Game of the Week (12/05/2005)

[DanceMentor]

Ok, this week I thought it would be cool to try an action game, so I bring you the Cobblestone Capers. Enjoy!
Cobblestone Capers

What level did you get to?
I'm still stuck on the Penguin.

[Katarzyna]

I can get to the begining of the Kabuki Girls section, but can't figure out how to get past the first elevator there...

Firt elevator no problem, but I can't get past the 2nd

I'm happy to report I solved the game in about 20-30 minutes, beating the robot at the end.

 

[Katarzyna]

So how do you get out of the factory?

I remember making a long floating jump to the left and then just running as fast as possible

I do the same thing, but the time always runs out on me.. perhaps there is a faster way to run... I'm not sure

Somthing like
Across to the right
Up the platforms and at the top jump off to the right
Down the platforms
Across to the left
Up the elevator
Across to the left

I always did that, but even if I start running right away, the time always runs out before I reach the end of the second elevator .. for some reason says it says to do it 90 sec, but the clock starts at 77 sec

That's because the countdown is going while the little flash clip with the Penguin is happening.

I basically pressed and held the right, then left arrows from the start to the finish of the level and jumped and glided as necessary, as DM said above.

Yeah, I had no problem escaping that, but I can't get onto the second elevator after the molten metal pouring...

 

[pygmalion]

Huh? I guess I should actually try one of these games. :lol:

Sorry. I haven't updated much since I discovered tetris fifteen or more years ago. I LOVE tetris!!!! Other than that, I don't spend much time on games -- well. Maybe a little. (I like the online versions of backgammon and mahjongg, too. ) I get obsessed with conquering games, so it's probably better that I not even start. :lol:

if you're where i think you are, it takes some practice. you have to start your running start just before you hit the apex when you jump. if you miss, glide back to the elevator you're on & keep going. it took me about five minutes to get past that. i died in the molten lava after hopping down the elevators (after hopping up) on the first try - which probably took 1/2 hour. arrgh!
