No instructions, just figure it out on your own. Just start clicking around, exploring what things do.

WTF??? By the way, isn't it more of a cube.

emccky · 12-30-2004, 11:17 AM

Is there any point? Or just to look around. I clicked a couple things.. got new stuff.. then stopped.

evilbutterfly · 12-30-2004, 11:30 AM

I can't manage to turn all the lights on. I got it so only one was still off and got so angry...I give up.

**Spazzbite** · 12-30-2004, 11:41 AM

I think near the end, pieces of the cube begin to break off or something. I haven't been able to unlock anything yet, except for turning on the red, blue, and yellow things.

HansSky · 12-30-2004, 11:52 AM

I got blue, yellow, and pink.

Tell me, what are you suppose to do with red?

EDIT: Just got orange.

Double edit: Got green...easy as hell once you know what you're doing.

**Spazzbite** · 12-30-2004, 01:00 PM

Got all but red completed. Still stumped on red, though.

EDIT: FINISHED! Wow, that was short, but fun!

evilbutterfly · 12-30-2004, 01:18 PM

Red was the first one I got. Hans, think of something you'd use in gambling

.

EDIT: Got purple (pink? I dunno) and blue now.

EDIT2: Green and orange done now. What the hell do you do for white?!

12-30-2004, 01:41 PM

I have blue, orange, pink, and green.

I have no idea what to do on red or white. Yellow I understand the principle of but it will take a long time to figure out,

HansSky · 12-30-2004, 01:46 PM

Beat it...it's about time, too. I wouldn't have unless Spaz hadn't given me a big hint in the red room, though.

Oh, and Chardish, look at the big picture. That was my mistake. I looked at every little thing, until I backed off and looked at the thing as a whole. That's what you need to do.

evilbutterfly · 12-30-2004, 01:54 PM

Big hint for red: There isn't a pattern to it. It's not some design. It relates to something you should be familiar with.

EDIT: Yellow is easy. It isn't true lights out. If you have 3 on one side, click the one you don't have, then click it again. Once I knew that, it took me 10 seconds to beat.

Also, I have all but white done (unless there's one I'm unaware of). I don't understand at all -_-

12-30-2004, 01:56 PM

I beat yellow by exploiting a bug in the game. Basically sometimes when you click one of the squares to turn it on or off it reverses the surrounding squares but not the one you clicked.

EDIT: Got red, now just have to get white, which is so hard because I can't make heads or tails of it.

evilbutterfly · 12-30-2004, 01:59 PM

Omgosh, I think I know what to do for white. You have to have everything else done to get it.

EDIT: Finally got it, but it didn't record my name in the hall of fame thing D:

12-30-2004, 02:07 PM

Beat the game. Now I can get back to writing TWG's plot!

EDIT: EB, I think I figured white out at the same time as you.

**Squeek** · 12-30-2004, 02:25 PM

I finished all the rest, but don't have time for white...curse this jorb I have!

Omeganitros · 12-30-2004, 03:25 PM

Fantastic game, but I don't have the time to solve anything beyond the blue puzzle.

roopert · 12-30-2004, 08:53 PM

Fun game. I beat it with no other help besides the hints given in this thread. I found red to be the hardest, and green to be the coolest. I also tried the other game on his site, but gave up because it seemed way too time consuming and hard. Huge kudos to anyone who can beat that beast.

Hmm the site is not the one linked in this thread. It's called Wooly something or other.....

**Spazzbite** · 12-30-2004, 09:36 PM

www.woolythinking.com

That's the original site.

evilbutterfly · 12-30-2004, 10:06 PM

The other is a toughy. I used some hints to shovel properly, but now I'm trying to do it hint-free.

**Squeek** · 12-30-2004, 10:12 PM

Ah, awesome. His game included a "continue" feature. I just jumped back in from where I left off and finished the game. I'll play some of his other stuff later.

~Squeek

PS - Considering I just got Flash on christmas, I'd like to be making some of these kinds of games soon as well. Look forward to them.
