Title: Grrr frusterated! Touchpad too slow to kill red eye bugs -last level
Post by: whatpoppywants on September 23, 2012, 10:18:28 pm
 :'( does anyone have a tip --I am not to coordinated and cannot finish beating the  5 eyed plane-creatures no matter what I do! It took my about 100 times to beat the worm who stole the sun. Is there a way to do this wtihout a mouse? I am on MACBOOK PLUS with LION O/s

I am so anxious and frustrated I feel like screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I love botanical and machinarium so much)

Please, take a deep breath!       In.....  :o   then Ouuuuut!    :P

We already had one person write to this forum who because of a handicap could ONLY use a touchpad and got stuck at the "Worm Maze (http://forum.amanita-design.net/index.php?topic=3821.msg11261.html)" puzzle in Botanicula.  The solution that a kind forum member provided for them was to upload a saved-game file that they could load onto their computer so that the puzzle was already solved for them and they could play on.

The same could be done for you.  ( Machinarium players (http://forum.amanita-design.net/index.php?board=13.0) already have such a repository of saved games and something like that might be possible for Botanicula players as well )

Meanwhile, while we're looking into that possibility... keep breathing!  :~o   And keep trying.  :~)

I know, seriously :-* If you or anyone could tell me that would be so fantastical ---how, though? I tried again this morning and keep saying okay, Ill try once more and then again and again.......I should buy a mouse if you guys are going to make more speed/agility games? I like logical puzzles so  much better. thanks, keep me in mind when a solution comes up as Im STUCK

I'm having this exact same problem, only it's with the big creature with the tongue at the bottom of the pit. My trackpad just isn't fast enough, so I get eaten over and over again with only 1 or 2 lights left to go. I've tried about 30 times in a row, now i just have to give up. It's such a shame, because I'm so close to the end but this puzzle just isn't possible to solve with a trackpad.
