Humbug by Pixel Continuous might seem like a traditional puzzle platformer, but how you solve each level is rather unconventional. (hint: remember, press p to pause!)

woah, first! thats exciting! anyways, i tried to play it but i couldnt get passed the two arrows. advice?
ReplyDeletenevermind i got thisssss
ReplyDeletecan;t get past the first jail scene.... how am i supposed to jump to the third stair?!
ReplyDeletenever mind :#) got it!
ReplyDeletethis game is too hard even WITH the walkthrough...
ReplyDeletewhere'd you find a walkthrough?
ReplyDeleteand finished!!! Yeay!!!
ReplyDeleteThis game is so silly; I like it ^_^.
ReplyDeleteI also can't get past the first jail scene. But since this is nogi1020's personal hint page, I won't be able to look here to find the answer. You see, nogi1020 came here to get a hint. He was hoping someone would post the n but once he got the answer, he came back again to say "never mind" -- and also didn't provide the answer to anyone else. In other words, it was important to nogi1020 to make sure the answer was not provided on this page, since it's for his personal hints only.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame. When someone gets past a hard part of a game, after they asked for help here, they shouldn't say "never mind" -- they should tell everyone else what the answer was.
And now *I* figured out the answer. But I will not say "nevermind". I will provide help to the next person. Hint: you can step on the instructions.
ReplyDeleteAhhh thank you for that hint :)

Fun Game!!
Once I realized that the everything in the game is "interactive" I had fun! Thanks for this, Bart!
ReplyDeleteARGH! Ok I did half of the game with the walkthrough!! Tooooooo difficult! Never been good in lateral thinking! :D
ReplyDeleteYou have to get all 3 secret items to really win!
ReplyDeleteThe anonymous who cussed nogi1020 is actually a don

A nice game. Really hard but it's fun to play. I just finished it (or at least I think so...). But neither I understand the ending (You win?) nor I found a secret item.
ReplyDeleteCan someone explain it please? Or tell me where to find the secret items?
One of the secret items is a dressage manual above the cannon in the upper right hand corner. I don't know where the other two are.

ReplyDeletelove this game! finished both endings!!!!!

How sad, I HAD to use the walkthrough... but I really liked the game!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bart! I liked it because it was different. Thanks to anonymous for posting the walkthrough link.
ReplyDeleteWalkthrough link is on the game itself, top right hand corner. Way too hard for me but heaps of fun!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else see the major typo in the main post for this game? I think it's supposed to say "Pause" not "Pauze". :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I think it's spelled "Paws"
ReplyDeletecan someone tell me how to open the last door? i can't pull the key. ):
ReplyDeletepull the key by standing by it and pressing 's'
ReplyDeleteIs there a written walkthrough? I can't get the stairs to stay open. The video walkthrough doesn't really show how either.
ReplyDeleteMy first walkthrough:
ReplyDelete•step on the tree then the castle
•press "S" to actvate the switch behind the cage
•press "P" to pause the arrows
•set your strength to 9
•go to the other door then press "P"
•go to the switch. press "S" to pull it
•jump on the bricks then the sign. jump to the other side
• press "S" to switch the first swich NOT the second
•Wait for the cloud and jump on it
• press "P" and when you get to the bottom press "P" then when the cannonball goes close to you press "P" then jump on the ball and press "P" again.
• this one takes timing. jump to the platform. go around the tower.
•jump into the spikes and make your health 1
• drag "You are dead" to make a bridge.
•highlight the blue sign with the mouse until you see no. 2.
•hide inside the wanted poster.
• this one i can't explain. all I have to say is put your strength to 9 and at the end put it to 0
• go to the yellow thing and hold "S" while moving left. jump on the yellow thing. if you can't jump pull it out more
• you won!
