Finished the game.

Spoiler

Yes, the fan was placed with the 3 wheels and I could not progress... as far as I remember, it only worked out when I moved one lifesaver onto the top right wheel slot. (so you may please test again without any lifesaver on the top right wheel) However, it could be that I noticed another similar effect within the organ room: There we do have two windows, oposite to each other, and on the right one it was impossible to place the table ramp, it only worked on the left one.

[close]

Nice & entertaining... congrats!

UPDATE... I figured it out, BUT...

Spoiler

It was -IS- not quite obviously to me why the lifesavers need to be placed onto specific places. There are 4 wheel spots in total and just only because I did not place them on the RIGHT 3 wheels, I could not progress. Also there was no clue for placing or swap them into the other wheel slots.

[close]

Well, guess I can progress now... Nice game, that I really enjoy so far, except for this small misleading feature. And thanks for your kind support!

Hmm... I've:

Spoiler

Got the 3 life preservers and fan fixed to the buggy, made a magnet to get the real quarter, fixed the cover and pipe to the table, used duct tape to fix the pipe and screws to fix the cover, but I can't work out what to do next.  Can't cut out from the cover, won't remove it... still says the air hockey table is on, not sure what else I need to do?

[close]

Did you

Spoiler

smash the window?

[close]

SHADOW

I already

Spoiler

smashed the window and the pipe is outside connected to the air hockey but cannot figure out what to to next. He always keeps sayings that its not the time to inflate the life preservers, since I am still missing a fourth one, which I cant see where to get another one.

[close]

I tried to combine all with everything else in my inventory and together with all the available hotspots, but still have no clue what to do next. Guess I missed something. Any small hint would be nice.

Small hint:

Spoiler

Does Speed Buggy have any way to propel himself on water yet?

[close]

Major Hint:

Spoiler

Speed Buggy needs a propeller attached to his rear to be able to move across the water

[close]

SPOILER HINT:

Spoiler

Once you have Speed Buggy as fully prepared as possible: with 3 lifesavers on him, the air-hose ready to pump them up, and the fan attached (all at one time) you should find you can progress in the game...

[close]

Oh, and thanks for playing the game and having enough patience with it to ask for hints. That makes me very happy!

Everything is exactly as you say, however I still cant make any progress.

Spoiler

I cant use the air-hose on the speed-buggy, not on the fan, not on the livesavers, nor on the hood...

finished... including the trophy award , hurray!

@TABATA

It was absolutely not obviously to me, since

Spoiler

the barrels were already leaking and OPEN as well ("I am not putting my hands in that goo!") - but at this time he was unable to fill up the bowl.

[close]

And as for the

Spoiler

drill... I already tried to drill nearly all available game objects, except the barrels which I supposed to be already open! So I missed that one.

[close]

Thanks a lot for your slight hint, got it and moving on now...

So far I got

Spoiler

duct tape, scrap of paper, acorn, drill, bowl (empty) and the can (taped and with a hole, made by the drill). 

[close]

stuck now...

Last thing I did was putting

Spoiler

the red gem stone onto the grave, which moved the stone statue quite a bit. However I still found no way on a) how to get the ball off the statue b) with what to fill the bowl and c) where to use the drill? An answer to any of these three will push me further, I guess...

to me it seems ALL DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE BROKEN
can anyone please reupload the game or provide a working mirror? Thanks!

it seems the download link is broken...
yes, "Game Front" shows and offers the file for download, but as soon as the download is supposed to start, an error messages appears. The very same happens if you try and click on the direct download link.

Thanks Shadow! But even the hint of Uziel did not work well for me. Maybe I am just a bit too blind on those runes.

Spoiler

...based on the numbers of runes, I sussed that the 3 letter one was Doc, given the runes matched up for Dopey... Still I dunno how he figured out the 3 letter word means "DOC" and "DOPEY" is the 5 letter word? Then I shall continue by just only GUESSING all the rest? really? First dwarf name I get "XXeepy"... and it does not ring any bell in my head for any common english name I know of. Seems very difficult and -at least for me- nearly impossible to solve it this way!

[close]

Translating the runes...

Spoiler

The names of the seven dwarves are those in the story of Snow White, and in case any players are not familiar with these I have put a Fairy History in the schoolroom which gives enough of the dwarf names for the rune alphabet to be cracked.

[close]

I'm sorry you are having so much difficulty with this.

Thanks elentgirl - well, got it finally! The riddle was quite some challenge...

Spoiler

Who would have thought of the need to re-read an old story in a different place. Beside this one, I would also rate the website and the games wall solution very well hidden.

But since you cant return back in time at the "game wall", the player is forced to load a saved game or -if unavailable- restart the game. Now that I am trying to solve the endgame, I really think another 30sec. or better an addionation 1 minute extra time would have been better. Also for destroying the totems, using the pc mouse for this situation is bit of a hassle, cause you really need to point & hit into a quite small gfx frame. Unfortuantely "arrow-keys + space-key" are not an option here.

