Double Fine just released part one ofBroken Ageto Kickstarter backers this week, and it’s a big deal for multiple reasons. Not only is the game highly anticipated, but the Kickstarter itself was full of fanfare and controversy, mostly for splitting the game into two acts.
Our own Caitlin Cooke is plugging away for a review [which has since gone live], but in the meantime, here are some tips I’ve collected throughout my journeys in the world ofBroken Age. Most of these are at the request of readers who got “stuck” in an area or two, but like all adventure games, I urge you to try and beat it by yourself, and only consult these tips if youreallycan’t progress any further.
Also, there are light spoilers abound, so if you’re not a backer and aren’t playing, come back after January 28 when the game is released to the public!
[Second spoiler warning, ho!]
Vella:
The next egg you may just grab after talking to Jack Black’s character — to reach him, put a fruit from the top area in the left area’s basket.
The next golden egg is trickier — you’ll have to fall on the character that’s stuck in the tree by jumping into the northern-most cloud pit on purpose. Then you’re free to grab the blue egg, and switch it for the golden one with the blue bird in the central hub.
Shay:
Take the can of compressed air and use it on your suit, then cut the cord with the knife found in the kitchen, and use the whipped cream gun found in the ice cream room. The controls are on the top left of the area found in space.
