  • omg you're a life saver...thanks a lot!

  • Am I the only one who flipped the robot off for a good 30 seconds after winning?

  • аз това го наредих от първия път натам несам играл но щом това е най-трудното ..

  • Ok...the "pattern above" doesn't make sense

  • @MrSilverductapemedia it's more of a Zen thing. The circles are the nuts or vice versa, just try to move each time making yer board look like hers.

  • I was on the verge of destroying all of existence. Thank you for giving me a winning strategy.

  • Something really cool/odd happened to me. The first time I played I defeated him easy and simple, the second time I played for, at least... 70 times, until the game itself kinda bugged... let me explain... that fucking robot beat me again, but even when he got seven pieces in line the game wouldn't finish, then I made my move and I won, strange thing... thanks to that I played the whole game, and I loved it ^^

  • i've played this game several times. sometimes i beat him, and sometimes i get soooo stuck, it's hard to know what to do. it's nice to have a consistent strategy.

  • @bluebanshee3 true!

  • thanks!!!!!!

  • THANK YOU MAN so close go crazy  :D

  • Thank you! Worked first time, although he started playing upside down and I had to mirror your moves.

  • THANK YOU!!!!

  • Thanks man I tried your exact moves like 5 times and the 6th I made it !! Fuck You ROBOT, FUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

  • I got 5 in a row but now I don't remember what I needed the pieces for any more...

  • @GullmanRollger666 yhe saxofone dude

  • thank u dudeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........

  • Thanks mate it worked on the third time

  • RAWR! THAT ROBOT PIECE OF SHIT! Im wortless at 5 in a row soo im getting assfucked......

  • It was difficult at start but the trick is to play offensive and have the lead

  • After pulling my hair out from frustration for 2 hours, i finally followed your strategy exactly how it is in the video and it worked first try. thank you for saving me from throwing my computer against the wall.

  • I followed your moves EXACTLY the first time and I beat him and saved the game. I collected the bolts and flypaper and decided to play a second game, and a third. I couldn't win. Get it right the first time or you are screwed.

  • FUCK!!!AGREE!!!!!!

  • It may be just my idea but the more times you play the game i think the more difficult it gets. If you don't beat it in the first tries it becomes impossible. Every single time i m getting 4 in a row, the computer blocks the 5th place. EVERY FUCKING SINGLE TIME. How can you beat that? The way the robot places the pieces is entirely different from what i see in your video.

  • Hey man, i don't really understand your pattern, can you phrase it more exact terms? I am tired of this FUCKING game, i have tried tens of times and can't fucking beat it! What you re saying is not valid, i have repeatedly stoped the robot from making more than 4 in a row, but that is not the point is it? It is to make 5 yourself. In fact several times i have used the whole box just preventing the opponent from making a 5. The box runs out of places and that means the opponent still wins.

  • I used your pattern and I won! Thank you so much!!!

  • great!!you make me win at this(bar)

  • I noticed a bug in this game, well I'm not sure if its a bug, but if you manage to get 6 in a row it doesn't count as a win.

  • @WoodenToaster That happened to me too. I was SO frigging angry!!

  • I played him a bunch of times, seems most of the time the bastard always blocks you no matter what, I filled the board a bunch of times (and even being a tie he still laughs the bastard!) but the 2 times I beat him seems like he isn't paying that much attention and that's how I won...

  • omfg it worked, thank you so much ! ! ! ! !

  • don't know if i did it right but it worked! xD

  • FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • First time I played this, I found this to be really simple, but now it's like the game knows what I did last time and is now thinking "fuck you, I can win every time, I'll just block you whenever you get 3 or 4 and form 5 when you are still trying to block my pieces"

  • I'm sorry, I memorized the pattern and watched the video about 50 times, but I can't seem to understand how the pattern is applied. I don't see any resemblence between it and the video. Can someone explain it?

  • thank you, that really helped me

  • If you guys wanna cheat like hell (like I did cause this game is impossible), I went to here - htt p://ww w.5stone.net/en/topg.html and chose myself as the black player, then I just put in the robot guy's moves as mine and then copied the game's computer moves to machinarium and won :P did it first time! :D

  • Thank you, this strategy worked perfectly and I sucked at this puzzle.

  • I've done this 2 times on my own RANDOM tactic.. but then i tried to play 3rd time - i cannot win... (after uninstaling game.. that's the reason i had to play one more time.. ) but your strategy works. thanks

  • Thank you so fucking much!

