The Dark Complex

[Unregistered]

any idea on the yellow room with the arrows you can spin around in a circle on blue and green platforms? i have no idea what they want you to do here.. Im also stuck on the room with the arrows you can move around from one platform to the other.. Only room ive been able to get so far is the green room where you have to match 4 of each symbol on each side and one side with 3 symbols simply because there has to be one open space to solve that puzzle.

all you gotta do is go around the whole room and click on the round thingies

syeeeeiieiei

ai!

Now, somebody needs to put up a webpage of a walkthrough of the dark complex and provide visual aids so as to help the reader better. Reading through these posts successfully throws the reader off onto some "planet" that people keep mentioning. They aren't planets! It's like the movie/story "The Cube"!!! Arg! So, if anybody out there is a diehard Dark Complex fan, and you've solved it or are in progress - and will solve it, put up a webpage with the walkthrough and pictoral examples of each step... and to make it even better, give it to the Google people so they can index it for when people search for help on it. Bye-bye.

I send this game to Gamershood.
I'm very sorry if this is too hard. I have a hard time to manage the game too. I send it 2 times. and here it is.

Getting things

I got this black screen . CLicked the black buttin which made the things colored. Then clicked inside each one of it twice so that i was able to see balls going into the cube...then selected the red room and in red room. We have to select the button again...it will bring some shapes on all walls..find the common one on all faces by clickin them...then it gets sloved and now you can see two open doors and all other are closed...opened one more door and now i have 3 shapes revolvin around one and in couple of faces two purple arrows.

this may sound stupid but i can't get out of the first room, the round thing below me keeps spinning...is that important to getting out of here?

[lscc]

can anyone give me a hint as to what i need to do to get to the next level?

You can find many hints here:

Right,

If you want to stand a chance on this you're probably best mapping the cube (which I have done and it only took me 10-15 minutes or so). I can't be bothered drawing out a huge map for you all so here's the basic info you'll need:

1) There are 12 cubes: 4 Green, 1 Cyan, 3 Blue, 1 Purple, 1 Black, 1 Yellow, 1 Red.

2) Each cube can have some of the following features: A fixed number of doors (they never change), a small hole (up to 1 per cube) which when clicked on gives you a view of "something" (presumably a progess indicator), a button which when clicked makes the side of the cube it's on revolve (no idea what this does yet), a puzzle button on one corner which either opens up a puzzle or gives you the "planets" everyone has mentioned, and finally the other sort of button (which I think are only on the green cubes) which when pressed make lines appear all over the cube.

Go away and map each cube. i.e. draw a (flat) cube and write down where each door goes. Some paths are ONE WAY i.e. you go through a door and to get back where you just came from you'll probably have to go through a few others.

I guess the idea is to first solve each of the puzzles, some of which I've done but others I can't be bothered with. Once you've done that I imagine the purpose of the rest of the stuff becomes clear.

Good Luck,
I'll post if I actually bother to solve it now.

Right,

Some of what I just said was correct: namely what can be on each level. Unfortunately, every time you complete a puzzle some more doors appear and thus more cubes (AARGH!). So far I'm up to 16 cubes and I reckon there are plenty more to come.

My advice still stands. The only way to keep your sanity is to map the whole game. The map doesn't change (once the doors open up) so it's worth doing. What people need to do is post solutions to the puzzles. So far I have found the following puzzles:

The Ameobas (Solved - see earlier post)
The triangles of 6 cogs (Unsolved)
The space ships made out of snall squares (unsolved)
The one with 6 circular symbols broken up each into 4 parts (Unsolved but I'm pretty sure I know how)
Another similar one but the symbols can be put in any order (Solved - easy)
The one with the arrows and kind of maks you think of a clock face (Unsolved).
The one with 4 shapes on each side, two of which can be selected at any one time (Solved - see earlier post)
The one with four large coloured triangles on every side os the cube which change colours when clicked (Unsolved)
The one with the little wormy-insects crawling around - reminds me of the online game FLow (Unsolved)

As you can see I'm not doing too well and this is clearly only a fraction of the puzzles in the game. As for the extra buttons/spinny things -I'd ignore them until all puzzles are completed, I think they come in at the end.

Solutions to puzzles Please!
