Lao's Quest

[Pater Alf]

Same here. And I admit that I'm tempted to use the video walkthrough too see what I did wrong the whole time.

@eMTe and @Pater Alf:
what level did you get stuck ?

[Pater Alf]

I can tell you exactly on thursday when I'm home again. It was somewhere in the middle of temple four.

[JRLS]

i'm glad you like it
someone made a lot of video walkthroughs!, awesome!

btw, the address has changed to

I feel tempted to play this game again, for mysterious reasons. ^^

[JRLS]

btw, also worth mentioning :
the game has EASY mode, and when used with LIVES = oo (inifinity), you get in-room mid-saving.
(there will be a savepoint IN the room, so you can save during the room).
This way, the game will be a lot easier

where are you guys stuck anyway?

[eMTe]

Welcome back, JRLS.

Im replaying the game from zero, so I didnt reach the level I got stuck back then yet. What I understand from my old posts I was stuck in temple 5 and now I am in temple 4. When Ill reach the damned level which halted my progress in 2012 I'll announce it.

[JRLS]

wow!! you must really like the game, when you're starting from zero again!
you could have used passwords btw
if you're there and you need a hint, let me know!
i must say i'm impressed that you reached temple 5 once!, since some people find the game hard, both puzzle-wise and arcade-wise!

[eMTe]

I could use passwords, but replaying the game is fun.

Plus, might have been some bug which let me beat the level. I get this feeling everytime I encounter very hard level, scratch my head and think: how the hell did I manage to beat it 2 years ago?

[JRLS]

what? BUGS ?
well, if you find one which makes you shortcut the level, please let me know, so i can fix it!

actually, in an older version there was a bug in room 513 which made it possible to finish easier by bypassing 20% of the level!

[eMTe]

The only bug I have found and dont remember it from previous plays is that whenever I press "Q" I am teleported to hidden level in Valy Temple. The most irritating thing is that the game saves this level as last visited one, so I cannot return to the last regular level I played with "continue" option. And if this level requires password including letter "Q" I cannot play it either - pressing "Q" while typing password launches the damn Valy level too.

[JRLS]

OMG, i'm sorry, wrong version uploaded (test version)....
i add shortcuts in game to test levels, but sometimes i forget to disable it..... (like this time)

anyway, I uploaded a new version without the bug :

Excellent game. well thought out levels. I keep going around in circles in the kami temple. o/ lol.

[JRLS]

Glad you noticed the level design!
Where did you get stuck?

[eMTe]

Welcome back, J.

For your information, we no longer host your game. It can be found here.

For people who have an OUYA game console, Razer Forge TV or Mad Catz M.O.J.O. :
I rewrote some sourcecode to be platform independant, and released it for above android consoles,

[Cor'e =)]

I cannot play this game for two reasons, one it won't run in a window (only fullscreen??), and two, it always remaps my gamepad to garbage, anyone know how to run LQ in a Win7 window and/or stop it from mapping a gamepad (make it use keyboard only)?

[JRLS]

hi Cor'e =), got it working already with the version i sent you?

[JRLS]

also, there's a version available for the Nvidia Shield TV

Enjoy