  • Thank you!!!!!!

  • i had to really study this, and finally I got it to work. You have to keep those gaps and when you have to choice to block to the outside or inside of the diamond shape you are making, block to the inside. if you can get your shape to the :15 mark, yoru almost done.

  • omg thank u so much <33333

  • All that messing around to get the saxophone keys and the robot doesnt even press them when he plays!

  • Thank you so much for this. I was stuck for bloody ages on this puzzle, and soon as I tried your strategy I got him in the third try. Thanks!

  • WOW, eat my shorts machinarium

  • omg thx! GOD BLESS YOU

  • in your face stupid robot!!!!! :D

  • Man this game is too intense. Fuck you amanita, I'm never buying another one of your shitty games.

  • Thank you

  • It is not working. I believe this was the part of a whole film when he just got lucky. I can't bit that robot and now, that drives me nuts. Because of that, I don't think that game is that awesome. I loose patience and think I will throw this game into garbage.

  • @LITTLEFRENCHFRY1 come on, it wasn't that hard. After using that technique I beat him in the 3rd try.

  • thumbs up if you just clicked randomly and hoped you got 5 in a row by luck.

  • what do you mean by o_o_o_o_o? I don't understand...

  • oh thanks man, it has lasted one whole week to beat him xD

  • how did you do to inundate the room without the 5 pieces?!

  • lol cheaters, I did it with pure skill, and no cheat via YouTube. Awsome game btw. Really beautiful and fun! Sequel omg!!

  • Are the circles ment to be the things we are playing with?

  • THANK YOU!! That puzzle has been driving me absolutely NUTS and now I have it solved :3

  • It's fuckin stupiDD!! at times he doesn't take it wen it's 6 in a row!!

    Straight or diagonal he takes it or sometimes forgets that he's won!! Bullshit! I din have lunch coz of dis stupid game!!

  • I actually made it in 15 minutes the first time and 5 minutes in second. On my own strategy of course :)

    The trick is you must not play his game, he must play yours. He starts so i put my first screw a couple of blocks away and trying to make a box of my own screws.

    So people try to make a 3x3 box first, not a 5 screw line. Its not 100% efficient but the other guy will f**k up something a lot faster :)

  • fucking broken.

  • i did it myself, i tried more than 50 times (: , i win in 2 weeks!

  • I remember the very first time I played him, I beat him. I was like, "Ah, easy shit."

    Then I played it again to try to reproduce my success.

    I fucking played like 50 times until I beat him again.

    Awesome game.

  • i tried your pattern and the evil son of a bitch always beats me

  • thx

  • This is so annoying.

    I can't beat that thing.

  • Omg thank you thank you a million kisses to you this worked ! <3<3

  • @pakleglia I used to feel the same way about games and still do because you and I probably have some sort of OCD and/or perfectionism. You can resolve that experience by using mods that take out those stupid mini-games to prevent it from marring the overall gaming experience.

    You might say that you don't want to change what the game designer/s intended, but game designers are fallible and gaming appeal is subjective. Make and change the game into what you would want to play. Good luck!

  • thanks friend helped me to win that damn robot mocking

  • thx dude for help

  • is this game long i might buy it i love the whole monkey island type games

  • oh my god, thankyou so much... ive been trying and filing to win this for hours, now i can finally move on with my life!

  • it worked I was stuck here for a long time. Thank you

  • Really frustating. Your suggested pattern didn't work me, "he" learns and copies your movements, preventing you from following with the pattern...

    What I did (after many atempts) was:

    - placing pieces away from the oponent's but leaving no room for "him" to form 5-pieces rows, and trying that one piece forms two 4-pieces rows...

  • where u get this game?

  • Its just f*in impossible. He always wins. No way. Such things schludnt be in a game that is about puzzles!

    Just unfair.

  • i used to play stuff like this until i realized tictactoe was played wit only 9 fields XD

  • Thank you so much for this video. I really detest 5 in a row with every fiber of my body and was ready to give up on the whole game when it came, but thanks to you I can continue.

  • Thanks a lot! It really helped me! (:

  • i hate that motherf**in robot...... i tried your O_O_O

    _O_O_

    O_O_O_ thingo but he always blocks me ^ __ _______ here... evil...... when i watched the video, he starts in a different place. Should I do the same moves but in the different position? thanks.

