<a href="http://www.cafepress.com/liazradman" target=_new">ilikepandas</a>, the guy who brought us the <a href="http://gprime.net/flash/liazradman/">crap adventures of liazradman</a>, has been hard at work, and has finally completed "puzzle land." a game involving precise clicks and timing. <i>warning: addictive and very frusterating at times!</i>

he had this to say:
<i>"Here it is- the complete and final version of my puzzle game! Its quite easy to pass from level 1-3 but level 4 onwards it gets tricky. If it gets too hard for everyone I'll post a walkthrough of it."</i>

Exactly. These games are harder to make than you think. And ilikepandas did this all himself, which I personally think is very impressive.

These games must be really hard to make, what with all the components and interactions with eachother. Anyway, I loved the game, but I can't beat Gregory. I wouldn't mind a walkthrough, just for the last level.

Tis nice and all, but you should have considered getting someone else to do the art. Profrssional looking art can make or break a game. Even if you don't have any friends who are artists you can go begging arround on sites like deviant art.

Thanks for all the good feedback everybody!!

But the whole scribbly-cartoony look is my style. I like the funny little characters I made. Maybe in the future I'll try and draw some better art, but I wouldn't want to steal someone elses art for the game, that would be stealing creativity, which I don't like (possibly excluding animutations). But I see your point. That'll be taken into account in the future.

That's what I meant.. I use flash a lot. I'm getting pretty good, and I know how hard it is to make these games. But the art really makes it seem less fun. Well made though.

Ill post some of mine and some of Led_Zeppelins walkthrough (Highlight it due to spoilers for people who don't want it):



Level 1:

Ok, this ones easy. Click on the aeroplane sign to make a plane crash into the tree. The man beside it will become angry and cut down the tree. Once the tree has fallen on him, click on the wood beside the boulder. The tree will fall, making a bridge. Mahoggany will now cross it.

Level 2:

First, click on the brown water snake thing. It will eat the frog. Now click on the arial on the tower. The snake will become bigger. Click on the snake and then immediately click on the hippo. The hippo will duck, missing the snakes fireball. The fireball will bounce back, knocking parts of the snake out of the water. Click on the red switch. Now Mahoggany can jump across. Click on mahoggany until he has passed the level.

Level 3: (Thanks Led_Zeppelin)

Ok, keep clicking the bird. The guy at the catapult will kill the bird That bird was awesome. Click the catapult. Then click the cloud. The guy should fall, and the flag wll change. Click the guy with the stick, he'll blow a whistle. Everyones gone except the catapult guy, but don't worry about him. Click Little mahogany and he'll go to the doors. click em again and you beat the level!

Level 4: (Also thanks Led_Zeppelin)

Throw two rocks at the picture. A button will appear. click it once. The bucket should move over the blue door. Click the blue door. the second you click the door, click the lever with the red knob right beside the guards. A bucket will fall on the guys head. click the platform with the horn, then honk it. The camera will be destroyed. Then click the guards so they move to the right. throw a rock down at the ground. Click the guards, and as soon as they trip click mahogany. he'll run past them, step on the horn causing the hick to shoot the gun, and hit him self. as soon as he is shot, click mahogany and he will go to the bottom. Click him again, and you beat it!

Level 5:

First you click on the balloon pump- twice so it is now floating in the air. Then click on the fan plug to turn on the fan and then click on the fan to start it blowing. NEXT click on the stalactite to make the drop of water drip off it. The drop will get carried by the wind, fly right due to the arrow thing's direction and hit the flower, transforming it into a giant plant. Click on the arrow thing until it faces up. Click on the plant to fire a glob of oil, the arrow will force it upwards so it hits the stalactite. Click on the arrow now so it faces down.Now click on the balloon, it will sink, and flow along the wind made by the fan. quickly click on the now black stalactite so the oil drips onto the fire, making the flames larger for a few seconds. The baloon will hit the large flames and turn into a fireball, hit the down arrow and kill the flea. You may now pass the flea thing and continue through the level. Click on the green/red switches so the triangle is red (Flat), and the lump is green (Up). Click on mahoggany and he will run across, dodge a snake and stop at the lump. A lazer force field will appear. Click on the gun to destroy the force field. Make the lump flat. HARD BIT: CLick on mahoggany to make him start running again, and activate the spring JUST before he runs into the spring. Now he will jump of Gregory and Greg lunges towards him and land on him. CLick on mahoggany again to knock out Gregory, winning the game!



