I Have 1 Day
You've been knocked on the head and placed into a prison cell, and there's some kind of coronation going on in a little less than 24 hours. Your first priority is going to be figuring out who you are, why you are where you are, and what to do about it. Then you need to figure out what you need to get in order to do it, and finally, you have to figure out how to get it all done in the time period you have.

I'm having a hard time with the three wizards second puzzle.
It's a crossing puzzle and I'm always poor with those.
Blue 2 hrs
yellow 1 hr 40 mins
red 20 mins
me 10 mins
I keep sending me with blue first, because it takes me the least time to get back across the poison, but by going:
me+ blue, me, Me+yellow, me, me+ red
nabs me a time of 4hrs 20 mins and a score of just OK.
Can someone tell me a better way?
Any hints for getting dragon water? Or passing the wizards?

Dragon Water:
You can distill the urine, but he said there are other ways to get it. Where do creatures make water from?
You could make the dragon cry.
Use an onion from the prison garden.
Wizards:
The first puzzle is relatively easy. Just think of who is the only one you know can be telling the truth.
The Yellow Wizard, who explained the rules to you.
The second puzzle is a bit more tricky. You want to find the most efficient way across. While you might think that since you are the fastest, it makes sense to always send you back, there is a more efficient way.
Combining the yellow and blue together on a trip across is necessary for the shortest possible time. But you don't want to send one of THEM back with the lantern... You want someone faster already there, ready to take it back.
Send yourself and Red across first, then you back. Then send Yellow and Blue across, and Red back. You and Red are free to cross for the shortest possible time.
Oh wow, you didn't realize
muting the game
quieted the guard, joye?
I'd think that people here are used to that sort of thing by now.
Well, I've worked for JIG for over a year now, and I've been playing games a lot longer than that, and I have to say that I've never before played a game where
volume controls
were used for in-game purposes except of course for
riddle games like I Don't Even Game.
That's not to say that such games don't exist, mind you, just that my
fourth wall
expectations for straightforward point and click games tend to be pretty firm.
I'm pretty sure Humbug had audio messing-around-withness and that was reviewed a mere few weeks ago.
Humbug didn't have that.
Also, in games like Humbug, it's clear from the beginning that the puzzles require you to break the fourth wall. There's none of that here.
Breaking the fourth wall is pretty unusual, but not unheard of. It reminds me of something Sierra would have done back in the day.
I really enjoyed this game and I'm an adventure game fanatic. My favourites include Monkey Island 1 & 2, Day of the Tentacle, and my abolute favourite King's Quest 6, so this art-style is definitely a throw-back to back then.
The concept is interesting. A very unique take on adventure games. I was initially afraid it would be complicated with the whole back-tracking but it wasn't.
I HATE adventure games with completely illogical puzzles. None of that here. Excellent pacing, good humour, multiple endings, this is a new favourite!
I eventually got the 4th wall break. Frustrating at first, but once you get it it's a great feeling!
Great job!!
The fact that you can ignore a couple of items that you will absolutely need later on is pretty Sierra-like too...thankfully the game is really short, not particularly hard and you can revisit every hour.
It's an interesting concept, I liked it.
After waiting for the guard to let me out the first time and wondering why I don't have enough time to finish my quest, I realized this was a sweet one.
I escaped the prison but apparently I have a curse, but i didnt see any mention of how I got it. Did I miss something?
I thought that too, but no, you aren't missing anything. It'll be more clear when you talk to the wizard guy.
Finished the game. It's very easy, and I can say I like the perfect ending a lot. Didn't see the "almost" ending though; will do now.
Ok, this is either my computer being silly or me...but i cant seem to get started :/ I click "new game" and it takes me to a scene with two guys, one with a bow, standing opposite a castle and mote. When i click it dosnt seem to do anything :P
maria: I've got the same problem. Not sure what's going on there.
This game was fantastic! Loved it!
