Any hints for 8 and 11? :]

This game is really cool :) Reminds me of Hoshi Saga, in a way.

Currently stuck at 8 and 11.

Help for Level 11:

Still stuck on 8.

Wonderful game! It reminds me of hoshi saga. I love it!

For 8:

Nice game !
Stuck on level 8 as well ...

Hint for level 10? I'm stuck.

Stuck on 14?

I'm stuck on 10. Haven't got a clue what I should do..

Never mind, got it.

For 10:

Fun game. Couldn't get past number 12 though - I just can't click that fast.

16 makes me cry. :[

Stuck on 14. That's the one with

Still don't get level 10. Help.

Done!

Great game! Can I have help with 6 and 10 please!

I can't get past level 6. The one where it says press.

6:

I´m still stuck on 10, too!

14?

UUUUURGH I have all but Room #5!

anyone have a hint for 19?

I'm very confused, I click the key, then can't figure out what to do next???

10 minutes and I still haven't gotten #5! Is there a special trick I'm not aware of? :(

got it, you have to

for #5

For 14:

Any hint for 17? I got the

already.

I can't figure out level 10. The spoiler a few comments didn't help at all so please help me. It's the only level I still haven't passed (of the first 12 ones.)

Is it me or is 10 really badly made... i have the key, and it is obvious you are supposed to use the same method to get the door, but it just won't work...?

And 13 doesn't seem to grap the key even when you hit it?

Edd,

10 is a pixel-hunt nightmare, agreed. Just keep trying.

What's up with 6? I can't even begin to get it.

No. 14

14 doesn't make any sense. I don't know if I'm supposed to be solving a math problem, a puzzle, or what. Every time I re-enter the room the number on the top changes. Even further, the numbers in the bottom right (usually look like 0-1 or 1-3) changes after popping the key.

This room is too guessy.

Love these. I finished all 20 levels, I think using every trick I knew. Mostly you just have to try everything you can think of. For 16, it stumped me too, even after I figured it out, but when I tried:

I did it perfectly. Counter-intuitive, but it worked.

After such a tricky game 20 was kind of a let down...

i cant seem to get number 12. im too slow!

Stuck on 14. Can get key easily but door is unfindable.

I need I help with 19! I got the key, but

ehh. nevermind

Poor Psychotronic!
Criticised for long reviews;
Forced to write Haiku.

18 was insanely awesome!

Architectonic:

Here's a hint for #12:

OK, I must be doing something wrong on 19...

i need help on 14

I am completely stuck on 10.
Don't understand what I should be doing.
I kept pressing on the button but that's just it. Please help.

What on Earth are you supposed to do on 14 to get the door?

ya what do u do on 14?

How on earth do you do anything in number 19?
It just sits their unresponsive to all my mouse movements and gestures!

Ok, what gives with number 19?
I can't get it to do anything!

yes - 14 is so annoying. cant seem to work it out at all. Help please?

For 14, you have to arrange the R to F list as the boxed numbers appear, from front to back (closest to the player being front). Move the sliders around to see which boxes are on which layers.

For 14:

What are we suppose to do for opening door 14?

what about 10

Best. Review. Ever.

My hat (if I had a hat) off to you, sir.

Yes LS!
I am stuck on 14!

I'm stuck on 14. :/

I'm at room 8 at the moment and so far I like what i got a lot. Someone mentioned Hoshi Saga and I must agree - reminded me of those games too.

The good old ancient Hercules monitor image is awesome :)

Good find and good entertainment.

balikos

Please, what do you do in 14? I'm stumped!

14 might be something to do with the order of numbers front to rear?

Got all but #8. That one's giving me a hard time... But, hey... :)

i am feeling stupid, mate. keep trying until what?!!

OMGoodness! i got it

I've done all so far but 11. Any help?

What a brilliant game, but level 16 is simply too annoying so sadly this is one game I'm never going to complete. Casual gameplay means I'm not going to spend half an hour trying to master tapping on my mouse button 100 times!

I still can't get Lv 19 to do anything at all, even after Seregmegilmor's hints.

Shawn,

Yeah, 19 is a real pain in the neck

Anyway, I just finished the game. Some levels were fun, some were just sheer drudgery. For me, games like this work when the solution involves thinking outside of the box. In other words figuring out the solution, not implementing it, is the hard part. Pixel hunting and tiresome repetition are not my cup of tea.

Overall, though, not bad.

Well, room 16 seems to be a punishment for the progression... The sound gets to yer nerves in like half a minute. and how far do you have to go for the door? My counter got reset at about 92.
Also, the rythm seems to get rather uneven after about 60. Dunno if it's intentional (hope not...) or microcuts in the net-connection, but they make this level near impossible...

Walkthrough

Seregmegilmor:

What do you mean "switch" in level 1?

