Kyhkyh_thespellbreakerquest_title.pngEveryone grows up hearing stories. Most of them come in the form of tales of princesses, witches, evil monsters and a savior in the form of a prince/fairy godmother/hobbit. Now you can truly immerse yourself in such a story and experience a fairytale in the making with Playtinum Games' latest point-and-click adventure. The Spell Breaker Quest - A Prince Ivan Adventure puts you in the shoes of our valiant Prince Ivan, who must save his sisters from a sinister, evil... well, you'll find out. You'll travel through magical lands across the kingdom helping out some of your subjects who in turn help you out (adventure games, after all, run highly on tit for tat).

Much like their previously reviewed game, Adventures of Veronica Wright: Escape from the Present, use your mouse to interact with each scene and the menus at the bottom. Inventory is less clunky than Veronica Wright, just click the picture of Ivan to open it up. Highlighting an item gives you a quick description (and a possible clue on where to use it), then clicking 'Use Item' allows you to use it with the environment. And how do you know where to use something? Why, with the help of a changing cursor! And Prince Ivan needs all the help he can get what with a snarky crow who only offers cryptic clues for each area, and not always for the parts you want. But despite your less-than-helpful sidekick, there's a big adventure (with automatic saving in case you need to take this game in multiple helpings) ahead of you with witches, puzzles, coin minting, potion making and, of course, princess saving. Plus, what's a fairytale without a little love? Give the game a go and assist Prince Ivan in creating a happy ending!

    • Blue flower - blue rose (by the river in the rain room of the three doors of the seasons)

    • Eight eye water - octopus tear drop (from the octopus underwater)

    • Pink light - red and white gemstones (use the dials below the gemstones to rotate them)

  • Once everything is lined up, press the red button below the door to collect the blue potion.

  • Now follow the recipe for the Grow Wings Potion:

    • Yellow fruit - banana (from the monkey in the summer room of the three doors of the seasons)

    • Yellow flower - yellow rose (left behind from the wise sage)

    • Sweet water - drop of honey (from the beehive in the witch's house)

    • Yellow light - yellow gemstones (use the dials below the gemstones to rotate them)

  • Once everything is lined up, press the red button below the door to collect the yellow potion.

  • Use the map to return to the witch's house, use the blue potion on the mouse hole, then head inside.

Rat Hole

  • Collect lumps of tar and a matchstick off the bed.

  • Use the matchstick on the side of the bed to light it.

  • Make note of the symbols etched on the wall, then use the lighted matchstick on the candles.

  • Solve the candle puzzle by clicking the candles in the correct order.

    • The order comes from the shapes on the wall.

    • The number of lines for each shape determines the order (1-7, left-to-right).
      5, 3, 1, 4, 7, 6, 2

    • You acquire a candle.

    • Collect the white gemstone that appears above the candles.

    • Click the chess pieces to assemble them.

      • Click the piece that appears on the right and drag it to the correct base on the left.

      • Use the screenshot below to see the order you place each piece.

      • Screenshot

    Use the yellow potion (made at the potion factory) on the knight.

Black Gates

  • To get past the snakes, you have to click the charmers on either side in the correct order. Clicking on a snake will give you the order for it.

  • Solution:

  • (numbered 1-6, down the left column, then right)

    • For the lower left snake: 1, 4, 3, 5, 6, 2

    • For the lower right: 5, 6, 4, 3, 1, 2

    • Top snake: 2, 5, 6, 3, 4, 1

  • Once all the snakes have turned into stone, collect the black rose.

  • Use your map to go to the witch's house.

Witch's House

  • Use the candle (from the rat hole) on the fireplace.

  • Now use the lumps of tar (also from the rat hole) on the pot.

  • Finally, use the cherries (given by the witch) on the tar to receive cherries coated with tar.

  • Travel to the potion factory with the map.

Potion Factory

  • Use the white gemstone (from above the candles in the rat hole) on the last spot.

  • Now follow the recipe for the Open Sesame Potion:

    • White fruit - snow covered mango (from throwing the mango out the witch's window)

    • White flower - white rose (from the snowman at the white mountains)

    • Ice water - frozen water drop (from the bottom branch of the tree at the white mountains)

    • White light - white gemstones (use the dials below the gemstones to rotate them)

  • Once everything is lined up, press the red button below the door to collect the white potion.

