ReplyDeleteAnyone still around?
ReplyDeleteCan't get doll eyes to work on triangles in room 2
Have stick and pot and thoroughly stuck.
I'm stuck looking for one piece to make the moon. I read the hint about using the pickaxe twice, but can't find the second place to use it.
ReplyDeletePuzzledinCA,
make sure your triangles are pointing the right way and click the triangles where the dolls have their eyes open. It should work.
And naturally I found the spot right after posting.
ReplyDeletePlaces to use the pickaxe:
tile behind the chains in the first room
brick on the floor under the chains in the second room
Stuck again looking for a place to use the bird statue. Hoping for a POP or that someone comes along and helps me out.
ReplyDeletePOP worked again.
ReplyDeleteWhere to use the bird statue:
put it on the throne in the room with the yellow hourglass and you can take the sphere that's on top of the throne.
Stuck again. I read from the hints above that I should have a telescope and colored balls, but I have neither. I have seen symbols in the dark rooms.
ReplyDeleteTelescope found.
ReplyDeleteZoom on the dog left of the doors in the room where you can switch off the lights.
Balls found.
ReplyDeletePut the black orb from the telescope in the same place where you put the colored ones earlier in the game and you can get the colored balls from the box the statue is holding.
Out! What an awesome game! :)
ReplyDeletefor the color balls, pull the lever so it will be dark in the room, then go out and search everywhere lighted places, there will be clues for placing the color balls
ReplyDeletecan't get into third room. Please help
ReplyDeleteIrene, Im not sure i remember properly, but the pieces you placed in the yin yang thing can be flipped over (about item each piece to flip them) to make them silver rather than gold. Place the pieces (now silver) on the other bits of the yin yang thing. I think you need five pieces, plus the yin yang swirl. Remember you can remove the ones that you used to get to the second room, so thats three you have already. Hope i have remembered correctly.
ReplyDeletethanks clio_rose.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great game! Thank you!
ReplyDeletenot getting the green red jar water puzzle. Need step by step
ReplyDeleteCould someone explain the final colored ball position? I saw the 5 symbols and looked at the balls in the telescope thingy, but not sure how to get the position. For example, why is the blue/water/fish at the bottom.
ReplyDelete@Irene,
The green jar = 8
Red jar = 5
(Look at the bottom of the jars)
You need to fill the hole with 6.
How I got there:
Fill green. G = 8, R = 0
Pour to Red G = 3, R = 5
Empty Red G = 3, R = 0
Pour Green to Red G =0, R = 3
Fill Green G = 8, R = 3
Pour Green to Red G = 6, R = 5
Then pour the water from Green (6) into the hole
DAMN good game. Was NOT disappointed. SD could learn from this. I am personally tired of all the kid games he makes now and am tired of him releasing 5 part games starting on tuesday and not getting the final one till the following monday. Heck, he never even finished the last series. But he did 4 hooda craps already.
ReplyDeleteJust looked up Kotorinuso here and this is the second game of the same name.
ReplyDeleteAh got it.. it's the position of the rooms..
ReplyDeleteGreat game, as always.
I've actually stopped playing SD games to be honest.. it just gets so repetitive
If you click classic at the bottom of the start page , you will get the first game of this name. It's pretty cool too.
ReplyDelete@mhtyhr I hear you there. He has gotten sloppy in his quest for games gold and when someone brings it up he gets all arrogant about it anymore. Thats if he even bothers to answer.
ReplyDeleteI suppose there are still people playing his games, which is why he kept churning them out :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just happy some of my favorite makers are still active. By the way, how have I not realised that Gatamari games are so awesome? Just spent the weekend playing all the old games
A kotorinosu game is a very generous Easter present. One of the developers who just can't disappoint...
ReplyDeleteAmazing game, one of the best ones I've played!
ReplyDeleteAnd great that it saves the progress too, because towards the end of playing, the game become very laggy and I had to restart my browser
Wow! 10/10!
ReplyDeleteMarbles are a bit reminiscent of Neutralxe.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!
ReplyDeleteBringing it in late, as usual, but this is a wonderful game!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful graphics, logical puzzles, multi-part inventory objects, tools used more than once.
Very Clever, Job Well Done!!!
I so need a walkthrough. I got quite a way through by myself, but can't follow the posts now I need help
ReplyDeletePyramid colors, top to bottom - YRBG
ReplyDeleteWalkthrough part 1:
ReplyDeleteRoom 1: get FLAME SYMBOLS 1 and 2 from broken pot and under a brick.
Take stick from statue, and use it to get paper from spider web (same view as statue)
View paper for clue to open box (by sun door). When you have the right shapes put in, zoom out and click on top of box. Take MARBLE 1 and pyramid.
Put pyramid on pedestal to open pyramid door.
Still in room 1, turn right and look at the figurines. Notice body shape, and eyes.
Room 2 (pyramid door):
Look in box and look at figures. Notice body shape and eyes.
Use figurine eyes to light up the triangles on central pedestal (see spoiler 1 below)
Take KNIFE at base of pedestal.
Get FLAME SYMBOL 3 next to green urn
Get green urn
Look at urn. Use knife to cut rope.
Get cloth from top and YIN/YANG SYMBOL from inside.
Room 1: Look at the sun door. Cover the white flames with the FLAME SYMBOLS and the white part of the center with the YIN/YANG
Back out and go to sun picture. Click on it. Take PICK HEAD

