Here's a screenshot:

There is a force field their because you have yet to do something to make the force field dissappear.

I know I have to do something to make the force field disapear, I was asking help on figuring what that something was.

PFFFT... I was gambling my credits then it says unexpected error occured.

Notes: You should be able to skip the intro, it's good the first time, but if you watch it again, it's kind of annoying, overall this seems like a pretty good game man!

I just beat the final boss, and had a sad ending. Reading this topic, their is a better ending, and I'm trying to find it.

P.S. The bank system rocks.

And I found a bug, I have the HGA membership card from giving that guy his biscut, and it gives me all the games for free. But in the slot game (WIN! Machine) it only works once, when I lose and it says "Do you want to play again?", if I chose Yes, it cost me money.

I'm stuck in the "intent mountain" in Chapter 3. The room where there are a bunch of switches, and if you flip one they all flip? I have no clue how to get around this.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got past it; now I'm looking for some more artifacts for the museum. I really need a bigger money pouch, and the museum person said I hadn't given him anything! Oh well...

Ah, true. Fixed.



The room you have to walk through to get to that room has another exit leading south. You need to take that exit and do something in the 'desert' to unlock that barrier, like you did at the beginning of the dungeon.



You need quite a bit for the better ending - make sure you have everything you can have. Thanks for noticing the bank questions too.

That's also a bug indeed, now fixed. I'll notify everyone of a new version when I upload it. There might be some other things to fix first...

I have everything except for one kytri crystal, which is the one that you get in the "Hit the Ball Arena". That game is hard...

I'm supposed to get 400 points on Hard Mode, but I cannot get anywhere near that score... My highscore is 295, and most of the time I get 130-170.

Any tips?

Try to keep the ball in one of the "areas" by standing in the open corner and hitting it.

How do you damage the legs of the final boss?

To beat the legs of the boss you place a mine and make them run into it. You still have one more phase after you destroy all the legs, and when you beat that phase, you win.

I had problems cracking the boss out of its shell, that was I realized to place to mine and then run so he sucks it in. I feel like an idiot for that one.

Thanks, but what do I do now that I'm out of mines? Just shoot it? It seems to respond to that too.

I don't know, I have the 50 mine upgrade, so I never ran out. And random items sometimes came out of explosions if I rember correctly.

I also have the 50 mine pack, but only the explosions from the first form actually created random objects for me. I guess I'll just die and start over...

Please can you add all of the games features.

In quality, this game surpasses World of Warcraft! 100/10! You ownz!

I'm stuck again, in the fourth dungeon, the room with three switches...

I'm stuck because now, everytime I try to load the game, I get the "Unexpected Error Occured" message, so I can no longer play...

EDIT: I can play, but I'm still stuck on that Hit the Ball game.

Maybe you are trying too hard to avoid the point-lessener squares?

Also, can anyone help me? Fourth dungeon, the FIRST room with three switches. I'm stuck there.

I think in the room your talking about, you place a mine on the one in the middle of the eyes. Than quickly run to the bottom of the screen and shoot upward toward the other two switches.

20mb?very big game!
from the looks of the screenshot of this game looks like a good 12/10,if only i could download it very quickly.

Wow! This is the best game I've played in ages, and I play a LOT. So, I give you -
Infinity/10

LOL I mean it...

Mind you, it does take a while to download, I mean 20MB? God... Keep it up though!

Meh! It's those weird stone statue-type things that are in my way... I can't seem to find a way into the West Village (besides being killed by the auto-turrets)! Guidance?

Wow Im gald I finally have fast internet. I can now DL 20 MB in same time it took me 2 DL like 3 or so MB. Anyway, this is kinda cool. I can imaginge having fun with this. Everything sems to be pretty well thought out, and the cutscenes are pretty cool and stuff.

Excelent game i give it 8-9/10 but needs more work here and there.
Hint: use more hints.

It's a fun game. I like it.
Good work!

Music 7/10
Graphics 7.5/10
GamePlay 8/10

Total 8/10

The file size seems to be caused by the music files.
Maybe you could compress/decompress them?

Overall, it's good. I'd rate it an 8.4/10. It could be better though, here are some criticisms of mine:
http://gamemakergames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26407
Sorry for sounding a little harsh, but, I wanted to anger some fanboys that were like, RPG = 10 THEN ARK 22 = 12~!111!

Ouch. That stings a bit.

I'll try to address some of these more thoroughly when I have time.

Heh, sorry about that. >.< It's a good game; better than most, I just thought there were some places you could have improved.

I've been playing this game for a few days now and I was really enjoying it up until the first boss with the airship.

It's just too much what with running and aiming and shooting and trying to duck all through the keyboard and I'm about to give up out of sheer frustration.

