Excellent little game, though it could use a save feature, and the sluggish scrolling is rather irritating. I'm stuck in the puzzle with the coloured lights though. I assume it has something to do with the bamboo sticks on the surface, but I tried interpreting them as number of clicks and sequence, neither of which works, and lastly as number of balls, but it looks as if that isn't going to be right in 100 years because they just shoot off a random number each time.
Thanks for playing oOpyromancerOo ! Those are great suggestions! I would build Puzzle Box Island forever but there is a glitch in the software I used to build it. Every time I changed anything it would change stuff in other levels making broken spots. I'll open it up and try to put those in there anyway because it does need those. -Spoilers- Don't read this- There's an area below the vent in the floor. The trick with the spirit rocks puzzle is to do it slowly. The Bamboo: bamboo with one section corresponds to the first rock to push. Two sections of bamboo is the second rock down in the well to push. Three sections shows which one the third stone is. Four sections is the last stone to push. Just one click on rock one, let the spirit hit the statue and make a noise. One click on the second rock, wait for it to hit the statue and make a noise. Do the third and fourth. let me know if it's still giving you trouble. the projector up in the greenhouse also shows what color to push and in what order. It matches the bamboo clue. Four clicks total to solve the puzzle.
No, still doesn't work for me. This gives a sequence of 4-2-1-3, but nothing happens. Should the next thing happen automatically, or do I need to do something else? And where is this projector you mentioned? I can't find that.
Yep. You have the right code. I think I know why it's not working. There's a yellow bird that needs to sit on the roof of the well so It can hear you when you are doing the code. Go into the Greenhouse. Up to the upper level in the elevator. Don't take the elevator back down yet. It takes you all the way to the top so use your mouse to go down that area and you will find a window with a switch. The window opens and a yellow bird flies out of the greenhouse. The projector is also there and it says Blue, purple/pink, yellow, white. Go back to the well and the yellow bird should land on the well. Click the rock that is third from the left. It should let out blue orbs. Let them fly to the statue and make a sound. Next one is second from the left-pink/purple. Furthest to the right- yellow. First one on the left is last- white. I think it's the bird that is the missing part of the puzzle. It flies down into the well when it hears the right song.
Thanks. With this I was able to complete the game. This confirms that I had some difficulty navigating the game. Sometimes the scrolling is unresponsive. Conversely sometimes when I try to press something near the edge, the screen starts scrolling. I understand this might be difficult to get to work right, but maybe some kind of indicator to show where you can go would be helpful? Anyway, great game. I'll try the other one and hope to see more from you.
That's awesome! I'm glad you got to see all of it! There's a ball that follows the mouse and that is what collides with the sides of the screen to move it. It just needs to follow the mouse faster. I remember the gold bird/well level had issues when I messed with the speed. If the greenhouse door was on screen right when the room started then it wouldn't open when you clicked on it. Weird stuff. I'll finish chapter two and then open that one up and see what's available to speed up the view movement. Thanks oOpyromancerOo!
Very creative! I had a lot of fun playing this!
Great game! Nice attention to detail with fun and challenging puzzles.
