GrinnypRewind the hands of time back to 2005, a time when Jayisgames introduced us to the gorgeous yet disturbing work of Hanamushi, a website by Japanese artist, Enu (Akira Noyama), with a distinctly surreal and unique vision. Today, Hanamushi has been updated, adding a most startling, stylish, and downright beautiful point-and-click adventure game, Flower Insects, that will simultaneously mess with your head while leading you on a not-so-gentle tour of the revamped website.

grinnyp_hanamushi_screenshot3.gifJust click through to the Hanamushi website where you will be confronted with what looks like an unfinished drawing with various links to the website underneath. First, before you do anything else, notice the link at the lower right with the two flags. Click on it to make sure the US flag is on top, as this sets the language for the site to English. Then, find the missing pieces of the doll and her wind-up key, click on them to put everything into place, wind up the doll, and begin. Be prepared for a journey through the mind of the artist behind Hanamushi, a world that looks like it was illustrated by Terry Gilliam on a mind altering substance.

Journey through the land of melting lollipops and bizarre creatures by clicking hands at the top of the screen to move left or right, up or down. Hover the cursor carefully and notice the changes to find clickable areas that yield various bits of clothing or other fashion accoutrements. Collect them all, for they will aid you in your search for... well, that would give away a major plot point. The clothes and other things are not just for playing dress-up with the pretty dolly, they will in fact aid you in your quest, allowing you to enter certain areas or accomplish certain things. Within this bizarre world you will encounter mini-games as well, iterations of old classics such as Simon, Mastermind, Towers of Hanoi, etc., but so brilliantly and uniquely presented you might not recognize them right away for what they are. In the end you will be collecting a staggering 48 pieces of apparel to aid you.

grinnyp_hanamushi_screenshot2.gifThe world of the Hanamushi game is comprised of many scenes and layers; move far enough in one direction and you will discover that space is truly curved, and forward momentum in one direction will eventually place you back where you started. As with the universe, peer as far as you can see forwards and you will find yourself staring at the back of your own head, metaphorically speaking. If you find you need a breather the game automatically saves your progress, allowing you to come back again and again until you have explored every inch. Even when the game is nominally over there are still more wondrous things to use and explore. There is even, if you can find it, a way to erase your progress and start afresh, ready to tackle the game once again.

Analysis: What is most amazing and astounding about this wicked cool game is the fact that the website links are actually incorporated into Hanamushi's exceptional universe, allowing you to explore web content while simultaneously playing a game. How many banner games or portfolios can claim that? It is definitely worth the time to explore these little side worlds while exploring this microcosm of weirdness.

The downside to a game that is so thoroughly artistic is that the mechanics of the gameplay can become a little difficult at times. The washed color palette is visually stunning but can cause difficulty in the color-based puzzles even for folks with normal eyesight. You will find almost no explanations, so the dynamic of first figuring out what a particular mini-game is about may grate on those who are impatient. But for those who are looking to delve deeply into some pretty dark depths, the new Hanamushi game is something to savor.

It is almost impossible to describe the joy created by wandering in the strange, surreal universe that Hanamushi has created. The synthesis of art, animation, game, and experience is nearly flawless, and will leave the casual gamer breathless as they wander deeper and deeper into the morass. Stunning beyond all belief, this is not necessarily a game to play all in one go. Rather, the Hanamushi game is something to consume in small bites, lest you find yourself deep in the abyss that is the imagination of an extremely talented and (perhaps) disturbed individual. Take the time as well to check out the flash games, animations, and fantastical art when you stumble across the links. Well worth the effort, Hanamushi's work is simultaneously stunning, amusing, deeply disturbing, yet deeply and profoundly beautiful. Dive in, and relish the experience.

Dang. Can't figure out what to do with the balloon-head girl or the two monsters that are eating the hay...

I am totally stuck! Don't know how to get past the two guys eating hay, or the two men in the house.

I made everything the same in the two rooms, that doesn't seem to do anything! Then I made everything opposite, also nothing! No idea!

I'm also stuck on the final puzzle:

I tried dressing up like her

but eventually she broke apart anyway.
now I'm stuck on the sliding tile puzzle because I can't figure out what goes to the right of the sketchy girl's torso and knees. her head is above, but nothing fits to the right...


MrBearr:

In general for sliding puzzles I do them one row at a time, assembling each row in reverse order somewhere above it then 'rotating' the whole 'track' into place. More of a heuristic than a strategy, but it usually works out

I've tried to match up the colors for the rocket, and the electric is plugged in, and the upper color light is on. The closest color match I can get is the pink knit hat, the red stripe dress, and the rubber boots for the orange. Do I have any of them correct?

There is a tiny switch to the left of the second and third color you need to flip.

I picked up an item from the location described, 1 panel right of the BBS, but I don't remember what item it was. What is this mirror?

