    Fun, with a few exceptions: Candle only works in French (pretty sure that’s a bug not part of the puzzle.) Green Light, Red Light doesn’t seem to have a solution. I have a webcam and choosing “allow” doesn’t make mine turn on. If anyone has managed to beat that level, how did you do it?

    Mashplum,
    Candle: yes, I couldn’t get anything to happen until I switched the language to French, then as soon as I opened the puzzle, the candle was extinguished. Success without knowledge of how is a bummer!
    GreenLight: Run the pointer back and forth across the green light to make it grow.
    My Corner: I have had no luck with this one yet.
    Ping: Ditto

    Played it before, but still, it’s a great game
    Though I personally would not consider it as a puzzle game, but more like a program demonstration:
    how the game connects to your printer, or webcam etc

    About the candle one, I can’t make the microphone to work, so I can only type ‘blow’ to extinguish it.

    Finally done, very clever. Alphabet-boy is right, it’s really all about realizing how the game is interacting with your computer and following its logic.

    My Corner: duh!
    Ping: took a long time, but a co-worker’s suggestion got me there.

    I managed through all 25 levels after a lot of trials and errors.

    The gift at the end is totally worth it. :)

    Shawn,
    I tried your advise on Greenlight, but it did not work. What OS and browser did you use?


  9. Margot | Profile (beta)

    The idea, as I understand it, on Greenlight is simply to move the mouse while it’s green, and stop all movement while it’s red. If you’re doing it right, the circle should grow while it’s green. If you move while it’s red, the circle will shrink.

    I completed it just moving the mouse in circles in random spots on the screen. I’m on Windows, using Firefox.

    Also, thanks for the tip about doing Candle in French. It was bugged or something, and I couldn’t complete it in English. It was the only one I had left to do. :D

    The candle one is extinguished and hangs..

    Anyway, I do not have a webcam or a printer.

    Will it affect solving the 16 and 25?
