Ledge, have you never used that kind of lock?

where's the clue to press down for the right panel?

and how do i work out the missing part of the safe code?

no. maybe i'm confused. it's been a long day. xxp

Amongst the various pieces of paper, Ste: There's a cryptic one that tells you how to approach the safe's dial and it also shows someone pressing down a button. There's another that has XX=??

xpost

oh, i just found the panel 'clue'

h8 room escape

Fuck that radio thing - when you have to go through every single combination to get something to work, it's no longer a puzzle, it's a chore.

How does it work, snoball?

cannot find the magnet still?

cor I just played that La-Mulana for the first time, gorgeous.

I'm stuck. I have two batteries in the doohickey, and a big black thing with a tube inside of it that doesn't seem to do anything. Chair is still bolted in place. No idea how to open any of the various safes or lockboxes despite trying a lot of different theories.

Now I am stuck further along!

snoball, you need sound on for that to be less chorish.

i for one am completely stuck on wtf that black tubey thing mentinoed above is supposed to even be

Black tubey? It doesn't have a cork does it?

Nope. It's a black thing with a tube inside of it. No idea if it relates to the uncorked tube or not.

when you have to go through every single combination to get something to work, it's no longer a puzzle, it's a chore.

meh, gameplay-wise these things are always pretty much trial and error, even if there's a post-hoc explanation. why did i have to use the knife to cut away the plug socket? pretty sure the screwdriver would have done the job.

now stuck with the magnet (or lack of).

I dunno. I've found most of the solutions in this one pretty sensible so far.

There was one a while back where you had to go outside and look at roman numerals on a windmill that I *never* would've finished without a walkthrough.

finding that section of the floorboard was a little hit and miss, and then what you had to do with it didn't make a whole load of sense.

is the box with a tube in some sort of uv light?

anyway i gave up, the panel locks were doing my head in.

uv ligt is what i thought, but pretty sure i;ve shone it on everything so far.

i don't know how to use the lock but i have the code

ok got it

I found a walkthrough for this, was sad to find I was actually almost done. Willing to give hints. Does ILX have any sort of spoiler tags?

I quit on level 15 I think. a pink level.

what am I talking about, wrong thread. was looking for flash games

I never would've gotten the third key to open the lockbox if I hadn't looked it up. I am not smart enough.

continuing from yesterday's game i suddenly find myself with a washer. where did that come from?

ok it's not a washer.

y'know i reckon i could have opened the door with the penknife.

How does it work, snoball?

You need to adjust the sliders so that the radio makes five high tones in a row. But it's not "one slider controls one tone", because the slider settings interact with each other. So you'll get the first tone to be high, adjust the sliders for the second, but then the first tone will be low again.

Yah I know - but there seems to be no apparent logical relationship between slider settings and tones produced. So the only option is to either find a walkthrough that explains what that logical relationship is (which defeats the point of the puzzle in the first place) or laboriously go through 5 ^ 7 slider combinations. I mean, if I wanted a small box that makes noises that I can't control, I'll buy an eff-ing Buddha Box...

And the more I think about it, the more these "room escape" games seem to be a nth degree extension of the "you can destroy a tank with a bazooka that somehow manages to fold up in your pocket whenever you're using another weapon, but you can't jump over a waist high picket fence" FPS tropes.

?? didn't work like that for me at all. one position = high tone, for each slider. that's it.

Ah, just tried it again today and it's working properly.

Even with cheats, getting the third key was almost more than my wee brain could handle.

Sorry I didn't get the walkhthrough to you when you asked-- I only got the email about an hour ago. :/

haha i wuz totally useless at that

I got 84.

TextTwist is a simple, fun little word game that will overtake the brains of certain kinds of people (word obsessives) until they can't stop playing it even with the computer off.

Okay, seriously is Evony really making the kind of money that allows them to be on every website everywhere?

Circle the Cat

Building Blaster

It's a combo of reversion to three (playing with blocks) and to thirteen (playing with fireworks).

I finally won at Circle the Cat and now I feel bad for the kitteh.

Yah, I was wondering the same thing. I saw an ad on talkingpointsmemo the other day and wondered what the hell was going on.

On the plus side, the boob girl is gradually getting more attractive.

By this time next year the winner of America's Top Model will win the spot of boob girl in the next Evony webvertisement.

that building blaster was sorta fun, but a little miffed on one of the levels which I completely destroyed yellow blocks to the point of complete obliteration and left the pink tower standing but it still wouldn't give me a success.

You've got to blow the blocks further away to score more points.

ah i see. i really should read instructions shouldn't i

im hopelessly stuck in level 39 ;_(
