Trapped

Oooo, 1 and 2 were fun. But wow, bell curve learning in stage 3. Still, good mini-games!

Oooh, I've beaten all of these a long time ago; I actually played them in reverse, starting with level 5 and progressing down to level 1.

Didn't realize these were never featured on JIG, but I have to concur that this Trapped is an awesome series.

I don't get the Push Skill under the purple diamond... help!

Oh wait... I got it under control... never mind!

Good game, but most of the levels have been out for a very long while.

OK, now what's the code for the steel door?

Nevermind, I don't think I have ever played the first or second.

I'm on level 3 and stuck. I'm at the room where a mysterious voice says I need to follow its pattern. I'm pretty sure I've copied down the pattern of the green tiles correctly. I've tried walking over the tiles in the order and I've tried walking on the tile and hitting enter when I'm on each tile. Both haven't worked. I'm missing something as I guess I'm not "following its pattern." Any help?

Nevermind, I didn't fully read all of the directions before starting to play.

The code is random for each game, and is found by killing the first boss and looking at the question mark in the room behind it.

Im stuck on level 3 i have no money, i dont know how i would get money, i cant get the bomb and i have checked everywhere and i do not see any sign of a green key...and whats with the room with nothing in it execpt a little devil thing that follows you??? Can someone help me???

Im stuck. Got to the room with the bomb on level 3 but dont know how to get it. I think you need it to blow a hole in the wall with a crack in it.

lvl 3: To get money

When you have got the bomb, go to the room with the flame man in who follows you around, then blow him up. Might take some time to get him to be on bomb when it explodes. Then go bomb the crack in the wall to get the green key. Follow the hint on the question mark square for that room.

I always liked these games. It really is interesting to see the author develop. But it's starting to feel like the rigid grid system is more confining than it's worth. I get cramps from hitting the arrow keys repeatedly.

walk through for level 5 please!

I don't get how to play this game. When I finish level 1, it displays a success message and the code for next level, and nothing else. I've tried to click everywhere, I've waited for several minutes, but nothing happens. How do I go to the next level ?

i don't get level 3 at all. i've got a room with green squares which light up in a random pattern. what exactly am i meant to do there?

I spent the past hour played through the games, i did 1,2,3,4 without much trouble, and then 5 was a killer.

5 i spent ages going through the rooms when i became stuck at one point, only to find that...

...A brown block was sliderable...

...In the middle of a room with 2 turrets in the corner.

After that i countinued without trouble for a looong time... however i had to give up after i started getting RSI.. urgh..

Fun games though.

oh but how to get the blasted bomb on level 3?

These are the kinds of games that I love, and I'm very pleased that the size of the games and the novelty of the puzzles expanded as the author progressed. I was a little disappointed, though, that the emphasis evolved from puzzle-solving to twitch-timing over the five episodes. I would have preferred more focus on inventive puzzles and less on "drop the bomb and time the explosion properly."

So the password you get from Level 1 is useless? And the coins you collect in Level 4 are useless? This seems like bad design to me, especially since there's a room whose only purpose is to give you coins after solving a puzzle. It wouldn't even be that bad if it were a matter of "Are you a bad enough dude to collect all the coins," except that there's a room with respawning enemies that give coins every time they're killed. What's the point?

I got to what was presumably the "end boss" of Level 5, but couldn't figure out how to damage it. :-(

I played through the other 4 levels years and years ago. Still fun to play again, of course.

uh, this is dumb but i can't get anything at all on level 2. please help

The Trapped series are my favorite platform game, I've played them so many times I could do it with my eyes closed!(OK, maybe not).

One more thing: I know this isn't the right topic for this, but has anyone noticed that at the top of the new JIG page there is a point-and-click game? Until now, I've lit the letters C, L, M, P.

C

Click on the stickman and then at the fire. He will pick up a torch. Go back to the other side and run the mouse across the weeds (those little plants around the lake, I don't know if that's their name)so that a mage fly from behind the tree (I think it only happens after you have lit the P). Click the mage, pick up the wand and drag it to the stickman. Then, just complete the minigame. (pick up all the bubbles until your O2 bar turns green and a red, bigger bubble appears, pick it up to light up the C)

Click on the stickman and then at the fire. He will pick up a torch. Go back to the other side and keep clicking at the button on the bottom of the L, so that the bugs around the torch go to the left instead of back to the fire (make sure the right lamp is lit). Quickly click the L button again and then click the right lamp, so the bugs should go into the L.

Simply click the hole in the tree on the left and then, when the bugs are almost under the M, click the button in the M, and the bugs should be sucked in. (requires timing)

Click on the stickman and then at the fire. He will pick up a torch. Go back to the other side and click the bottom of the P.

Drag and release the rocks that are next to the fire so they break, and click the tree so that a new rock falls down. Repeat this until a frog falls, and get him to cross the lake by clicking on him and putting the cursor at the opposite side you want the plant to go.

