no, i've just checked and you actually need to use the dynamite to get the spade.

Also, i can neither replicate the bug you mentioned, nor find a problem in the code. The code looks fine.

i played the game. so far, i collect 18 coals and 9 gems.

i just curious, i could ALWAYS walk and swim in the water without getting hurt. see below picture:

at first, i thought it was normal. but when i reached this room:

https://thumbnails14.imagebam.com/4269/3f66be42685722.gif

and trying to see what next (get a little hurt), i found an aqualung. funny, because in the deep cavern, i also found 'watery zones' and never get hurt at all. i could get a bottle of suntan lotion and a duster there without problem.

i take a little jump across the monster, sacrificing one of dizzy's, and move along.

dizzy is getting stuck here and cannot move.

seeing the screen name, i realize that i should came from above. perhaps must completed the train puzzle before (20 coals needed).
i reload my save game. all the items that i found in the cave after the monster screen couldn't help me passing the monster or moving to the upper ground. so, i cannot go out from the cave, surely must be restarting from the beginning.

i just inform this. plase don't give me any hint this time because i like the puzzles. :smile: i try to solve the puzzles by myself, without using walkthrough or hints from the others. well, maybe a little peek, if i get stuck later in the game for two weeks :teethy:

About the water thing, you can go underwater for a bit without dying. Later in the game you will find some longer stretches of water, and for these you will need the aqualung.

No idea about the other stuff!

where he is going through the water without dying, he shouldn't be able to. it's too long a stretch of water. I'll have to take a look at it sometime. If you can't get past the water without dying, then you won't have any of the other issues.

i definitely sure that i could go underwater safely without using aqualung, ever! i restart 3 times, all the same. just try it.

like i said before, i could get duster and suntan lotion without dying. normally, you need aqualung to have those things.

that bug brings puzzle-solving much easier, because i could 'peek' all the room that i normally couldn't do. also, one more free inventory space.

now, i've finished the game with 48900 pts. so far, i think i've explored all the room but still don't get max scores.

hint please, is that a secret room or additional possible score like 'juicy apple' and 'tick-tock clock' in illusion island? is that any use of old lamp and megaphone ?

thx for the answer!

no, there is no use for them. I'll look at the underwater bug in a bit.

ok, that's bizarre. i can walk anywhere underwater. {yolkfolk}:scratch: i'll have to have a good look at this sometime this week, as that is a major bug!

alex, adz, can you temporarily disable the downloads until i fix it?

the Water Bug is fixed in v1.20, which i've just sent to Alex and Adz to upload.

worryingly, looking at the release history, i think the bug was probably introduced in v1.01 (way back in February 2008!) when i made it possible to breathe in Gas with the Snorkel. (the code didn't take account of there also being water in the game) That would make this version the first version with no major bugs in it... :surprise:

anyway, because it's a major bug fix, i've stopped previous saved games working with v1.20, sorry!

hmm .. i feel proud, a little .. :wink:

i found the bug accidentally, because of my stupidity that didn't found 2 remaining coals which locate in the same room! i went too far .. and then realize that something wrong has happened.

ok. i'll download the later version, and replay it. still less 1100 points from perfect score .. :smile:

*treasure tomb for the next. and .. hey .. what is AHD? another headache dizzy? :teethy:

huff .. it's been so long since my last post.

just starting playing the old dizzy game, my first is 'railroad' dizzy. still don't get max points. only 100 less. but perhaps it's just because you forgot to give point for the first screen, even though i already go left/right and back. other dizzy games made by you always start with 100 pts except this one ..

I know they do, but this one didn't. I didn't forget, because I actually have to specify which rooms you don't get points in.

Chances are that you,ve probably missed one of the 'points only' puzzles. Check the cheats secton of Dizzy Stories to see what they are.