Reply

Yeah, I'm missing the last dress, too.

For the rocket, if the door is just rattling:

There are three steps:
(1) Plug in the power cord,
(2) push the power button,
(3) unlock the door by flipping the little latch just to the left of the power button.
After you do these three things, you should be able to enter the rocket.

giant girl - is a bit of a red herring. You need to do a bunch of other stuff first

water fish - you need some sort of flotation device. Or a bathing suit attached to one.

flying mouse - is scared away by wearing cat ears. The cat is just to the left a few screens.

rocket ship - collect a lot more items first! This should be one the puzzle you tackle at the end of all puzzles

eye monster(s) - do you mean the cats? See how baby cat has a red eye (or blue eye) and momma cat has mixed eyes? Turn all of momma cat's eyes the same color as baby cats

Great game! Reminds me of "Machinarium." But I got stuck on the snail. I've done the Towers of Hanoi before in other games, but this was just too hard for me. The snail movement was so awkward that I couldn't wrap my mind around it. But that's my deficiency. I just lacked the ability to do this version. I wish this had been a download so that I could have saved it and gone back to it at another time. But a BRILLIANT game!!!

I really enjoyed playing this game until the last minutes !

The design is really nicely detailed with a lot of different textures, it's really rich !
Overall, it was great despite the very annoying sliding puzzle !

@gamessquared:

I managed the "cat's eyes" puzzle by going to this website:

http://www.ueda.info.waseda.ac.jp/~n-kato/lightsout/index.html

You can create the same configuration as the one in the game and they will give you a solution. It's rather conveniant !

Is there anyway to get back to the bedroom? Because I finished the last puzzle and yet I never got the red barrette.

Reply

@gamessquared

The game saves your progress, as it says in the review, so you can go back to it at another time.

How to solve Towers of Hanoi:

Your first move determines where the tower will end up. If the total number of pieces is odd, move the smallest piece to the same position you want to move the tower to. If the total number of pieces is even, move the smallest piece to the position you don't want to move the tower to.

Every other move involves the smallest piece. The smallest piece always moves in the same direction, either left-to-right or right-to-left (wrapping back around at the end).

If the last piece you moved was the smallest piece, make the only other available move.

If the last piece you moved was not the smallest piece, move the smallest piece, in the same direction you moved it last time.

To solve the cat puzzle...

Or any other Lights Out puzzle, it does not matter what order you click the eyes/lights. All that matters is that you click the correct ones. In this case, the solution is to click all the eyes. (If the solution involves clicking only some of the lights, and you click one that isn't part of the solution, you just click it again to undo the effect.)

Ugh. Played until the bedroom puzzle - which I couldn't stand. Missed out on the rest. Oh well.

What is it with Japanese and sliding puzzles? I personally loathe them. Pretty decent game up until that point.

Wonderful game, thanks for the help and the walkthrough, definitely needed that at certain points! If this game sets the standard for this years casual gaming then I expect it to be a great year!

Has anyone worked out how to restart the game? I've done the 'twins' room but went upstairs to the roof without picking something up - now I can't get it to repeat the move. I need to start again but can't work out how! Help, please!?

Reply

@dickon

What do you mean - you can't get it to repeat what move? Did you not pick up the item that is revealed after solving the house/twins puzzle, and now it is no longer there?

Reply

I did't pick up the item and when I go back and do the puzzle again the upstairs guy won't move, so I can't pick up the item. Aghh!

In the little games within the game ( im playing Pock's friend ) and there seems to be a place in the hill behind him that needs a key. I havent found any thing about that in the walkthrough so does anyone know where the key is? I can only go back and forth between that spot and the flowers. Thanks.

Reply

fantastic! it would be perfect - with sound :)

@dickon

That's very strange. Once you complete the puzzle in the house, the upstairs twin shouldn't return to the upstairs room; he should still be in the downstairs room shaking hands with his twin. Sounds like you might have hit a bug. :(

@wjguest

To get the key in Pock's Friend:

Return to the screen with the flowers, and look for a butterfly...

Damn it! Why did they have to end with

I hate those. I've never managed to complete one of those in my LIFE. My brain freezes up at the sight of them.

I did find the butterfly and it goes to each of the flowers but I still cant find the key. I must be just overlooking it. Also Im changing outfits and getting in the rocket but now I need a yellow dress. Looked at all the clothing for the torso in the walkthrough and it doesnt list a yellow dress. What am I missing here? And thank's for your help.

Reply

does anyone have a screenshot of the bedrm before the sliding puzzle starts? I missed my chance :(

@wjguest

Re the key in Pock's Friend:

You need to do something after the butterfly lands on each of the flowers...

Re the rocket in Flower Insects:

The yellow article of clothing for your torso is...

the cat body

Sorry, I probably should have specified the color for every article of clothing!

