cool point and click game

http://curious.salford.ac.uk/

i am just on level 2 - nice puzzles

give it a try

Thanks Jo!

Ana

i am stuck at the beginning of level 3, if anyone sorts out the clocks please let me know

This is a cool point and click game Jo. Thank you. I am at the bear with the fleas now. One thing though if we leave the screen for instance to check a hint, how do we return to where we left off in the game? Do we have to restart the game again? I always watch when you tell us about a game Jo, because we have the same taste in games and I always enjoy them. I hope you will start a thread or someone will with recommendations for point and click games. I for one would appreciate it.

EDIT

Jo help I am stuck with you at the clocks, what do we do here?

Simon Says!

Think about it. When the man bonks you on the head, notice one of the clocks turns. Click on it to see what happens.

Simon Says.

Thanks for the link JoAmiga, cool game. When you use a hint you must restart the level - however you are given a level code every time you complete a level so you don't need to restart the entire game.

Linda

Hi Ray, thanks but I am still stuck. My little guy is standing on the portrait on the top of it waving. If you could please explain what I am to do more specifically I would appreciate it. Oh and put it in the spoiler tag,for the sake of others please. Thank you

as for the clocks

Linda, no one bonks me on the head
sherryah, i found that too, that you have to start again after viewing the hints so i opened notepad and copied the hints to it, here you are the hints helped me get past where you are, after i spent ages trying to do the puzzle to put the people back where they were, when i was a kid i found those puzzles easy
just going to read the spoiler, thanks Evie
Hints:-
Don’t know where to start or what to do?
Click on everything and you’ll soon discover there’s an order to all the chaos.
Finding the fleas unbearable?
It’s enough to make you laugh and cry.
Does the painting leave you puzzled?
You could try cheating... Hold the left mouse button down on the rugby team for 2 secs,
then the plane, then the rugby team again.
Are the clocks taking up too much of your time?
Listen to what Simon's got to say.
Trapped in the jet engine?
Round, and round the engine goes...
Stuck on another planet?
Drag and drop.
Trying to leave the baby?
It takes more than one click to get carried away.
Can’t get off on the train?
Try taking it step by step.
Stuck on the last level?
Why not phone a friend?
...........................
done the clocks, he only bonks me on the head when i start that level -

now i`m so stuck on level 4, i did all 4 fruits but the flower stays down after the forth and doesn`t release a coin, and i can`t figure it out now please

I had to think a minute because I finished it last night. Great game, thanks again for sharing the link.



I didn't put the Simon in a spoiler since that is an available hint from the game-maker. Sorry if it upset you.

Great idea to copy down all the hints, I didn't do that, LOL.

Linda

linda, no it didn`t upset me love and i think you are very clever to do all the levels so quickly

just going to read your spoiler and continue with the game
but no doubt i will be back

Hey...Thanks Jo...Great little game!

JK glad you enjoyed it
i am now stuck on level 7

Which one is that? Is that the one with the train?

That one was tricky. I thought I was "stuck" until I found a "hotspot" I never thought to check. The other thing with this level and level 8 is to remember that you may have to "pull" in addition to "clicking."

So...it's actually a "point, click and pull" game!

yes jk
i have frightened off the scorpion and now i`m stuck, can you help me please

jo

Hmmm...

finally finished it

OK, I must be stupid, but on Level 2, I looked at the hint and I clicked on the rugby team (see the pink fog), clicked on the plane (heard the engine) and clicked back on the rugby team again, but nothing happens. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

when you click on the plane hold the mouse button down for a few secs, and it should blow the picture into place, i know that bit is hard to figure

Thanks Jo, I've tried that, but nothing. Is there supposed to be a part of the picture that's missing from the frame somewhere?The plane seems awfully far away from the frame. Also it seems that I don't have to hold my mouse on the rugby team, just hovering over them animates them.

you will need to hold down the mouse to make the rugby team `do it longer` then the same with the plane so the propellers blow it away

Thanks Jo, I seem to be having trouble loading the page right now. I'll go back to it later.

What a fun little game! I just finished level 2 with the horror slider puzzle. Thanks for posting this, Jo!

I keep asking for help, then as soon as I go back... I solve it so keep up the good work guys!

I have been struggling with level four, I think I was doing all the fruit at once and not one at a time, but I found this walkthrough for the game

Curious Walkthrough

Going to have to start all over because I don't remember the code word and didn't seem to be able to get the last code word to work, but maybe this might help to complete this game.

Koalanut

ps... there is cheat code words at the bottom of this website!

i found the fruit bit the hardest, i think its the only puzzle that has to be done in an order for it to work, i had to redo that level to get it to work

I have almost gone mad with the slider puzzle in level 2, I might have to give up

What are those 'Cheat Levels' on the bottom of the walkthrough??

no don`t give up, dont try to do the slider puzzle, make the picture do it for you
you will need to hold down the left mouse button to make the rugby team `do it longer` then the same with the plane so the propellers blow it away
nah don`t use cheats

Don't understand Joe, how do I 'not do the slider' puzzle, make the picture do it ??!!!!!!

all what happens with the rugby players is it looks like they are 'passing wind'!!

help please

Widget, I too had trouble with the slider until I realized I was trying to put the woman on the left instead of the middle. The little boy is on the left and the policeman is on the right with the bottom space empty.

I don't know about holding the mouse down longer on the players and plane since I didn't do that. I just solved the slider. This wasn't timed so I had all the time in the world and just kept going.

From another posting about sliders, "do one row at a time for ease in solving slider puzzles."

Linda

OK, I've done it, now trying to understand the clocks.

widget, if you get stuck with the clocks just shout

I am loosing it!!!!!!!
was on level 3, closed down, and when I opened up again I have to start from the beginning,
how do you save the levels????

you can`t save mid-level

Am going to try and stick with it now, BUT, can't get the lemon to work, done the orange and kiwi.
off to have another go.

Now got stuck, 'click on the mirror/glass watch rest of level play out'
nothing happened

how can I start this level again?

I have not played yet, but those of you that are, can you tell me if this is like the free adventure games in Free games Galore or is this more of just a casual game?

I will post a link to here in Discussions to spread the word if it's an adventure.

Ana

its 8 levels puzzle game, ana try it

THanks Jo! I have it on my list....I'm afraid I work more hours than I play and I am seriously behind.

Ana

Ana, this is like the locked rooms you find in Ravenhearst where you have to figure out the puzzle to leave the screen. Really great fun!

Love,
Linda

Can you tell me how to start a level without beginning the game all over

That has to the sweetest game I've played in a while.
Up, Up and away in my beautiful balloon.
Thanks for the link Jo.

WIDGET I had to play the first puzzle again and when the sign comes up to load the game just put the password in for the level you want and hit the enter button on screen.

Cathy

Thanks cathy got that, but on that level I cannot 'click levers from left to right to raise steps'
what am I doing wrong.

Done it, you have to hold and pull levers down.

I have finished it!!!!!!!!!
not sure if I liked it or not, quite a challenge for me,
thanks for all your help.

poor widget
cathy so glad you enjoyed

Thanks JoAmiga! That was really fun! The fruit thing really stumped me and I had to consult the walkthrough a few times, but the game really got me thinking. Thanks for the fun!



Koalanut :HNY:

koalanut, you`re welcome
keeps the rust off the old grey matter eh
:newyear:
jo

Hi, how do i get off the baby?
i know the hint says one click is not enough, so i am clicking and clicking and... nothing!
(that 'thing' keeps going and coming back alright)

Awww..i just saw Koalanut's post about the curious... Thanks!

Jo, i love these kind of puzzles, thank you!!!!
