blue pearls [browser]

Dive deep under the sea to find 25 pearls hidden in 25 rooms in the latest puzzlescript puzzler by Tstaffor: Blue Pearls.

  1. Is this made to be frustrating ?
    The first level has to be solved & reset since the solution blocks all progress.
    Then the "doorways are some kind of "choose your path".
    Only each choice is from 9 random encounters I guess ?
    I was expecting to make notes & or a map, not draw trial & error.

  3. Currently stuck on four rooms: The Song room (I can't quite figure out how the jellyfish room numbers connect to the combo) The room with 2 dolphins and the red/green bowls, the Narwhal room, and the red/yellow pixels room.

    1. I'm also stuck on the Song and Jellyfish rooms.
      I've been able to bring all the colored blocks into the Pillar room but I'm not sure which one goes where

      the red and green hoops are needed for the Narwhal room, and the Red/Yellow pixels solution relates to the Octopus

  4. For the Pillar room, you just need all 4 red objects, colored blocks go into the eye room

  5. Thanks for the tip for the Narhwal room and Red/Yellow pixels. Still stuck on the two dolphin room and the song room though

  6. -Never mind, stumbled into the solution for the two dolphin room, just need to figure out the song room now.

  7. Well done! I'm stuck at 10 pearls. I don't know what the turtles expect from me, there seem to be far too many purple and green fish, can't get them out... I tried feeding the whale whatever I could find to open its mouth, but it didn't work... I love my crab!

  8. Can anyone give hints on general strategy? I see that different rooms have different numbers of entries, but haven't gotten anywhere on figuring out a layout or solving any rooms.

    ReplyDelete
  9. General strategy is to force certain rooms to appear to obtain what pearls you can, because it makes (most) other rooms permanently easier to traverse.
    Some rooms need to be entered from all four sides before their puzzle can be solved. Other rooms need to be done in a certain sequence. The more rooms you have placed, the less options you get for placing more.
    Force certain rooms to be placed in a certain order by ridding yourself of rooms you don't need in other places.

  12. ...That's what it was?! Holy heck I never would've figured that out, criminey.

  13. not used to needing the mouse for these games, I wouldn't recommend full screen, like looking at the forest with your forehead against a tree.

    1. Yep ... orange fish vegetation and yellow worms. Something to help with this orange room?

    2. Yellow fish room : you may find similar arrangement (in different color) in other room.

      Octopus room : octopus is stretching its tentacles to 8 directions. Haven't you seen its tentacles in other room?

  18. I'm surprised I got to 22 pearls, but I can't figure out the octopus clue for the two pixel rooms, and I can only come up with 3 red objects(gem, pearl, fish) for the pedestal room. Can I get another hint?

      other pixel room requires hint from other room. look at other room with same color and assignment. You can get it from... (rot 13) ivbyrg pbeny ebbz.

      pillar room : there are two pillars filled up already. you only need three more. (rot 13) erq crney va pynz, erq svfu nzbat terra svfurf naq erq ubbc va qbycuva ebbz(gur ebbz jvgu gjb zbinoyr ubbcf, terra naq erq)

  20. I know *how* to do the shark rooms, the eyeball-looking room, and the "red items on pillars" room, but i can't actually solve them yet bc i don't understand how to do the green fish room or the purple fish room. i also have no clue how to solve the whale room. any hints?

    ReplyDelete

    1. okay actually i solved the green and purple fish rooms lol, or at least got their pearls. i also solved the red item room. i just need to solve the whale, eye, and two shark rooms. eye i think i can do, just need purple, but for the blue shark, does it need two red fish??

      also still have no idea what to do in the whale room

      Delete
  21. Move the fish or take them out to push the whale.
    I feel stupid I can't finish because I haven't figured out how to solve the orange fish room, my last before sharks ... any help?

    1. theres like 3 different orange fish lol
      orange fish in blue&purple room: reunite him w/ the other
      orange starfish thing in the turtle room: dance together
      orange fish in the seaweed room: i actually completely forgot how i beat this one but it probably has to do with removing the seaweed, same way you do with seaweed elsewhere

      i sure hope thats right and im not spreading misinformation

    3. also great game, tho i wish you could unlock the ability to choose any level instead of it being random every single time, maybe unlock it after like 10 or 15 pearls
