. HOW DID YOU GET THERE.
I am playing the game and I seem to have got further than you guys so I will try to help some.
Yes it took over an hour for me to download from the medium games section.
Spoiler
You seem to have to talk to everybody a lot, like go back and keep talking to them, anyway after talking to sailor you know he wants to join the ship but can't, so you talk to priest, he wants you to fix the stained glass window, so after he gives you the cross you give it to the seagull by just clicking it somewhere near his feet I think, then go back and talk to priest, he will keep his eye on the seagull for you so you go back to stained glass window and click on it, then give the glass to priest and he will give you document that sailor needs.
When you get to island, talk to crazy man, click on ocean and you will see he has no mirror (shadow) now to get the coin to make a bet with him takes a bit of pixel hunting but you walk into trees and use your knife to cut a branch, also get a mushroom, then take the chain off your cross, I had to lighten my moniter quite a bit to see the stuff in my inventory, you combine the branch with the chain and the mushroom, it makes a fishing rod to get the coin and you use coin with crazy man.
I have managed to get a bit further than this but now I am stuck too so am off to bed so good luck.

Spoiler
I gave the cross to the seagull, so I may not be able to make a fishing rod for coin. And, everytime I try to cut the branch off, it doesn't allow me to. Same with mushroom. This game is crazy......Any hints appreciated. Thank you
Spoiler
Walk into the trees, so you're a bit in the middle of the screen. You should just be able to pick up the branch (it looks like a tree). Use the branch to pick up the hanging bit of lianna, that's stuck up in the tree toward the left of the screen. Pick up the mushroom that's the farthest to the right of the screen. Your cross should be back in your inventory, even though you didn't pick it back up. Use your knife on the cross to cut off the chain. Combine branch, lianna, chain, and mushroom to get the coin.
I did this a couple of hours ago, so hopefully, I'm remembering this right.
I'm stuck trying to get the map from the englishman and frenchman.
Sorry yep I forgot about the
Spoiler
lianna, and I guess I thought I had cut the branch with the knife, I did so much clicking on everything with everything I guess I got confused.
karelimur - looks like you have got further than me now but I haven't been playing since last night so if I get stuck I will be asking you lol

Spoiler
I am in the middle of the ocean. I have tried everything but the one thing I am suppose to do, Blew whistle, nothing. can't get bucket or log floating. How do I get out of here???? Thank you
Rosie
Spoiler
I kept blowing the whistle until I was blue in the face lol but I think I remember putting it over the ocean maybe bottom left corner but not sure, keep blowing it eventually worked for me I didn't get bucket or mast either
ok, I have the coconut sliced in 2, the oil, the rag, the knife, the tobacco, the whistle, the orginal map, and the first piece of map for the forest.
Spoiler
I know the frenchman wants his flag back for the 2nd piece of the map, and the englishman probably wants a drink, but I am clicking around like crazy and can't go any further
Any ideas?
karelimur
Spoiler
I have given up in total frustration, I keep getting stuck in the screen where the french man is, I try to walk out the same way I came in and he just won't go. I reloaded the game a few times and he still won't go. I had already talked to british man, how do you know he wants a drink? Where did you get tobacco and how did you get first piece of map, who has it? I do have one more thing though, a rock, I walked north from where british man is and you meet a man there and there is a rock on the ground beside him. You can talk to him too. Thats how I found out there are 3 pieces of the map. But I think I am giving up as I am totally frustrated, it took me 2 hours just to find out I could walk from the beach over the top of the cave. lol. I don't have a clue what I am doing now especially as I keep getting stuck in the screen where frenchman is. I even tried going back to cave on beach just in case somebody had come back. Soooooo frustrating
Joyce, don't give up, we can do it! :D
Spoiler
I had to keep walking away from the hotspot where you can leave the Frenchman's screen, and just click like crazy in that lower right corner. Try talking to him again, and then walk away. The pirate prisoner has the first piece of map. You need to use the rock you found to sharpen the sword you found in the cave (let me know if you were able to get this). Give this to the prisoner as an escape weapon, and he'll give you the first piece of map. The frenchman tells you later that the englishman is a drunkard, and that he'll give you his piece of map for the flag you stole from him. So, I'm assuming I need to find alcohol, for him to give me the flag? The flag is nowhere in sight. He won't let me walk behind the screen. If I'm missing anything let me know
Joyce,
Spoiler
The tobacco comes from the prisoner pirate also
I've tried giving it to everyone.
Ok got ya My finger hurts from clicking like crazy on the hotspot at that screen but I will keep trying.
did you also tell the frenchman your real name when he asks you? I think this may be a way to get you to where you need to be.
Yes told him my real name. I did what you told me
Spoiler
and I now have the tobacco and first piece of map. Did I pick you up wrong, did you loose your flag because mine is still in my inventory. This game is very frustrating especially as he walks sooo slow. I did the british guy first this time then went to french man, talked to him, picked up the flag and left the screen with no problem this time, maybe there is a bug in the game, who knows.
Well I made the mistake of going back to french man again trying to figure out what to do next and am stuck again trying to leave the screen, there is definitely a bug of some sort. Did you try and pick up the small picture on the wall of french mans house and it says No not now, and if you look at it you get a close up. Can't figure that one out at all but anyway I am stuck trying to get out of screen and I am fed up trying this time. so good luck Maybe I will give it another shot when I am not so frustrated especially when you start game you have to listen to all that with his dying father, can't see any way of avoiding that. anyway good luck, maybe i will give it another shot when i am not so frustrated[/spoiler]

