Wow.
I've completed this game (1C/Snowball edition) three times. Haven't seen any bugs. (i'm not a tester though)

Can you be more specific telling us step by step (if possibile) how did you get these bugs? This could help the developers to debug.
However, in my opinion, some of these bugs (lamppost and container) are not intended to ruin the gameplay impeding you to proceede, so they haven't priority.

Thank you for posting Smiley

I would rather call those "glitches" and not bugs. For me bugs count to those things that break the game mechanics and frankly I haven't seen any hick ups that would fit this description.
Machinarium has by a far shot only a small amount of glitches compared to other contesters.

If you did not see them "bugs or glitches", does not mean that they are not there ...
I suggest you carefully through the game and you all will see there...
All this ... happened when inconsistent and wrong passing game..

I never said that I didn't see those "glitches" but here's my question: Did they stop your progress? Were they gamestopping for you?
You know maybe the playtesters noticed those things but it wasn't considered a priority by the devs because they had to fix some other problems that may stop you from continuing the game.
When it comes to game development you have to make compromises to get your product out at some point, some companies make too many and it results in broken games that need numerous post-release patches.
I salute your effort though and you shouldn't be angry about it. If you continue finding those and explaining how you get them, it may reveal helpful for all involved in making the game Smiley

Cones are back?  Haven't noticed when I played it...  oops!  They might have missed a few details but otherwise it was awesome.

I think Amanita is scheduling a fix patch or something like that.
I've to agree with popsUlfr and with myself (Cheesy)...these "bugs or glitches" don't stop your game progress, so they have less relevance. This not means that they don't exist.
The only right thing we can do is to put in evidence (as you have done) these problems and wait for a fix.

ok, i got some of these glitches too, and some other you didn't mention, like :


(the bubble with two wires is still open)
and

(am I supposed to see this hint here ? I'm back from the other room)

I also had one when playing the minigame with the other robot in the pub. The game stopped but the panel stayed open.

A friend reported that the sequences with memories of the robot made the game crash on his computer.

Another bug I spotted was in the retro minigame (the one near to the end) the caracter was stucked between an enemy and a wall and was not able to move at all.

None of these bugs really prevented me from playing though. In worst case I just had to reboot the game and start from a previous save. Hope it helps.

Well, this glitch that mccartercar had discovered in the demo was fixed in the final version, and it hadn't stopped the game, so I think that Amanita is interested in fixing at least some of the more glaring glitches.

If you really want to be helpful, please send me steps how to reproduce these bugs on support@machinarium.net (so you will not put more game spoilers here) Without "steps to reproduce" it's hard to find the bugs and to make a fix (except the bug in the gate level where it's clear enough - but sorry, its not a "hard" bug - it's just a missing detail).

I don't know what you have been reporting, but I'm (alone) programming this game and I don't have any steps to reproduce to fix at this moment. Jakub just told me that you were reporting bugs but not how to reproduce such a bugs (something like here)... if you were sending emails with more information, it must be lost somewhere. So again, if you really want to help to fix these, write me on support@machinarium.net how to exactly reproduce them... Thanks. I'm especially interested in the bug with the magnet controller (arrows).

Which one? In which game size? With HW acceleration turned off? On which OS?
