Well, nothing like bringing to the forums a tropical paradise for Easter, hmm?

This adventure was created off an inspiration I had,
and was based around the chunky center.

The water was originally just decoration, but later contributed to the puzzle.

Because of this, it's hard for me to really decide on this being a "monster" or not,
but I think I'll settle with this going in the "miscellaneous" section.

I do hope you guys really enjoy solving this;
even if you don't solve it, it's still decently fun.
(Don't worry, it is hard.)

Here's my video solution.

2023 Update: I have since updated this adventure to remove softlocking and unneeded elements. Please click >>> HERE <<< for all future downloads and ignore the historic one below.

Hello Jutomi, clever puzzle you got there, may I know what is the winning condition; if its the star, how do I activate it?

[Jutomi]

In my adventures, pressing the gold button, unless there's a gate or suction tube around,
should activate the star.

It's not like it's much; if you get to the button, you're basically at the star.

My video solution has been posted, to this adventure.

I do hope it helps those of you whom have been absolutely stumped.

Bump~ Another oldie (8 years ago now), and a scary one at that; while not particularly my hardest adventure, this certainly is one of the more daunting ones.

Why on earth, then, would I be updating it all these years later?

Well, this one's actually for a good reason: to remove an alternate solution that almost works but seems to softlock the player. Or, at least that was the case for Joseppy's run

How do I fix this issue? Well, by removing three magic charges, of course! "What?" Yes, as it turns out, the grow charge, a brr and a blink were all wholly unnecessary! :shocked:

The solution is still largely the same, but hopefully by removing these redundancies, I have not only removed largely unnecessary steps from the intended solution and removed some potential cheeses, but also reduced the amount this adventure may overwhelm the solver. Or leave them in awe over fewer possibilities... either way that's a boon (Note: I also replaced a pow with flash so you can't stack them, as well as added a gold button so you a) know what gold buttons do and b) know where the star is.)

Hope you enjoy.