Joyce,

how do you start the game without having to see the whole beginning again. I have tried F5,F7 Tab, Enter, Esc. nothing seems to work. I just want to go to reload but it makes me go all the way through until I get to the pier.
Thank you
Hi Rosie
Yep that is one of the things I was complaining about, having to go through all the scenes with the dying father, starting game, cause ya can't even reload from the screen of the island even though it has a reload written right there, you have to wait till priest stops talking etc before you can reload, so sorry I can't help you. I was so proud of myself for getting as far as I did only to keep getting stuck in one screen on sleepy island and not being able to walk out of it, I gave it a rest for a while. Of course I was stuck with what to do next as well lol, but the getting stuck through no fault of mine is the frustrating part.

Spoiler
Yes, this game has many bugs.....Did what you told me to do about blowing whistle over the water, he called out for some of his friends, but then nothing happened. I am going to try to see if the author has an email so I can find out about the bugs in this game. Thanks for your help.
I agree with you guys. This game is really frustrating. I'm at the same spot as most of you. Can't figure out what to do with the French guy.
Potch
Are you having any problems leaving the screen where the french guy is? I can't go any further because I can't get out of there.
::)I'm on a floating piece of the ship with a Captain's whistle, a map , his knife, a dirty rag ( he blew into it) and some oil. Can't reach the broken mast or leaky pail. Help. Jacquie C.

Spoiler
don't know why i am even hiding this for,
We are all having trouble with this game. must have lots of bugs in it. i am stuck in the same place.
Jacquie and Rosie,
Spoiler
I just thought of something, you've probably done it already,but just in case you haven't - Ã, when you opened the captains box you got a whistle and a piece of paper, think I had to scroll down in inventory before I saw it, maybe you have to read the piece of paper before the whistle will work properly. I did get past that part after blowing the whistle numerous times and I think it finally worked when I put it over the ocean in the bottom part somewhere, an animal of some sort pops his head out and you can talk to him and he finally helps you.
If you get past this then you will be able to join the rest of the "stuck" club in the next part lol.
I just left a message on the completed games forum to tell the creator to get over to hints and tips and see the problems we are having. maybe he can sort us out.

Rosie, did you read my suggestion about reading the note? or had you already done that

