There were also at least two secret keys that were completely unreachable

I also found these 2 keys unreachable. There's the yellow key in 30290 and a red key in 31904. Jack found the way to get right next to them but was unable to pick them up, even by bending down backwards and forwards. If there is another way to get them, Jack was unable to figure it out.

Any hints? Are they in fact reachable?

This is a very creative and large mansion, and Jack is enjoying exploring this huge ship. But those keys are bothering him.

Cool

Both these keys are very reachable.

Hint: Once it was called ... Toybox novelty ... by Freddy.

Sometimes Jack can only reach a treasure by facing away from it, and then you hit the down arrow to make Jack bend down, and he gets it.

I don't remember having seen that. Can you give me an example?

brell,

I found an issue in room 31695, but I can't remember exactly what it was..... while playing I noticed some problem and just scribbled the room number on a piece of paper. Too bad I didn't take notes on the nature of the problem, but I fear I got stuck there, or something like that.

LATER:

I checked the room again...I remember now: the

JS

occured, when I hopped from platform to platform, then via the skull platforms onto that little lava thing, as I suspected something there. Once all the skull platforms were gone I was stranded (=stuck) on that lava thing....with only suicide left as an option.

brell:

Just wanted to let you know that I started the game from scratch after you posted the update (and because I simply couldn't continue beyond a certain point in the old game (below the "twisted ladder").

Sorry to report:
When I played the update, the BBBs in the following rooms couldn't be read at all: 30896, 30300, 31299 !!

Also I had a Jack-stuck in room 31695, where I went to the left, couldn't open the purple door (as I didn't have a purple key), returned to 31695 where I got stuck above the ladder, as (obviously) it was impossible to do a reverse ladder-jump !!

Had to commit suicide several times, then abort and restart from last save.... Angry

Reply #47 - 17.09.2007 at 21:11:32 As I've said many times: I do not know why you have these sign reading problems. I've never encountered them and neither have my testers. About room #31695: The JS you think you had is an illusion! And why didn't you take the purple key before going left of this room?

Did you check the ... checksum after downloading? In the period of the betatesting I had once an odd experience (which had nothing to do with the BBBs btw). The cause was rather simple: something went wrong with the downloading. Once in a while that happens. Sad

@Freddy:

No, I didn't check the checksum. Download went so smooth, I can't believe there was something wrong with it.....

@brell:

Yeah, I know you said it several times (that you didn't know what causes the BBB issue), but I just thought I'd better tell you that it's still happening.

As for the purple key:
It's not that I "didn't take" the purple key. During that particular game, before the JS happened, I didn't see no purple key in this area (I took a different path....I remember last time I arrived at the purple ddor and DID HAVE a purple key. But not this time....)

The JS being an illusion:
I had to look up in the editor what you meant.... OK, there's a tiny bit of _____ there, but how am I supposed to know that ? Also when I tried to jump there, I still died.... it takes quite some skill to land exactly on that bit of ____. Once you know exactly where it is, it gets a bit easier though.
