Well Done mate !!!

Hi! Back in the old days, I had many exciting moments with my old ZX Spectrum 128K computer. Last week I went nostalgic and looked on the Web for a remake of the game Saboteur. While I was looking for the remake of Saboteur, I went to http://www.simion.co.uk/saboteur/links.html where I clicked on the link DizzyAGE which redirected me to https://www.yolkfolk.com/dizzyage/. In it, I clicked the Games link and immediately downloaded and installed the first game on the list which is Swampland Dizzy to see if the playing experience is somewhat similar to that I had in the past with a Dizzy Spectrum game. I remember I used to play "Treasure Island Dizzy" in my Spectrum and enjoyed it, although I didn't went too far in that game. Perhaps I'll decide to play it again now that I've installed ZXSpin Spectrum emulator in my PC.

Anyway, I've been playing Swampland Dizzy and I was liking it so far, but now that I've solved most puzzles, I'm finally stuck and although I hate tips and hints as I think they sort of partially "spoil" the fun of the game and I like to solve the puzzles by myself, I guess now I am "forced" to seek for help in these forums, because I also hate to wander around for hours back and forth throughout all the game scenery without a clue on what to do next. I'm at the point where I used the matches to burn the bails of hay, and I stumble upon a keeper requiring 30 coins to let me pass, but I only have 25 coins. I have already 5 Dizzy characters waiting in the Yonda Pier, but I still haven't rescued Daisy, and I still don't know where to use the Log Axe and the Cutting Implement. Also there are 2 Cell keys which don't open any Cell door, unless there are more Cell doors beside those inside the Cell Dungeons room. There are several other left over items, but IIRC they were hiding coins. Only yesterday I knew by reading this thread that the objects hiding coins don't have any other purpose other than that. Anyone can give me a clue on what to do next? {dizzy}:huh: I didn't want to quit this game now that I reached this far.

EDIT: I found more coins behind Some Fencing, A Leaf, Some Clump of Grass, one Section of Railing. Now I have 29 coins! Still 1 coin left.

Yes the items hiding coins dont have any other purpose and I made a delib point of saying that in the help thread, as usually its convention they dont & whenever I play a dizzy game I tend to assume they dont...

Just one more coin required, if you want me to send you the coin list I can if you let me know. If not good luck in finding it.

Completed! {dizzy}:cool: I had to search (press the Action key) in almost every piece of scenario looking for the missing coins. What puzzled me was not knowing if I had to use any of the remaining unused items, like the Log Axe or the Cutting Implement to open a new area or get a coin. But no, the missing coins were just hidden behind pieces of the scenario. Damn Railing sections! Lord Dizzy, you could have made the removable sections of Railing (or Fencing) slightly distinguishable from the adjoining railing so that a careful look could have been able to notice the difference and the player didn't have to press Action key over every piece of undistinguishable railing and fencing throughout the game!
Nevertheless, I enjoyed this game, it was rather entertaining. Thank you, LDoY :wink:

Hi folks, first time at this forum business and didn't like to give up but I'm totally stuck!!! I've recently started back into Dizzy (re-living the joys of childhood) and having completed all of the standard games just hadn't had enough and had to find more! Absolutely LOVE Swampland - very well done in the making - but am totally stuck with how on earth I get to Dylan and/or up the lighthouse? Am I missing a cloud jump or something somewhere? I have tried my hardest to jump from all of the village ledges but the clouds don't seem to want to hold my weight? and I can't find a way to get up the lighthouse at all.... so frustrated now! I've freed Dozy, have set the cannon, met the guy in the pub and been to the Kings quarters (although not through the locked door) and there doesn't seem to be any way forward apart from to talk to Dylan who is frustratingly looking at me helpless from the top of the church! {dizzy}:huh: Help please!!!!

EDIT: Yay, couple more hours play (and no hints needed) and I've now almost finished, 29 coins, just 1 to find, have looked what feels like everywhere!!! Is there a coin list available - I feel I can justify it cos I've done virtually everything else without hint and am very proud of myself :smile:

Brilliant, thanks!!!! All done now, feels good to have rescued Daisy (again) {yolkfolk}:clap:

Great game, I'm on with Illusion Island now :wink:

Thanks & well done for finishing....ahh yes saving Daisy...

Illusion is very challenging by the way {yolkfolk}:delight:

think you'll find the coin low down in the swampland causeway if i remember correctly, this was the hardest coin to find for me!!! {yolkfolk}:scratch:

Swampland Dizzy v1.01 now released
https://www.yolkfolk.com/dizzyage/games.html

A few tweaks in there which may or may not be noticed.

The title screen however now has the Dizzy characters in colour (shown here) & has an intro screen added (apparently known as Attract Mode ive managed to learn off).

The dizzy characters therefore within the game now in colour with dizzy wearing his lovely red boxing gloves and walking boots {yolkfolk}:delight:

for the diy bridge kit you should seek HIGH and low {yolkfolk}:scratch:

Thank you! just Can Not believe I didn't get that, argh! Am very mad with self!!! Hopefully I can really get stuck in now {yolkfolk}:joy:

Now you are playing Swampland will make more sense why the Troll was in the hospital in Feverbound {yolkfolk}:joy:

Good luck with the game !!

Cheers. Well done !!! {yolkfolk}:clap:
