Toy Bot Diaries Help

[break5]

i'm stuck at that part in level 1 with the pink metal thingy and that other (yellow?) metal thing blocking my way from moving on. I know that I can use the magnet boots to lift the pink metal thing up, but what do I do after that?:confused:

[arn]

You, yourself, closed the doorway right before you got to that section. You can open it the same way you closed it.

[break5]

Thanks arn now i get it...:D

I may be able to assist with any questions on here from time to time.

I won't give any spoilers though.

I'm underneath a red gear in the sewers. This is right after I made the wooden pin fall to get across. There is a nail holding up a purple wall. If I push it, it will move so that the wall almost falls, but no matter what I do, it won't move all the way to the right, so the wall won't fall.

What do I do?

notice which way the gear above you is spinning?
sometimes the best battering ram is a lil bot.
slam into that bolt!
but make sure you pull it all the way towards you first.

[jkasanoff]

Beat it! Thanks so much!

[somnambulysteri]

I'm stuck in the level where there's a cork gun. Don't want to give too much away but anybody know how to get past the "red menace"?

By the way, this game is amazingly fun!

[jkasanoff]

Stick to ceiling, pull on the lever on the back of the cork gun to make it turn green. Go into the front, BLAST OFF! You hit the "red menace". It may take a couple tries, but eventually you'll knock him over. After you do this, you have to do something else to advance. You may want to figure it out yourself, but it is really annoying if you fail, you have to fight the menace again. I've posted it below in case you don't want to know.







SPOILER












You have to get in the cork gun again, plus you must activate your magnet shoes before you are shot out, so you stick to the wall.

[somnambulysteri]

Thanks for the help. It was amazingly counter-intuitive to keep repeating the same action but I couldn't figure out anything else to do with the tools at hand. That last part is kind of annoying because every time you miss, you have to go through the whole process again.

Can't wait for the next installment!

Next time, I'm going to play through to see if I can get all the bonuses. :D

[stevec]

I'm stuck trying to get past the bowling ball. Keep getting electrocuted. Any ideas?

I have to say, this really is an exceptional game.

[stevenhall]

Hi Steve,

It took me a while to get past that bit too. There is a ring you need to grapple just before the bowling ball falls off to the left. The best way I found of doing this is to stay on the left of the ball as it starts rolling to the right (grapple, release, grapple, release), but allow yourself to be taken over with it to the right before it hits the wall, then stay on the right (grapple, release) for a couple of seconds before being carried over to the top again in time to see the ring top left of the screen and catching hold of it.
Hope this helps.

Steve

[stevec]

Phew! It worked! Well, thanks for that - a really tricky one to get past. Much appreciated!

[stevenhall]

Hello again.
I've just played through again to check that what I said is right.

Step 1 Set off
Staying on the left of the ball at the beginning is not all that crucial, but I find it's the best way of attacking Step 2.
http://i36.tinypic.com/2e5rsdk.png

Step 2 Get right
The main thing is that you're on the right-hand side of the ball when it starts rolling to the left. You can either stick close to the ball and go over the top with it in the last half roll before it hits the wall, or swing from it into the air for a second or two while it hits the wall and rebounds. The crucial thing is that you're on the right as it moves off to the left.
http://i35.tinypic.com/dzimp.png

Step 3 Keep right
The biggest mistake you can make here is going over the top too soon. If you do you'll fly right around the ball and plunge to your death before you even see the ring in Step 4. Stay on the right-hand side of the ball for a couple of seconds. You can even wait for the finger holes in the ball to come round before moving off.
http://i33.tinypic.com/2hpojkn.png

Step 4 Over the top
If you've waited long enough in in Step 3, it's time to grapple the ball one last time and let it carry you over the top. As you roll over you should see a solitary red ring hanging in the air on the left. Release and hang on to the ring for dear life as the bowling ball plummets below.

I hope this helps and good luck!

Steve

FINALLY found the last two memory chips. Sneaky bot developers... :)

[pinchies]

Where were they for you? I can't seem to find the last one on the first "world".

[stevenhall]

Hi Pinchies. My best guess at where you're missing a chip is here:
http://i34.tinypic.com/sz8w9z.png
This was the least obvious one for me. This is the bit towards the end of the level where you have two coin drops one after the other. You get the first coin by climbing on to that ledge to the right which is immediately above the coin slot and barrier, if you remember? What's not obvious is that there is a chip hidden away top left and you can't even see it without swinging out on that bit of wall as shown.
Is that the one? If not I have a couple of other guesses.

[Shylo Smith]

I should hire stevenhall to do all my QA ;)

good job Stevenhall.

wait till Episode 2 is out! ;) Till then you can mess around in the Demo which should be out by mid week, approval process pending.

[Rocketman919]

Any general date when episode 2 is coming?

[Rocketman919]

And also (sorry for double post) but i am missing one chip on the first level. That is it!! i must know what happened!!

[pinchies]

Hi Pinchies. My best guess at where you're missing a chip is here

That was it! Thanks!

[lookmark]

OK, this is a little embarassing, but I'm completely stuck very early on in the game at the blocked door & pink bar section (where the magnet boots are introduced). It seems I have to block that door from closing above to have it open it below, but I can't for the life figure how to do it, and have been wasting time trying to bring the pink bar up to somehow block or jam it up... without success.

A little hint, please? I'm sure I'm missing something totally obvious. Thanks in advance...

I'm so obsessed with this game, I keep resetting it and playing through again. Very happy to take screenshots along the way. I think it's the tarzan-like swinging which is just very pleasing even when you know how to solve all the puzzles, how with the right timing you fly gracefully from place to place with little effort. And also the attention to detail with the physics, which means things work out in slightly different ways each time.

Looking forward to the Demo and excited about Episode 2. Will be worth waiting for if half as much work has gone into the detail as Episode 1.

You could try simply undoing what you did to get it open in the first place. (Is that too cryptic?)

[Shylo Smith]

At this point I can not disclose when it will be coming out. But I can say it will be before christmas. ;)

Hey I'm stuck in a pit of places where i can "sling" to, but I don't know how to get out...any help?

Great to hear!

I prefer longer games, but if the episodes come out frequently (as they seem to be!) then it's not so bad.

[swamplion]

Thanks arn now i get it...:D

I'm not a gamer. I'm apparently a lamer and have spent almost an hour stuck at the same place you were, but I don't get what he was saying. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks:o

[jaynyc]

Man, I feel dumb. I'm stuck in an early area with a bunch of wheels and box with a little chain on it. Can't seem to find anyway out of the space, no openings, doors or anything.

Can anyone help?

If it's the place I'm thinking of.. the wall to the right... it isn't made of metal or brick or anything solid.. I wonder if you threw yourself at it really fast...;)

[Man of Mystery]

hey i'm stuck on what i assume is the final boss, there's this big pump-thing and i can push the lever in and out but nothing happens? and i can't really do anything, to the left is a dead end and to the right is a big flaming spikey boss

any help?

[jaynyc]

Thanks! Man, this game is sneaky. Amazed by these whizzes who reported finishing the whole thing in an hour.

[swamplion]

I am also amazed at anyone who can do this in an hour. Even if I knew where all of the memory chips were I wouldn't be able to do this in an hour. I'm still trying to get at memory. I suck at this but I can't put it down. I'm looking forward to episode 2 as well!

Do the little brown coins actually have a use?

[Tom]

Hi folks,
i´m really stuck here. My biggest problem is - how to activate the magnet boots?
It seems to me I rather accidentially get it done. With the big red robot it must be more timely and precise to come to a solution.

How can I do a screen shot?

Thanks for help

You activate the magnet boots by tapping on your character. Sometimes if you're tapping something nearby, you might have activated them accidentally.

You take a screenshot by holding Home and the Sleep/Wake button briefly.

[Tom]

whooley, thanks for the response. Tapping is it I always try. It needs sometime 5 to 10 minutes until I get the blue colour on the boots. For the advancing robot too late, he is in the front position already and I have to start over.
Absolutely annouying. Three time I reached the opposite side, fell into the void after picking the "coin" and trying to find the exit.Very bad programming.
I showed this to severeal friends, they are glad to see that and can save there money for not buying this awful game.
Thanks, I discarded it already.
Regards for your help
Tom

[Tom]

And also thank you for the hint with the screen shot!

