It turns out that I not only had to touch the creature, but touch and hold to make him start singing, which brought more of the creatures onscreen (and moved the game forward). I passed that section of the tree countless times in search of the fifth and final key that would let me move on to the next level.Īfter several minutes of searching all the other areas, I grew so frustrated that I - and I hate to admit this - found a walkthrough for the game and used it to point me in the right direction. After inspecting the rest of the screen, I moved on to a different section of the tree thinking that the answer to the puzzle must be elsewhere. When I first came upon him, I tapped on him to see what would happen, but nothing changed. In one of the levels a lone creature sits in a section of the tree. The puzzles are sometimes overly difficult In Botanicula, no two problems are the same and no two solutions are the same. Each one requiring you to think outside the box you need to experiment to figure out how the pieces of the puzzle all fit together. Interactions like these are commonplace throughout the entire game. Sometimes a simple touch reveals a hidden animal, while other times multiple taps or a long-press are required to bait an animal out in the open so you can interact with it. As you progress through the levels your eye becomes trained to look for tiny spikes, small eyes, or wiggling leaves as an indication of items waiting to be touched. Probably the best piece of advice I can give for playing Botanicula is to touch everything.
