I can't get my Jack past this part.

Clues would be most welcome.  :-/
After that I'm not sure where to go. I fell once and landed down and to the left by a fluke but quickly lost lives there. I have yet to make it to the arms off the left side.

Darn I tripped it but it does me no good.
I can't get out of the blue, brown or green to get to the left.

in the first pic it loox like you didn't pull the lever in the upper right to open the lower left door... darn... ;)
but you seem to have solved that.

In the next pic, as you see the section you want to reach is grey, and if you take a look at the starting room you see the grey section, and that it's to be explored a whole lot later... if you've visited blue, brown and green, you sure have a grey section to enter next, but it's not that one on the pic

happy hunting!

Thanks, having lots of fun. hmmm

Woot! Up to 6!

ah nice :) only three to go then :D

Darn I don't want to finish it. It's too fun.

Hey I have an Ollie too.
Here he is in the middle (up front of course) between me and his sister Pepper Ann. His name is really Oliver but Ollie is so much easier to say.

Oops just noticed yours is Olle. Is it pronounced like Ole? Or Ah-lee?

Good for you then, that there will be a Normal-Hard version soon, with not only a bit remade rooms, but also around 110 more :D

People seem to read and type my name as Ollie here on the board... hard to type the pronunciation in text, but the "O" should be short and without any diphthongs... and similar to the "u" in bush, depending on your accent of course [which makes this even harder :)]

To avoid misunderstandings, you can always refer to me as otg or just "the Greatest"  8-)

Finished taaadaaa!

90% secrets which is great for me.
I really enjoyed it.

90% at first try is great :) not the greatest, but there can only be one ;)

Hi iRock,

I love the pics of your babies, they are gorgeous.

Would you please tell me how you made those white boxes with text inside them, and how to make the arrows pointing to the problem area.

I would greatly appreciate the instructions.

BTW Olle, I too got stuck in that area, and had to replay the game.  Great Game!

Thank you.

How did you get stuck? did you not pull the lever in the upper right before leaving in the middle right, so that the grey door in the lower left was closed when entering from that side?
Or did you get stuck in some other way?

Yes, I forgot to pull the lever......hee, hee.  I played it last week.  

Great Mansion.

Thank You

That's one of the main features with Octopus... don't forget to do things, or you will regret it later :D it's even more important with the hard version since it's a lot bigger and even more "intertwined" than the easy version. Hard coming as soon as Freddy reads his email? :D

I'm really looking forward to the hard version. This is a great mansion.
8-)

I'm sorry Missy I didn't see your note until now. I used Imagewell which a great picture uploader but does the basic arrows, text, etc.

Besides, you can install a vischeck plugin on ImageJ
