I suppose the weirdness of Sakura is as good a way to ring out the old year as any.
ReplyDelete"from now on, a rat is preparation. Let's do quickly"
ye hah! got a battledore. I've always wanted a battledore.
ReplyDeleteand a carrot for the rabbit and a hammer.
wow, TWO battledores! Is there no one here to share my joy?
ReplyDeleteo. m. g. now I have Three Battledores!
ReplyDelete[and a "scop" which I cleverly used on the clearly marked circle on the floor. oh, and a net]
forgot to mention the "pine" in my excitement over battledores.
ReplyDeletefour battledores (singing) and a slug and a little pine tree.
ReplyDeleteI`m here. Hi zoz. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHave a golden fish, placed pot plant in a note I found on floor, and a pen. Have also 4 fans (battledores).
fed slug to egret, got a ladder and, need I say it, yet another battledore. enough with the battledores, already. too much of anything can get boring.
ReplyDeleteuse nippers in little tea house to get a brush. at least it wasn't another battledore.
ReplyDeletenetted a goldfish, but the strange floating goblin still isn't coming down.
ReplyDeleteGee, zoz, it's really fun playing this game with you.
I have all that AND a golden fish and four (that's right FOUR) battledors Wah hah hah!
ReplyDeleteah, @roberto! I was so busy talking to myself I didn't see you there! Welcome1
ReplyDeleteoh, and some sort of stick or some such
ReplyDeleteand @Philomena, welcome to all. Help me find my sanity.
ReplyDeletegot special end by putting gold fish in waterfall
ReplyDeletebtw, @miss smartypants Philomena, I have FIVE battledores. nyah, nyah, nyah.
ReplyDeletewhere did you find the slug?
ReplyDeleteFound a green snail in cave.
ReplyDeleteand @larue surges to a surprise finish, passing us all in our battledore-induced stupors! Gongtats @larue!
ReplyDeletethe slug... the slug... maybe that was down under where we got the net, by the ant?
ReplyDeleteYour sanity is probably having tea with mine -- lost it about 4 this afternoon...
ReplyDeleteOr the slug may have been in the next scene over, by the garden.
ReplyDeletei think that is a fish to feed to the heron
ReplyDeleteGreen snail is actually a green caterpillar
ReplyDeletelol @Philomena. this brings to mind an old Mose Allison tune: If you could be so kind, to help me find my mind, I'd like to thank you in advance."
ReplyDeletenope, no slug for me...
ReplyDelete@larue, my heron/egret was not interested in the fish. Has anyone captured the green frog?
ReplyDeleteClick right side in screen where you dig the hole. slug is in the kitchen inside a pan.
ReplyDeletefound him but the stork won't take it
ReplyDeletei never caught the frog, but i put my battledores, plant, and dude from roof on the paper
ReplyDeletefrog ate the bug & gave me a key which gave me nippers
ReplyDeletehmmm, just found a new scene. it's all bamboo. just past the garden you can see beyond the teahouse?
ReplyDeleteRestarted the game after put goldenfish in waterfall, and now I can´t find green caterpillar anymore. Guess I could get the frog with it.
ReplyDeleteso that's where the caterpillar comes from!
ReplyDeleteyes, @roberto, the caterpillar is for the frog. He moves and you get a key.
ReplyDeletethe key gets you scissors so you can cut down the orange.
ReplyDeleteso much for "doing this quick".
hm, put orange in vat the white rabbit had been working on and get what looks like cut up vegetables for stew? The plot thickens...
ReplyDeleteStuck with orange, golden fish and pen/brush
ReplyDeletelol. Got a sundae!
ReplyDeleteokay, fed slug to bird for ladder, caterpiller to frog for key I have the fish, orange, brush, ladder, pine and five battledors. No idea where to use the ladder and can't get the guy down
ReplyDeletecan't get the rat down, either
ReplyDeletefinally found the right pixel to place the ladder and grab the goblin [ to the left of the scene against the building in back]
ReplyDeletedidn´t find any rat in this game?
ReplyDeletePlaced my "sundae" in note and used brush to get normal end.
ok, like @larue said, put the pine, the goblin, and the ? [which now looks like the mochi cake from Escape Room 205] all on the paper.
