I am in need of some "hints" or a FAQ for this cute little game, love the blue fella, cannot figure out what to do now that I have freed my green friend (can't remember his name), would like to pick a banana (but how? or do I need one), need to find some way to help Ike with his sneezes (what do I need?), need to get/BAAG a boat but have no way to make any money, what am I supposed to do in the bar? What do I need or want in greenfriends cave? Where do I go from here?
HELP please \
Love, Betty Lou

Betty Lou, you can switch to your green friend who can kick some trees and help also with the mushroom in his house in the cave.

The barman can help with a recipe for Ike.

Did not do the boat yet.

Chief

Ike gives you a boat in pieces when you cure his sneezes, you just have to figure out how to put it together.

Thanks Olderone, that gave me the clue to put all the pieces of the boat together and finally get to the island.

Have a good day.

Chief

Is there a "hotkey" to switch from blue (me) to green friend? an 'F' key or something like the spacebar? Thanks
Love, Betty Lou

Betty Lou, have tried a few keys and found nothing.
Just click on them to switch.

Notice that the inventory is only there with the blue one.

Have fun.

Chief

No. There is no hotkey for that (and there is a reason for that, too).

Are you having trouble with switching characters? In that case you need to convince Gurra to come along. That must be done before he becomes a playable character.

Hi Trumgottist, I'm along Laura on the cliff.

Have made some fire. In inventory, I have berries, pickaxe and other things.

Have seen Affe and talked to him. The troll is behind his leaves.

I need a little hint to go forward.

Thanks in advance for your help.


Chief

Take the leaves, and put them to use.

Questions, I have so many questions:
What are the clues or where are they that give me (Frasse) the idea of 'switching' to Gurra and back and forth? Switching is not working or I don't know how to do it.....and why would I think to do that in the first place?
How do I 'convince Gurra to follow' me? All I can ask him is "what happened?" Why would I even get such an idea?
Is Ike supposed to tell me he needs a 'sneeze cure'? He won't talk about anything but the boats he sells. I can't even figure out how to tell him Geshundite! Is he supposed to tell me the remedy he needs or not? If not, how do I figure this one out?
Be warned, I don't usually play my adventure games without a walkthrough or hints available to me, guess I am just not thinking like an 'adventurer' but I enjoy the games so much anyway and I keep trying but seem to get nowhere....would love it if I could get some help here, there is no 'user manual' on how to do things, figured some of it out on my own but seem now to be stuck.......Thanks
Love, Betty Lou

First show Gurra the message about finding the peas and then he will come with you. Switching is easy you just put the curser on the one you want to swith to and click the left mouse button and they switch. Same with switching back. I found if I couldn't do anything else in a scene i would switch and see if the other character could do something more. You get the formula for the sneeze cure in the bar. When you take all the ingredients back the owner he will mix it for you.

Thanks olderone, but isn't that a bit backwards, to gather the ingredients before I know the recipe and what it calls for? Thanks again for the help.
Love, Betty Lou

The owner will give the recipe then you go gather the ingredients go see the boat guy and back to the bar and let Gurra talk to him.

Thanks olderone, now how do I get the bees to give or trade me some of their honey, they don't want my banana flower or any bananas either....what else would 'do' for them? Or maybe I can hypnotize them? Gurra won't climb the tree to help.
Love, Betty Lou

Do you have the rope from the tree around the side of the bar? If you do you can have Frasse climb the tree and place the rope on the branch, climb back down then Gurra can be hoisted up the tree and talk the bees into giving him some honey. He drops it to Frasse.

Edit: Glad you dropped in, I just wanted to say again how much I liked this game.

(Trivia: An alternate solution is to make use of the ingredient list. This was actually the original solution, but a beta tester suggested the rope thing and I agree that it's better. It's probably also the only solution anyone finds.)

Got the boat, put it together, now where did I see some cloth for a sail (will Gurra's rug do? and a pole to put it on?), or those funny sticks I can use for oars?...........
Love, Betty Lou

No sail. No oars. You need something to pull the boat.

Ah, would that funny bird do it maybe? Try to lasso it with the rope?
Love, Betty Lou

You are on the right track.

Well, I am not able, yet, to rope the bird, but have fed it a couple of bananas - should I keep feeding it so it gets 'heavy' and I can catch it?
Love, Betty Lou Oh, and Good Morning

Maybe you could find something else to throw?

Good Evening,

Rikard

Thanks Rikard, that clue was just right. And my eyes must be playing tricks on me, I could have sworn that was stored under the bar, did not see it get thrown out the window.....lol
On the island now, poking around, see ya later
Love, Betty Lou :kiss:

Betty Lou, when you said you fed the bird a bunch of bananas, that made me think of something I was wondering yesterday. Brianna threw one banana at the bird before she figured out what to do--I hope she's not going to need that banana somewhere down the road? She still has several left, but the tree is bare, so she can't get any more.

Does anyone know about this--she is sailing right along and having such fun (her mother had to drag her out of her the other day ), I would hate to have her hit a big snag.

Also, I added "contains spoilers" to your title, Betty Lou--we've gotten enough answers in this thread that I thought it would be better to warn people. This is such a cute game that I would hate to see someone read more than they wanted to know...

There is no way to get rid of the last banana until it's not needed any more. Unless you find a new and unknown bug somewhere, there is no way to place the game in an unwinnable state.
