I found the easiest wat to keep your pointer in position without using the mouse is to hit the spacebar for your "retry". Just make sure you dont get your hands confused. I am at level 50! thnks!

Hi Grumpy,

thanks for your nice words :) and yes, sometimes 'escape 'is the only way ;) At one time of replaying, I could do the first two of this puzzles, but the last one never. I wonder if there is anyone, did it on it self AND can still tell about it, lol.

Greetings and happy gaming
Kayleigh

@Grandma and CalyElf

Maybe this will help:

# Pick up the harpoon that is on the left side and it will count as 3 pieces.

# Pick up the piece of wood that is on the bottom left side.

# Pick up the piece of wood that is on the right side of the barrel that is on the left.

# Pick up the oarlock that is on the dock.

# Pick up the oars that are on the top right side and it will count as 2 pieces.

# Pick up the piece of wood that is on the top of the barrel that is under the net.

# Pick up the brush that is in between the 2 barrels that are on the right side of the scene.

# Take the harpoon and click onto the 3 barrels that are on the right side.

# Take the brush and dip it into the blue paint that is on the lower right corner.

# Take the pieces of wood and place them on the boat.

# Place the oarlock in the right side of the boat where it says "a board is needed"

# Click the blue brush onto the boat and then click on the boat again so it can go in the water.

# Place the oars on the boat once it's in the water and then click it again to move on to the next round.

If this is not the right chapter, please let me know, what you mean exactly :)
Greetings, Kayleigh

Cheddarius

Get key and light-bulb. Drop down and get key and light-bulb. Jump through the spikes on the left and hit the arrow. Climb up the key-blocks and drop down onto the arrow. Go left, climb onto the check-block and up the key-blocks. Drop down onto the arrow without hitting any of the light-bulbs. Jump and get the bottom light-bulb. Go right and jump onto the top of the door. Shift.

Voila.

The series has ended? Well, it ended thematically well, with plenty of closure, but mechanically, this one is my least favourite; I got one of the harder-to-find things after plenty of random clicking in various places to see when my cursor would change, then had to read a walkthrough to find out which innocuous place it had to be used. That sort of thing would have been fun for an easter egg or something, but for actual necessary gameplay, it was just confusing.

To Hannah:

About teaching the children -

You just need to drop the Chief on a child and they will all go to the amphitheater. It will show it as "Lecturing", but none of the adults attend. And yes, it will give the children skills. Sometimes it will be enough to have them be Apprentices before they turn 14.

ok that's what I meant....in the top near the open barrel on the right.

I found all the same ones you did.....and I just can't see anymore.

You aren't a dumb grandma. Those are the exact same five pieces I have found.

I don't see the point of that closed barrel that doesn't have anything in it when you break it open with the harpoon. That seems strange to me.

The sixth piece is also driving me insane. There are two by the left barrel, one on the deck floor, and two in the barrels on the right. The sixth one is missing, period.

If you're dumb, then so am I, lol! ARGHHHH

...the children discover it and go hurdling through time...

I think the children went hurtling (to rush violently; move with great speed), not hurdling (to leap over a hurdle or other barrier), through time.

I purchased Leadership 2, how do I educate the children. And does this educate them in the skills so when they get of age they're already trained or did i just waste tech points?

How to pass LV 10 on SMALL FRY....

First get the skeleton to be eaten by the plant.(Skeleton can't die)
Whilst the plant is still chewing (Skeleton) get the bull to come and destroy the plant...
BOTH characters will be safe.

For Nature faction, it's the Pitcher Plant. You'll find it to the left of the alchemy lab. Let me know if you have trouble finding it and I'll post a screenshot.

Penalty Answer - I figured out that I got a 100 point penalty every time I asked for it to show me a picture of the item I was looking for! And no penalty for extra clicks.

Kayleigh - Thanks for all the help you're giving everyone. I was glad to hear that you used the hints on those 3 circular light puzzles, since I HATE them! LOL I've gone back and figured out almost all the other puzzles, but those are impossible!

Argh. Can someone post player pack walkthroughs? On Assorted #1, if I try to make it across the big spike gap in the top right I fail by about a quarter inch, and the double sideways spikes on the bottom left are similarly impossible. What am I doing wrong?

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:53:32 -0500

After reading some comments here, I did the 750,000 challenge with Lucky Spin on Beyond Reason. I had the unbelievable luck to land the ball inside the spiral at the bottom. It rode all the way to the top, hitting the purple (pink) score multiplier and a green peg that got triple score. Total score from one ball was 1,100,000. In my excitement, I forgot to save the replay though.

IndestructoTank AE is the third in a rather successful series of Flash games; the author probably just assumed everyone playing it knew what was going on, which was obviously a bad assumption.

Anyway, for the miraculous forest adventure: anyone found a use for the last two items? Maybe they can be used in place of something else or something.

Hmmm.
Don't know why I cannot seem to combine the two metal pieces together? I try to double click one from the inventory and then drag the other one on it, doesn't work. Then a tried to drag the two together without examining one and... same thing. I think i'm stuck here:

i have the 2 metal things, used the 3 tiles, opened the door to find the mechanism, used the green bottle and have 1 battery lightened up

Any help? thank you, Bebel

Reminds me of InkLink (i think that's what it's called) from Shockwave, but I think Vista has some trouble with Shockwave.

This is much better! *adds it to the Favorites list*

Another wonderful Shift game, and quite funny. The player packs certainly were more challenging than the game. (More than one leap of faith I recall.)

And I loved playing as the secret character,

Mel Gibson

I guess I'm lucky though, that the bugs have been worked out before I got a crack at it.
