towlrboy

Towlr are puzzles that come without instruction and without explanation. Your job is to discover their secret. Can you solve this small and short TowlrBoy by Damian Sommer and grab some digital cake? (If you liked this you can find more towlr puzzles here)

    Lol, solved it the first time, then couldn't believe that, that was the whole game. So I refreshed thinking maybe it's a new puzzle every time you refresh. Then the same puzzle loaded and I couldn't solve it. I kept dying. After about 30 deaths I realised what I had to do and solved it easy. Then I also realise that the first time around I was just very lucky. Hehehe ;-)

    I understand the game after 9 deaths. Then I finished it without any death.

    I'm still stuck and can't figure out what to do at all. I'm not loving these towlr games at all but I'm guessing that's more to do with me having a brain that doesn't work the way it needs to.

    hey! done! well a clue: when you and die you can see a yellow dot glowing briefly, that could be the shadow where you were... maybe you should'nt leave any shadow...
    sorry for my english, hope it'll help a little ;o)

    Thanks very much. I had seen the shadow and even with your clue I was still very confused, but then it dawned on me what to do and I finished it :)

    It's really rather easy, so it's hard to give a hint without giving it all away.
    Play slowly, move one dot at a time and make a mental note of where your dots are before you get shot.
    Then rethink your strategy.

    The blocks that you move with the arrow keys really show your position in the maze.

  40. Anonymous20 June 2011 at 19:48

    It's as if the two dots are the X and Y coordinates of a single point, and your goal is to move that point to the center of the maze w/o touching the walls.