I found a glitch in Trapped 4 that made me invincible. I don't know how I did it, but my health constantly regenerates, then goes to 10% when it gets up to 100%. I might die if I get hit at 10%, but besides that, I can't die. Woot.

Please, please, please- someone post a walkthrough for episode 5. BTW, there is lots more after you kill the Boss. I can't tell a person how to beat it- I took advantage of the fact that you can die an infinite amount of times, it just lowers your "ranking". I don't care about my rank :-)

Aha!! I love this game..my favourite amongst all! After the fire-man thing in level 3, it was surprising easy, but very intelligent indeed.

5. I'm in a room with 5 blocks (with marks on them)surrounding a door and blue disc, They look like they should be mined but just change colour and shake a bit but don't seem to want to give in....... suggestions?

i finished level 1 and now i'm stuck at the black screen with the password to level 2.
can someone help me?

never mind. the episodes are not grouped together in one game.

So, did anyone get into the White room in Trapped 5?

I had forgotten about not being able to get into it until I finally beat the darn thing and it reminded me I had missed the secret room.

Advises the Credits:

1) Go down four rooms from Start.
2) Go right one room from blue door room.

Hmmmm.....and it wasn't such an amazing game that I want to play through the whole thing again just to get in there. Maybe another time.

Jacob, I managed to get the second part of the white key by

blowing up the top of the room that is one right of where the blue key is found, right where the blue block came to life

Great games ... the first couple were pretty easy. Level 5 took me an hour and a half. The only disappointment was that I finished the game without going through the white door, and it's too much effort to start over just for that.

For those of you having trouble with level 5, I put together a complete map (minus whatever is through the white doorway).

http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb204/scoobysnack39/?action=view¤t=Trapped_lvl_5_Map.jpg

This is just a map, it doesn't show the progression through this level, and I think the code and the colored blocks are random (so this won't help with that).

Great game, only I there was a save feature. Also, I'd like to know where both halves of the white key are.

I accidently found the other half of the white key

in the third room down from the start (with the X's and ramdom moving baddies). Place a bomb to the left of the right most, top X. The button will remove a block and reveal a teleport.

I killed the first boss, got the code and now I'm stuck...

Every time I have to manipulate blocks, boxes, or whatever around other immovable objects and onto buttons, or whatever, I am reminded of Blobbo. I wish I had a non OSX mac so i could relive this great game.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Blobbo_Lite.gif

The white key thing doesn't really help too much

it's a guide to the enemies, but not the bosses.

Definately best of the lost series (i tried trapped 4 a year or so ago, but got stuck somewhere, schooled it this time around).

I'm playing Trapped 4 and I can't find the Purple Gem. Can anyone help?

I'm totally stuck on level 2. How do I use the purple thing? I can't seem to do anything with it. Do the gray tiles in the upper room have some function? Help please!

I found the first half of the White Key in the X room. But where is the second half? I've gone both to the room right of Blue Key Room, and to the room right of the Blue Door Room... I can't friggin' find it. Please, any advice (a decent description preferrably) would be nice.

OK, so -- About the White Key --

The first half can be found in the room with the X's. Once you have acquired the Super Bomb, approach the X's to the far right of the room, and lay a bomb next to the one on top. Detonate the bomb, and a nearby block will explode, revealing a button. Press the button, and a portal will appear in the center of the room. Now, yep, you guessed it, step into the portal, and it will take you to the room holding the first half of the White Key. Now, the second half is even easier. You know the room holding the Blue Key? Good. Well, go to that room (note: you can do this procedure both BEFORE and/or AFTER you get the Blue Key), and then exit that room via the door on the right. Now in this room, you will see three blocks against the north wall, and a group of six or eight blocks in the center of the room. Approach the top three blocks, and one of them will attack you (crazy crap, I know). Bomb the crap out of that Evil Block, and then place a Super Bomb against the section of the north wall where that son-of-a-gun was laying dormant (centering the bomb should do it). Detonate the bomb, and, wah-lah, a door will appear. Enter the door, and you will find a room with a random block in the center of it. This room is stupid and pointless, but the door on the right wall will lead you to a second room, this one holding the second half of the key. I apologize if my description seems sloppy, but trust me, that is probably the easiest way I could have explained it.

It's a statistics guide to the six different types of enemies. Personally, when I saw what it was, I was extremely disappointed. I was really hoping it would be a Projectile weapon, or a mini-game, or a special ending, or SOMETHING of the sort. But no, it was a guide. Some believe the three Bosses should have been included, but sadly, they were not. Perhaps you will value this item more than I; but to each his own, I suppose. Enjoy (maybe).

You should change the main link to go to http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/trapped.html
I spent 10 minutes just looking for level 2

Zero-K - a link to level 2 is already provided in the review above.

In any event, I've added the link to the entire collection to the review as well. Cheers!

