    Stuck on pity

    I have been doing so well until now. Just can't reach that grapple and have tried all sorts of jumps from the serenity platform, as well as how I jump through the portal from serenity, but nothing seems to work. Would really appreciate some help.

    Never mind just kept trying and after an hour I got the angle of the jump right!

    A general rule of thumb: if a jump seems impossibly hard, there's probably a different solution. I think that jump is one that has quite a different solution. ;-)

    BAFTA nomination

    I'm rather thrilled to be able to tell you guys that Incoboto has just been nominated in the 'Best Mobile and Handheld Game' category of the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) awards.

    For those who don't know, it's kind of like the British Oscars - a really respected institution. I was at Lionhead when we picked one up in 2009 for Fable 2 in 'Best Action and Adventure Game', but that was a team of 100+ people.

    I'm both impressed by the BAFTA committee's pushing of videogames as an art form, and humbled by the other games nominated alongside Inco: The Room... The Walking Dead... yikes!

    Hi,

    I've been stuck on planet Sincerity in the Merrymeet system for days... anyone know how to get the starpiece shown in this screenshot?? :)

    I've been trying to attempt jumping through microportal on Pity in the right way so that I jump in through the moving microportal on Sincerity to be able to land on the correct ledge, but it seems impossible. :confused:

    Wheelturn

    Hi all recently discovered this ingenious game. Very impressed that it's the work of one man. At the moment however I'm going quietly mad stuck in the Wheelturn system. I can't find a way to light the last sparksphere generator on Donald...

    Edit: Solved it - just a matter of timing :)

    You're right. It is. Look for another solution... higher up. :)

    thanks Dene. I'm still stuck, have been trying to jump across from the ledge above and to the right (i.e. from this screenshot) but it's just too far away...no? Unless you're supposed to microportal to it from somewhere?

    If I remember correctly, you just have to jump left from there at the last moment and keep pulling left: hard. It's a jump I still miss from time to time. Let us know if you make it!

    I'm at 99 stars, stuck in a loop between the Gateway and OneBreath systems. I've got the last 24 no problem, but now there's no more starpieces signposted. The only staying telling me which way to go is the exclamation mark over the gateway. Whichever side of the gateway I pass through, the exclamation mark stays over the same gateway. What do I do next..??

    If you've found your way back to Gateway without 100 stars, then something isn't right. You've missed a star somewhere back in the latter part of the game. Unfortunately there's no easy way to figure out where: you're going to have to use the main map and explore a bit more... and pick up a few star charts on the way!

    Found it :). and now it's all finished. I felt that the game was wonderful. Could play it all over again!

    Still not sure what caused all the suns to die in the first place. Was it definitely the Corporation? Or 'us', having used up all the universe's resources?

    I've never made this clear before, but the game's been out for a year and I don't feel bad about removing a bit of the ambiguity now.

    The moral is really simple:

    "Ultimately, YOU as consumers make corporations what they are. You have the power to make or break them by choosing to engage, or not engage with their activities and products. Stop abstaining from responsibility. Every enviro-catastrophe is YOUR fault as consumers."

    But, there are two more things I won't clear up just yet.

    1) Who made all the puzzles and why.
    2) Exactly what the Shadows are and how they mess with peoples' heads.

    Stuck on Perish

    Greetings all! First off, thanks to Dene for such a fascinating and challenging game, and to others of you for such interesting observations on Incoboto. My grandson and I are loving it! Right now, though, we're stuck on Perish with 44 stars. The game is directing me to the 45-star gate, but we can't find that last star needed to open the gate. We've solved every challenge that we can find in the Kindword system, and for the last week we've gone through everything over and over, looking for some hidden possibility. I did read of another player stuck at precisely the same spot (Mystitite). Any chance I need to start over? I'm trusting this isn't a bug, but the longer we retrace our steps and try every conceivable jump, click, lens search, and gravity swing, the more we're worrying--especially because the game is telling us to head for the 45-star gate. Any help (or even reassurance) will be mucho appreciated. Thanks!

    The good news is that if you got to this system, then there are no missed stars. It's gotta be in there somewhere. I'm not in front of a computer now, but are there any Shadow creatures still on the level?

    This shows ALL stars (both current and future). It should help you a bit.