Ah I got beat to it :)

I think I figured out how to get the lvl 19 to work everytime !

So replace the first paragraph of point 19 on my walkthrough by this one :

I've tried doing it like that and it worked 10 times out of 10

The way it -always- works for me is grab the orange box, drag to the right, then all the way left.

@Seregmegilmor yes, you are right, i tried lvl 19 using the previous walktrough hint like a 100 times,

Was about to write that here as well, but you beat me to it :)

That should teach me to grab the walktrough to early, i did all before w/a a walktrough anyway, except for lvl 8. Needed a hint there.

Really taking those calls for shorter reviews seriously, eh Psychotronic? :)

so even though i've read all the walkthroughs for lvl 14, i'm still stuck. i have my numbers in the correct order on the right, but nothing's happening. how do i get the door to appear?

They really should have spared the pixel hunting levels... I was very lucky with level 10, got it right the first time, but at level 17 I

for about 5 minutes before resorting to the walkthru and even then it took me like 2 minutes to find THAT ONE place...

I tried clicking and dragging at least 1000 times (literally) and still nothing. All it did is get me fustrated and want to kill my computer just so I can never return to this site. Thanks

I agree very like Hoshi Saga
and I love stuff like this

but I do get very vexed that you get so far
and get stuck not cos you cant work it out but cos you just cant click quick enough

I'm an old woman for pete's sake
I have an underactive thyroid and ME!!!
please send a youngster round to help me do room 5 at your earliest convenience...I will bake cake (sorry fans of portal)

I loved 16.

Apart from lvls 16 and 19 and some of the pixel hunting it was fun.

joye feels self-pity
the laptop touchpad is not
suitable for this

I'm in 10, and I've gotten the key, and I'm pretty sure I'm clicking in the right spot for the door, but nothing is happening (as if I'm really not clicking in the right spot)

Nevermind. It seems a little

than where it was supposed to be.

I found a way to get 5 really easily

Could this count as a room escape in its most basic form, with one trick per room?

I would say yes, right down to its reluctance to admit that pixel-perfect (or similar) timing only encourages spoilers/random frantic guesswork. For the most part, the game was fun. it was like Hoshi Saga, except with keys AND doors, detracting slightly from the simplicity of one goal rather than one made up of two halves.

*Yech*...the game was decent right up until level 16. Given the different speeds of systems and other things that might influence the timing...that's a really lousy puzzle--not to mention impassable in my case. :-( I *loathe* rhythm/timing puzzles to begin with, and it's rather disappointing to have to deal with one in the middle of what is otherwise a rather nice logic puzzler. Perhaps the author will learn better game design for the next time around. :-/

The game is brilliant.
Psychotronic's review is
Quite brilliant also!

okay, fun game, but for some reason if i click on the door when i don't have the key firefox freezes for about 20 seconds. This annoys me. Has anyone else run into this issue?

In fact, Firefox is freezing frequently when I do all sorts of things in this game. It's about ready to make me quit.

Ok game but not obviously designed for a laptop. Would rather have games to tax the mind not the fingers.

Oops. About my previous comments: my bad. Another program was using all my processor time. Nothing to do with the game. :)

I suggest for 14...

14 is really vexing.

Hooray for haikus!
Thanks for bringing them back, Psy!
I missed them so much.

Now I'm off to play
Kagi Nochi Tobira
Room escapes are sweet!

16 made me quit...

It doesn't run smoothly, so the timing changes/hiccups randomly. I'm sure it doesn't help that I have a dozen tabs open in my browser, but choosing between closing all of them or closing this game is simple.

Sayonara Kagi Nochi Tobira

I love this game to death, but level 10 almost made me cry.

Haha...
fun game overall...
Though some of the lvls were annoying.
14 was annoying =_="
Loved all the other ones though!

Omg, i took the advice on turning the volume all the way up on lv 19..

And I can't believe I actually finished this game, wow. I feel accomplished.

Very creative; it was very fun to play. I would like to see more from this author. Maybe even a second key series.

Any help on 14?

I've got the key and I'm pretty sure everything's in order. Is there anything else I have to do?

Argh! Level 16. The inhumanity.

For Number 10

purpleskiesxx When the numbers are in order the door will pop up at the top. Also the box with the numbers in like 3-2 will change to just a 7.

I'm giving in for now 16 has me wanting to put my foot through the screen. Brill game though.... not 16 obviously.

Clever game even if at some points I had no idea (level 19 anyone). But still good use of 10 minutes.

The domino level really spoiled this game. It went far too fast for me to actually complete on my system.

Don't forget level E. :)

Hi.. I cannot get past 19.. It just wont let me. I have quit the game.. BUT... I understand about drudging through levels. it leaves you bored, wanting to leave the game, and in some instances a little mad because you bothered... But thinking outside the box.. Teaches you logic and abstract thinking. Both of which are needed for many of these games.
Thanks Iceebear

for room 10:

good luck!

