Fishy Business (HELP THREAD)

Yeah I think it was a one off thing...no idea how it happened.

That instrument puzzle! I have called you every name under the sun! LOL! :wall: :wall: {yolkfolk}:yahoo: {yolkfolk}:yahoo: I finally figured it out to get just 2 fish! I need a dollar! The guy in the angling place won't let me go past without it!

I have been everywhere unless I missed a secret area...I have 49 fish. I'd be really grateful if some kind soul would help me out.

EDIT: I found a coin! I stupidly forgot to check the red door on Lvl 1 in the waterworks.

Finished it! {yolkfolk}:yahoo: {yolkfolk}:yahoo: {yolkfolk}:yahoo: Another great game Grandad!

Grandad, I think I found a glitch?

I was in the underwater tunnel system with the trapdoors that change (very clever and mean by the way!) I came out of one of them and without me pressing anything, it jumped me back in. Except…it put me on a black screen, I went one screen to the left and it gave me a scene where everyone was up in the treehouse enjoying Dora’s feast. I then went back to the right to the black screen, I kept going a few screens to the right (all black screens) and it dropped me into the brick rooms with the sliding/rotating doors.

That happened to me once too. But I couldn't get it to repeat.

How odd, I even took the map apart to see if I had missed a tiny black collider as sometimes I remap part of a game when I think a particular section is rubbish ...or not hard enough to mess with people's heads {yolkfolk}:clap:

There are three 'exits' in the water maze at the far right; top - to back of Richard's house, middle - to yogi, bottom - to anglers' paradise.

Monkey like banana, but ...won't tell you of the secret room to their right {eggs2}:denzil:

The house music buttons match the colour of the songs activated by the coloured levers in the spinning maze - so press the lower buttons in the order of the code above the doors.

Richard leaves his 'red brick' house (with the grey door) when you hear him setting the safe combination.

That water maze is a bit of a 'person with no married parents', but all areas can be reached. It's not too difficult to map, just remember that the grills open in the direction you are travelling.

What tunnel sequence with green arrows???

Armorog, you should know by now that I'm the master of the obscure clue; I rarely put clouds in my games purely for decoration - and if you're very observant (or extremely sad) you will notice the direct line from the yogi's head to the two clouds and the tree branch {yolkfolk}:sob:

and yes, the screwdriver is purely to save you going through the hassle of using the lift buttons to move one floor at a time, so it's not an essential item, nor is the clue in the left hand corner of the painting in the entrance hall of the art gallery, which just gives you a way of solving the Joanna Lumley picture (once you go and get Daisy's magnifying glass).

In the monkey (or ape if you're feeling pernickety) area, it's the top branch of the tree just to the right of him/her. Just pressing action will move Dizzy to the hole in the trunk, then move him to the secret room.

Ah, the spinning maze. You won't believe how much fun I had creating that. Think of it as a circular series of rooms on a central axis that leads to another set of rooms on the same central axis and the two 'entry' buttons move the next inner circle of rooms one room at a time in a clockwise direction. That way the open doors lead to a different room in the next circle every time the entry button is pressed. Aren't I a total poo! :wall:

All the coloured buttons in that area are linked to the coloured buttons in the huts and won't work until the same coloured lever is pulled down to activate them ...and of course pushing the lever back up turns them off again {yolkfolk}:clap:

The late, great, Marty Feldman once said that anything unusual is acceptable as long as the logic behind it is consistent. So think of the metal doors in the underwater tunnel section as being controlled by a system of invisible beams that activate the door that Dizzy is swimming towards :cool:

In the entrance to the huts the four coloured 'balls' above the door show the order of the songs to be pressed - so a sequence of red, blue, green, yellow would indicate that the four buttons below would either play 'Little Red Rooster', 'Love Is Blue', 'Green Onions' or 'Big Yellow Taxi; your task is to press the buttons in the correct order to open the hut. I've set out the sequences below, but you'll still need to pull all the levers in the spinning maze.
ANSWER: hut1 - 3142, hut2 - 1324, hut3 - 3241, hut4 - 4312.

The buttons inside the huts are just obscure clues to the order in which the pictures of 'instruments' in the pyramid/temple area are pressed. So drums, piano, saxophone would indicate that the piano button is pressed before the saxophone button but after the drums button. However, still being a total poo, you have to press each 'instrument button' in the hut once or the relevant picture in the pyramid/temple won't be revealed. The correct order has been listed in earlier in the help thread.

The lever and buttons above the door are clues to solve the code puzzles in Anglers' Paradise.

Yep! Worst ever maze ...originally I was going to leave all the walls 'brown' but decided to switch wall colours for the different 'levels' as this maze really is a bugger!

Solution: N = go through top door, S = go through bottom door, R = go east, L = go west.

Press brown button, N, pull green lever, R, R. get coin. L, press brown button, L, L, N, R, get coin, N, pull white lever, R, pull purple lever, L, S, L, S, R, R, press brown button twice. L, L, N, pull yellow lever, R, get coin, L, S, R, R, N, R, N, N, examine picture (clue for later), L, get ornate key. R, R, S, L, S, L, S, press brown button twice. N, pull blue lever, S, Press brown button twice. N, L, L, S, pull red lever, R, R. Press brown button twice, L, L, N, R, N, pull orange lever, L, pull pink lever. R, S, L, S, R, R, R, S.

You now have the ornate brown key, 3 coins and all the buttons play tunes. {yolkfolk}:cheers:
