  18. I made the "z" shape just as in the picture..why won't anything happen?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Nice one, can't find the other flower and can't make sense of the stars hint.

    ReplyDelete
  20. @ Peter:

    The "other flower" is underwater. Once you have the tank, go diving in the Z/+ room. The stars hint features different number-sided stars. From left to right, the 5-sided star shows up. The door handles have to be turned according to where the 5-sided stars are.

    ReplyDelete

  23. For those who liked this game, it's a sequel to a game called Solitude, which ends where this one begins.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I must be dumber than dirt cause I still can't get the z puzzle...I guess I need it spelled out for me and sorry Peter but I'm not following your description.

    ReplyDelete
  30. for the Z puzzle start from the white square (leave and re enter the room to start fresh) de the Z shape in light grey pressing the button only once then do the cross by pressing directly on top of the grey Z doing the vertical part first and the two side square to finish the cross so you have a dark vertical line and white and grey square around it try that;

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  34. gem placement white in the middle
    pink between red and blue (left) greenish between blue en green (right) and yellow at the bottom between red and green

    ReplyDelete
  35. No, the second puzzle with the gems, the first one is pretty straightforward.

    ReplyDelete

  37. Never mind, found it the hard way, white, blue, yellow, purple from left to right.

    ReplyDelete
  38. How do you take the gems out and keep the door open?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Attach the rope to the ladder. That way you don't need the door any more.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Where do i find the cross?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Is there a trick to catching the cat..I have the net but when I highlight the net and click on the cat it moves away every time.

    ReplyDelete
  42. You need the net to catch something that you can give to the cat to get it

    ReplyDelete
  43. WOW! That was kind of difficult...Thanks to all the helpers, hints and suggestions.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Thank You "p" after your clue I rememberd the fish down in the tank.

    ReplyDelete
  48. where's the last gem?

    ReplyDelete
  49. @anonymous, you need to find the key for the door left of the puzzle first. without it, even when you had the right combination, you won't get through

    ReplyDelete
  50. Listen, if you haven't grabbed the yellow gem that you showed up with (inside the submarine), then smashed it with your special arm armor to get a key, you won't be able to get the z puzzle solved. Use the key on the panel NEXT to the z puzzle, then when that panel door comes off, flip over the panel to see the cross. Once you do that, enter the puzzle like this
    ggw
    wgw
    wgg
    Then,
    gbw
    wbw
    wbg
    then,
    gbw
    gbg
    wbg

    ReplyDelete
  64. the last gem is hidden behind a stone on the stairs where u smashed the big rock...

    ReplyDelete
  65. Woow very nice i loved this one, although its somehow cartoony.And the puzzles r gr8...thx Bart ;)

    If someone is stuck later on i can help :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Seriously, no one can explain the Z puzzle with any common sense? Ive made a Z, Ive made a cross, and tried every combination possible and I get nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  67. how would anyone ever know to switch the 5 and 1 places for the little clock switches? is that some sort of glitch or was is created to be counter-intuitive??

    ReplyDelete
  68. I think to solve the Z puzzle it is absolutely necessary to open the left door next to the panel first. The key you need is hidden in the big yellow gem. You can crush it with the white "gloves".
    BTW, thank you so much for posting the video-walkthrough. Without it would not have been possible for me to finish this game.

    ReplyDelete
  69. @Princess:

    Make a Z by clicking the tiles once. Now, click once more on the tiles in the shape of a cross. You'll end up with tiles like this (from top left to bottom right).
    L, D, W (top row)
    L, D, L (middle row)
    W, D, L (bottom row)

    L = Light, D = Dark, W = White

    ReplyDelete
  70. Im stuck at the door with the moorse code figures and the wheel lock. is it just so simple im not getting it? noone seems to be having trouble with it. (just hint please dont want the spoiler)

    ReplyDelete
  71. Get the rhino asleep, the morse is for something else, and the dino needs something to move the jaw. not a puzzle, only to find that thing.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Regarding the Z puzzle, Amy is correct: You can't just use the solution without first exposing the Z and + clues. Once the Z and + panels are both visible, *then* it can be solved by adding the Z and + pixels together (white for neither, light gray for one but not the other, dark for both). Similarly, the 6 dials puzzle at the entrance cannot be solved, even with the correct solution, until the tree roots have been cut. That's why it's a good idea to follow all of the steps rather than trying to skip over the clues and just apply the final answer from a walkthrough directly.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Impossible without a walkthru or hints.

