It’s finally happened! Somebody has written a full English language walkthrough for Captain Rainbow, which should come as quite a relief to those of us who got stuck on the more text-heavy puzzles. The guide was written by the same chap who wrote the GiFTPIA walkthrough. So you know you’re in good hands.

As is becoming common these days, I’ve completely neglected this blog as real life gets in the way and countless Lovedelic happenings come and go. Here’s everything you should be aware of, that I can remember.
NEWTONICA2
The big news of course, is that Route24 has released Newtonica2 on iPhone for the bargain price of just 59 [...]

Anyone currently playing Captain Rainbow, discuss your progress; ask for advice; help others using the comments below.
It’s not ideal but I figured this would be a simpler solution than starting a whole forum that only 3 people will use
Credit where it’s due

Not that we needed any confirmation but the credits in the Captain Rainbow manual finally confirm that skip is indeed the developer of the game. What’s more it says that recent skip deserters Kenichi Nishi and hikarin were involved in development. They were responsible for the scenario and character design/map design respectively.
What’s strange is that [...]
It’s here!

My copy of Captain Rainbow arrived today and I managed to find a spare hour to play it this evening. I can’t say if it’s as brilliant as skip’s previous work just yet as I’m just settling in to the game but I’ve had quite a bit of fun exploring and messing around with Captain [...]
Yep, it’s doomed

After spending a week in Japan this month I came back convinced that Captain Rainbow’s retail success was doomed. And if the first weekend sales, below, are anything to go by then I’m probably right.
* Afrika (PS3, Sony) – 20,000
* Fate/Tiger Colosseum (PSP, Capcom) – 20,000
* Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3, EA) – 11,000
* Too Human [...]
Space Hunter Drake Redcrest reporting for duty

There have been a few updates on the offcial Captain Rainbow website this week, all very interesting, but the best news is surely that Chibi-Robo’s very own superhero Drake Redcrest will appear in the game. Drake was a great character in the first Chibi-Robo; a sort of Buzz Lightyear parody with some interesting character flaws [...]

Even though I knew both of these games were on sale it took the ever-sharp Eegra to actually bring the fact to the front of my increasingly addled mind. Check out their site for a wonderful illustration that celebrates the two games.
Will you be buying either of them? I have a copy of Captain Rainbow [...]
Captain Rainbow doomed?

If you’re wondering why there hasn’t been a new post in a while it’s because I’ve been in Osaka on a business trip all week. While I was there I found time to check out the games shops in Den Den Town, which is Osaka’s version of Akihabara – a Mecca for retro game fans.