  • Use your map to return to the black gates, use the white potion on the gate and head through.

Wizard's Lair

  • Use the magic bow (given by the witch) on the dragon.

  • Now battle the dragon!

    • Play the mini-game by clicking the bow with colored gems that match the dragon's eyes.

    • His eyes will (randomly) change over time, so you only have a few seconds to click the right bow.

    • It takes about a dozen hits to kill him.

Caged Sisters

  • Collect a black water drop.

  • Click one of the cages and read the riddle to solve the weight puzzle.

    • Click a weight to put it on the scale.

    • Unfortunately, there's no absolute reference in the riddle, so it takes some trial and error.

    • Solution:

      • Left sister: value of 6 - 1 silver, 1 copper

      • Middle sister: value of 3 - 1 gold

      • Right sister: value of 9 - 1 gold, 1 silver, 1 copper

  • Click each sister to free them from the cage.

  • Use the map to head to the orb room.

Orb Room

  • Click the sun princess to solve the crown puzzle.

    • By clicking a circle (each of which represent the sun, earth and moon), you will cause the appropriate circle to orbit it.

    • The goal is to create a solar eclipse (moon between the sun and earth).

  • Now use the map to go to the potion factory.

Potion Factory

  • Follow the recipe for the Open Spell Breaker Potion:

    • Black fruit - cherries coated in tar (from dipping them in the pot of tar in the witch's fireplace)

    • Black flower - black rose (at the black gates after turning the snakes into stone)

    • Black water - black water drop (from the pool at the caged sisters)

    • Black light - white gemstones (caused by the solar eclipse done in the orb room)

  • Once everything is lined up, press the red button below the door to collect the black potion.

  • Use the map to return to the orb room.

Orb Room

  • Use the black potion (made at the potion factory) on the sun princess.

  • Read the riddle, then solve the orb puzzle by clicking two portraits to swap them.

  • Hint:

  • Consider which direction these portraits may be 'going' (to go with the leading/at the rear clues).

  • The solution:

  • yellow at top
    green, bear, red, orange, blue, snake, bird

  • You've completed the game!

Bug: I was able to pick up two pots of ink.
Second problem: Got to the point where I was trying to repair the water source, was pretty sure I had found all of the gears, and yet it wouldn't let me zoom in to do the puzzle. Because of the doubled pot of ink, I worried that it had replaced one of my gears with the ink, so I started over, and made sure to not pick up another one. But it's still acting like I'm missing a gear. Does anyone have a list of the gear locations?

I need help with

The strange machine. I need to set fire to the wood, but nothing I use on it sets it to fire. Am I missing something? I have the statue head, pearls, a letter opener, missing pages, a rose, chilies, parchment, half a die coin, three pots, and the blue gem. Any help?

Oh wow. I'm stuck at what I presume to be the very last puzzle.

I can't remember which sister is Gabriella, which is Isabella, and which is Daniella. I've tried brute-forcing that part to no avail, so I assume I'm missing something else. Here's my logic:

"Sun is in the sky and sisters together" - The Sun Princess (the yellow face, I believe, since that's the only one with a crown like hers) goes in the top slot, and the three sisters (red, orange, blue) in the three bottom-middle slots in some order.
"The set is led by one with a feather" - The bird goes in the leftmost slot.
"Isabella is followed by her husband, the Bear" - The bear goes in the second slot from the right, and Isabella goes in the third slot from the right. I strongly suspect that the red face is Isabella, since she's the one holding the bear in the image in the review.
"Its young Prince Ivan, at the rear" - Prince Ivan (green face; I know it's him since it matches the bust of him in the lower left) goes in the rightmost slot.
"Daniella is the eldest and stays in the middle" - Odd, since the fish starts in the middle. But I'm sure Daniella (whom I suspect to be the orange face) goes in the bottom center. Gabriella (red face?) therefore must fall into the slot to the left. The fish goes in the second slot from the left, since that's the only one remaining.
"And thats (sic) all you need to solve this riddle" - So then why is my solution not registering as correct?

To review: my current setup has the yellow face at the top, then the bottom row has bird, fish, blue face, orange face, red face, bear, green face. Which apparently isn't the solution.