    ReplyDelete
  74. That was fun!! I needed help with the gems and lines puzzle. I used the order that someone suggested here. It worked, but I still have no earthly idea why it worked. I can figure it out.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Wow. I can't figure out why so many people have trouble with the Z puzzle. (Or maybe it's just one person - can't tell because they are ALL named anonymous.)

    Anyway, it was obvious to me how to make a z on that middle panel. I just needed a hint that I should make a + AND a z on the middle panel.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I can't find a net anywhere...

    ReplyDelete
  77. Oh! Found it. It's in the tree hiding behind some leaves :)

    ReplyDelete
  78. Good one. Out with no help, so it can be done. Bit long, but all perfectly fair and nicely clued.

    The only hard parts I found were: how to use the 'special powers' to smash the gem, kick the football, see green; and the final gem puzzle.

    There were lots of clues simply from what is available at the time. For example, the fact you can remove the gems tells you they are needed in another puzzle. Careful clicking tells you which choices are active and which not.

    Quality puzzle. Looking forward to the next one.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Got it. But i didn't understand the last gem puzzle

    ReplyDelete
  80. this was a great escape game. i liked it alot. dont know what people are talking about impossible without a walkthrough. i did it without a walkthrough. i got stuck a few times but not bad enough to need a walkthrough. the last gem puzzle was the hardest puzzle but 4 gems and 4 slots isnt a very hard guess.

    ReplyDelete
  81. the second gem puzzle is solved by counting the hexagons touching the spot you wish to place the gem if there are 3 you place the third gem
    hint: the first gem (one with one line in it) goes at the edges of the puzzle

    ReplyDelete
  82. (The gem with one line in it)*

    ReplyDelete
  83. the net (hidden in the leaves of the tree) is not used to catch the cat it is for the blue fish in the water near where the blue flower thing was

    ReplyDelete
  84. too open the elevator you need too get the rhino asleep with the second potion (mushroom is by the rhino and blue flower thing is under water in the room with the Z,+ puzzle)the clue for the elevator is just behind the rhino when he falls asleep

    ReplyDelete
  85. to get the fire extingisher first you need the lever ( located under water at the Z,+ puzzle) then use the lever on the disk beside the skull and activate it

    ReplyDelete
  86. the code for the arrows is
    ^, <, ^, >, >, ^ (need to cut branches in front of statue first using the beetle located above branches)

    ReplyDelete
  87. Omg, I can't smash the stupid yellow gem! Is there like a certain spot your supposed to click? And are you supposed to click on the "+" sign on for the gem or the mechanical hand? PLEASE help me someone!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Oh yeah, and is it the rectangular gem or the hexagon one?

    ReplyDelete
  89. Anyone know the Japanese on the back of the Professor?

    ReplyDelete
  90. I wish this game had "Save Points" in it. I accidentally hit the close button on the window and now I have to start all over again. :(

    ReplyDelete
  91. haha the ending music is from Z True Long Island Story with Zack Ryder.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I can't believe I'm the first to say this after 98 other comments......FIRST!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  93. WOO! I'm #100! :)

    ReplyDelete
  94. 100+1
    o beat that

    ReplyDelete
  95. @nemo I looked it up, but I can't figure out what it means...it could just be a name of something. "γ΅γŠγƒΌγœ” romanized it's: "fuouze", pronounced like fu-ohh-zay. Sorry, that's all I can do.

    ReplyDelete
  96. That was a great game! Not too hard that I had to use comments for help. Nice and long, but not too complicated with pixel hunts or complicated math codes. Love 58 Works stuff...which they put games out more often, but they're worth waiting for. Thanks, Bart!
