How to find HINTS directly in the game:

Look (press the LEFT ALT key) at papers, labels or displays on the walls in the background.




If you want to replay the game's intro animation, press the key: R. After the animation, when the game is waiting for your action.
If you want to leave the intro screen, press the key: SPACEBAR or CTRL or SHIFT or ALT (or a MOUSE BUTTON).

Only one thing can be put into an empty safe box. With one exception: a pair of gauntlets.
If there is one gauntlet in the safe box, you can add another gauntlet, but only the other one of the pair.

Air pipes hide a shortcut. It can be used as a quick way up or down.
But of course you must be strong enough, that is: LIVES higher than 50.

Water plants are a good habitat for various microbes. Some of them glow in greater depths.

How to open a bottle?
It's easy. Click the closed bottle in the INVENTORY with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON. There must, however, be a free slot in the INVENTORY for the bottle's cap.
An open bottle can be closed again. Only the one with the red liquid, of course. Click the cap in the INVENTORY with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON, and if that particular bottle is there too ...

How to drink from a bottle?
Click any full open bottle in the INVENTORY with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON and have a taste.

But where do you fill empty bottles? Wherever you see some liquid dripping.

Follow the snake's hidden paths:
Crouch (SPACEBAR key) and go. But you must be fit (HEALTH higher than 50) or have the snake's KNOW-HOW deep inside your head.

The UCU (universal control unit) can send three different wireless commands:
The unit switches between the commands O (on) and X (off) automatically after each use. The third command (ask) you must set yourself.
To set the command, click the control unit in the INVENTORY with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON.

How to check the wind from the depths:
Before you drop into a chasm you can see the direction and strength of the wind (press the LEFT ALT key). Only if the chasm is three Bloumas (96 pixels) deep or more.

Jumps longer than one Blouma (32 pixels)?
Yes, but you must be fit (HEALTH higher than 50) and you must have the bat's KNOW-HOW of flying. If all is well, press the SPACEBAR key.

Diving below the water surface.
You need the frog's KNOW-HOW for it. But you must also have a store of air in your lungs. If all is well, press the ARROW DOWN key.

Breathing.
You can do this at the water surface (while swimming). To take a store of air into your lungs you must be strong enough (HEALTH at least 70). If all is well, press the ARROW DOWN key. More air in your lungs also removes surplus water from your body.

If you want to let the stored air out (above the water surface), click the bubble in the INVENTORY with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON.
Under water the stored air is slowly used up. But you can puff out more bubbles by pressing the TAB key.
Another way to get rid of the stored air is to drink various liquids from bottles.

Too much water in your body is no good. Try spitting a little out (press the TAB key). Only breathing in or another liquid removes all of the water.

EMPTY HEAD quick and easy:
Acquired skills take up space in Blouma's memory, and so also slots in the INVENTORY. Drinking the sap of the plant called ZOMBERRY puts you in a state between life and death. In this state the memory can be safely manipulated. In short: now click a skill in the INVENTORY with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON and remove it.

Sleep gives strength. While Blouma sleeps, his HEALTH is also partly restored.


woodbreaker in step-watch mode
This mode becomes active when the woodbreaker falls to the floor. If you must move around, use the catwalk. If the woodbreaker is within reach, carefully pick it up.

watch eye and RC (remote control)
How to deactivate the watch-eye mode? First send the command ASK (probe) and then the command OFF.


If after the command ASK you send the command ON, the woodbreaker switches to time-delay mode and the countdown starts. The countdown can no longer be stopped.

How to light up when you can't be seen?
You must have the light entity's KNOW-HOW of glowing. If all is well, press the H key.
This know-how also helps you in the dark. The light know-how works only on dry land.
