Rather disappointed that the game starts out by saying 5 items, and you're done after you quickly get 1 :/
Pretty straight forward game. I like it alot.
I'm stuck at
the part where I have to find the jewel to activate the contraption.
@ShadedHope,
use the sword to cut open the chair :)
Ah, yet another PastelGames game. Unfortunately, this game could have used some 'onHover cursor changing' over movement hot spots like arrows. That said I've enjoyed the game so far but am stuck despite knowing what it is I need to do.
The red telephone feels like a literal red herring right now though there is a part from it that I would like to grab if I could. Odds are I've missed a tool somewhere or the right hotspot. The color scheme works well to help you know what is important but if you miss the 'hidden' blue stuff its rather frustrating...
Finished game. A little searching but nice short game.
That was fun! Very 'Pink Panther' sort of mood. Solved it easily enough, but:
What was the deal with the 2nd TV screen? The one that said 'error'? It had clickable buttons but didn't seem to do anything. Red herring?
ElliotM,
look closely at the "fishbowl on table" scene. there's an important tool that's easy to overlook. it has 2 purposes, which i'm sure you'll recognize quickly.
how can this be categorized as anything other than "escape the room?"
its short alright. the video walkthrough on YouTube is 2:07 from standing in front of the desk to out! thankfully, it takes a bit longer than that to solve it the first time, LOL!
well crafted little time killer. i'd recommend this to anyone with at least 2:07 to spare.
One thing I dont like:
You cant zoom and tear the chair until you get the crystal
Where is this
sword
you speak of Artic?
Never mind...
PoP.

UPDATE: The errors in the walkthrough have (finally) been corrected.
Great game, Brad! A few confusing bits but hooray for no pixel hunting.
I got stuck once. I didn't understand you could
drag the clock hands
. How embarrasing.
Time for criticism!
- When you point at an inventory item it moves upwards, dodging the cursor. Only Steve Jobs gets away with this one. :)
- When you want to put an inventory item back, you have to point at the exact item, which is a bit unnecessary. How about just dropping it anywhere on the inventory bar.
- Zoom out areas aren't marked. I had to guess which corner works in each screen.
-
You give the player a screwdriver that only works on one set of screws.
Sorry, I'm completely unable to assemble the thingy at the end.. I've tried every click at every point with every item. Nothing works...
Nice game. But VERY easy. It wins on the presentation, but the puzzles could be more challenging.
I love the humour - especially when the fish lies in the glass.
can't do...
the clock. I set it at 4:00 but doesn't work. the note on this says to look at something on the screen left but no matter what i do,doesn't work. Any ideas?
Paul
Add an hour
question toward the end
where to you put all 4 items on the coat rack? i can only put the gadget and lightbulb on it. the other 2 i cannot figure out. Any ideas?
Nice short game. Can't wait for the next episode. Hope it a little more challenging...
paul:
fish tank - on the floor around where the door is
wire - between fish tank and coat rack.
I have everything for the end part. But what is the Device? I'm not able to put anything any where after I do the bulb and bowl.
Very nice game, highly remeniscent of the Escape From... series.
But whenever a new Mateusz game comes out, there's a tiny part of me thinking "Why isn't he working on the next SubMachine, darnit?" :-). They're always so cool it's a very tiny part, though.
Everyone having trouble with the endgame:
It's all on the blueprint: lightbulb at the top, fishbowl at the side, clock innards in the upper-middle and wire from the clock to the fishbowl. Then the gem in the middle of the clock.
Did anyone ever find a use for the
second television screen with the pushable buttons?
Other than that one unused object, this was a really fun game. I like easy ones every once in a while.
Wow, that WAS easy. I can't remember the last time I actually beat a point n' click game without looking at a walkthrough!
Fun, though.
I think I have found a frustrating glitch. No matter how many times I program in the 3 symbol code on the drawer lock, it plays the animation showing the lock falling off, and then zooms out to display the lock still on the drawer.
I've tried this so many times, and it never lets me in the drawer after I unlock the lock. Anyone else have that issue?
I think there's a couple of things missing from the walkthrough...
1st
I think the clock hand goes to 5, not 4
2nd
there's no mention of the blueprints, which you need to be able to put the gem in the device.
And of course I can't find those! o.O
For those of you having problems with the clock
I was looking at the wrong clock. I was actually looking at the guage which, according to the walkthrough, is on the left of the clock. The real clock is above the chair. Doh...
My time was 5.00 so I don't know if there's a mistake in the walkthrough or if it's a randomised time.
PS
I am registered but can't remember my user name. Bad memory!
Your spoiler fails, you give the incorrect time to set the clock.
Play Sneak Thief 1: Prime Catch...
PUSH CAN PLAY???
A couple of minor annoyances, but what bothered me in particular was that there were no arrows to indicate zooming out or switching screens. Even though I knew it, I still couldn't shake off the feeling that maybe, just maybe there was an object close to the end of the screen that I had to find, and ended up switching screens back and forth several times during the game.
Other than that, it was a thoroughly enjoyable 10 or so minutes.
and if you look carefully, you can see that you don't need to do the actions in an order except the scene that needs a knife
Alright so, it took me about 20 minutes just to figure out how to
cut the freaking chair open.
I didnt know you had to zoom in first -.-
where do you get the dovis on the clock?