I'm stuck on 13. No matter how fast I click, I can never get the cursor to grab the key.

Am I the only one who's stuck at 13?

ARGH On Level 16, I cant Get Past 79!!!

Walkthrough is not complete.
There's more to level 14:

Total fab game. Can't stop myself repeating the

as it's so fun!!

I'm stuck at eleven, already saw the cheat but can't make it work. Help!

For level 14, is it mastermind?

on 16 you have to click in the right box by the rhythm of the "toc" "toc"

I cheated on 5, but it's their fault; I hate reaction time games. :D

Argh! I cannot get past 10!

I've finished all the other available levels, and only have this one keeping me from moving forward. Help please!

Finally got 14 with some luck. I still don't understand what those 2 numbers under the tiles meant but

I finally got past 10 only to get stuck on 16 for forever. An interesting game, but very frustrating most of the time. I almost quit without finishing several times.

By the way, did anyone else notice that the rooms are set up in the shape of a key on the main page? It's not important, but it's a nice touch.

I can't do level 6! I keep pressing up and down but nothing is happening. :( Someone help me.

Anyone using LINUX get past 19? Maybe flash plug=in doesn't allow to click and drag.

For 10, a helpful hint...

I could only get to level five.

for 8, have the door appear on the left then click it like 20 times real quick. You can figure out the rest.

about level 14

for level 6 press the arrow keys on your keyboard up for the door, down for the key

Help! How do you cheat on number 5, cause that thing is driving me crazy!!! I got 1 - 12 without cheating, except number 5...and after I looked at the solution (which was actually what I had been doing all along) I still couldn't get it. Sometimes I even hit the key, but nothing happens...I can't get the right-click cheat to work, so are there any other ways out there? Thanks:)

Thanks Seregmegilmor! I was going crazy!

Ugh, Even if you go back to Level 12 and to 13,
it doesn't matter. The line still appears, so now what? How are ever going to get past L 13?
:/ Help??

my past comment was about lvl 16, sorry

This reminds me of that game where you have to find the stars.

Nope. #'s 5 and 16 are far too heavily dependent upon system capabilities. A memory processing spike in the midst of #16 shut me down twice as I reached 80-ish, and I would have never gotten 5 without a similar spike.

The pleasure of the rest of the puzzle is *far* outweighed by the aggravation that 5 and 16 bring. Maybe for the next game the author can actually make a real puzzle instead of "look! click fast!" That's game design along the lines of "I add challenge to my boss battles by doubling the creatures' hit points, hurr."... in other words, it's the lazy man's way out, and disappointing to see given the rest of the 'rooms'.

What do you have to do in room 1? Argh!

Level 16, the Dominoes.
Practice with sound, kind of timing.
To complete: do it from begeining without sound.
Look for falling dominoes. This is because sound will disappear anyway somewhere 6?, and it starts to speed up also 7?. And then to final ending it will slow down, which is then easier to look.

How do you do #10? It's insane, I can't get it to stay at the intersecting lines part.

Lvl 14:
F 5634201 R

My thoughts on a few levels:

8/10

5/13

16

4/11/20

I cant get past 18, im not a fast typer any hints?

I don't get why everyone hates 16 so much. I completed it 1st time, no problems, and it's the best level imho.

How the whiskers do you do Level 10? I've tried everything posted.

I got level 16 on second try. I really loved this one. Seems like everyone hates level 16 because it needs sense of rhythm x)

I completely started over. And I still am stuck with the line on #13. Is there anyway to restart the game? I'm never going to get this game finished! :{

Level 16 seems harder then you think! To keep up with the count drives me nuts!
Lucky I was able to get past Level 13! :}k9

Same here Level 16 is horrible! Even turning the volume down doesn't help. I can get the key if I'm not right on the money with the count, but getting the door is like drive a nail through a rock! Good Luck with it :/

I had trouble with 16, like a lot of others. Flash doesn't run so well in Firefox, and so the speed of the game is unreliable. My strategy was to say "bam" when a domino fell and hit the next one, and click each time I said "bam". Saying something helped me concentrate. Otherwise I'd lose track of what I was looking at, because your eyes try to follow the dominoes off the left side of the screen, instead of looking for the next impact.

An unbeleiver, persecute, kill the heretic!!!...... Is a John Cleese line in Life of Brian. :-P

Of course you dont get why everyone hates 16 so much combot55, you didn't spend 2 hours (2 hours that I'll never get back) trying all sorts to beat the thing and having to quit before you punched a hole through time out of sheer frustration. You did it first time you lucky/skilled/blessed (all 3?) gamer you, well done by the way. I was loving this game until that level. Now I HATE it with a capital disdain and 5 unrepentant exclamation loathes
at the end.