[close]

In case the game would not contain these 3 tiny issues, I would have rated it 100/100 points...
Again, Thank you for 3 days of great adventure game fun. To me, it seems like you worked a 100 times longer doing it...

Thanks Shadow! But even the hint of Uziel did not work well for me. Maybe I am just a bit too blind on those runes.

First of all, elentgirl, thank you very much for this great game. Congratulations for creating such a complex game in this quite perfect form. It contains everything a nice adventure game should have! 

However, it seems finally I really need a small hint please...

Spoiler

I still cant figure out how to deal with the runes. Even if I had any translation, I dont see how to enter this into the given machine. It is the very last thing I am missing in this area (to get the last crystal, I guess) and for getting the last marble.

[close]

ok ok, no worries... got along with it.
even thought I already investigated the sheds window several times before.

stuck since the very beginning...

I cant see where to make ANY progress on. Beside the gps, I only managed to get a car jack.
Investigated everything, spoke to everybody, tried to combine all items with everything.
Please let me know of the (probably) small missing detail to keep continue in this game... thanks.

Wow, these puzzles get more and more difficult... or am I too stupid?!
I didn't expect this game to become such a huge challenge, but otherwise, there are really plenty of games containing puzzles, which are much too easy, so I won't complain!

Spoiler

I finally placed the melted wax underneath the letter now, but I still have no stamp. The idea with the chest key, which reminds me of an Archbishop's sign, seems not to work. On the other hand, I finally found the crypt in the cathredal, so I thought maybe to find the Archbishop's ring there, but nothing seems to fit in the keyhole... Or am I following the wrong path at the moment?

[close]

hint:

Spoiler

What you are searching for, can be find in the crypt. True you need to have a key for the keyhole... what can you do in order to get a key?

Axxesfun:
I'm really sorry but I've no idea about what's happening with wind power...
1) when you use that power can you ear the wind sound?
2) does the hourglass disappear after some seconds? Or you have to restart the game?

Thanks for the other bugs report.
BRomeo

1) Yes, I can hear the wind sound and see the tornado animation wandering through the screen until it leaves. Now that you mentioned the sounds: Always I wondered why do I hear the sound of the horse as well, even if I am 1 or 2 scenarios away from it - to say: the horse is not in the actual screen!
2) No, the hourglass does not disappear! I cant do anything else, except leaving the game by pressing ALT+F4. Now I figured out something strange: The windpower seems to works fine to the north & south -game cursor comes back and no horse sound-, but seems to crash all the time to the west & east directions -horse sound and hourglass wont disappear.

So I can hope to need the wind only in north/south directions?

serious help needed!

Spoiler

Whenever I am using my new wind power (the place and the direction does not matter) the game keeps stucked with an hourglass. The music continues to play like normal and I am able to move the hourglass, but I cannot click with it on anything else nor it works pressing ESC or F5/F7 keys.

[close]

...and for Romeo I do have something else to debug:
1st

Spoiler

http://minus.com/mcnkMFufL/2f - this happened inside the pyramid.

[close]

2nd

Spoiler

http://minus.com/mcnkMFufL/1f - this happened when the horse is at home in the stable and you start an earthquake.

[close]

frustration...

Spoiler

I crushed the bull man 4/5 times and finally it says he wont die by the sword (not powerful enough) ?!? But whats absolutlely more frustrating is the fact that many times, even when you hit him and the blood splashes, I am still being run over and getting injured.

[close]

vjeepusofthenile: Yes the flying sequence is far too long, especially since you are forced to slow down the game before. Can remember only one sequence in the game where I was able to cut the scene by pressing the ESC-key. Dunno why its impossible here. Thanks for your help about the F5/F7 keys - thought they are not available during the fight like the game menu is not.

Tabata:

Spoiler

No, I was not aware of the pathway on the right side of the screen - there was no separate hotspot. And all clicking onto the hotspot of the gate, which I should try to enter, only gave negative answers! So Martyn walked left and right but not ahead, because the path was not clearly visible. Thanks for your support... otherwise I could have been there for hours

[close]

further on...

Spoiler

Now that I created the second extra animal power, I am trying to fight the minotaurus creature. I think its quite important to slow down the game, but still I had no success to conquer him. It could be another timing & positioning issue: Guess it might be best to hit him frontal, where the right timing seems to be very difficult to find.

[close]

Axxes,

You're right on the mark. Try slowing down the game, to give yourself a little time. And sometimes it helps to be repetitive.

Extra

Spoiler

Observe what happens when you hit the dragon with a fireball.

[close]

Extra2:

Spoiler

You want the rock to hit him just right.

[close]

so it seems to be a timing problem...

Spoiler

Thats exactly what I observed, thought and what I already tried numerous times... even with some combos of fireshots/earthquakes. Now I slowed down the game and still the dragon always moves his foot back before the falling rock is ready to hit him.