Ok? CLear now? If you were getting too annoyed by the game now you may be at peace. :)

I like his style of art. Most of the flash games have the nice and clean style. The really crummy style is a nice break from the status quo.

i didnt want to quote the whole walkthrough, but zepplin said to fire blob of oil up so it hits the stalagtite, what i did was point the arrow to the right so that the oil goes straight into the fire then click the balloon. i guess it works both ways, but i think its easier my way. this game is great though, i finally beat it (without the walkthrough). andpersonally i like your artistic style for the characters. it makes it different from all the other similar ones out there

I just watched all of the liazrad man movies.. and i wanna know where i can get that song the russians sing! thats the funniest thing ive heard in a while haha.


Also.. pandaman.. do you think you could explain how to add sound to flash? or maybe a link to a site that can help?

Ive made a few flash cartoons.. but no audio does have its restrictions

I liked the game. It was fun and creative. Most flash games now are just side stepping shooters (or so it seems to me) but not this one. Keep up the good work.

Well, the russian rap's on my lizard man album here (http://www.cafepress.com/liazradman/)

If you want to add sound to your flash you will first need to download some sound files (theres heaps of sites for that)

Then you go in flash File-Import and then click on a sound file you downloaded. Now you can either drag the sound from your library to the timeline or from the properties bar when you click on a frame. Does this help?

Because everyone liked the puzzle game an obvious sequel is being made, but it'll take a while before its done. So don't expect it soon. But I will tell you that Gregory is on your side in the second game.

Because it's cool!
I bought it and it was worth every cent!!!! It's soft, well stitched interior is pure ecstasy. Its green exterior is comfy and luxorious. Anyone who questions the way of the T- Shirt is just one of the "unbelievers". Umm... yeah.

This is a really nice game... can't wait for the sequel to come out = )

All I could say is that this game would soon become a hit everywhere (I could just imagine it...), because it is just sooo fun. This is a kind of game I haven't seen before and combined with its hilarious stuff, this is a cool game!

BTW: I like the art! Although it isn't 100% professional, it is comical, it adds to the humour, and it is FUN!

It's Great, ilikepandas. I loved it. However, it wasn't THAT exciting because I played the first 3 levels when you posted the Demo. But the levels were creative. I might comment that you kind of went all wacko with all the buttons doing weird stuff on the last level, but really, that adds to the humour. I love the artwork, screw what anyone else says. Next time, maybe I might suggest adding a storyline, intro, cutscenes and whatnot. This is simply my opinion, I am sure your sequel will be spectacular either way. :)

And, as for that Russian Rap. It's really funny, because one of my friends who is Russian brought it to school one day, way before the lizard man cartoons were made. Nice little insider. YAY. I tried to get him to watch your toons, but he's too much of a kike.

Anyways, Keep up the EXCELLENT work. And keep the artwork the same, it's just the sounds that need working on.

Sincerely
Eric

Hey! Cool! Do you know what the rap translates into?

Ill make a demo by tomorrow. "Puzzleland- the United Journey" does have a story and combines a lot more different styles of Puzzles and you progress. On one level you have to translate an inscription on a wall and in another you have to bribe a guard to allow you to leave a city. Plus its got 2 characters to play as, so theres a lot of tag- team stuff.

Level one's the only complete one so I'll just use this as the demo. I won't add any more demos until its finished so it doesn't spoil the game for anyone.

Witness the awesome power of evil cloud thing and the funny popping cubes :)

I'll add more sounds this time but I don't want to make the game file too big- so for the first game I recycled sounds. I'll just go with the flow.

Finally I got one of these things right the first time hehe but I just have one little question about the full game, I know you don't wanna spoil it but will you just please answer a little question of a little Radiator? Will there be more popping cubes in the full game? http://gprime.net/board/images/icons/icon10.gif

Most probably. I'll try and have an unlockable level full of the cubes when you pass the game.



EDIT: Ive updated the merchandising store. Now there's magnets and calenders!!! :)
