Did anyone play Loom? What the hell was that game about???
yeah... Actually, I finished that game back ages ago. It wasn't bad, as simple adventure games go. It was just kind of a happy-feel-good kinda game. (Not nearly as much fun as say, Legend of Kyrandia... But I thought Loom didn't deserve as much bashing as it got.)
I only remember a few things about it now, though.
1) Watch the Loom notes when something happens. (Write down the colors) That way you can play them back again, and cause that to happen elsewhere. This is key. And sometimes you only get one chance to write down the notes.
2) The songs (note patterns) are reversable. In other words, if a 1-2-3 progression opens something, a 3-2-1 will close it. If 2-1-3 sparks a fire, 3-1-2 will put a fire out... Or freeze something... or do some other opposite.
3) The songs vary from game to game. So if you start a new game, you'll likely get different loom songs from the previous game. This also means you can't look up loom songs on-line, as they'll likely be wrong for your particular game.