Ugh. Got it.

The ending was a little underwhelming.

It was text-only. Not even a splash screen of the family with the cured husbands.

Oh, and the "CONTINUE" button at the end opens up Playtinum's catalogue of iOS games. Apart from their adventure games, they've got quite a few casino games like slots and poker.

I'm stuck with a bug at the chess pieces. The pieces stick to my cursor and I can't place them. Sometimes I get all the way to the last one, and it sticks. If anyone has a secret to getting the pieces to unstick, let me know. Otherwise, I'm on to other games.

Reply

Hmm...

I've just made the yellow Grow Wings potion, but I can't find anything to use it on. The description says it doesn't work on living things, but I can't think of anything I could use it on and the raven is notoriously unhelpful about it.

Other than that, I've got all the ingredients I need for the Enlarge potion, but I suspect I need a white gemstone first. I've also got an earthen pot, frozen water drop, lemon, cherries, mango, white rose, and a magic bow.

Accidentally exited out of the browser window right when I was close to the end, and lost all my progress. I am not going through all that again. Fun game, but very long, has a few too many bugs, and no gosh darn continue button. :/

Reply
DuncmanG March 6, 2012 9:59 PM

@Darrick - I've had that before. Make sure to click *on* the chess piece before you drag. You can "select" it without clicking directly on it and then you get that error (I think).

@Jade - you need the second thing you mentioned before you use the first.

To get the white gemstone, you'll need to satisfy the cat.

Give him some milk first (you can get this from the goat).

Goat wants some grass, so pick some from the spot where the sage was.

After the cat has some milk, he'll want a rat instead.

So bait the mouse trap with some cheese. Remember, milk can become cheese.

Just add something sour

Normally I love long games like this, but there IS a reason why riddle-filled adventure games tend to be short -- with the problem solving and the finding things and etcetera, it takes a while. That's why making a long game such as this one NEEDS a "save" option. Most long games usually do come with one and due to the lack of a save in this game, I am now I'm being forced to rack my exhausted brain to look for all the little fruits and flowers scattered across thirty-three different places.

Oi..

Not bad, but not the best either. I liked the potion creation and the overall story. Some of the puzzles could use better instructions though, especially the maze.

4 mushrooms.

Reply

Ah, finally got it and completed the game. I'd give it 4 mushrooms too: some of the puzzles were quite clever, but it was buggy in some places and there are some solutions that I would never have figured out if I hadn't tried using every item in my inventory with every clickable thing out of desperation, like

setting the parchment on fire or throwing the mango out of the witch house's window to get it covered in snow.

I'm stuck at

Gabriella's library. I can't seem to figure out how to arrange the books.

The blue and black make sense, but "middle of red counts most of all" and "green starts with B and ends with E" don't really make sense. I tried to put the book with B on the left and E on the right but couldn't figure out what to do with the rest, and the red I'm lost on.

I'm not sure how many mushrooms this game deserves. Yes, it's meaty, and yes, it has a wide variety of puzzles to solve, although the built-in hint system and some of the contrived puzzles are ridiculously easy, as though they were intended for kids.

The jigsaw puzzle and the quilt pattern come to mind.

Without even getting into the bugs I and others have experienced, and without dwelling for too long on the issue of "women exist to be protected and saved and they'll happily marry their rescuer just because" (On the one hand, it's the traditional fairy tale trope, but on the other hand, has no one read Marlo Thomas' re-telling of Atalanta? Google "Free to Be You and Me" sometime.) there is my perpetual pet peeve. As this is coming from me, it's possible one or two of you have already anticipated what I'm about to say:

Engrish is one thing. I understand the challenges of wrestling with a foreign language and being ill-equipped to judge your translator's fluency. But I believe that Playtinum and Abroy ("Games for Smart People"?) are based in an English-speaking country, and it bothers me that they don't care enough to make sure their product displays even a perfunctory semblance of professionalism. The punctuation and general phrasing look like they were written by an excitable teenager whose lexicon is bereft of the concept of "editor." I lost all hope when I read "ur sisters." Up until that point, at least the spelling and grammar had been (mostly) halfway decent.

