Just got Trine today. It was only A few bucks at gogamer.com's 48 hour madness sale.
Any way what a gorgeous game.
I just started it and am playing the wizard and I get a command to draw a square using the left mouse button. This is not mentioned in the manual and I don't understand it's purpose. Nor do I see anything happening when I press the mouse button. Does anyone have an answer for me?

Hi JB
Have you tried looking HERE.

There's also a walkthrough Here. if you want to look. It may tell you what to do.

Thanks Cathy!

Your Welcome. There is a patch on the first link I posted. I hope they will help you. It looks like an interesting game.

Thanks Cathy1

JB

DL'd the patch. The WT still does not say what the "Draw a Square" using the left mouse means.

A silly question JB. Are you holding down the mouse button while your trying to draw something ? If your using the wizard have you tried to use his magic or a spell to draw ?
From the walkthrough this is what it says....

Use your conjure block spell and
create a block that can sit on the first block.

Is that what you mean by draw something ?

Cathy I have not been back to the game as I am trying to finish Psychonauts first, and then I will concentrate on Trine. Thanks so much for your help.

The ongoing joke in the game, is that the Wizard just can't learn that elusive fireball spell.

So, he's stuck with spells to draw boxes and platforms and to levitate and move items.

To draw a box, simply left click and move the mouse up, right, down and then left, drawing a square with the mouse movements. The bigger you draw the square, the bigger the box (to a point).

The boxes are stackable and good for jumping up on high ledges. They can also be conjured in mid air and dropped on the heads of your enemies, they can be put into pits of spikes so you can jump across, they can be put in water to jump across and they are also sometimes needed to activate pressure switches/plates on the ground.

The more you level up, the more boxes you can draw and have on screen at a single time.

Thanks TP. That was much needed information.

I played around a bit with Trine last night. I was now able to draw a square. The problem was I was trying to draw them on the ground but needed to draw them in mid air. I now get it. This game is really a nice platform game with gorgeous graphics and great puzzle solving.

Boxes in mid air...sounds creative.

Yes and the wizard can levitate and move them where ever he needs them.

There are movies of the game play on you tube.

I'm playing this game too. You can draw three or two sizes of boxes. Sometimes a quick circle also makes a box for me. You can not make a box if you are out of your energy though. Good luck

I am sick of this game. When I have to quit I lose all the progress I've made because I have not gotten to a checkpoint. You can save but it appears it has no purpose because when you continue it starts you at the last checkpoint, not where you saved. I refuse to do all I have accomplished for a third time. It's getting uninstalled and getting sold at our community market.
