I CAN'T DO THE ROCKET SHIP!!!

It's So Frustating

(sorry about the spoiler thing, I couldn't help myself but at least it isn't 'two' extreme (Bad pun, I know))

Weird and somewhat funny bugs.

After I beat it I decided what the heck lets mess around with it. Some rather comical bugs I have found.

First off it is possible to enter the water mini-game while in the jaytrix but it is unplayable due to the guy and the crab not showing up. However after you drown you will still be in the jaytrix color scheme yet it will be the normal overview.

After seeing this I thought could I have fun with it. The answer is yes as you can see below.

The above is the result of jatrix+ water minigame + rocket mini-game which was not only played in jatrix but also upside down. When finished I was left with the above....

THANK YOU FOR THE SPACESHIP LOWERING TIP,

though I can't find your post anymore, so sorry but I don't know your alias.

Fun game...some parts are a little too tough. For example - the targets. I use a track ball, and it must have taken me 1/2 an hour to get enough.

Bummer note -- I was well into the game when I went into the Jaytrix, wasn't having any luck and decided to come out and try back later...none of my progress was saved. Too much effort to go back now.

I can't for the life of me figure out the cirle puzzle on the Jaytrix. I read the walkthrough and don't get the concept of the

(Hope I did the spoiler right. O.o)

Please help!!

NONE of your progress was saved?! o_O

That's very unusual. The only window of opportunity I can see where that could happen is the scenario that FunnyMan mentions above regarding concurrency.

Reloading the game (or entering the Jaytrix) should have no impact on the game's ability to save. =/

NOOOooOOoo!!! WARNING TO ALL: This may sound a bit obvious so then this is just to address people like me. If you leave the Jaytrix by right clicking and selecting "Forget My Progress", it will forget your progress...completely...in the whole game. Not just in the Jaytrix!! You will have to start all over. Like me... :*-( So BE CAREFUL!

HELP! I can't find the "G" - at the very top of my comments page there is the Casual Gameplay Banner Game - somewhat below there is the smaller "banner" where you can't see the whole picture....where is the G?

Sorry, I just changed this page. It now has the main banner. You will have to travel to a different page on the site to find the "G". :)

I'll update the walkthrough.

A little Easier and much faster way to get the big rock to show (don't know if this is already discovered)

~Gigafrost

I've also managed to complete the entire game, and noticed a little "Easter Egg" as well:

So what do I do if I do not see a banner at all? I've got flash 9 and both firefox 2 and the latest IE...no banenr in either.

I'd say that's probably a problem with your Flash Player, Ashallond. What else could it be?

Do you see the JIG Puzzle game (just beneath "Support JIG") in the left sidebar? That is also Flash.

Does anyone have a cheat for the underwater game?

After about a million tries, I just can't get to the end of that one & all the rest of the letters seem to depend on it.

I got 9 other letters all by myself & it's a shame to have this frustrating #?*!ed "game" destroy the experience. Jaytrix was a piece of cake next to this.

Love the concept, but will probably have to give up after so much frustration.

Once I used the wand, it's gone and can't be used again... the wizard peeks out when I hover the reed, but doesn't come out again.

1) Correct. The wand is single use. You'll have to retrieve it again to use it again.

2) The Wizard will come out if a condition is met.

zann - don't give up! The underwater game is really easy if you keep this in mind:

Nathanyel, to see the wizard fly, every time:

One other tip, that made a big difference to winning the underwater game!

Ok this is annoying for the letter e...

Never mind on the e...

With thanks to FunnyMan for pointing out the concurrency issue, we have just uploaded a new version that should take care of any problems resulting from having the game open in multiple windows.

Yes I can see that game just fine. I do like the new setup of it than the older one. However, after making sure I updated to the absolutely newest one, I see nothing. I'm not even seeing a box or anything for the banner to be in for it not to work.

My guess is that it is something within your configuration.

The game has been successfully tested on all 3 platforms and a wide variety of browsers.

Can you try disabling any plug-ins you may have added to your browser set-up? Can you try using a different browser? Can you try accessing it from a different computer?

I cannot seem to see the wizard at all either. I have tried all sorts of permutations with the lanterns, reeds, etc.

Wizard troubles solved: I misunderstood "light the "l" " in the walkthrough above.

There's this weird double

that can be done.

how do you lite the L in casual?

Ashley - play with the fireflies. :)

I don't believe it! I went to all that trouble to light up all the letters so it wouldn't be dark, and by the time I'd finished the Sun had come up!

great game, though the rocket thing was a pain in the neck.

AAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!i can't make the wizard appear!!!!!

wait!YES!!!! i got the wand!!!!!!!!

Where is the comments page used to get the 'G'?