A fun little game, very similar to the 'Hoshi Saga' series but with a different aesthetic.

P.S. Level 16 was easy (=P), seriously, I just counted along in my head and got it second time. Level 11 and Level 19, though...they had me stumped for a good while.

Oops...Level 11 stumped me, I mean, not Level 16. ^_^'

Thank you seregmegilmor. It's easier than it looks. As others have said, it took 2 tries and I was cleared of the level. So help me with level 20. I haven't seen anyone being stuck?
Whenever I put the numbers on the left side, they don't go all the way up to the numbers on the right side. :/ Thanks

Is it me or do I have stupid written on my head?
It only took me Duh! to figure out Level 20. I wouldn't mind doing it again!

Okay, I'm stuck on level 10. I understand that you have to click on the point where all the lines meet, but the problem is, I can't figure out how you do that. I'm on a MacBook laptop and every time I move the mouse off the friggin' switch or try to right click, it goes away. T.T someone please help, because this is driving me up the wall.

On stage 5, if you aren't fast enough, you can click to pull the circle up, and then move your cursor out of the game REALLY quick, then highlight the game.

The curtain will freeze, and all you do is double-click to key quickly and there you are.

This is a suggestion for those who can't aim well, like myself.

This has to be my favourite escape the room game ever. The two that I couldn't complete on my own were also the two I thought worst done - perhaps like the Penny Arcade T-Shirt says, "Games (that I suck at) are Stupid"... nevertheless, I think that the solutions to #8 and #19 weren't very logical. There might have been other illogical ones that I just happened to get right away and so they didn't stick in my head - or perhaps I my brain just isn't wired to think right for those particular two puzzles.

Nevertheless the game is well done, from the simple interface (which doesn't interfere with the puzzling) to the fact that being stuck in one room doesn't always mean you're stuck for good. Sometimes all you need is to try your brain elsewhere for a bit.

I particularly liked the end reward, and stayed there for several minutes fiddling with the on/offs and enjoying the music. Few point-and-click games have such a worthwhile conclusion.

Hmm, it seems that a lot of people are having trouble with #16. I was also lucky enough to get it on the first try, and it seems my strategy was different from many others so perhaps it might help someone:

I don't know if that'll help or not, I hope so!

lvl16 was EASY. i dont know what are you complaining about o0

I just can't get level 5. It's killing me!

ok so after goin nuts on 10, i finally figured out what people were trying to say in the other posts

i cant figure out 14.. im assuming the R and F on the right stand for front and rear? as in the piles? i dunno.. but i realized that you can switch the numbers on the right around, e.g. if you want 5 at the top of the colomn, click 5 and then click the top

nice use of haiku in your review ^^

lvl 10:

Completed.
Had trouble with the same ones most people had difficulty with, but got through.

For the clicking stage with the time limit, a tip:

consider location of items of interest

Actually 19 is not THAT tricky a move to be executed :

Spoiler to level five:

for number 5

i beat the game!
for level 14:

i found that 16 is easier if you close your eyes and just stick to the beat

A decent game ruined by the totally idiotic level 16.

OMG I FINALLY GOT 14!!!
Thanks for posting hints!

omg lol everyone hated level 16 XD
same here

Why does lvl 5 have to be so cruel?

I can't figure out 14.

I thought I knew what to do, but the levers will not show you the exact relationship between tiles and the point of those numbers eluded me.

Then I checked out the walkthrough, and surprise, surprise, the author of the walkthrough obviously lucked out on 14 because his "hints" are worth squat.

Either the level is ingeniously clever or attrociously stupid.

Cheat for level 16!

oooh the dominoes! -,- but I got em after half an hour to and fro...

the last one was hilariously easy :P

How do I solve level 20? I got the key but can't find the door.

16 was an ender for me. Ridiculously long and heavy handed. It should have went to 25 or 50 at the most. A shame for such a great game to be marred like that.

this game is not laptop friendly. Unless you have a mouse for your laptop don't even try to beat this game. Period.

agreed, 16 made me quit and i was quite enjoying it until then

first time to write here~
hope this isnt posted before

a trick i developed for level 5

So for Level 14 you need to manipulate the numbers and discover how they are stacked on top of each other. R = Rear F = Front. The bottom two and the top two numbers are fairly easy to figure out. It is the middle three that might be a bit of a problem. You simply switch out the numbers on the right hand side by clicking on the number you want to place and then the location that it should belong. When you get the order correct a 7 appears at the coordinates box and a door appears at the top.

Room 14: I read all the spoilers and was convinced that I had the numbers correctly but no door! If there is no door then you are wrong, as as soon as you get the correct numbers then the door appears right away. I hope that helps!

Update