Zoom in on the chains next to the dirty spot on the wall.
Move the chains and break the brick with the pick axe. Take FLAME SYMBOL 4
Room 2 (Pyramid door): break bricks and with pick axe and take FLAME SYMBOL 5
Room 1: Look at sun door again. Take back all of the flame symbols and the yin/yang symbol. Look at each one at a time and turn it over. The flames will turn white, the yin/yang will point the other direction.
Use the flame symbols to cover all of the gold flames and turn it all white. Add the yin/yang symbol to make a moon shape.
Zoom out, and then go to the moon picture (where the sun picture used to be) and click the moon. Pull the switch and the sun door opens.

Go to 2 statues in room 1. Give Anubis (Jackal head) the ankh, and give the Pharaoh the striped crook. (Look at the picture in room 3 to show which hand to put them in). When they are in the correct hand of the correct statue a door will open.

Look at green hourglass. Take PIN from hourglass.
Look at diamond tool, and insert pin
Use diamond tool in slot on wall.
Take RED URN.
Look at symbol behind red urn. It means you need to pour 6 units of water down the hole.
Turn the red urn upside down. Note that the red urn holds 5 units of water.
Turn the green urn upside down. Note that the green urn holds 8 units of water.
Cleverly get exactly 6 units of water and put it down the hole. See Spoiler 3

Change the colors on the right pyramid appropriately (see spoiler 5)
Take key from left pyramid.
Open LOCK on circular safe at the right
Click eye symbol
Look at lock and take PIN
Look at diamond tool and take pin.
Go to room 2 (pyramid door) and look at the central eye pedestal. Notice colors on top or bottom. Fix hourglasses as indicated (see spoiler 6)

Great WT, thanks
ReplyDeleteLsquared gets the prize for the day for doing a WT for this awesome game!
ReplyDeleteNuckelheadd, mhtyhr, I agree completely about Selfdefiant.
ReplyDeleteIt is what happens when you try to go commercial.
You end up having to put out so much that quality takes a back seat.
Now it is to the point where he has so much cut and pasted old code mixed in with new code that he is cobbling together into "new" games that he can't even put one out that isn't buggy.
And he never does cross-platform testing on them first, or optimizes them for modern viewing (resolution/gamma).
It is too bad, because he is really talented and has the ability to make really superior games like this one was.
If he is happy doing what he is doing I suppose that is all that matters though.
This is one of the and maybe even the best games i've ever played!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the and maybe even the best games i've ever played!
ReplyDeletebest game i've played in a long while!
ReplyDeletegraphics, interface, puzzles, all perfect.
10 stars from me!
almost didn't need help.
i just didn't get the end puzzle with the colored balls.
despite all clues i somehow missed the point.
9/10, almost perfect. Easily10/10, if compared to the other escape games, but we have to hope that the next Kotorinosu's game is even better, so let it be 9.
ReplyDeleteJust an idea... can we like, maybe do a poll of sort, where people can nominate great escape games, old and new alike, and we can all vote for our favorite.
ReplyDeleteIt gives an opportunity for us to recommend some of our favorite older games to the newer players
This is definitely one of the top games for me.
... and Kotorinoshu did it again.
ReplyDeleteExcellent game.
@bio Though I am wondering whether this is actually a remake of Koto's 2012 one (indirectly linked from within the game for those who missed it first time).
ReplyDeleteSupposing I AM right, this would again prove my observations that a great part of authors are about to run out of new ideas...
ReplyDeleteLike a choreographer at the opera / ballet house who uses a revamped 1970's scenery, because he loved the basic idea of it then.
Anyways, that was a SUPERB game!!!
ReplyDeleteJust gotta confess I was sick of running around the rooms in the final part, so I just looked in the spoiler to know where to place the marbles. BTW the topmost marble IS white! The right one is light gray, but not white.
@arby i don't think any author would run out of ideas , i think they just get less enthusiastic let me say to invest too much time and effort on a game and don't get the expected reward at the end of the day , Tesshi-e is an example ..
ReplyDeleteso for something done just for fun i think it's the best one can do , and the best one can get .. For Free ! :) ..

ReplyDeleteOne of the BEST games I've played in a long, long time. Couldn't have done it without the walkthrough though. So, thank you Lsquared!!
ReplyDeleteThis comment comes at least a week later, but I couldn't resist...
ReplyDeleteYes! This game was definitely a 5+ BUT to compare it to the work of other game-makers is just not good. (Comparisons ARE odious.) All the game-makers have unique abilities with some appealing to, for example, me, more than others. Just to create a game (and I've taken courses in HTML, etc.) is quite an accomplishment! So don't be so hard on Self-Defiant (you all do make him sound like the one to beat - and that's a kind of compliment!).
Have all live doors open but still don't know what to do with the dolls, they do nothing when I touch them.need help please! I only have one item a brown thing which I am thinking is part of a bird statue everyone is talking about. FIVE doors I mean
ReplyDeleteOnly just played this, beats many recent games and deserves to come back to this year. Excellent
