Quest for the Rest
A group called the Polyphonic Spree has put together this interactive adventure, and it is a challenging little ditty to keep you occupied for a few years. They are asking if you can help the three lost members reunite with the rest of their group by guiding them through three different environments. Apparently you will be rewarded. With what, I know not- as my IQ is only 120... (most likely a copy of their CD)
So, go get yourself a big fatty, get comfortable, and go for the Quest for the Rest.
If you start to get postal, there are some hints available. Click below, loser:
Page one: Click on the cactus knobs three times to drop the fruit - the turtle eats the fruit click on the guy at the back of the turtles wagon he blows up the balloon and the three people take off.
Page two: Click on the tube worm to get the green bubble, and the fish will eat that ; and the octopus will eat the fish and get sick
Page three: How do I get the submarine to move?
(Are the three people in it yet?)
Yes?
(They are waiting for you to click on the sub's top door ...)
(o.k. here's the secret of these pages ... move your mouse pointer around, whenever it turns to a finger pointer click ... sometimes nothing happens, sometimes everything happens, or sometimes the thing that happens is kinda out of sequence and it is up to you to figure the correct sequence.)
All I get out of this is a song? Not even a CD?
(click away on the finger pointer ... you are on your way to a big sing-a-long ) :-)
Comments
Awe, come on. I can't get them to move at all. And I'm sure my IQ is more than Charles...

This was a cool little game. The problem is Charles that your IQ is too high. Your "reward" for finishing is...
Post if you really want to know what your reward is or how to move around in the game. I might let you in on the secret......

I consider myself about as intelligent as a moderately deveoped amoeba but I finished it with little trouble...
Once you get the \"theme\" it\'s easy - except for one small part.
Either that or I need to get out more!

So...am I supposed to move them with just my huge intellect or is there, like, a start button?

ok...I found the scarlet cacti penises and the bound, bundled cheese. But how does that reunite anyone here? Unless it is merely metaphoric or a maybe metaphysical question? (She strokes her hairless chin at the apparent conundrum)

Finally after an impressive 'blow job' wink, wink I have moved on to forest primeval- Where I have lifted one little green man high up from the 'shroom and debased him into hiding behind some rascally ferns. It is metaphoric? Right?

Fuck it! I hate this game, and will certainly hate this Band that played 'On and On and On' (Kinda like a watered down ELO) If any one wants to take a moment and send me the player's 'Cliff Notes" here, I will be suitably grateful. Grrr..I don't have time for this!

So here I sit trying to get past the fox in the forest, and no I can't figure this damn thing out! And then I wonder, why do I buy into these challenges that Charles gives out! Although I believe myself to be an intelligent woman, I am questioning my IQ given the fact that I just wasted 20 minutes with this game!

Kathy, the fox is just a diversion. Watch for growing red stems. Sister Mary

If you like this game, there is another one called Samorost that you can play at this address:

Thanks Sauce! You rule. You're my new best friend. Your IQ must be like 500.
Posted by: Ladyartist444 | July 6, 2004 5:39 AM
Yes! Yes! YES! Reward is an understatement. I feel renewed, invigorated.. I feel like a natural woman. Hang in there everyone. At the end, you get religion. Oh, my. Must go play again. (Anyone have a cigarette?)

Do you guys get the feeling that "Choolie" is being sarcastic here?

I am confused, I just read all the comments and I think they all forgot to do the fatty. Work of Art Charles, great music. I was there............

I just played the other gamelink Sauce suggested and let me just tell you...these Czech guys are really strange. I want some of the stuff they're smoking. Whew! Be afraid. Be very afraid

Sauce -- that was great!
after going through the seven or so screens and moving the little guy along I ended up completing the Quest and it took me to this site
http://www.jimmy-k.com/amanita/
The Amanita Design home page (I guess)
I will enter later and explore! (savoring the moment)
These computer graphic guys are playing at the top of their game.

Got little man to go higher in tree.

Frog can't eat dragonfly.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Chuck-
St. Sauce knows all the answers in this land. Pray he comes to you. It's really fun when you know just what to do how to approach it. No real BIG reward at the end. Sorry-
