I am a fan of the art style. It looks astonishingly pretty.

Hey people,

I'm stuck at Trash City (level 14). There are two laserbots roaming an area in which there are also 3 boxes. The second bot initially is trapped, but the first bot can't be blocked without using one of the boxes that trap the second bot. The area has multiple paths for the bots, and they always get me. I can't even have a good look what I have to do in regard to power switches because I get fried too fast.

Is there a way so the bots mutually destroy each other? A good way to trap them? I don't get it...

Edit: Hey, I fickled around a bit more, and successfully rushed them... Didn't feel like the correct way to go about it, but it worked. I went to the ridge behind the open area where I found a 4th box. I then put a box on the second switch, went back and put a box on the first, and then ran for the 3rd one. Interestingly, I survived.

First of all, it's a great game, but it has a few glitches/problems.

I had to replay level 13 twice after reaching the end. (Needless to say, I got rather good at it.

) The first time, I placed the little guy where he should go (at the end of the race), then went over to Sting(?). He told me to place the bot where I put him... but as I was standing in front of Sting, he could not carry out his actions, and was I stuck in place.

The second time, my box got up to the fence before it closed, so the game let my guy go through... but then there is no power. So, I had to redo the whole level.

Out of curiosity, was it part of the design to not be able to restart an individual puzzle?

Bought this game straight away! It became my favorite game on the OUYA for playing solo!

I've encountered a couple bugs, but none so bad that they weren't manage... except at the end of level 23. I am unable to walk into the elevator and proceed to the next level.

I think there's an update for the game, but my OUYA has had ongoing Wi-Fi issues and I'm unable to get the update. So even if the update contains a fix, I can't get it.

:-(

Edit: Saw the post where someone had the same issue. I replayed the level and have reached the end.

Great game. Yeah, the gameplay is not astoundingly innovative and some of the puzzles are rather frustrating, but it's got character and a nice (if somewhat bizarre) story.
Anyway, the real reason for this reply is that I am stuck at the final battle (lvl 25) with M.O.T.H.E.R. The stage with 3 tentacles and 4 portals to power on. Managed to maneuver the boxes to power the portals on the sides, but how am I supposed to make it to the button in the middle? And if I do, how am I supposed to survive long enough to activate it 2 times?

Stuck on Level 19(?) ...One laser bot that can be avoided and after a lot of waiting commits suicide which enables placing a block to open the next platform which has another laser bot that I can't seem to avoid. It takes so long to get to the second laser bot waiting for the first to die...any help?

**simple-smile** · 12-05-2013

Oh... I hated that level. I managed to coax the first bot into taking a turn in front of the single block at the beginning of its terrain, by moving into the terrain. Then, cut its way on the left (looking away from where you came, that is), grab the block you'll find, make a circle around the terrain using the block as cover, then get the block out and put it on the touch plate that triggers the laser right when the bot is in front of it . First bot down.

For the second bot, remove the block, get back to the touchplate, and let the bot follow you so it will be fried by the same laser.

It's really hard, though... I wasn't enjoying the later levels a lot, they are only remotely puzzles but are really races and action parts.

Ouya game "CLARK" (or "CLARC", the new name) today has been nominated in Virtual Inn as one of the best Puzzle Games of the year 2013 (the winner is "THE SWAPPER" by Facepalm Games, released for PC).

The Virtual Inn review will be online soon, and the game will get a very good "8 out of 10".

Hey man! Thanks for the nomination; looking forward to read the review.
Yeah, I played The Swapper the other day and have to admit that it's a damn fine game. Great puzzles, art and story, so cheers to the facepalm guys for winning!

Best,
Felix