[thank you i will try that........[/spoiler]
Im terribly terribly sorry for all yo problems! I didnt know. I know this games has a lot o bugs, but nuthin is perfect. Really sorry, but now:
- To skip the first animation:
Sorry...
- To get away from the floating slag:
Open captains box and use whistle: first on the upper left of the screen, than upper right, lower right and finally lower left.
- To get the cutlass from the rock:
Use knife first...
- To walk away the screen:
didnt know about this problem.
- To drink the englishman:
You have to find these ingredients: kreecha juice, mud, oil, another liquid (try to clean your nose). Btw. have you found Mr. Creek? If not, use your eyes.
Once again - sorry bout that everything. I just tried to do a good game, but I failed. Sorry.
Spoiler
have managed to get out of the frenchman scene by blowing nose on rag. but how do I find Mr Creek? Have seen red eyes in cave but can't do anything with them.
Also I.m geuessing I need to do something with the strange green fruit but what?
You will find Mr. Creek by looking around the Mr. Creek board. (use eyes).
Joyce, I got that leaving the screen problem once, but I just talked to the Frenchman again, and it let me leave. It gets annoying because you can just say the same thing over and over, but at least I could leave.
Ok, I talked to Mr. Creek, and it really got me nowhere.
Talk to him bout Kreecha palm. Two times I think.
I've said everythign I could to him.
Potch
Spoiler
I talked to Mr Creek as well, but still can't get the green fruit, Mr Creek did mention the fruit but when you talk to him again he does't say anything more about it. If you get any further let us know.[/]hide]
Joyce
Spoiler
you need to use something from the inventory to catch the juice from the fruit
Maggie
Spoiler
I have used every item in my inventory on that darn fruit, do you have something I don't have, 2 halves of coconut, original map, tobacco, cross, flag, lst piece of map, oil on botton of jar, whistle, knife. I thought the logical thing would be the coconut but I have clicked everything over that fruit, around that fruit, all over the ground etc and can't get it, this game is very frustrating
Joyce
Spoiler
I used the jar with the oil in on the tree with the large green fruit. I had to click a few times before I found the right spot
I've clicked all over a hundred times, and I still can't get it. I think the owner of this should really write a walkthrough. This game is way too confusing. i'm about ready to delete it.
I have clicked that jar over the fruit on the left a zillion times and I still can't get it I am trying to do it just after talking to Mr. Creek, was there something I was supposed to do first? Mental hospital here I come!!!!
The Sleepy Island â€" so called walktrough
Excuse my English
1 screen â€" harbour â€" you cant leave the screen, try to talk and talk, use the cross not with a bird, but with the mast.
2 screen â€" island and crazy man â€" try to find the old man's mirror, find: branch, liana (hanging down from the tree), mushroom, cut the cross and you have chain, get all these together, you have rod
3 screen â€" ocean â€" whistle with your whistle by using it on the ocean
ISLAND
- look at the rock near the board â€" Mr Creek (talk to him about Kreecha first)
- get the cutlass from the rock
- if you cant leave the screen where the French is (I didnt know bout this)
- about how to drink the Englishman: you have to fill the oil jar with Kreecha (after talking about with Creek â€" later in the game), than with mud and finally with something that comes out of your nose
- THE THING IS THAT YOU HAVE TO TALK TO CREEK ABOUT KREECHA FOR THE SECOND TIME JUST AFTER YOU GOT TO KNOW, THAT THE ENGLISH IS A BIG DRUNKARD. I THINK SO and sorry again, but hopefully it will work
- when the French wont give you the map â€" give him tobacco
Hope thats everything. Sorry.
URGGGHHHHH!!!! I've already DONE all those things. Are you telling me I have to do it in a certain order???? If that's the case, then I'm done with this game. I would have to go back to the beginning to change what I've done, and it just takes WAY too long to get through cut scenes and walk around.
Potch, I was just asking myself the same question, do I have to do things in certain order and just like you I would have to start over because I just can't get the fruit either. I have been trying for hours :'(
I took the big step back, and yes, you do need to do things in that order exactly. Don't talk to Mr Creek at all about the plant until the frenchman tells you the english lord is a drunkard. Go back and talk to Mr Creek. Then the plant will be ready to take the juice from.
I have the whole map now, and have entered the forest.
My cross has mysteriously disappeared now, and I think I need it to proceed.
OK, I finished it. I re-loaded, and my cross was back.
To the game creator,
Is there only one ending to this game? There was something I never used?
karelimur
Please please email me exactly what you did and in what order from when you arrived on sleepy island because no matter what I do I can't get it to work.

splatt44
I feel so stupid, what english men? All I see is frenchman, old pirate and the old guy called Eternity where you got rock.
Do you mean the guys up to the north at the crossroads because I have already went in there. I went back reloaded game starting at the island, did exactly what you said to do and when I went back to talk to Mr Creek the second time there is no option to talk about the plant again. I give up
Joyce
Spoiler
The englishman is in the tent next to the pirate. I had difficulty getting into the tent at first. You need to walk near the opening and the use the hand just inside the opening. try that .
Maggie
Spoiler
Thank you so much. So there is somebody in that tent!!you have no idea how many times I tried getting in there and finally thought well theres nobody in there lol. I even dreamt about this game last night. So now that I know for sure I will try that and hopefully I can get it finished and back to being sane again. I have never been so frustrated in any other game
Well wave the French flag, wave the British flag and whatever else flag you can find because I finally finished this game. Yehhhhhhhh!!!!
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
Joyce
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.

Jacquie
Spoiler
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

after you have asked all the questions, show him the map
Best Willis - thats me - hated author of the Sleepy Island.
I just wish you
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
btw. try - Touche (its a great adventure game)
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.
I cant get the cutless from the rock he I even used oil on it and nothing please help :-[
Nansober
Spoiler
I think you have to use your knife first then the oil
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. :D
Thanks I got the cutless but what stone do I sharpen it on? ???

From the British campsite where the old pirate is sitting, go north
One more question I have everything but the mud for the jar where do I get it? :-[
Spoiler
same area you got the sharpening rock
Me2..any help...please..
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.
Ya,me2..my items vanished,even when i restart Game..so sorry.. ??? ??? :o
