the adventures of red
Help Red find his way through the castle and the challenges it presents in his quest for the chocolate muffin: the adventures of Red, a game by Rob and John Donkin.
Way too complicated too many "hoops" to jump through I felt like a circus poodle. Go over here get that key, go back two rooms climb the ladder get that hat, try and solve that puzzle, go back two more rooms, flip that switch, jump up and down five times while holding your breath, go up two rooms but go back one space.....PHOOEY on all that noise.
It just said that all the doors that are unlocked will now show up color coded on the map as well. But if you had already finished the game (as I did) and opened all the doors and found all the keys, I suppose the map won't look any different.
I liked the game. It wasn't anywhere near like "anonymous" at 12:12 portrayed. The hats are not important, just something to collect. And the puzzles were easy/challenging enough to keep me interested. My only critique is that I don't like the way the rooms and map were drawn. I wish the rooms had either doors on the side or the map had doors in the back with links to the adjacent room. For some reason I had spatial difficulties there. But overall the game was fun :)
great game!!! not been able to find the 20 diamands - only 16 the map could indicate the exit - i went first to the right... nevertheless, it was a pleasure!!!!
Rava, the poem for the ring puzzle is very similar to a poem found in "Lord of the Rings". In that book, a magic ring appears plain, but glowing letters are revealed after the ring has been placed in a hot fire.
FIST!
ReplyDeleteI think you mean "FIRST"
ReplyDeleteNo, I meant FIST!
ReplyDeleteNo you didn't.. I did..

If this makes no sense then I am ahead of you.

ReplyDeletei thought that was fun... especially the ending... my sentiments exactly :)
ReplyDeletegreat game, thanks for the challange!!!! i loved it!
ReplyDeletei LOVED this one! all those small puzzles plus as an extra finding the gems. reeeaally liked it!
ReplyDeletehow do you beat the music-bell room
ReplyDeleteSo sad... did not get the chocolate ending...
ReplyDelete*SPOILER*
ReplyDeleteWork out the order the bells have to be played in to get a rising scale then play them in the order the musical score indicates
i figured that much myself, but hanks anyway.
ReplyDeleteso i figured the code for the music bell room:
*spoiler:
by looking at the tv you can see the wave length. i numbered the bells from left to right as 1-5
so looking at the wave lengths
from the lower to the higher ones it goes like this
3,2,1,5,4
looking at the music sheet you can understand that the code is:
3,1,2,5,4,3
hope it helps :)
