Sounds fun, though I suspect I'll have to play it to get the idea.
Unfortunately I'm back in the swamp at the moment, so it might have to wait
a little, though I'm going back to my parents next week.
Allo the best,
Dark.

You can explore the screen as much as you want. All of the level is on one
screen, but you can walk around and nothing will happen until you activate
items. The tools are located at various positions around the screen.
There's a text label along with the signatuhe music for the item. Certain
tools are only available on certain levels, so you have to explore to find
out if there's a shield or a slingshot on that level. There's definitely a
path to follow, but there are lots of things to accomplish along the way.

Well Teresa that isn't actually quite what I thought.
I knew the objective was guide a vine to fertiliser but from the
description i thought this was more sort of like robo E, than actually a
case of finding and using tools in the right way to overcome obstacles,
which sounds rather like my sort of challenge.
What is the display like? Is it a case of the hole level being shown on
screen at once with you needing to memorize the layout by running your
finger from space to space, or can you walk Minea around and learn the
layout. That was actually soemthing that always confused me a little in
the description sinse on the one hand it sounded like a maze game with a
complete spacial overview, on the other there was the business about
music themes telling you where various objects were.
Beware the Grue!

Ok, I'm not sure how to classify the game, so I'll describe it briefly.
Mimea the vine has to make her way through obstacles in order to obtain
fertilizer. As the levels progress, there are more challenging
obstacles, such as stubborn stumps and angry acorns, which have certain
properties.
there are also defensive tools, such as slingshots and shields. In later
levels, the specific fertilizer caches have to be obtained in a certain
order. Also, in order to probress to advanced levels, each previous
level has a certain number of bonuses to commplete, known as "curious
carrots". You can complete levels successfully without getting these,
but you won't be able to progress to advanced levels without them.
So in my estimation, it's sort of a combination maze and puzzle game. I
have played this game for three years. I go back and replay it from time
to time.

Hi Teresa.
Is there a recording of Stem stumper, or youtube tutorial (I know the
developers did one for their word search game)? the game sounds
interesting but I've never fancied paying money for it before knowing a
little more about what it is like, and I'm not %100 sure on the
mechanics from the descriptions I've read, in particular I'm not
exactly sure whether it's a maze game, or a 2D tile based puzzler, and
I'm afraid I'm too much of a tight wod to go and spend money on
something when I'm not exactly certain what it is about :D.
This is also why the description on audiogame.snet is aa litle brief
I'm afraid, though I'm actually interested in the game for myself
rather than just for writing accurate db descriptions.
Oh, and I do believe we had a similar conversation about the game
previusly on audeasy but probably because a lot has come up sinse then
especially in game terms what with dark room, inquisitor etc I'm afrai
I don't remember the details.
Beware the grue!
dark.

Hi, Nicol,
Stem Stumper has a tutorial mode for the first several levels. If you
touch the top half of the screen, it will be read to you at the
beginning of each level.
Stem Stumper doesn't have stereo sound, so you can play it without
headphones. You just have to be extra careful to know exactly what
you're listening for.
Let me know if you have more questions. This is one of my favorite
games. I've replayed several levels several times.
HtH,
Teresa

HI all
I'm now getting the hang of my IPhone5s so I am ready to check out
some
games.
The first game I downloaded was zany touch.
I like it a lot.
At this time I'm not going to buy the full version.
The only difference between the free and full version: with the free
version, there is only 30 tasks and then the game ends which is fine
for me.
The full version gets faster and faster untill its humanly impossible
to
respond.
That's the only difference.
And with the free version I can also try out the game on medium and
hard
levels.
I don't have a lot of money to spend so I'll rather buy stem stumper
after
trying the demo.
For those of you who played stem stumper, a few questions.
I can always check out the demo but it would be nice to get answers
from
experienced players.
is it necessary to play stem stumper with earphones?
And does stem stumper have the same audio field that pc audio games
have?
IN other words, will I hear sounds in my left ear, in the middle and
in my
right ear if I use earphones?
And if its necessary to use earphones to play stem stumper, does the
game
have a speaker test function that pc audio games have?
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Bfn
NIcol
