HI, i have the fuel on the floor but at this point i can only look at it! I can't take it up.
Bug?

Crouch

Why i have to crouch for picking up objects from the floor? Is it a bug or it's a stuff you weren't able to solve during programming? I know, it's written on the manual but it is pretty uncomfortable..

The need for crouching in this case is because you shouldn't be able to reach it easily when it is on the shelf.

ok, but there are other cases in which you need to crouch for picking up objects..
Anyway, is there another way for reaching the fuel without make the shelf falls?

We have tried to design so that almost every puzzle has several solutions (I think bout half of em has) and the gettin the fuel can is one of them. To figure it out is up to you guys ;)

EDIT: We are really interested in hearing how you have solved the more physic based puzzles like the fuelcan or getting the chord.

i just piled three boxes on top of each other and jumped on that to reach the top. bit clumsy, bit it worked

For the fuel i grabbed the shelf and made it falls with all the fuel can. For the chord i piled a couple of boxes, jumped on it and jumped again for grabbing the chord..

for the fuelcan:
I shaked the shelf -> fuelcan fell down -> crouched -> picked it up

for the chord:
found som metal sheets in the left corner of te garage -> placed the first sheet on the 'first' car lift and the second between the first and the second. then I elevated the two lifts so that they formed som sort of ramp waked up to the second lift, moved the metal sheet from 'between the to lifts' to 'between the second lift and the shelf over the shelf with all the car batteries' grabbed the chord

cheers, Paul

fuelcan:
I shaked the shelf until the shelf tumbled over.

cord:
I built a ramp with this big wooden panel on the left, walked it up and there i was :)
I also tried those elevators, but I like my ramp idea better.