ReplyDeletestill haven't done anything with brush or with ant.
oooh, I see now. Once you add the battledores to the paper you get "2012". Or maybe 2011. The goblin is hard to read.
ReplyDeleterat is on roof of bldg in first scene with rabbit
ReplyDeletePlaced sundae, pine, battledors and lion dancer (weird guy)on paper, used brush and got a normal end
so now we have to go through the Year of the Rat again? I don't think so! Bring on the Dragon (not midnight here, yet).
ReplyDeleteI've got to play this one again, as I was too busy running my mouth, er, fingers to pay proper attention. It was fun playing with you all, and I look forward to many happy games in 2012!
ReplyDeleteNever saw that rat on roof.
ReplyDelete2:25 am here! Bye all!
Important Update: the egret/heron/stork actually appears to be a Sandhill Crane. In case anyone cares.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with the orange?
ReplyDeleteAnyone still here?
ReplyDeleteI can't find no caterpillar, and where to use the ladder please?
To Jennifer and mhtyhr:
ReplyDeleteThe orange goes into the pot by the rabbit to make a dessert in a sundae dish [orange sorbet? Yum!] and the caterpillar is in the centre of the bamboo scene, about a third of the way up the screen [slightly more lime-coloured than the rest of the bamboo. Colour-blind people are going to have massive problems here.]
To get to the bamboo scene, find the scene where you are inside [I think] and you can see out to the garden at the back. There is a patch of bamboo growing in the right side of the garden. Click here to find the bamboo scene. =)
@Rookwings, thanks!
ReplyDeleteFound the caterpillar ^^
Where should I use the ladder?
Ah got it! It's to get the lion dancer thingy ^^
ReplyDeleteMoving on nicely!
Okay, I found 2 ends so far:
ReplyDelete1. Put gold fish in waterfall for Special end
2. Complete the new year card for Normal end
I heard there is a 3rd Mystery end, so looking for it now!
Ahh got the 3rd end finally! Dragon with rat :D

Wow this game is weird. I think I enjoyed way too much New Years Eve beer for my brain to be able to cope.
ReplyDeletewow @mhtyhr, thanks for solving the Mystery End!
ReplyDeletegreat job with the walkthrough @mhtyhr, gongtats!
ReplyDeleterofl @zoz, your comments on this game were so funny!
ReplyDeleteSince premiere doesn't seem to be around right now, I'll post the funny translations we can read at the beginning and the end of the game. So here goes Ls&Gs, enjoy:
ReplyDeleteWhile everybody wishes the happiness
for one year in greeting the New Year,
from now on, a rat is preparation.
Let's do quickly.
GAME CLEAR!
ReplyDeleteAlthough it was various last year also,
the rat completed the New Year's card
and one year of a rat started again
this year so that a good year could
be passed.
NORMAL END
GAME CLEAR!
ReplyDeleteThe goldfish has also reached the waterfall
that only a carp can be reached.
Since the goldfish was upgraded to the
dragon in passing,
the treasure ship was placed and
it went amay to empty that direction.
SPECIAL END
I got Mystery End with a Dragon taking the Rat! Didn't even finish my Note!
ReplyDeleteNever thought to use fish on waterfall & to take the dragon for mystery end...
ReplyDeleteTherefore: Thx, @mhtyhr,
for your WT guidance!
:-)
& thx, @jay-jay,
to be my substitute for posting the citations...!
;-D
Wow, thanks, mhtyhr [are you welsh, a mnemonic, or a human typing error?] ;)
ReplyDeleteI never even knew there WERE three endings! Thanks for the heads-up!
GAME CLEAR!
ReplyDeleteThe goldfish has also reached the waterfall
that only a carp can be reached.
Since the goldfish was upgraded to the
dragon in passing,
the treasure ship was placed and
it went away to empty that direction.
SPECIAL END
ME TOO
no prob ^^
ReplyDelete@rookwings...
none, i guess? :D
truth be told, i had trouble spelling it at times
a little off topic but.. I was really wondering how they came up with such translations?
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was google translate's fault, but when I tried entering the Japanese version of the opening text on google translate, the result is:
"Priest in mice of the year everyone wants a happy New Year is Upon welcome now ready
Cha do quickly Imashou
New Year's Eve quickly"
Their version is better than google for sure though