  • Don't try to copy my exact moves, just keep following the pattern and the rest of my explanation. If you still can't beat him, you must be doing something wrong.

  • @Faax4eva Lol dude you shouldnt play games like this if you're that dumb, no doubt it was hard but I still beat him even tho it took me like 6 or 7 times

  • I just completed it using the hint tactics after about 30 tries and he just threw all the pieces everywhere without me getting them for the saxophone man WTF am about to throw something at the computer jfc D:

  • There are numerous ways to beat this. The opponent will always block you whenever you get three in a row, so just make sure you get three in a row in two different places at once.

  • I beat this guy finally! But beating him again just for fun is next to impossible. The computer is just too good for me I wish they programed a difficulty setting for this game.

  • Finally! Bastard! haha (thx)

  • It took me forever to recognise the pattern he was using, even then I still hadn't figured out how to solve it. Cheers

  • OMG wait! It did finally work, just had to try it again about 10 times. Thank you! My toaster will live to see another day.

  • I don't usually use foul language in my comments. However, under the circumstances... FUCK.

    This doesn't work for me, I've restarted several times with the starting piece in the exact same position, but somehow that son of a clanking bitch works its way around my every move. I am also using your pattern. Aah well. Maybe I have a more damned up version.

  • I am so thank you. it became me crazy. i love you.

  • omg i was stuck here forever!!! thanks a lot!

  • Thanks!

  • YOU ARE A GOD!! THANK YOU!

  • thank you^^

  • Way to figure it out! Thanks!

  • Thanks. Thought it was impossible. <3

  • LMAO! Thanks a lot for the Video man. Did you write the guide too? Lol! TYVM

  • jesus christ thanks a lot for the tip. i still think i won by luck but this video helped big time!

  • MUCHAS GRACIAS AMIGO!!!!

  • ohh man....that pissed me off!

    THANK YOU!

  • THANKS.

    i still hate that robot.

  • fuck this fucking game! THANK YOU!

  • I won him by myself one time and i used the pieces to give it to one of the musicians (the one who plays the saxophone) but when i beat him again and he hits the table the pieces fly out and disapear :(

  • gracias

  • wow that is hard! thanks so much, I only managed to beat him once by myself then my computer crashed, hours wasted and I had no idea how to do it. I never knew a simple board game could be so incredibly difficult!!!! work perfect thanks heaps!!!!

  • I love this game so much. I couldn't beat it the first time with only my briaaaaanz, so I had to use the book. I just beat it a second time with using the book only once, and I'm about to go at it again with no book.

  • THANK YOU

  • Thank you thank you! I started to think it was just a minigame that was inconsequential to the game... after being stuck truly and fully I decided to take a peek at a walkthrough which thankfully didn't go into detail explaining how to win - simply a link to this video. So THANK YOU! ^_^

  • Omg it worked!! Thanks a lot for this !! ^.^I spent HOURS trying to beat that fucker XD!!

  • and it's funny, the first real challenge where you can't use the book or youtube, and everyone is complaining instead of using their own brains..

  • it works, it's not only about the pattern - it's about the pattern AND the right amount of space on all sides

  • My god, the game was going just dandy before this bulshit of a board game.

    And I could almost swear he beat quite a few times putting together only four pieces in a row, but I'll never know because the board disappears the very moment he defeats you.

    How the FUCK am I suppose to learn this piece of shit tic-tac-toe if I can't even be sure of why he defeated me!?

  • Thank you so much!

  • Def not working

  • worked! Thanks for this!

  • it's a simple cross. I wonder why I didn't come up with such a simple idea..

  • ty very much dude...

    help me a lot..

  • I'm glad I helped all of you, and I appreciate every comment.

  • what is the software you used to do the video

  • I used Snagit 9

  • This was such a turn-off in the game. Thank you : )

  • Think I got the latest version because he's smarter now :/

    I keep playing the complete board full, he counters every move lol :p

  • Thanks, i thought it was impossible lol!

  • Man, you made me a great favor!! I owe you a beer!!

  • The latest patch fixes this problem.

  • @Flashed6 "fixes the problem" of an annoying minigame?

  • I like the game, just not the opponent. :D

  • ah lol

  • Yeah, spent at least an hour and a half solid on this worthless minigame, was about to throw my mouse across the room a couple of times. Googled "Machinarium bullshit 5 in a row" and found this video. Took a couple of tries to get everything in position and I had to correct for the computer going the other way once or twice, but yes, this solution works.