Are there tips to beating this thing? I've read through some of the thread but with 34 pages it's just a little much. Any help would be appreciated.

Awesome game! It's one of the best I've ever played. Though, I'm a bit stuck at Chapter 3, in the "Intent's source" dungeon place. I beat the various challenges to get rid of all the blue glowing symbols, but there is a teleporter south of the blue symbol room that I can't use because it says I have to "focus" it. I've collected the machine gun, 4-mines, flask, and HGA card, yet I still can't figure out how to activate the teleporter. Do I need the teleport bracelet, and if so, how do I get it?

How can I access the things in my "items" menu? I see a symbol there for "select" but I don't know what it is.

Oh man, i love this game! 10/10! It kept me going forever. Im stuck on the part where you have to stand on switches to get the blocks onto the green squares, in some temple place, but its awesome! And to think that it was made with GM... love it!

Well, I finally beat this thing because it got stuck behind the mountain where you can get the extra ammo and I just blasted the stinker until it was finished.

Damn, I feel like shooting myself or burning my PC, I can't play it, it gives me an unexpected error after the intro, most likely lack of a good enough laptop:

Specs:
265 MB Ram
64 VRAM, Integrated
1.4GHz Celeron M processor
Windows XP


Anyway, it looks like you made a very good game, grats

You do need the bracelet - if you already have it, press C instead of enter to use it there. If not, you'll obviously need to collect it. I can't from memory direct you to the room it's in, but off the top of my head I'd suggest either checking the large round room with many exits for anywhere you haven't been yet, or return to the room with the small-view maze (if you've been there already, perhaps not) and try taking an exit South from the north entrance, instead of the default West which is usually 'illuminated' by a ring symbol.



Highlight the item with the arrows, then press the Enter key. If that doesn't work, it's 'PM Sreh with an error' key.



Oh. Fixing...



I'm not sure if Unexpected Error does in fact come from insufficient hardware, especially given that your machine should be capable of at least running it, if perhaps not all that smoothly, which is my fault. I seem to remember sound card drivers or audio codecs being mentioned in connection with Unexpected Errors... try searching the forums, perhaps?

As a reminder, if anyone playing the most recent version (or close enough) finds a bug of the 'getting stuck in a wall after a room transition' flavour, please do report it. These are possibly the most difficult to fix because of their potential infrequency in a play-through, and should never happen. Thanks again.

wow it only took me 47 seconds to download

Ah, thanks for the help! Except now I'm stuck in Chapter 5; I don't have a clue what to do. I can't get very far in the Pyramid place before reaching a seemingly impassible wall. Maybe I need something else to get through... back to exploring!

That gives me information on them but can I actually access them and use them for anything or is it just to show that I have them?

haha, I finally beat the stupid Ball hit thing and I'm back to the final boss to get the good ending.

Is there a walkthrough yet for any of this? I found a couple of links but then it said the file had been deleted. I'm at Chapter 2 and I'm trying to kill that flying eyeball.

Not that I know of, but most questions have been answered in the topic.

Well, I've been through just about every page and with 35 to read it makes it a bit challenging

Use the topic search feature...

Oh, nevermind, I just formatted my laptop and it runs now, seems like my Lap was filled with crap

Anyway, awesome game, runs smoothly something that I didn't expected considering it's an RPG and some plataformers are already very laggy xD anyway, awesome game, if you had polished the graphics and music enough, it could be a worthy rival of the GBA and SNES RPGs but it's already awesome as it is, grats :0

I'm trying to figure how to use my items xD

I tried that but it won't let you use certain things. Like if I want to search for Chapter 2 it will tell me there aren't enough characters and if I just put "Chapter' then I get every instance of the word Chapter in every game in the forum.

But I managed to kill that eyeball thing. I just don't know what to do next. There is one little square inside the entrance that still has grey dots in it instead of red -- do I have to do something with that?

I've been back and forth running from the left side to the right and back again rearranging the blocks and then shooting at the one with the circle but I have no idea whether or not I've actually completed this dungeon or not.

Huh, I actually figured it out. OMG this game is so cool. As long as you have the patience to sit and reason the puzzles out -- which I don't

very nice game...Golly I don't get why ppl hav so much trouble! Of course...
I need help with that building in chapter 5 where after you see Commander Boska or somthing, and all his men fighting all those monsters then you go right, and come to a building, I can't get past the first floor!

I was going through EO Community pages and looking in for member informations and came across Ark 22 (I know, what a sentence )... Just wanna to say, this is for sure on of the best GM games ever. Moving on 2nd place on my best GM games list (leader is secret ). I mean really, just stunning game. And now I have decided to play it again.