You're on the comments page, but you can't get the G here anymore. You'll have to try a different page. Try any other page but this one and the main JIG homepage.

Ugh I can't get the wizard to fly out! I click on the button in the l in casual it lights up for a few seconds i roll over EVERYTHING i dont know what reeds you are talking about. Somebody help?

Matt
The reeds are at the top right-hand corner of the pond.

Hi Jay what a great idea making your banner into a game. I was able to do almost all of the letters - with help of the walkthrough - but I am just too stupid to get the S and way too slow for the L in gameplay. I never was any good in Hapland. So now every time I go to your site I am (not so gently) reminded of my failure :}.
Oh well nevermind I still loooooove your site and now on to the new Haluz and Gotmail, there goes the rest of the day.

or

Heh, thanks EMDF. I still can't believe this has only received a little over 50 diggs. =/

How do you light the L? I know it sounds stupid but it only flares and no body actually mentions realy lighting it. I was able to light the P and M though.

someone pleeeeease help, i cant get G

I got the L but it would be more helpful if the walkthrough was in some sort of order. At least putting the L first so that the wand doesn't sound so out of place.

And to get the G

I need help. I lit the L, but is it supposed to go out? And why won't the wizard come out. Roll over does that just mean to put your mouse over it?

monkey - the L will go out if there's nothing to keep it lit. Perhaps there's something you can get to keep it lit?

The wizard will come out only after a certain condition has been met. You might try to get other letters first. But yes, a roll over means mouse over. :)

heya luv this game but i'm pretty crap i got. 4 or maybe 5 letters lit up

cannot at all do any of the jaytrix stuff my screen half fills up with stripy squares [is that normal] and i don't know how to get back to that normal game

NEED HELP NOW ...................PLEASE

please help

QUIK

Hahaha, yes it's normal. To get back, just reload the page. :)

But after having posted that comment, I guess you already know that now. ;)

I've been to the comment page but i still cant find G. WAAAAAAAAA, I cant get the other 2 letters if i cant find g. Is there something im missing? Am I supposed to go somewhere else?

how do you get the L?

I can't seem to get the G to work. When i go to other pages on the site, this banner game isn't at the top. What can I do?

I found this weird but cool glitch in the game. It makes everything upsidedown while your not in the Jaytrix.

I found this while screwing around with the game.

Hi - I cannot figure out how to keep the "l" in Casual lit. I know - I'm stuck at the beginning! Any help? Thanks!

i would digg it

IF I COULD FIND IT!

[Edit: It's in the banner at the top of the page. The banner is the game! It's Flash, so if you're not seeing it, you may have to update your Flash Player. -Jay]

I can't even figure out how to use the wand. Someone help please...

i cant get the ''s''! someone help me

yay i beat it!! really cool game ;)

Has anyone noticed that after you complete the game that the tiny clickable lights hanging by the trees change to a different color pattern every time you revisit JIG or refresh the screen? Just wondered if there was a hidden game or level here.

haha I found an easter egg, though more of a bug than anything... If you click the big rock

as it is falling you grab the rock and what's behind it at the same time. It also continues to follow the mouse no matter how much you click. Anyway, I have found much enjoyment out of this great idea!

i still dont get how to get the wand!!!

i light up only the letters m, p, y in the word "gameplay"

I cant enter the jaytrix!!! help me... My browser is Opera last version, im from México, does this have influence in this point of the game? HELP!!!

I can't get the rocketship to show up no matter what I do...have even started the game over a few times to make sure I'm not doing something in the wrong order....starting to get frustrated with an otherwise cool game...any help?

Toni - don't get frustrated. The rocketship won't appear until after you light the 2nd 'a' in gameplay, which is the one where you make the little stick man fish.

Then just reload the page and the rocket should be there.

glith:

I can't seem to get the G and that's keeping me from finishing it... nevertheless a good game.

For some reason I can't right click on the banner. I am using updated firefox, and updated flash player, I just cannot right click on the banner. I can right click on all sorts of other flash windows, just not this one. Please help?

I am also stuck on lighting that first L. I feel so left out...

Aww, nana, don't feel left out. :)

It's really quite easy. Here's a step by step:

in the game theres no jaytrix got u sign
and yes i have the latest v. of flashplayer

i cant get the wizard to get out!!!!

The wizard is a bit shy, and won't come out if anyone is near. ;)

Jay, you are great host. Nobody feels left out.

Argh! I cannot for the life of me get that frog to turn into a person!
Here's what I'm doing:
1) Get the frog so it is sitting where the rock was.
2) Get the frog to jump onto a lily pad.
3) Get the wand.
4) Drag the wand onto the frog.
All that does is scoot the lily pad over a bit!
What am I doing wrong?

I gave the frog a "happy ending" and I know how to move the lily pads, I just don't know how to get the real boy 'into' the ship...

Help, please?

veggie - I think the problem you're having is with the hotspot for the wand, which is not the tip of it. Try using the tip of the mouse pointer as the hotspot instead.

JKoss - assuming you have the rocket ship showing, just turn the frog into the little guy before you make him jump on a lily pad.

cheers, nana. ^_^

When i rightcick it says "do a jig" not "the jaytrix has you" im using firefox 2.0.0.7 and the latest version of flash. Im using a mac with osx 10.4.10.

What is the problem?

There is no problem, Johan.

The right-click context menu displays different things depending on what OS you're using. For Mac OS, the menu should read "do a jig".

Aha. Thanks a lot, jay.

You're a pal!

Yay!
Thanks, jay! I beat the game!
I like "do a jig." I wish mine said that...

very nice game, i like it, and i have to say that finding that G wasn't easy lol, but the most hard thing was the rocket, the jaytrix maze was easy, well, once you get what it really is lol, i just did this: start pressing all the sides lol, and from where did you get the Jaytrix? that name is soo cool lol, keep doing games, i'll play them, take care, farewell

WOOT! i did it thx golden_cow2 + canadian enchantress it helped a lot ty ty ty ty ty ty ty

I need help on

because i have the mazelike this

OOO
...
OOO

and i cant do anything

JAYTRIX MADE SIMPLE
___________________

How the map works, made simple:

To solve the map...

... forgot all that graph paper stuff.

I just discovered JIG last week and I have to say what an awesome place it is. What a great idea to have a playable banner Jay! You can add my applause to the rest of the great comments about your website. The user feedback on each game is the icing on the cake that sets you above the other gamesites. I would never have completed The Banner Game without the help. Thanks Everyone.

And since I didn't see it in the comments yet... here's one last spoiler for those who completed the game:

My computer's speaker's are busted, meaning I don't get any sound. What order do I click on the stars?

Zeke - thanks for making my day a special one. :)

Stephen - unfortunately, it won't be easy to help you with this because the stars are randomized so it's not the same for everyone who plays. I managed to get it by accident more than once without trying, so perhaps just try a few different sequences until you get it? I think there's only 5 of them to deal with. Good luck! :)

About the

I got to the Jaytrix, but all there is on the screen is a green upside-down version of the game plus black space on the right. I do not understand what you mean by the "circles". I'm using Firefox. The top left section of the black space seems to be blinking as well. What do I do?

JDitto - since the colors for the jaytrix are randomized, it's possible that you just got a bad set. Try reloading the game and reenter the jaytrix and see if that's any better. :)

Okay, after numerous reloads it worked fine. However, the problem now is that I can't get the rocketship to show up!
You know, I caught the cloud in the water and all, and I turn the frog into that guy and all he does is wave at me! I look through the walkthrough and I didn't do everything in order. Is that the problem?

I don't think the walkthrough was written to be followed in order.

I believe the rocket ship should show up after you take the stickman fishing.

If you did that, and it's still not showing up, then work on one of the other letters?

Enter the Jaytrix map:

Great game by the way.

I've got a problem...
I'm in Jaytrix but i see no star :(
I already clicked all the buttons and no star appeared, i'm getting frustrated :(
Can anyone help me, please?

Camila - when in the jaytrix:

D'oh. I keep dying in the rocket ship! How do you get past that stupid part with the eyes so close together?!? I move my mouse so fast the cursor go'es out of the banner! HELP!

i can't even get the wizard to appear to start the game :(

Try lighting some of the other letters first. The wizard does not come out until you have at least one of the other letters lit.

The walkthrough above is not meant to be followed in letter order.

I have sound on my computer, but I'm not hearing anything when I roll over the stars. Is there a setting on my computer I need to mess with to hear banner sounds? I'm running OSX on a MacBook Pro.

[Edit: Why are you expecting sound for simply a roll-over? Try clicking. ;) -Jay]

Thanks Jay!

This is really cool... the only thing lacking is <whisper it quietly...> s o u n d. ;)

Please, I'm pulling my hair out here.
Does anybody have any tips on how to beat the

Perhaps my reflexes are really bad, but I did manage to pass the targets.
It doesn't help that if I accidentally move my mouse off the top of the banner the ship jumps back to the centre of it. And yes I have closed the navigation toolbar.
Any ideas? It's the last letter I have to complete!
Thanks!

Hi Kassandra!

I'm sorry you're having trouble with the rocket game. When I played through the game the first time I managed to complete it on my first try.

However, subsequent attempts required more than a single pass to get it right, so I do understand what you're going through. I can say that there isn't a lot beyond the point you're getting stuck, so keep with it, I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! :D

This game is so farshtunkin super awesome!!!

I seiriosly love the

like I said, this game is awesome!!!
