i was on the throne
A system update takes a bizarre turn in the point and click adventure I was on the throne by DiscoFish and Skyflys.
This is a very peculiar game. It took me way too long to figure out that you have to hold down the mouse to get some of the puzzles done. There is a lack of clues to solve some of the puzzles. This seemed to have no direction of plot and seemed more like someone's daydream while waiting for their computer to update.
i found it to be pretty simple, all the clues are provided and easily visible, i got lucky with the holding the mouse button down as it was one of the first things i tried but i can see how some people could get stuck at those parts. that ending though was not expected
I finished! (To be honest, not entirely sure how, but hey...) Very cool visuals and I know there was logic involved somehow, but mostly it felt like click'n'hope luck, lol. Interesting game, thanks Bart.
Firstly there is a hold & drag demo. 1-2-3 has to be the right lights. Just a guess, but I don't think the windows X update "jump through hoops" will be quite this hard.
VERY strange game! Wow... I agree with another that said it was more click & hope than logic for some of the puzzles. It was still a fun little diversion. Thanks for another interesting game, Bart!
Not for me. I gather that the reel-to-reel puzzle requires pushing the right buttons while the reels are moving, but my reflexes aren't fast enough. If there's a way to get past this that requires intelligence rather than speed, I can't find it.
I have no idea which creatures you are all talking about, other than maybe the first robot that you destroy that looks vaguely like an animal. All I got were puzzles.
Very surreal game. Not bad, but I prefer things with more of a story behind them.
Absolutely fabulous and simple ! But way too short, I hope the authors will make a sequel to this lysergic gem.
@Di : concerning the lights, you just have to connect the buttons labeled with a digit to another one of the same colour. Just follow the electric threads !

Ok. I couldn't even make it through the intro. This thing needs to have a seizure warning on it.
ReplyDeleteFirstish! Which is ironic because i don't know what to do after you "update"

ReplyDeleteThe art style is well done for the feel of the game.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not entirely sure what was happening, but I liked how colorful and bizarre everything was.
ReplyDeleteWhat a phenomenal game. Cosmic and caustic.
ReplyDeleteCOOL!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not getting the 1-2-3 lights and lines puzzle. Any help?
ReplyDeleteYou click on the number 1 light then the light of the same color that is connected to it.

I liked it, but why did we have to kill the poor creatures? They did no harm!
ReplyDeleteVERY strange game! Wow... I agree with another that said it was more click & hope than logic for some of the puzzles.

Thanks for another interesting game, Bart!
I totally quote @gerben sweep:
ReplyDeletethe killing was bad, the game was good
chulĂsimo!

ReplyDeleteLet's see what this is...
ReplyDeleteOdd. Different.
ReplyDeleteI think I liked it.
Thanks, Bart!

can someone please, please give me a walkthrough of the 123 lights? all the hints aren't helping :(
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous and simple ! But way too short, I hope the authors will make a sequel to this lysergic gem.

Sorry for my double posting ! I thought I entered a wrong capture, so I wrote it again.