[hlask]

Hi,

I am stuck in level 3 at the point where I have 2 fire pits and several up arrows. I know I need to head upwards but whether I climb or swing I have nothing to grapple on to. Whatever I try to do I end up in a fire pit! Have been stuck for ages - please help!

Thanks

[hyk]

Swing towards the left. There's nothing to your right.

[carrie]

I may be able to assist with any questions on here from time to time.

I won't give any spoilers though.


sorry for my poor english.
I cannot find how i can go on in entry 1 .after going down he meets a pink hatch, which he can lift up. the wall on the left does not open.
can you help me?

I love this game soooo much! I'm not usually a gamer, but the gameplay, graphics, and sounds are just so fantastic. I am amazed it is not the top of eveyone's 2008 "best of" lists for the iPhone.

That said, I am stuck at the "Hard Core" level of the last game (Toy Bot Diaries 3). I do understand that you have to get the "love bomb" { i <3 it!!! } into the interior of the "core" where the bad guy is, but how to do it? I've been trying attaching to the upper bar with the magnet boots, grappling the bomb and swinging it into the core but it usually just explodes in the magnetic sea.

Please help and again thanks so much for this wonderful series of games. Please sir - can we have more?

Trick is to hang somewhere towards the middle of the top panel where electric shock wave runs . wait until E shock gets past you and stick bot upside down to the panel, magnet it to top panel exactly where you hang . as soon as you've done that screen will change to green TV Like screen with corresponding to each 3 rotating circles buttons on the left of the screen after that get Love Bomb then use buttons to align rotating circles and drop the bomb on that Boss thing . you have to drop bomb 3 times to beat him. it get little trickier after you drop 1st bomb but thats the scenario.

hope that will get through it.

[bakuna]

oops replied to wrong post.

[Helo]

First time I've been stuck! Hit red button unlocking keys , wall on right comes down, then you have about 10 seconds to go up several platforms to get through the gap before the door closes. It seems like there isn't enough time to swing up the platforms before the door closes. I've looked for other routes with no luck? Any hints??

[Patty]

Same problem with me!!

Anybody help!!!???

[hyk]

That part kinda requires speed more than anything. You need to make a dash for it. It took me a few tries initially as well. To get through AND get the datapad, you'll really need to be fast... One advice: try using the grapple to quickly pull toy bot up diagonally, that is sometimes faster than walking.

[Helo]

Can't get through this level??

Electric grid on upper left, middle left and right and lower left

I can magnetize to the sliding bar with blue dot, but always tilt into electric grid when bar is moved right.

Any suggestions??

[Hotspur]

I'm totally stuck in TB Diaries 2. There's a level where you first have to drop a round metal ball into a hole so you can walk over it. Then you walk into another room and there are three platforms with pusher-bots on them. The top platform has a metal box with a memory chip in it.

The exit to the room is to the right, where there's an electrified gap that you die if you fall into. I thought maybe I had to bring the box down from above and drop it in the pit, but it doesn't fit through the low doorway before the pit.

How do I get out of this section?

[Lavona]

I just downloaded this game...and can't get anywhere ... I managed to swing up to the ledge, and down into the "canyon" type spot where it tells you to tilt to swing. I cannot seem to get past that. I got up to the other side once but not high enough to go over the little "fence" but ended up on the little ledge and then back into the "canyon" (which I presume one needs to pass.)

I'd like to learn to play this kind of game, if nothing else, to prove I'm not too old to do so.

Someone with patience please help.

I got stuck here too, and the only way is to rush it - keep firing and dragging towards diagonals. The last one's a real pain where you have to swing, but it is just possible.

Seems to me there are quite a few timing-related puzzles in this version. Shame, because that wasn't what the game was all about.

There are two ways to use your electromagnetic ability. You can fire a cord and swing from it, and use that cord to reel yourself in. But if you get too close to the object to which you're attached, your magnetic boots will come into play and you'll stick to it.

You need to practise making the cord just the right length so you can swing back and forth and launch yourself in the right direction!

Did the evil thought of sacrificing those innocent looking pusher bots ever crossed ur mind? Succumb to the dark side.
