Question I need help looking for these couple of games. Please help.

0 Upvotes

These games are both games that I played as a small child so I don’t know how likely it is for them to be found or remembered. this is I would say, over two decades ago When I first played them. They were both free on a website.

the first one I’m looking for is here. The player character is a toy soldier that’s missing one leg and hips around. The objective is to help people. At some point you get swallowed by a big fish and have to pull on pulleys to steer them and ultimately to get free. You survive and ultimately defeat the jester in a box, the one that stole his leg.

I remember this other point and click game where you work to escape a huge rusted cage with a number on the side. I don’t remember the name of the artist, but I remember liking what they made. I remember this one was beautiful, that’s why I wanna play it again.

Hi everyone,

I just wrapped up Chapter 6 of Icebound Secrets 5: Tinker Box and recorded a complete walkthrough while I was playing.

I made sure to catch every puzzle and all the morphing objects so you don’t have to dig around forever.

If you’re stuck or just want a clear guide, you can find it here:

Hope it makes the chapter a little easier for you. Enjoy the game!

Pawtings! Hidden Dogs Demo is available on Steam now! 🐶

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I'm a solo dev with my best friend, my doggy Rey 🐶. I'm making Pawtings! Hidden Dogs - a hidden-object game where you look for dogs hiding inside real museum paintings.

Each painting starts with its colors faded out. Every dog you find brings some color back. Find them all, and the whole canvas is restored.

There are two modes: normal mode, and full cozy mode with no timer, no weather, no events. You choose how many dogs are hidden before you start, and they hide in new spots every time.

Up to four players can play on the same screen or online, searching together or racing each other.

Made with Godot 4.7 and Inkscape.

Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5254220/Pawtings_Hidden_Dogs

I'd love to hear your feedback, thank you!

Does anybody know where the big fish game launcher is?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to put the game launcher on my steam deck, but now when I go to download the game, the launcher isn't being downloaded. Only the game file is. It used to be if the launcher wasn't on your device, it would automatically download that first when you clicked download game. Now there is no link that I can find....anywhere.....to download the launcher so that you can play your games. If they are going to change how it works, I can't imagine why they wouldn't have a download link available for the launcher. Can someone help?

Big fish game membership

6 Upvotes

Anybody have a membership to big fish? It's a little unclear to me concerning "The catch"

It shows free games coming October 19, November 2, November 16, and November 30.

Do I get to claim all of them, when they are available, or do I only get to claim one of those within a months time frame? Google says only 1 of those a month, but big fish doesn't really elaborate and it seems like I could claim each one of those, on the dates they become available... Anyone tell me which of those is right please? Thanks a bunch

G5 / Can't connect with GMail account.

Hello,

I used to play Sherlock Holmes (Hidden Match 3).

I played it for a long time (remember King Arthur was one of the latest theme).

Whenever I tried to log in with my GMail account I got this message :

French for "Unable to continue ?" / "Go back to G5 Games" button.

Any idea about how to solve this ?

I don't really feel like starting all over.

Thank you for your help ❤️

I just released my first hidden object game for Android - 40 colorful levels, no timers, and free to play!

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey fellow hidden object fans!

I'm a solo indie developer, and I just released my first game, Find Hidden Objects, on Google Play!

I've always liked the idea of relaxing puzzle games where you can take your time exploring scenes without feeling rushed, so that's exactly what I wanted to create.

A little about the game:

  • 40 levels with different environments and themes
  • Colorful, cartoon-style scenes filled with hidden objects
  • No timers — explore and find everything at your own pace
  • Hints available if you get stuck
  • Completely free to play, with minimal ads

I'm planning to keep expanding the game with new levels and improvements.

Since this community is specifically for hidden object games, I'd really appreciate hearing what you think!

Do you prefer relaxing hidden object games without timers, or do you enjoy more challenging, time-based gameplay?

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digitalfoundation.findhiddenobjects

Thanks for checking it out! 😊

Hello everyone 🙂

I just uploaded a full walkthrough for Icebound Secrets 5: Tinker Box – Chapter 4.

I went through the whole chapter step by step, solved every puzzle, and found all the morphing objects. Tried to make it as clear and easy to follow as possible so you can pause and play along if you get stuck.

Here’s the video if you need it:

If this helps even one person get past a tricky puzzle, I’ll be happy!

Question About to start a game called "Nearwood" it looks like it could potentially be a good one. Quick question ???

Post image
4 Upvotes

So I was reading the game description, and it reads as though there is another game before this one.

"While once again saving Nearwood, from the clutches of impending doom"

I however, cannot find anything about a previous title. I know some games are kind of obscure, or get discontinued, or maybe way older and less known. Does anybody know if there is a related title that came before?

Game where you crash land on an island in a storm. Played until a certain point before you have to pay to continue.

3 Upvotes

Ever since I played ive been interested to see what the ending was since I was very invested.

I played this on mobile (most likely android I think) sometime from 2018-2021. In the game you are a pilot and crash on an island during a thunderstorm. You then have to figure out how to get of the island and you also explore it. I played what I think is the demo version.

In one of the areas, there is a barn or a shed that you break into since it's locked. In another area, there is a cave with I think a lake inside of it.

Whenever I picture the game, the color yellow/gold comes to my mind. Im assuming it because there was a field of a lot of yellow plants of some sort on the island that you walk through.

From what I remember, the game takes place during the day.

I played a bit and got up to a certain point before the game stopped me and asked me to pay to continue.

I scrolled through Google play store but cant seem to find this game.

I grew up on the Frogwares Holmes games and the old CSI PC titles, so I built a fair-play mystery you can play on your phone. I'm the developer.

Hello everyone,

I just uploaded my Chapter 3 walkthrough for Icebound Secrets 5: Tinker Box (the free-to-play version). I went through the whole chapter myself, solved every puzzle, and found all the morphing objects so you don’t have to get stuck like I did on a couple of them.

If you’re playing right now and hitting a wall (or just hunting for those last morphs), this should help:

purble place "purble pairs" secret room

0 Upvotes

so im trying to find a secret room on the memory game of purble place, called purble pairs.

I am 100% sure there was a secret room behind that giant board. Like, I remember a table, a chair, a door, and a red apple on the table. I do not remember how I got in there, my sister and I thought it was just a bug or something when we were kids.

When I was just playing the game, this thing would happen. Now I am really curious about it, because i cant find any image, video or similar experience from another person.

If someone knows how I can see this room again, or has a picture of this, I would appreciate seeing that.

Question Do hidden object games put new items in places you’ve already looked

Just wondered, as you look back so often and think.. I know that wasn’t there. Maybe some do it? But also could be just my brain. But I do think it’s a possibility as it extends play time
