Anybody still playing this?

I got past the tree elevator. The next level has me stumped. Apparently you have to activate the grid in a certain pattern. The map being held by the bird shows a pattern, but I’m not sure how to use it.

You need to make the map match the grid on the map, and remember to rotate pattern 90° clockwise to match the girl’s perspective. Also, the pattern is made with the “light coloured” squares (i.e. “filled in”), and not the “dark coloured” (“open”) ones that exist on the map at the beginning.

Now I got it.

Cute. Annoying, but cute.

Did you click on the “samorost” link?

Also, the pattern comes from the man who came through the door, so I thought it must be right from his point of view.

Gaghhh, that was frustrating. Thanks for the help on the pattern. I’d have been stuck there for hours. Or, at least, until I put my forehead through the monitor in anger.

Stupid little girl. Stupid head. Who cares, anyway?

So, any more games like that one?

I give up. How do you get the crane to come down? Or, what do you do when the girl is floating (?) on the grid.

Move the crane back using the switch, then click on the girl to make her jump.

Anyone care to tell me how she gets in the door? (The one with the doorbell on the street level?)

She doesn’t. I never went there. As far as I can tell the doorbell does nothing.

Well, excet go ‘ding dong’.

Are we playing a totally different game? I have a girl with no head standing in an alley and that’s it. There’s no puzzle or anything that could be called a pattern, and the girl won’t move no matter what button I press or what I do with the mouse.

Maybe this game just doesn’t work in Opera? 😕

I got her to move in Opera, but you have to click her and then the bottom of the stairs. Then click on a spot near the door to get her to go up the stairs. That’s as far as I could get her to go.

You have to lower the claw (not the craw, the claw!) and then get the man to leave the door on the right hand side. You also have to bang on the box with the circles on it until the wire hanger falls onto the wire. You have to time it right for the girl to grab the hanger and slide across the wire into the open warehouse door. Try counting "one thousand-one, etc. When you count to five and a half, click on the girl and she should slide right into the door. You’ll then see her ride the rail cart to the next level.
