I read the whole manual, but... I just don't understand... I know my ultimate goal is to get all the crowns, but what am I supposed to do when I start? Just wander around? I don't know what my immediate goal is...

The game looks beautiful, and feels very old school. Big congratulaions to people who actually finish and release games. You rock!

nemesis: you have to wander around, yep. finally you will find a crown, yeap :] i start with heels and get his bag, quite easy, futhermore i do not know how to pass d**n robot sucker who is going straight on me, blimey. Then I go with head he has much more posibilities. Do us manual says - grab rabbit on top of the ladder, then teleport and go through some rooms. you can finally find doughnuts and this thing for firing them, heh. I didn't get far but as for now I am familiar with this game.
BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG!!!: When you go with heels, teleport, then go up with this flying platform, go along those rolling things and fall at the end you fall into volcano. Right this is okay, but then you lost life and start over on top of this room over volcano. Guess what happens? Yep, you fal right into it :]

before release you should redo some of the old gfx like the skelletons on the walls. Yeah, those were the first ones I did and I was keen to redo them but in the end I was keener just to get the darn game finished and so I left 'em.

Yep, you fal right into it :] That's actually true to the original game, and in those days it wasn't frowned upon to do something so horrid to people. It's known as a Jet Set Willy bug. I'm trying to convince Tomaz to change it to something more fair if we do a version 1.1.

Congratulations. Working on and finishing are two very different things, and I love to see people follow through and complete something. Mabey someday "people" will be me. ;P The art is fantastic of course. Kudos to everyone who worked on this.

nemesis: if it's very close to the original game, these are the guidelines: you start in prison. you must escape and eventually reach the blacktooth empire. once there you gain access to teleporters taking you to the various worlds. it's fairly straightforward up to that point: collect your tools and any extra lives, check out what's through every doorway, don't fall down any place i wouldn't

Beautiful.
I know it's probably like this to be true to the original, but Head really needs to be able to jump a little higher. You've got to be placed perfectly to jump over an obstacle which is d**ned frustrating, especially given the dificulty of judging with tyhe iso and diffent size and shaped obstacle graphics. This kind of game really should be about solving the puzzles rather than spending all your lives trying to get over one small obstacle.

Evalesense : Jump into the gap and then just hold down jump and move out of the gap then double back on yourself. Surt : I'm afraid it's tough cheese. Without the difficult jumps the game would be a piece of cake to finish and we wouldn't want that, would we?

Stuck on the first mouse (the robot who follows you). Can't get away from it long enough for that d**n elevator to rise. oh, and by tiny, I meant allegro being heavy on resources, like RAM.

Looking and playing great man I really hope I can recall my old days and finish it off in a single session like in old speccy games... A note: it is just me or everyone experiencesa corrupted graphic for nw library door (the area after you escape the jail and before getting to the market) [EDIT] Hmmm seems it has dissapeared (the corruption I mean...) maybe something i was tampering while testing the game (I was having some SDL fun...)

Call me a wuss, but i find this game extremely difficult, I couldn't get past the first stage. I jumped those toasters once, but it never worked a second time.

Don't give up Xanthier. I use my little-tactic. I determine how far graphic overlaps with your creature's sprite in the moment when you should jump. I have to say that it is further than I have expected so simple jump half a second later then you think you should
