Insects Guide
Some insects require extra
effort to trap.
- Clusterfly: Requires a
strong web for capture.
- Dragonfly: Can escape your
web if they are not stunned first. Jump at them and tackle them into your web
to stun them long enough to eat. If you leave them on the web too long, they
will escape. You can keep jump-tackling a dragonfly to move it across a room if
desired.
- Fire Ant: They are
aggressive, and will charge you when spotted. A fire ant hit will will reduce
your silk total. To capture them, jump at them before they see you, or after
they miss an attack.
- Flying Ant: Almost always
appear in overhead levels. When approached, they will fly to a different
location. They can be captured by tackling them just after they land. Follow
them as they fly away, then jump on them as soon as they land again.
- Gnat: Cannot be trapped in
webs. Tackle them in mid-air.
- Grasshoppers and Crickets:
Will hop away when you get too close. Guide them towards your web by walking
and jumping at them. They can also be juggled by jumping into them. To capture
one into a web placed high, jump into it from below to knock it directly
upward.
- Honey Bee: Similar to
hornets, except they must be hit twice. Start by tackling them to knock them
out of the air. They will become stunned and fall down. Jump on them to eat
them.
- Hornet: Cannot be trapped by
webs and must be tackled in mid-air. You will then fall with it until you hit a
surface, where it can be eaten.
- House Fly: Cannot be caught
in webs. They must be tackled when stationary on a surface.
- Inchworm: Hang from silk
threads during rain and build a web beneath them. Then, jump through their threads
to cut them. The inchworms will fall into your web. You cannot trap an inchworm
while it is on its own thread, and they will not become trapped if they crawl
into your web. They must fall onto a web to become stuck.
- Junebug: They are extremely
bouncy. You can knock them into webs and each other by jumping at them.
- Ladybug: Will not fly into
your web unless another bug is already trapped there. Use another insect to
bait them. When a ladybug investigates, eat both of them. When a ladybug is
interested, it will hover with its wings open, facing the bait.
- Mosquito: Mosquitoes are
very scared when you get close. Build a web, then herd mosquitoes into it. Move
slowly toward the mosquitoes. Do not jump at them or they may fly in the wrong
direction.
- Red Hornet: They are
aggressive. Captured by dodging their attacks then tackling them when a
question mark appears over their head. Tackling them at other times will result
in a loss of silk.
- Scorpionfly: Cannot harm you
but can damage your webs. They can only be captured with strong webs. Consider
capturing them first or avoid their flight path.
- Snakefly: Will not fly into
existing webs, even if spun in their flight path. Create a web around them as
they fly by.
Strong webs
"Strong webs" are
large webs that are capable of capturing larger insects, such as scorpionflies.
To make them, try making webs with obtuse angles to get a larger area.
Level Clear Message
The "Level Clear"
message indicates that all the insects on that stage have been eaten. This will
always appear with the portal opening or afterwards. It is not possible to run
out of insects to eat and not score enough to open the portal.
Weather Guide
- Tip 1: When a level is
selected on the Estate Map, a grid with the four possible weather conditions
(clear day, rainy day, clear night, rainy night) will appear. If the icon is a
minus sign, it indicates that you have not completed that level under that
particular weather condition. If the icon is a checkmark, it indicates that you
have completed the level under that weather condition and have also found all
available secrets or clues. If the icon is a question mark under a magnifying
glass, it indicaes you have completed the level under that weather condition
but have not found all the secrets or clues.
- Tip 2: Sometimes a level
will be marked with a question mark on multiple weather conditions. This
indicates that a secret or clue is undiscovered that can be found in any of
those conditions; or there are multiple secrets to be found in each weather
condition. If it was the first possibility, playing the level under any
condition and finding the missing secret or clue will change all icons to a
checkmark. If it was the second possibility, getting one checkmark will not
change the others. You will have to replay during that weather condition. Keep
in mind that certain secrets can only be discovered during particular phases of
the moon. If you are having difficulty finding a secret, try again during a
different moon phase.
- Tip 3: Disable the location
services option when waiting for rain. The in-game "weather machine"
can only be used to change either the time or weather for a short period of
time with every phase of the moon. When waiting for rain between weather
machine uses, disable location services from "Advanced Settings"
menu, exit the game, then start it again. This will change the weather to
"Blackbird Estate" which may be different than your current local
weather.
Secrets and puzzle
solutions
Secrets are not used to solve
a puzzle. Instead, they can provide hints to find clues or puzzle solutions, or
give additional information about the events at Blackbird Estate. Secrets are
not saved anywhere.
In-Game Clues
- Tip 1: Clues are different
than secrets. Clues are used to solve Mysteries, which in turn unlock
buildings. When you find a clue, the game will identify it as such and save a
snapshot of it under the "Mysteries" tab in the menu. Clues may
contain passcodes or other information that must be used later.
- Tip 2: You do not always
have to find all the clues to solve a Mystery. Most Mysteries have a single
Puzzle Object, which is the clue that you actually have to interact with to
solve the Mystery. Returning to find clues after solving the Mystery will still
trigger a notification and add them to your clue board.
- Tip 3: If you find a clue
then exit the level, the clue will still be added to the clue board. However,
you will not get a checkmark on a level, even if all of its secrets and clues
are found, until you actually finish the level by eating insects.
- Tip 4: Most clues are found
within the building which Mystery they help to solve. However if you find a
clue and the "clues found" total on your current Mystery does not
increase, it indicates that the clue is used for a Mystery in a different
building. In
In-Game Portals
- Tip 1: Portals will open
based on your score, and not the number of insects eaten. To complete a level
and move to the next stage through portal, you must pass a minimum score. If
you get a high score multiplier, you can eat fewer insects and still open the
portal.
- Tip 2: Score portals will
only open the next level in a building. In order to move to a new building, you
must solve a Mystery. Note that individual levels are the rooms you play in,
while buildings are groups of levels in the same general area. After a portal
is opened, you can move to the next level within the building. After completing
all levels in a particular building, the next building will be revealed.
However you can only access stages in that next building if you have solved the
related Mystery.
