Barely Floating

[Fitz]

I'm stuck with a bunch of things:

Spoiler

1. I'm trying to get the bartender to wash his beard, but I can't get shampoo from my room.
2. I tied the rope to the statue and my cabin's door. Guessing it'll knock out the unwanted occupant of my room when he opens the door - but the problem is he won't.
3. I'm guessing the cyan dye will help me get Mohombian currency - but the painter won't let me near it.

Talked to everyone, exhausted all topics available at this time. Not sure what to do now.

2 (and therefore 1 as well) - you're on the right tracks, you need something slippery to help the statue along...

[Fitz]

I don't think I have anything like that. Right now, the only things I have are

Spoiler

the cane, the banknote, the pills, the leaf and the magazine.

Maybe someone would like that magazine

And when he does, you might also be able to do something he wouldn't let you do with a nearby object...

Thanks Got a little further - and now I'm stuck

Spoiler

playing bingo. Figured out I have to change the music on the jukebox, since the one playing is the only one Pex likes - but I have no idea how I do that without getting dismembered

Spoiler

Maybe someone else in the room can help you with the jukebox?

[close]

[Fitz]

I asked

Spoiler

the bartender, the beard creature and Dave, who's standing next to it - and none of them seemed willing to change it. Should I just MAKE them do it, somehow?

[close]

[Stee]

Spoiler

Are you playing a game of bingo, or just plainly annoying Pex for no reason

[close]

No hints solution

Spoiler

ask Nab (the beard creature) to play bingo so that you have a card. go change the jukebox. Watch Pex flip out. Whilst talking to Dave click on the jukebox which should get Dave to help you distract him enough to switch the bingo cards

Did you pull an all nighter on this? 

[Fitz]

Oh, yeah, that seems logical.

And nope, but pretty close Went to sleep at around 3am I blame the washing machine apocalypse from earlier that evening for keeping me up, alert and in constant need of a challenge late into the night. Played Barely Floating, got stuck, posted about it, went on to play Nancy in the meantime, finished Nancy, went back to BF and played till I got stuck, then some more, and posted about it right before I went to sleep at 2:59.

I'm stuck at the very beginning

Spoiler

I'm in the room, got the pills. Can't do anything to anything. The guard just dismisses me. What am I missing?

[close]

[Stee]

Ah, can't exactly remember this

Khris have you

Spoiler

exhausted all dialogue options with Pex? Remember you can clikc on things in the environment whilst in dialogue mode to talk about them

[close]

or

Spoiler

use pills on door

I completely missed that that's possible. No wonder I was stuck. Thanks!

Hi there,
I'm stucked -feels like end of game is near-

Spoiler

Trying to comunnicate with other ships with computer, i get to identify myself and ask for help, when they ask what do i need, i type "hostages free" and then they ask who is responsable for this, tried "captain" and names that i remember from the game.

[close]

No luck so far.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

[CaptainD]

Spoiler

I think this stumped me for a bit until I told them that I was on a Pirate Ship... things then rolled on logically with information you could easily find on the readouts.

This game is just too smart! It needs a walkthrough. Which is a a less self-deprecating way of saying *I* need one Yup, you guessed it - stuck again, and not so far from where I got stuck the last time.

Spoiler

I'm in the freezer/coldroom/what-have-you, and currently fighting Pex with my cane. Exhaused all topics of conversation. Can't grab anything or hit it with a cane -- other than Pex himself, obviously.

[innerdrum]

If you time it well enough, wait until pex throws the extra knife strike, then you can actually hit him with your cane

If you're still stuck, the point to try is when Pex goes "Har har".

Yeah, had to try a bunch of times, but eventually I figured that out.

Actually finished the game, just now I was about to ask for more help, like three times - but managed to figure it out on my own, somehow. Not an easy thing to do with a splitting headache Not from the game itself. It was lots of fun! Definitely difficult -- but everything was logical, in some way or another. I'm just terrible at noticing things, a lot of times. Took me a while to notice the crate with coconuts Also, if Joe says something not possible/not worth doing at the moment without giving a more detailed explanation why, I tend not to try it again -- and that got me stuck a few times. But the hardest part was the karaoke, took me a while to get everything right.

But in the end, that's what I love about adventure games and logic games. Takes more than just running and shooting to get things done. Definitely enjoyed the game It was funny, bitter, very surreal at times -- and featured some nice, complex gameplay mechanics, like talking about everything else in the room.
