In the saga of point'n'click games first there was the era of "escape the room", then there was the era of the film tie-in, and now there is the era of the cute comic caper. Maybe anyway. There's lots of cute games today and the 3 Wish Rat is a particularly good example. A lot harder than I was expecting when I first saw it [subbed by Hewitt, Ron, Justme & Kennymfk].

HE JUST SAYS I SHUOLD GET OUT OF HERE FIRST AND DOES ASOLOUTLY NOTHING HOW DO I GET OUT?!!?!?

..........i feel really dum.

did u figure it out???? How to get the little bugger out???

Its so frustrating! Kept telling me that he should get out of the cage first. I know I should get him out. But like how?

You have to click the paperclip behind his cage to the left then click the keyhole to get him out:)

This is the best sort of point 'n click! IMHO

Im confused after that, i picked up everything and now he doesnt understand.

How do you use the stuff you've picked up?!

OK never mind, I figured it out.

How do you use the stuff you've picked up?!
I can't figured out

Wow got there at last and the little guy is happy.

i have knocked the lid off the jar, got the hook, magnet on string, orange thing on pen bit, i have opened the draw moved the notice board what next?

Use the red string with the hook to go fishing.

i' ve used the baloon, the glove can move to the middle or near ruller.
i can't do anything more, please help

Move to the ruler side, and if the jar is open, use the pen middle with the baloon and use the combined item on the bookcase.

thanks furrycheeky i've got it

HELP!!

Whats up?

I used the magnet, got the hook out the drawer, hit the lid of the jar, picked everything up...etc..now what?!!

ive got used the magnet, got the hook, hit the lid of the jar, now im completely stuck!

Red string + Hook = fishing line. Catch a glove, use glove/string on the hook the ruler is on. Wheel glove over to bookcase, use pen middle on the baloon and use that on the bookcase to move it. Pop baloon with pen nib and fill the glove. Wheel it back over for reward.

the red string hanging on the bookcase? i cant get the hook 2 connect with it!

Works here, the red string that was on the hook the ruler uses attaches to the brass hook from the drawer.

never mind, i completed it...thanks furrycheeky..x

anyone help got a fork, pen in pieces, ballon, string, magnet and a ruler what's next

take the ruberbands from the drawer by using the fork.
combine ruberbands and the lid of the pen together.
click jar.
when the jar is open wheel glove to the jar.
Use pen nib and click baloon.
Contents inside jar fall.
Wheel glove back

i have the same situation as Duby

Im trapped and cant get the magnet

knock the notice board with the rolled up piece of paper, which u have stuck together with the selloptape, u will then b able 2 reach the magnet ben!

how do u use the stuff u get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

o never mind, now i have the magnet+string together, the ballon+pencap, the ruler, hook, and fork, NOW WAT!!!

seriously... I can't use the stuff either! I have the item I want to use in the upper left hand bubble (ie. fork) and then click EVERYWHERE around the rubberbands and all he freaking does is say "I do not understand" HELP!

never mind, now the glove is by the hook, and when i click the jar nothing happens

i win!!!

how do you pick up the red string on the bookcase?!!?!?

nevermind. This was cute. off to the other pointandclicks.

yay! he got his cute ickle sunflower seeds!

how do you get the red string off of the bookshelf?

nevermind

what a great game! "I should first leave here," over and over. yes, that was kind of what i had in mind for you too. glad to know we're in agreement.

hey, if you click over and over you get a whole crowd of rodents chorusing "I should first leave here"!

what's up with the used condom hanging off the desktop on a string? cute touch, yes, but what's it doing there? and how come he DOES understand that?

how do you get the red string off the bookcase?

MINIMAL HINTS:


* if you click on the mouse, you see her inventory. once you get some items in the inventory, explore them.
* get used to repetitious comments from the mouse.
* there's something she can reach from within the cage, before she can "first leave here."
* you can only use an object if it's highlighted in the circle in the corner.
* when you get a comment ("I did not understand"), it means that clicking there WILL be useful once you have the object you need highlighted. but you may need to customize the object first.
* collect everything you can reach. then try to use everything you couldn't collect, to customize the things you have.
* there is at least one thing you can reach that you might not notice.
* the fork is useful in more than one place.
* you end up using everything, and clicking everywhere at least once.


MAJOR SPOILERS
* the goal is to get to the seeds in the jar on the bookcase.
* to do that, you need something for the seeds to fall into, and you need some way to hang it under them.

* oh, and you have to take the lid off the jar -- but the mouse can't really reach the lid.

I can't combine ruberbands and the lid of the pen together.! How can I do it???????

Yaki: Click 'n' drag OK?!!

Yaki: Click on the rubberbands and drag them to the lid of the pen.

Any help?? I can't get the red string!!!