I know that this is not the game per se, but has anyone seen the official Abroy video walk-through of the game? The person playing the game swings between preparing something before a player would reasonably know that thing was needed and being more stymied by some puzzles than I was my first time through.

For example, the player attempted to use the picture of the tiger three times in a row to get the monkey to drop the crown.

Good walk-throughs strike the right balance between puzzle fluency and not circumventing the sequence of discovery. This one was just painful.

My assessment of the game, therefore, is that while the gameplay itself is not bad, it suffers in my eyes from a lack of pride of craftsmanship and professional polish.

Well, I got to the

potion factory

before realizing that I had long ago encountered a bug that made the rest of the game unplayable. Specifically,

I can't pick up the bucket of water in the old woman's garden. It is a full bucket of water, sitting on the well wall, and when I click on it, it just says "This bucket is filled with plain water" and won't let me pick it up. Super frustrating. Pretty sure I just wasted an hour of my life on a half of a game that I definitely am not planning to play through again, at least not until the bugs are all worked out.

Bug: right at the end, the potion factory stopped accepting fruits. I couldn't make any more potions. I refreshed the page and reloaded (the save function does work). Only then my yellow rose had disappeared from my inventory.

This game would have been a lot better if it was 1/2 to 1/3 the length.

Bugs + longish game = not fun.

Nice art and relaxing music though.

Reply

I can't make any potions. Through trial and error I manged to put the blue gemstone in the left slot of the right gemstone wheel, and the yellow gemstone in the bottom slot of the same wheel, but I have no idea how to rotate it. I also can't remove the gems now that I have placed them. I feel like this should be simple, but I have no idea how this is supposed to work. Can anybody explain to me how to make potions?

Nevermind, for some reason it let me put a blue gemstone in the other gemstone wheel, even though it wouldn't before, and now it is working.

Patreon Crew SonicLover March 8, 2012 8:10 AM

@TheGreatDane:

I assume you're referring to the puzzle where you need to arrange the circular portraits in the Orb Room.

The Sun Princess is yellow. Prince Ivan is green. The three sisters (red, orange, and blue) are the same colors as in the review image. Note that the blue sister is holding the fish, the red the bear, and the orange the falcon. You got the teddy bear in a Gallery, the silver fish in a Library, and the falcon claws in a Butterfly Garden; put all that together and the solution should be yours.

Reply

I really enjoyed this game. Although I agree that it seemed some puzzles were geared toward much younger children than the rest of the game,

Jigsaw puzzle, anyone?

for the most part I think it was a good difficulty level -- easy, but not so simple it required no thought whatsoever. I didn't run into any bugs except one, and that one was fixable, so I suppose I was lucky.

My bug allowed me to advance without breaking the sisters out of the orb in the orb room, which meant that I couldn't figure out why I was expecting to find my sisters at their castles or whatever when I knew they were back in the orb room. I didn't figure out I had skipped that step until I was trying to do the final puzzle and couldn't click on anything because the orb was in the way!

Meh. Size of the game and artwork is nice. Bugs aren't nice, I had to restart some of the drag and drop puzzles a few times (stained glass window, chess pieces...)

Gamewise, well, not up to scratch. The construction part is fine, but the inventory interface is rather uncomfortable. I had to resort to the hints and, at some points, the walkthrough because, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out the logic behind some of the puzzles, like the books (how are you supposed to sort out the letters or the numbers even if you get the book heights ok), the painting (the end result doesn't look like the knight's shield) or the orbs (am I supposed to associate monochromatic generic cartoonish faces to random girl names?)

All in all, the overall feeling is one of disappointment, from the too crowded menu screen down to the "continue" button at the end of the game that tries to open what I think is an iTunes link. Hello, no iTunes in Linux, for one.

The authors have spent a lot of resources on artwork and plotting the story and the map. They really need to play a few more games, or run this game through some people that do, so they can fix all the gameplay awkwardness and turn this trainwreck into a good game. It shouldn't be too difficult, the foundation is there and is solid.

Best wishes for a 1.1 version, and thanks for sharing!

I'm pretty sure I found a bug that makes it impossible to finish the game. When I

unfroze the Sun Princess and tried to click her, absolutely nothing happened. I left the room and came back and she wasn't there. I tried reloading the game to see if that would help, but apparently it had saved after she vanished.