May someone PLEASE tell me how to get the bomb?I've tried forever to get it but i couldn't.PLEASE someone tell me!
Jay this website is the best in the UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!

hey i cant get to level 2 it just say level 2 password

stuck in lvl 2 how do you turn on red, blue, light blue and purple?

Here's a hint on beating the first boss in Trapped 5:

Keep weaving in and out of the blocks, and as long as the boss isn't going forward for two spaces, his tongue won't hit you. Just keep weaving and quickly planting and detonating bombs and you'll have it in no time.

Argh! Can anyone help me with the second boss? It's being a major PITA right now..

How do you do the room in level 3 when:

you're on one side of a pit and on the other side there's a bomb that moves the opposite direction you move?

and I like

how you can put spoiler tags inside other tags. I like the POOKEY example.

I beat levels 1, 2, and 5. 1 and 2 were considerably easy. 5 was real hard.
I also almost beat 4... got to the very end, with the

purple star thing

yellow guy who you had to bomb

As I said before, may someone please tell me how do you get the bomb on level three? PLEASE tell me, to me it feels 100% impossible.

I agree with Soren.
I think:

you have to get to the same square as the bomb

Thats also impossible.

No, it's not. I just know it. I'll try it.
Yes, it works! I won level 3!!

I almost beat trapped 4 when a bug made unable 2 move @ 10% health.

Oh and the blue dude you corner is right.

you kill the big star by killing the little star that follows it! :O

I like spoiler tags!
Oh and I also like in trapped 5, the

living blocks

There's a room with 3 blocks on the top one is alive,

kill the living block and bomb where he was, adventure through the door and go right, you just found the white key front (ignore the disco block )

I have the same question as Neddo:
What are the coins in level 4 for?
Please post a response.
Now I'm going to put a lot of spoiler tags for the guide to the bosses (click twice for each boss).

1. Just bomb his head. Keep your bombs away from exactly 2 spaces away to avoid the tongue

2.When he shoots, reflect the center shot with the bomb.

3. Let the turret hit his head.

i cant figuire out #3 with the green floor block pattern. way to fast for me. plus i blinked. i beat #1 & #2. awesome.

i love your site, Jay. ive never posted b4 but this is like the only game site i play on.

Here's the combination to the green floor pattern in level 3, for all you people (I found it out in two ways: one being I tried it on a slow computer, and two because it says on the Trapped 3 page of www.newgrounds.com)(press the pattern in the order of the numbers):

1 4 9
7 8 6
5 2 3

1.

Go right until you hear the mysterious voice.

2.

Press A on the green lights in the pattern shown above.

3.

Go down and through the portal.

4.

Go right and down until you see a bomb across a pit.

5.

Try to get to the same square as the bomb (it's very tricky, I can't remember how I did it).

6.

Go back to the portal room and down, not through the portal.

7.

Try to get the bomb on the same space as the "fireman" when the bomb explodes.

8.

Once you have, get the $50 bucks!!

9.

Go through the portal, get back to the start room and go left to "SHOP". Wait until Wednesday in-game and buy the "Turn Skill" for $50 (rip off, in my opinion).

10.

Place a bomb next to the cracked block in the start room and wait till it explodes.

11.

Go down, get the green key, go up and unlock the green door. Go through.

12.

Press "A" on the buttons to make the "O" move, get it to E-4 and press "A" on the middle button.

13.

Go up, avoid the green blobs (they hurt you) and go right.

14.

Press all but the first buttons (counting from the left) to make the half-circles turn, then press the first button to make the cannon thing shoot a red blast which will bounce off the half-circles.. If the blast hits the multicolored block, you can leave the room. Once you do...

THE END!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Like I said, can somebody PLEASE tell me what the coins are for in level 4?!? To be honest, I'll say that I'm tired of waiting for an answer.

By the way, Jay, your site rules! I can find all my favorite "casual games" on your site!

THE TRAPPED 3 BOMB:

walk at the left wall 3 times and cross, you should be able to figure it out then

in trapped 5 you know the room with all of the xs and that thing you step on to move a door? well step on that and press a 2 times and a portal appears to take you to a key part. i advise you not to go through all of the trouble doing this for all you get is a stupid enemy guids

Farrhago, the 2nd boss

Use your bombs to deflect back his fireballs.

This game rules!
By the way, if anyone can correct my walkthrough for level three, please do.

I've got past the boss #1 now what?

Wg:
I know this is a little late but...

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME PASS LEVEL 3!!!!!!!

hi

in response to "I am reminded of Blobbo. I wish I had a non OSX mac so i could relive this great game." from Sesquiped

do you, or anyone here happen to know where i can find a walkthrough for blobbo? would be greatly appreciated.
Have tried to contact the maker, for full version but not sure if he is still operating.

Thanks!

ps i have an OSX mac and use a classic application thing to play blobbo, perhaps u could try that!

Omigosh, my first walkthrough everwas a success! You're absolutely welcome.

Oops, I meant to give credit to Soren.