Hi everyone~ I made a video walkthrough in case anyone is interested~ Sound quality very bad though.. sorry

@Acies: thank you so much for the vids! They helped a lot!

Awesome game, my sort of logic too. I only needed the walkthrough for the rocket ship area

I didn't realize I needed to turn the handle in the middle

. Really, really amazing art, and such a wonderful way to showcase it. The game itself was great, and so sweet. I loved it so much, I played through in one sitting.

Is it possible to finish the game or to even get the space ship going without doing the the puzzle on top of the spikey hill? I know how to do it but theres just no way I can remember the order of the wing flapping. Never could play the simon says game. im just missing 1 dress, 1 footware and 1 hat. But am wondering if Iv'e gone as far as I can. I hate to quit if theres another way.

Reply

Write down the order of the flapping, it helps alot.

i dont have a sliding game for the bedroom... the piece like flip and stuff x_x
and i already made the image of the bedroom except for the missing piece, but nothings happening

ShodoKat
Thank you for the hint. I now have every piece of clothing except the red bow thats in the bedroom and I still cant get the rocket ship to move and go up there. I have tried every combination over and over. I think im on the last one. Need black, white, and purple. But its just not working. Could you or anyone please tell me which to put on so I can move on? Thanks.

Reply

If you have everything but the barrette you should be fine.

top hat, fifth dress and fourteenth shoes

Reply

Didn't anyone notice that on the screen where you can changes the clothes of the doll -- you can also click on the doll in the circle? This makes the doll walk faster or slower, just what you want. Can come handy if you have to walk a long distance.

Reply

does anyone know where to find blue shoes? o_o

Reply

Instead of a sliding puzzle, I got a flip puzzle, which, when I solve it, doesn't do anything. The piece where the girl's legs are gets brighter and brighter, but I can't click it or do anything with it.

Reply

I'm with the previous poster. Frustrating to work that out and then the final puzzle doesn't work... Any ideas anyone?

Reply

Hmm.....So the "sliding puzzle" has changed, as of 1/22/10
It is now a rotating block puzzle...Once I finished it, NOTHING HAPPENS!
Anyone have some insight?

Reply

The game finished for me, took forever tough. That rocket ship thing makes me hit my head on the computer desk >_<

Reply

it it only me who knows the final puzzle's changed- now you have to click on the pieces and they turn arond-only i've finished it (i think!) and nothing happened..help?

Reply

I tried everything [Mirrored] the second floor of the house [Blue Dress on Door] to the first floor,.... nothing! ;-(

Can anyone help me on this problem?

Thanks!

Holy cow, I did not think online flash games could get this good! I love how wonderfully this game's story is woven!

And if you didn't really get the story:

When you enter the bedroom, there's the crying girl. But take a look around:

In the top right, there's a car smashed through the wall, with it's window shattered. To the left of the car there's a picture frame with a family. The 'dad' on the right has a top hat, the 'mom' on left as a green feathered hat, and the girl has a bow.

When you solve the last puzzle, the crying girl holds the missing doll, (you), and the image of the car is shattered and fades, this shows that she has found her closure.

When you fall back down, the screen with previously huge red shoes/feet, is now empty. When you look up, you see a star, and when you look back down, you see a third, smaller grave, (between the one here where you got the top hat and the one where you got the feathered hat) and there you can get the bow tie. The third grave is obviously the girl's who is now with her parents.

Interesting note about the bow: it can be worn with any other hat; i.e. Apple, halo, straw hat...

There are also a lot of hints that point to what you are:

You can see that you are a doll, the first time you play, you have to "assemble" yourself, and your elbows/knees are disjointed.

Unlike the crying girl, you have no hands or feet, but rather many different articles of clothes (think dress up dolls).

Aside from that, every time you start the game, a key appearing on the flower-insect symbol has to wind you up before you can actually move.

Reply

I think my game 'glitched at the 'Blue Dress' House! I can't get the 2 dudes to shake hands and receive the 'straw hat'. :( Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Reply

I just tried the mirrored people part, and everything worked for me... Not sure how to help you without seeing what you've done. I'll just make a list of thing you need to watch for:

#1 Picture of the 2 brothers

tilts inward

#2 Picture underneath it

green part faces outter edge of house

#3 Blue yarn ball

should be far from table

#4 Light

should be on

#5 Dude

should be drinking tea

#6 Clock

around 1:40ish for guy on 2nd floor (ie. short hand should point up and out, long hand should point down and in)

#7 Red yarn ball

should be fine as is, but in case you accidentally clicked it away from the stairs, then make it go back to the stairs

That worked for me just now...

For the final sliding puzzle, yeah looks like they changed it. For this version, when I did it, I also thought it didn't work... but in the end, I found out why and it wasn't a glitch (not when I played it anyways). Here's what I did wrong:

The piece for under the bed, left and right is very similar. It's hard to tell if you did anything wrong if you have it flipped along the vertical axis (ie. what you thought was the left side is actually the right side).
So try reversing those and see if it helps. Otherwise, look around to see if anything else of that sort might have happened.

That was just what I got wrong.... so it may not help you. But I hope it helps! =)

Thanks for your assistance Acies, but 'No Dice'! I'm 'dead in the water' so to speak. Game has definately 'glitched'. ;(

Whoa!! It was the 'clock' on the 2nd. floor that wasn't turned to 1:40! That doesn't 'mirror' the 1 st. floor clock showing
11:17 though,....... but who cares, I'm in!!
:D. Thanks Acies!!

does this game work on firefox?

Is the game supposed to be silent? Because I'm not getting any sound :/

How do you get to the bedroom?

@ Ginger: by going in the rocket ship =)

Okay, so:

I got to the bedroom and I think I finished the slider puzzle, but nothings happening. I've looked and looked but all the pieces seem to match.

finally! it worked.
the ending was really dramatic.
why was the girl in scribble?

Loved this game. The atmosphere is incredible and you don't have to break your wrist trying to solve the puzzles. It's a sad story. I wish the doll would end up somewhere happy at the end.

This site doesn't work for me at all. Not in Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer. Has anybody the same problem?

Regarding after the bedroom puzzle/scene: I didn't have the

bat wings when I took the rocket ship to the bedroom and solved the puzzle to get the end animation. I was put back in the cemetery and got the red bow, but I don't get the about flashing for mesage and I there doesn't seem to be any of the extras talked about in the walkthrough.

Any suggestions other than playing again?

Reply
ShodoKat March 11, 2010 6:46 PM

I'm pretty sure you can still get them without restarting. (I had to do that myself)

There is just a little side game at the end, just walk around a bit and you will locate the extra items

gah. solved the bedroom puzzle, but nothing is happening.
any suggestions?

Reply

If nothing is happening after you think you've finished the flip puzzle, you have not actually finished it. Double check your corners and make triple sure you've got everything lined up and oriented correctly. Once the puzzle is truly finished, click on the lit tile. As a last resort, there have been some screenshots posted that may help.

I'm stuck and could use a spot of help

I have circled the ground level, haven't got past mouse yet and can't get the rocket to work. The rocket requires a yellow middle and I've tried the spotted dress, the orange dress and the brown squares dress and none work. Any Help?

Reply

Absolutely wonderful game. I've already played it through twice within 24 hours of first discovering it. And I could probably play it again tomorrow, too!

Shame there's no sound. It's fine without music, but some sound effects or ambient sounds would add nicely to the atmosphere. That's a small blemish on an otherwise beautiful game, though.

Loved the dressing up, too! How adorable! My fave outfit's the gothic lolita dress (the black one with lace), with the high-heeled black boots, the bunny ears, red ribbon and pink hair. So much fun that I think JIG could do with a "dress up" tag!

Also, I don't know if anyone's pointed it out yet (spoiler tags make it hard to ctrl-f), but there's a reason the red ribbon can be worn on top of other headwear: it's the cheat mode. Wearing the red ribbon, you can access any clothing-related area or event, no matter what you're wearing.

This game was beautiful. I definately think it should be taken further, like made for a games console, such as the Nintendo DS. I think a lot of people would get it - I would for sure!
I finished it and want more! Thanks for the walkthrough btw.

Reply

I love this game with its 'click-and-discover' concept and for being creepy adorable and deceiving simple (it's not). But I have a problem. ^^;
I finished everything and then

was dumped into the night after-scene, problem was I couldn't find any of the extra items, even with the walkthrough's help. And after I closed and reopened the game, I was back in the daylight scene, and everything except the inventory and the clothes' hiding spots were reset.. No extras either ^_^;

Any ideas? Is there any way I can completely restart the game? It's a lil frustrating lol..

Reply

Ah I fixed my own problem already lol. Here's how.

Go to your Adobe Flash Player content settings, and turn the meter for hanamushi.jp 's information storage thingy to 0. Instantly deletes all stored data for the site.
lolz just in case anyone forgets (o-o) --> Turn it back to 100 so that future games will be saved.

Yosh, instant game restart. =)

This game is absolutely beautiful! Really, I'm completely in love with it The only thing I missed was a BGM (and a picture feature, to record some scenes in high res without the arrow hands :D XD - I'd love to stare at those in high res!!) 5/5 :)

Well, already finished, but when I understood the plot... I'd almost cried... too cute and sad...

jennykim610 December 19, 2013 3:51 AM

What the heck...

the last puzzle is not a sliding, it's a turning puzzle (if that makes sense)! You click on a tile to rotate it until you get everything right!

Reply

Hey, I can't find the switch language thing that used to be at the bottom. Anyone knows why it's gone?
