[And version 1.2 starts at the end.. ? Since you don't have the right equipment (yet) there's not much to do!]

Look, comrade, I found another tiny bug under the sand.. or.. actually it isn't there or....
Oh well...

The bucket hotspot isn't removed. After you've take it and filled it, you can take it again. Although the green thing isn't visible, the hotspot is... sort of ... when you hold your mouse pointer at the right spot...

Hell, you know what I mean...

[update] It doesn't happen right away so leaving and entering the screen doesn't do the trick but at some point in the game after having the bucket, the hotspot is reset.

And version 1.2 starts at the end.. ? Since you don't have the right equipment (yet) there's not much to do!

You can solve this however by dying first and then choose new game/neues spiel...

Did you...

Spoiler

...try to resolve the conflict in another way?

Now that I replay that part...

Spoiler

When you don't fire the cannonball, you don't get the options. Did you fire the cannonball?

[close]

Nope, it's not.

Spoiler

Walk to the left to meet the oponent. You can walk behind the billboard.

That's because the only thing you can walkthrough is the hotel entrance (really!!). You can look at the poster, look at it's sign at the top and that's about it.... Sander didn't finish the game after the competition. So you could call it abandonware... or maybe not and we'll see a finished version some day..


Ooops... should I have used spoiler tags here? 

To get the motor..

Spoiler

You need to open the Brothers Strugatzki hydrolic entrance.

Where did you find the manual?

Underground..

Spoiler

You need to use the porthole in the steppe

[close]

Therefore you need..

Spoiler

The car jack from the gas station

[close]

But...

Spoiler

You need to see a few people first: at the busstop, the gas station, the taveerne and the academy of science.

Found a copy of the game here.

Yeah I noticed your site was down so I dug up the mp3 and copied it to my site (what is it with these sites lately? first hotu, then bicyle-for-slugs and now yours....)

Congratulations with another fine release.
Looking very good as always. Be playing this later on.. first wait for the download to finish....

It's in the corner....

Spoiler

Look at the books in the cabinet next to the window. First you see books. Look again and you'll see a science fiction book. Look a third time and you'll remember Asimov's story "Mirror Image".

@MarieNomad:

Nothing... just decoy

@marko33:

The code is random each time you play so I can't give you the straight solution.
Never played mastermind? Be systematic. It's fairly easy (but that's with everything if you know the answer ;-)

First try to get all colours. Since you can't have duplicate colours (like in real mastermind) first take the first four colours. Look what happens. Probably not all four at once. Then replace just one colour and see again what happens.
More right? great! then the one you removed wasn't in the intended set. Less right? Then the one you removed should be in the set. Replace another one with the same new colour and see what happens again.  Nothing changes? Then two possibilties: either both should be in the set (the one you removed and the one you put new in) or they're both not in the set.

Try to switch them until you have the colours right. Them move them to get them in the right place. First swith the first two and see what happens. More right? Keep them and try the next. Less right? Reverse your last move and try to switch the next.

More (techinical) info can be found here.

The code for the elevator is mentioned in the dialog when you swipe the card. It's only mentioned once so read carefully....

The solution:

Spoiler

The code is CODE --> 2633

You're trying to find the number for a name.

Spoiler

The name seems to be stained but it's not...
Look at all the others and see if you can make something of it.

Another hint:

Spoiler

Sylables

The solution:

Spoiler

re-create the name you need and put the number behind it in the same order

The answer:

Yep, a bit awkward but try using the door on the far left.

Nice one. I like the graphics and good sfx. Puzzles are indeed tough but make sense. Looking forward to part 2.

[update]
I'd suggest to let someone do a proofreading of the English translation for the next chapter because there a quite a bit of typo's & grammar errors in it.

Yep.

The song's called Itchy Eyes from Allister Howe (BeserkerTails).
You can download it here.

The lyrics:

Red, like the blinding of a light
Darker than the coldest night
But nothing compares to the
Hue of Itchy Eyes

Drops, like the rain falls from above,
Like the pain of shattered love,
But nothing compares to the
Sting of Itchy Eyes

But, what of the morning
And the sun's gentle warmings
Bring beautiful rays
But, on these days I feel nothing but

Pain, which does hunt me like a shark,
Let me rest throughout the dark,
But nothing compares to a
Life with Itchy Eyes

This reminds me of Purgatorio. Downloading now, playing and commenting later.

It seems that the RON-games are also gone from the backup....

hello. everything is currently dead, hardware explosion and all that. something or other will return presently

Luckilly I was in time to make backup. 

You don't need the panel.

Look at the board on the ground and talk to Kadin again. Ask him about the board and he’ll tell you it lacks power at the moment.  Use the gem on the board and the power is restored.

I'd keep it in this style and not replicate anything. It should be a completely standalone unique appearance.
