Lollypop
 

This is the place to talk about Lollypop
Don't be shy (:

Nice review Rodney, you got potential, in the future you should look to write little shorter reviews especialy in the area of saying the same thing more than once and than we will have another great reviewer on our site. ;)

About the game, I dl it, will try it out soon. Just for it's sweetness. :3:

I have tried 4 times to down load this game but with no success..:huh:

Works fine for me, Sal :mhh:

I can't think what the problem could be...

Beautiful post, russ :OK: So much better than the Kosta one :3

[Am I allowed to bump such an old thread?]

I must say i really like this game so far! The Toy Factory struck me as a little creepy, though when ya really think about it. Namely the replicas of the protagonist in it. Especially the broken ones...

Also there's an oversight in level 2, underground. There are two pits you can fall down, both leading to spikes. If you fall down either one you're stuck waiting for time to deplete because the spikes have no hitbox! Also the game keeps giving me incorrect passwords so I have to come here for them. Why does the game do that? Does the game give wrong passwords if it thinks a copy is being played, as some form of protection?

And does the protagonist have a name? The review just calls her 'girlie'. If she doesn't, I'll think of something.

Any of the threads about the games on-site (Which is all of the threads in Games Discussion) can be posted in at any time by anyone. They are here for people to talk about the games on-site for whatever reason they want.

Well that reassures me.

Anyway an element of the game continues to puzzle me. There's an object on the HUD, right of the timer. It looks like a roll of film. It apparently means something, because collecting a field object that resembles it seems to trigger the dialogue "Click, click!".

Also according to Moby Games the protagonist's mane is Lolly.

The roll film is like a mega bomb, when you have it you can press space key to activate it, then all the enemies that you can kill throwing lollypops to them will die after the photo.

I see. I tend to not use those in games, anyway. Do they work on bosses?

Yes, the photo-bomb works with bosses.
I tried it with the first one, that monkey, and after 4 "photos" I did to him, it cost me less time to kill him with only one lollypop as weapon.

And I think that maybe is possible that your hits to the boss are cumulative, so if you die your previous hits are mantained.

Also, I discovered that if you press the Alt key, the game speeds a little up. You can walk a little more quick, but the environment and enemies speed up too (good for waiting the elevator to come).

I set up the game with 7 lives an auto fire on, and I managed to reach Level 3 this afternoon.

There are 2 things that I don´t like, first, you can´t recover hit points, and the second, is that the password records your level and your number of lives, they don´t refill your lives after starting a game from a password.
After all I like this game. :)

Edit:
After defeating the 3º boss, a message appeared to me saying that because I played it with more than 3 lives, I only can reach level 3, so if you want to finish the game you are only allowed to play it with 3 lives option, not with the 7 lives.
So, Rainbow Arts 1 :hihihi: - Player 0 :owned: (maybe they explain it in the manual, I don´t know).

Forgive your passwords too for this reason playing with the 7 lives option, you will never reach level 4.

Edit 2:
Ops! I step on the trapdoor, that trap that says: Man, read the review.

I'm already on level 8, the last one. Just got done with 7. I only did level one the first day I got it, so I managed to pass my way through that problem since I've been taking the codes from Abandonia's extra instead of the game itself, ever since it lied to me.

I skipped 7 though, I got 3 of the tiles and made it to the boss arena. I can;t get the fourth one because the area it's in begins with icicles with horrible, disjointed hitboxes. I was half an inch away from the giant one and i stilll got hurt.

Also you can recover HP, the candy you get in boxes restores one HP.

Yes, you can recover HP, I see it, when you get candies. Better!

The passwords that the game shows to me works, but the first time I tried two of them and I couldn´t play the levels.

Then I changed the zeros "0" of the password for the letter "O" and then it was ok. Check too the number "6" with the letter "G", the "Y" for the "V" and the letter "L" is somelike a number "4".

They mix numbers and letters and are a bit confusing.

I am in level 4 right now with a password with 6 lives, but I have some problems in a pit, that I must jump in platforms that dissapear, and I have bad timing and can´t pass it.

Edit:

I just reach the level 5.
This level seems harder than the previous, a lot of floors and jumpings, it´s like a medieval maze.

Also I edit because I found a secret!
Is in Level 4, at the entrance of the pit with a bucket of water:

If you fall exactly beneath that floor into the water:

You enter a secret bonus!

In the chests there are one power up, a candy and time! :p

I found that on accident.
I wonder where other secrets lie. Someone needs to make a guide with all the secrets.
And pass words that start you with max lives and power. :]

Double post I know, but I finished the game and just waned to note how unique the credits were. Silly at times but still.
And the bonus game is hilarious and charming.

Do you know that DOSBox has a screenshot function (Ctrl+F5 by default)?

This is adorable

I, hate, act 7, so, much ...

But the entire game is sweet and funny, I've found 2 secrets in act 3 (Raining forest), if you walk through the land on the left, the part that is dark, where there's like a cliff... the same way before you meet the boss. Both ways lead to 2 different secrets, they are like caves and there's torches, and some graphic glitches.

I can't post pictures, sorry
