The Open Cave

How to play The Wall Game

The game is played by 2 players. Your aim is to reach the top of the wall and enter the Maintainer Nexus before your opponent does. At the first part of the game, every player will place 1 - 20 blockers on their side of the wall and create a maze to prevent the other player from reaching the top first. During the second part, both players climb the wall and try to find their way through the maze.

1. Invite one or more players to your Gahreesen. Make sure you activated the journey cloth inside the yellow conference room, otherwise everybody will have to jump 'n run through the complete age first.

2. One player walks to the yellow and the other one to the violet control room. Sit down at the control panel.

3. One of the players activates the panel by pressing the green button at the top.
If the panel is active, the lights on top of the panel will be red.
4. One of the players has to set the number of blockers to be used in the game. You can set any number from 1 - 20. Press one of the red buttons on the left side of the panel to set 5, 10 or 15 blockers. To add or subtract blockers, use the red buttons on the right. The first will add one blocker, the third button will subtract one. The yellow/violet light on top of the panel will show how many blockers are set.
5. To fix the number of blockers, press the middle button on the right. The lights on top of the panel will go off.
6. Set your blockers by clicking on the grid in the middle of the panel. The yellow/violet light on top of the panel shows how many blockers you've already set. To remove a blocker, click on it again. When both players are finished, they need to press the green button on top of the panel again to fix their blockers.
7. Get up and follow the passage on the left until you reach the locker room.
8. Just walk into the suit dispenser, to get your maintainer suit. You will be transported down to the wall.
9. Go to the ladder and start climbing the wall. If you run into one of your opponent's blockers, you'll fall from the wall and have to start climbing again. The blocker will flash shortly and disappear again. Remember the place and try to find a way around all obstacles to the top.
10. Once a player reaches the top, he'll be transported into the Maintainer Nexus. You can link back to the yellow or violet control room. Just look closely which color flashes shortly before the book is dispensed. When the winner has entered the Maintainer Nexus, all blockers (from both players) will become visible on the wall.

11. If you want to abandon the game, just walk over to the violet crystal just opposite to your wall and press it. You'll be transported to the Maintainer Nexus.
Known issues:

- Wait until both players are seated on the control panel before you press any buttons, or the panel will be messed up. Also, don't leave the panel while setting the blockers. If you set your blockers and press the green button while the other player doesn't sit at their panel, they will not be able to press any buttons on the panel anymore.
- If your game is messed up, try to abandon it by using the violet crystal. If it doesn't work, leave Gahreesen completely, link back in and try to reset the panel by activating the green button again.
- If you link into the observation room while the panels are set, you will only see blockers that are set after you've entered the age. Both players will see the lights on top of the panel flashing for a short time. The top lights will continue to show messed up numbers during that round, but the gameplay will not be affected.
- If you use the same button to set the blocker number in the next game, it will not react. Just press another number button first.
- When you walk into the suit dispenser, you fall down immediately. After a few seconds, you'll see the suit dispenser animation and go down.
- Sometimes you cannot move once you're transported down in your maintainer suit. Just wait a few seconds. The suit dispenser animation will start again and you will be transported down again. You are finally able to move, but you'll have the standard avatar and no maintainer suit. Finish the wall game like that. To get your own avatar back, link out of the age and if it doesn't work, restart MOUL.
- When you press the violet crystal to abandon the game, an elevator will transport you to the Maintainer Nexus. Once the animation starts, you cannot leave the elevator area and click the book. If you jump, the animation will start again, but you will still be unable to leave. Just link back to your Relto and return to Gahreesen.
- Sometimes you fall through the map while on the elevator and panic-link back to your Relto. Just return to your Gahreesen.

The Wall Game Rules:

- Don't block off the route to the top of the wall completely. You must give your opponent the chance to reach the top.
- Don't climb outside the grid/play area where no blockers can be set. If you're caught, your opponent wins by default or you're disqualified.

Enjoy!

This is awesome and very useful ... Thank you, Al Bina ...

I just saved this as a PDF file ... nothing special, just opened the pictures, hit print and
saved it as a PDF ... If anybody would be interested in having this as a convenience
or even to print that out, I've uploaded it to my MediaFire account ... Enjoy ...

Truly thank you, Al Bina!
I recognized I was not yet familiar with this and that detail/bug.

Control Panel Lights

Filtik has modified the lights on the control panel. They show the different states of the game.


1. All lights are out: No Game has started, no player is sitting on the panel. This state will only show before the very first game.




2. One yellow/violet light on the right side of the panel is on: First player has sat down.




3. Both lights on: Both players are sitting.




4. Both lights are blinking: the panel has been activated. They keep blinking until the number of blockers is set and fixed.




5. Both lights on: the number of blockers is fixed.




6. One yellow/violet light on the top of the panel is on: First player has set and fixed his blockers.




7. Both lights on: both players have set and fixed their blockers.



- You can get up now and go to the wall.


8. One yellow/violet light on top of the panel blinks: The yellow/violet player has won the game.




9. Known bug: When the second player finishes the game, his light will blink on top of the panel.

Awesome job, Filtik, now this is very nice, foolproof and most convenient for all involved ... /thumbsup ...

I've created myself a PDF version of this as well ... For anybody interested I've uploaded it again ... Enjoy ...

Unnecessary to say: Great work, TOC-Team! Both thumbs up!
