King bot bug

[Russellajallen]

Hi, I have just defeated the 33 bots in the king bot mini games and am supposed to receive a bulb I believe but for some reason I still have the power cord and have not received the bulb so cannot continue. I can't reconnect the cable either. I don't even have e a save to revert back to. Any suggestions? I should add this is on the s3

This isn't an answer.  Its a link to a bunch of kids calling each other pedophiles.  What's the answer to this problem?

[Alex]

It wasn't meant to be an answer.  It was me commenting on "kids calling each other pedophiles" instead of providing an answer.

Are you having this same problem?

[kenaynay]

OOOOOOOOOOOh!  my mistake, sorry about that.  Yes I'm having the same problem.  I beat the 33 enemies and no light bulb. Plus I can't interact with the King Bot anymore

Is it possible you didn't actually take out ALL 33 bots while still "alive"?  (maybe you shot the last bad guy just as he shot you?)  What happens to your character when it's killed while connected to The Brain is you reappear in front of him, disconnect the cable, return it to your inventory, and the Brain stays in that slurping coma you found him in.  In which case you have to reconnect the cable and go back in to re-kill all 33 bots

When you take out all 33 bots WITHOUT running out of health points the Brain comes back to life, takes the cable from you, pats you on the back, and gives you the bulb you need.

If that's not your situation then you should re-download the game.  (we've seen many cases of corrupted downloads)

Guess i'll have to redownload then.  I definitely wasn't killed as i had full health and the King bot now is reading a book with light coming out of his "eye".  I still have the plug but can't hook it up to him again.  Thanks for the reply

Yep, that's a bug.  Before my last reply I replayed that level (on WinPC) to refamiliarize myself with it and the King Bot definitely took away the cable before giving me the bulb. 

Hopefully redownloading solves your problem.  If it doesn't try contacting the game support staff directly via the "About" tab you see along the top of this forum.  ( be patient.  it could take a few days before you get a reply.  )