Question about the end:
Did anyone figure out how to save the King? Is that possible? I would have thought not, but at the end the prince says, "If I'd done something differently I could have saved you." And when I checked their walkthrough I saw a picture with the king restored. Anyone have any ideas?
Oh, also, for the walkthroughs above, there's an alternate way to
complete the first tasks (the way I ended up doing it). You can just clean up the dirt in the cell and have the guard come by and give you your bag of swag; there's still plenty of time to go down to the job board and get the dough before Zanda's shoppe opens at 7:00.
The funny messages you get when you die also remind me of the Sierra point and click games, like King's Quest.
I freaking love this game.
Great! I also like Cronon (available here on JIG), another time-sequence game.
I would have never muted the game since I keep my computer muted
@phil
To answer your question
you have to make it to the throne room before 22:00 to save the king.
Also,
you cannot achieve the perfect ending if you wait the 3 hours to clean the jail cell. Here's the math:
The guard won't let you out until 3:00.
It takes 2 hours to make it from the jail to town.
The job takes 1 hour.
It takes 2 hours to go from town to Zanda's
3:00 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 8:00 when you arrive at Zanda's not 7:00.
This means if you do everything else right, your base won't be ready until 15:00 and the wand won't be finished until 20:00. Now add 1 hour to make it to the gate and 1 hour to make it to the throne room and it is already 22:00. The king is a frog.
You have a naked Scarecrow - use it on yourself.
"Aww, nothing left to strip."
Tee hee!
I went back and found ways to die or fail:
Dragon:
Don't set up the scarecrow - get charred. Whoops.
Don't use the urine on yourself and try to leave - CHOMP! Om nom nom. The dragon says you taste GRRREAT!
Simply run out of time - this happened at the Wizard's house.
Show up late to the coronation and do nothing - you are sent flying off and die. *Team Rocket is*...wait, wrong animation.
Show up on time to the coronation and do nothing - get arrested.
Or you can use the spell on the Black Wizard and just stand there - you'll still be arrested.
Show up on time to the coronation and use the wand on the wrong person - you are sent flying off and die.
Wrong people - Left Guard, Right Guard, King, Prince (before on Black Wizard), anyone other than Prince (after on Black Wizard)
Go back into jail before the Guard leaves - yeah, you're now in Maximum Security. Smart move.
Leave the Prison Grounds while in your jail outfit - your legs are broken and you're back in jail. Congratulations.
Does anyone know of any others?
You can also die by:
Not leaving the scarecrow body in the bed and having the guard discover you escaped, and using the fast-forward spell on yourself
Im surprised no-one's got the monty python reference in the review yet.
I beat the crossing puzzle in 3:20 :P
Forgot the solution :(
I played this game through once and i thoroughly enjoyed it. I've always been fond of pixelated games as such. ^-^
@douglasadamsreborn, just because it wasn't commented on doesn't mean it wasn't noticed.
I laughed when I read it. :) Monty Python ish awesome.
This game was incredibly fun, I rather enjoyed getting nommed by a dragon and flying off into space... :D
Just to correct the walkthrough a bit, joye...
To watch the "Almost" ending, you just have to click the clock before the king orders his guards to apprehend you. You don't necessarily have to go back to the castle gate scene (and click the clock) to get the froggy end.
awesome game! short simple but clever! Im liking it :D
Hey, this one's pretty wonderful! Charming, quirky, and light.
Agreed that the fourth wall thing is a little tricky--missed it even after being warned. True it's not shockingly radical, esp. as there's lots of little self-conscious jokes scattered in here (like the fountain graphics)--but it does feel very different from the logical, item-combination orientation of the rest of the game, so I see where Joye is coming from.
Question about the end credits in the Perfect solution:
Who's the dude standing on the wall at the end in the Prince's usual spot, who gets killed by a knight or something at the end of the credits? Is that meant to be the Prince later in time?
Cute that he marries Sue the "jobs lady," btw.