    THANK YOU!

  • LOL so i was trying this, and if he didn't start in the same spot as the video, i'd randomly click till he won and try again.. during a frenzy of random clicks, i got 5 in a row.. half watching tv i was like "Woah, he's not laughing at me this time, he's angry!" Cool video, a solution to a PAIN IN THE ASS PUZZLE.

  • man, you're good!! thanks, bud. saved me lots of time. =) you're the best!!

  • it works but you must restart the game till you get thi sequence, not exactly but worked similar to me

  • doesn't work for me. I beat this game last week, now I'm playing a second time. the first time I beat him accidently, this time I am losing the 23rd time.

  • You saved me. I just couldn't win, tried maybe 50 times. Thank you, your a lifesaver!

  • Thanks a lot, works wonders. Realy.

    Ok, people. This video is great. The point is, restart the game untill the enemy puts his bolt at the same square as in the video (that is coordinates 6,6), and then follow the video's players moves as they show. Again, works wonders.

  • okay, it doesn't have to be the same square, you can play this game ( the one in the clip)

    in various parts of the board, turned, or even flipped

  • not working

  • The computer will usually put a bolt in between 2 of your nuts(pervert :P) and will also usually put a bolt in front of a path of three of your nuts to block it. With that information, try to predict where the computer will put it.

    Try to find EVERY connection with his bolts. Whenever he makes a path of three, block it IMMEDIATELY.

    Hope these tips help, if he makes different pattern.

  • thnx ...it worked , YOU MY HERO xD

  • thanks bud!

  • This one doesn't work for me either.

    BUT if you follow the general diagonal pattern (as given in the integrated hint book), it's much easier to score.

  • this aint work anymore :(

  • I dunno why but it NEVER goes down like the video and I've had it set up with the exact same squares!! It always starts to vary after 6 nuts. >:-( Can't get past this one stupid spot on the game!!!

  • thanks a lot

  • Thank you so much! Starting to get tired of the mean laughter every time he beats me ..

  • my friend...I LOVE YOU :D

  • life saver! i swear i would have killed that robot! @_@

  • You my friend are a god damn life saver! Praise 'oriyanmarzipan'!!!

  • thanks a lot.

  • finally got it thanks for this video! life saver!

  • computer always sticks one in the middle for me if I put them one space apart... how is this possible?

  • The AI does a different pattern even when it starts in the same position as in the video. I've been trying this shit for an hour now and getting very frustrated.

  • @Hurgledurf

    Please don't say that. This video is the only thing keeping me sane at this point.

    I just can't beat that frickin' robot!

  • thanks for the tip , my hands are burning for hit my table [+nervous]

  • Thank goodness for this. I was going insane!

  • FINALLLYYYYY!!!!!!! Thank you SOOO much. I beat the game the first time, and the first time I did this I got lucky after several tries. Than I start a brand new game all over, and I never got it, I sadly spent effin DAYS on this damn game trying to get it, YOUR A LIFE SAVER.

  • Thanks for that mister. Either I'm pretty dim or it's one of the most appaling game design screwups I've ever seen. Weird, neither of Samorost games had such hopelessly grindy parts.

  • yeah and it's also impossible :( well thx god there be guides

  • if the ai is using a different pattern...start by the left not by the right of his first .and dont put the 4th one 2 case at right but 2 case at left,and keep blocking him..i made it like that with the same technic that the video is using...good luck;)

  • works great. even if the starting piece isn't in the same spot.

    thank you very much. i was going to become really frustrated about this! =)

  • Thanks oriyanmarzipan, it worked! I was frustrated before with that puzzle.

  • Thx Man

    u r so cool

  • You the man!

  • Doesn't work soz

  • Dosen't work for me looks like AI is using a diffrent pattern for me

  • He's always blocking me on the left wich by this vid he shouldn't and I always loose using thae pattern form the vid.

  • Thanks, worked perfectly! And you people who doesn't get it to work, you have to make sure the robot starts in the exact same position as in the video, or he will choose other moves! (duh!)

  • thanks for the help. That robot is ridiculous at this game and I'm not a fan!

  • you. are. my. hero....!

  • This part of the game....has made the game NOT be worth it's 20 USD. This strat doesn't work for me, ever.

  • @rampant: it actually does work! i kept switching between the vid and the game, step by step. my screen looked slightly diff from the one here, but it did work on the first try
