Title: How to back to start of game on iPad3
Post by: ijabz on August 30, 2012, 02:16:50 pm
Just started playing Machinarium on IPad 3, and love it !

But after doing the first screen I wanted to show my son so we could play together it and I couldn't work out how to go back to the very start, I know I can save and reload from stages but I didnt use load, and canot see how to go back to the very start.

You'll have to quit and restart the game. Then choose "Play New Game" from the main/intro screen.

But how do I quit and restart, there are only About/Load and Save options ?

Well, yes, "About", "Load", and "Save" are on the bottom of the screen, but "Play New Game" should be in the upper left-hand part of the intro screen that you see every time you launch the game. So, if you're running the game, once you press the Home button on your iPad and then relaunch the Machinarium app, doesn't this screen show up?

Or does it just go to the screen/level you'd left off on? If it's the latter, you may have to quit the Machinarium app and then restart it. Aargh, this would be easier if I owned an iPad. =p
And if you're unsure how to quit an app on the iPad, here's how to do it:
