Dekigokoro
Before I go any further a couple of warnings about Dekigokoro:

1). I have a strong hunch that at some point there might be something rude hidden in the game, I haven't seen anything like that yet, but the rest of the game is just mad enough to make it a possibility. I suggest finishing the game just to make sure before letting the kids play (there is a strong likelihood that you will never do this).

2). This is one of the most infuriating games ever. It takes ages to progress and it's all too easy to get sent back to the beginning. Don't play this one if you are at all stressed already and are looking for something nice and relaxing.

Right, warnings over. Now let me say that I hate this game. So why post it? I hear you ask. Well I don't see I should be the only one with Dekigokoro inflicted upon them. Share my pain. I keep having to play "just one more go", but it's just horrible. The basic premise of the game is to drag and drop puzzle pieces to complete the jigsaw. But of course it's not just a regular puzzle. It's one where the pieces are blank. Great. Add to that the fact you get skull and cross bones penalties once in a while (I haven't worked out what you get these for but I suspect it's for taking the "logical" approach to a puzzle and doing the edges first - like I have in the pic above) and it turns into a real stinker. Then on top of that it breaks into time controlled mini games once in a while, which have no instructions, and if you loose them it undoes your puzzle and sends you back to the beginning. Arrrrrrgh!

My tips for the mini games: Drag the sumo guys to the green exit at the bottom of the screen, and match up the red & black guys with the corresponding background pics. I've worked out that much but it doesn't stop me hating it [subbed by anon].

Oh god i just wasted 15 minutes of my life... got up to the second mini game where the guys are upside down and waving their legs and had no clue. Thx Graeme, you can expect to hear from my lawyers to compensate me for those 15 minutes.

After the puzzle is completed, it turns into a point and click game. All non-english but easy to guess. walkthrough available if wanted.

I'm still not sure on half the warnings the puzzle game me. i ended up with 2 skulls and an angry guy in a barrel.

Fun but leaves you wondering what you actually accomplished

:
what is the aim in the mini game with guy in the keg?

Sometimes just clicking on the keg, seems to suffice, other times his head still goes flying and gameover....

Agree with Graeme, the mini games are a pain!

TIP: you dont need all the items, and the wrestler is interested in most of the items you hold :0)

Ok the puzzle was fine, got through that ok, but the pointnclick part is killing me. I've got 50 life points and I've picked up all the items I can find. He took the robe and looked at a picture then kicked me now I can't do anything else.

hmm i can't figure out the rest of this point and click bit. i have a black robe, bottle opener?, chair, picture and a black mask everything else he took. now what?

Comment 18, Tuesday, May 15th 2007 01:24:02 PM

Annie

:
He took the black robe and the two pictures from me and I'm still stuck with everything else. So confused...

:
I solved it!!! Hint: Make sure in the point and click room you click on the little box under the screen before you begin to see instructions on which keyboard keys make you move where. There are a few items that are on the rug and I doubt you will get them unless you know which keys to hit. Don't need a stitch of Japanese. I like when he lights the cigars........

I have all the items from the carpet, but still can't do anything with the items I have left.

So if you don't do it in the right order do you have to go all the way back to the beginning of the jigsaw? No way.

What the frickin' heck is going on here?!?! I've tried the dang puzzle about thirty times and it keeps re-setting. Irritating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hand-stand mini-game with the handstand guys in red and black pants is easy. You put the red pants dudes in the red boxes and the black in the black.

The mini-game with the guys doing handstands with the picture of some dude with his mouth hanging open in the background is stupid and I can't figure it out! Where do I put the handstand dudes? It doesn't make sense!!!!

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

unless something dramatic has happened to the english language it's LOSE that is the opposite of win.

LOOSE on the other hand is the opposite of tight

nice game, reminds me of some weird japanese party game i played a few times on gamecube, random sudden but simple

time 1260.65 :p

Hiddenfaceinthecrowd

:
ok so I figured out the puzzle that has the guys waving their legs upside down
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Just drag them to the green "door" that is just under the box they are in
The one with the head in the barrel I thought I had it but I guess not since last 2 times the head has exploded from the barrel. To help make the puzzle itself a little easier
HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
Try sorting the pieces into similar shapes I.E. put all the three holed one together and two holes together etc. I went a step further and separated each group into the direction the little sticky outy parts went in. makes it easier to find what you are looking for when filling it in.

Yeah Delrio, Sumbody needs to learn Graeme more gooder english.

woot, finished! i didn't get very far the first few tries.... i love how with every piece you put down you're just praying you don't hear that DEEDLE DEE DEEDLE guitar riff of the minigames, lol. This game is soooo japanese and spastic and awesome and i hated it but loved it at the same time.

:
The "standing on their head dudes" have to be dragged to the green square under the screen.

I seemed to get hearts when I was able to place pieces into the puzzle in rapid succession.

I still have no idea what makes the head in the barrel show up. Any ideas???

...oh, and did anyone figure out why we get death flags???

Is it me or does the jigsaw not make an noise to let you know you have slotted in the right piece or am I going deaf?

that guy in the end (when you finish the point & click and insert the last puzzle piece) is creepy looking *A*;;...

tooked me one reset to finish everything, whew~
i thought, on the red and black mini-game that i was going to die when it reached 0 but then weirdly, it went back to 10. glitch, perhaps? >:

the naked wrestler is so cute btw XDD especially what he said when he tooked the cigar <33

It is not supposed to be difficult, because the Japanese text explains what you are supposed to do...
For men on their heads

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
drag them to the emergency exit


The man is egashira 2:50 (ega-chan), he's an annoying Japanese comedian. Everybody hates him.
