how on earth do I turn music off and leave SE on ?
Having trouble loading the game. Just getting a white screen. Firefox. Will try other browser.
@Neo, I've run into this problem fairly regularly lately on games hosted on the JIG server. The fix for me is to disable my ad-blocker on that page, then reload. I don't know why this started happening, and can't promise it'll fix the issue you're encountering.
I do love my Firefox but, when it comes to playing Flash games, Chrome is always better... faster... stronger. (Chi-ti-ti-ti-taaa)
@elle, did you just go all 60 million dollar man on me?
What you need to know:
As per review, you have to wait for an animation to end before you can get anything else to work. If you try an item with a hot spot before the previous animation has finished, you won't get any reaction.
All item combining happens automagically
What you are trying to do:
Capture a dragon!
To do this you need to get the boat ready which needs the following:
A sail.
From sleeping sailor screen.
A rudder.
Outside of cave.
Some food to attract the dragon.
Basket on boat. Fruit outside of cave.
A net to catch the dragon in.
Get well handle from Genie. Use on well. Collect fruit if you haven't already and enter cave. Give pipe + leaves??? next to sleeping sailor to blacksmith.
Something to fix the dodgy plank on the boat.
Barrel of tar from blacksmith.
A compass.
Get beer by playing the barrel subgame. Just make all the pipes connect. Give to blacksmith.
A bow
Give rope from boat + branch from Genie to beer barrel bloke.
and arrows
Play the Genie subgame and win a jewel. Give jewel to sleeping sailor to gain coins. Give coins to beer barrel bloke.
Once you have all of that it is time to sail.
Use bow and arrows on sleeping sailor.
Use sails on mast.
Use barrel on plank.
Use compass on round piece of wood.
Use rudder on back of boat to left.
Click on up arrow next to mast to sail.
Capture the dragon.
Use berries on middle bottom of screen.
Use net on dragon.

a walkthrough in the works?
Game has potential but needs to be cleaned up. Movement between screens isn't fluid, slight lagging in other areas too. Game play is towards random guessing of which items go to which person and having to wait to retry an item is annoying. Visually looks good though and conceptually isn't a bad idea, just needs work. 3/5
@Paul - See my notes above, that should get you through, everything you need to know is there. Shout if you get stuck.
mdb,yeah i didn't realize your post was a walkthrough until after i posted mine. i do have a suggestion though
the last puzzle with the arranging of 1-25, i'm not good with those slider puzzles. do you think you Post step by step directions on how to get to solve it? other then that, great job.
Most of the gameplay consists of giving random items to random people and getting a random item in return. There needs to be a clear relationship between those for it to be good. Try everything on everything is a failure state of the player who can't solve a puzzle. It should not be the primary mechanic to move forward.
The slider puzzle is the last thing to do and putting in a detailed solution here would take ages. I solve it by sorting the top row, then the second row and finish by solving the last two rows together. It isn't that difficult (for me, I know some people hate them) so keep at it until you work out how they work.
@Mystify - I agree. The try everything with everything is made worse by the animation which causes this process to take ages.
i spent over 5 minutes and came nowhere close to solving it MdB. that's why i said an easy way to solve it step by step might be an idea here.
Sliding Puzzle Solution:
(this may not be the 'best' solution, but it's the shortest I could come up with)
The numbers indicated the number on the tile you should click on, not its position.

[Edited so it's correct. Sorry. -Kyh]
kyh, that solution was not correct. but it's ok.
If the animation is slowing you down, right click and set the quality to low. Just don't do that during the cup game!
