ClickPLAY 3
Point-and-click puzzles are some of the most popular games featured here at JIG, and nobody does these types of games better than Tom Vencel for NinjaDoodle. Now he's back with a third installment of the popular ClickPLAY series, imaginatively titled... ClickPLAY 3. As always, in each level, all you have to do is click the triangular Play button. And, as always, that button is going to be quite hidden, and uncovering it will require a hugely entertaining number of clicks.

Watch closely, the holes around the center will be numbered when you first enter the scene, but they will fade fast.

The easiest way to manipulate them is to pick them up either by the very top or bottom,
-
Once the arrow forms click on it. (5 clicks if you have good coordination)

Keep hitting until the floor is covered with the small balls. One of the balls after that will be the arrow.

Click on the arrow. (2 clicks, presuming you have a good hold on the first ball and don't drop it)
Scene 16 (Stack Em)
-
Click on the top left of the pipe and a bunch of squares will fall down.

The object is to stack them in the right side of the pipe until enough have fallen down to reveal the arrow.

The easiest way is to drag the first square all the way to the right.
-
Grab a second square and drag it to the right. Grab the first one and toss it upwards, then drag the second one underneath.
-
Keep stacking until they reach the top of the right pipe. Keep grabbing and dragging squares to the right until the arrow appears.
-
Click the arrow. (22 clicks, your mileage may vary widely)
Scene 17 (Arrow)
-
This is an arrow maze. Arrows with a single line mean to move in that direction once. Arrows with double lines mean to move in that direction twice.
-
Figure out the first arrow, then click on it. Move to the next arrow in the sequence, then click on that.
-
Eventually you will get to the question mark arrow in the center, which will become the play arrow.
-
The solution to this is different each time you play! The screenshot shown here is just an example so you can see how it is done.
-
Click the arrow. (16 clicks if you start in the right place)
Scene 18 (Who Nose?)

Scene 19 (In the Dark)
-
You can only see a bit of the scene at a time, highlighted by the circle controlled by your cursor.

Sweep the area and you will find four buttons, upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right.
-
To the right and above the button on the upper right you will see a drawing of a rectangle with a white dot in the lower left.
-
There are four rectangles around the outsides of the buttons. Each one shows what a button should be set at.
-
The buttons should be set as follows: upper left vertical line (up and down line, three clicks); upper right black (two clicks); lower right horizontal line (side to side line, it should already be on that setting); and lower left white (one click).
-
When the buttons are set correctly the question mark in the center becomes the arrow.
-
Click on the arrow. (7 clicks)
Scene 20 (Good Luck)
-
The object is to move the truck to the right of the scene without dropping any of the boxes.
-
However, there is a countdown, you only have 7 seconds.
-
Click and hold to make the truck move, but if it moves too fast the boxes will drop off and you will have to restart.
-
Click and release a couple of times to get the truck all the way to the right and out of the scene.
-
The truck will come back with the arrow. Click on the arrow. (mileage may vary widely, I managed it in 4 or 5 clicks)
Scene 21 (Gnomies)
Thanks to JiG reader Slanzinger for the tip!
-
Mouse over each gnome in turn.
-
The gnome will blink between 1 and 7 times - note down how many times each blinks.

-
The object is to make the pictures spell out "play" with their first letters.
-
Click to open a door and a symbol will appear. Click to close the door. Click to open the door and another symbol will appear.
-
The first door should be a pear (7 clicks until a pear appears in the open door).
-
The second door should be a ladder (3 clicks).
-
The third door should be an apple (1 click).
-
The fourth door should be a ying-yang symbol (5 clicks).

Once "play" is spelled out you will automatically go to the next scene. (16 clicks in all).
Scene 23 (Big Bite)
-
The little guy is fishing.
-
Watch his rod. It will dip a little as he gets a nibble.
-
Wait until it dips deeply (about the third time in the sequence) then click and he will bring up the arrow.
-
Click on the arrow quickly. (2 clicks if you have good reflexes)
Scene 24 (Fling It!)
-
The object is to get rid of all of the boxes at the right of the screen.
-
The pipe on the left will dispense bombs, but they will explode the minute they hit the floor.
-
The platform below the pipe is a lever, you can click and drag it at either end.
-
Click on the pipe to drop a bomb and quickly click and drag the right side of the lever to toss the bomb to the right.
-
When all of the boxes are gone the arrow will appear.

@grinnyp: A suggested change to your walkthrough:
Scene 21:
Mouse over each gnome in turn
The gnome will blink between 1 and 7 times - note down how many times each blinks
Click on the gnomes in order of increasing numbers of blinks
The gnomes will disappear as you click them; once all gnomes are gone the play arrow will appear
Click on the arrow.
7 clicks if you pick out the sequence correctly
Comment on it spoilered out for good measure too:
'Course, I started on the guessing route for it as well; thankfully there's always a system to these things. Goodness though I needed the help of your walkthrough for 22, I never would have worked that out solo...
Ended up with bucket >_> no idea how many actual clicks - it was the last level and scene 12 that really got me, could not for the life of me work out why the button wasn't triggering - it's just that I had it all rotated the wrong way...
Thanks for the tip! I'll update the walkthrough accordingly - [Mike]
Lots and lots of glitches for me. I cleared my cache but it didn't help. After restarting a gazillion times I gave up, it's not worth it.
(By the way, I disagree with the claim that no one is better at clicky puzzles - I think that both Kagi Nochi Tobira and Hoshi Saga are better than Clickplay. More challenging, less annoying, less buggy. But that's just me.)
@vederblich For level 20:
Like you, I'm definitely not getting a countdown timer, just a click limit of 7 clicks. I can't pass it because of this. There's no way the boxes don't topple over when the truck picks up speed to travel the required distance. Is this a glitch? I've played up to that point twice and both times it was a click limit.
Enjoyed it a lot, until the Fling It level. The lever got stuck for me, and so I checked the comments here to find out that it's happened for quite a few others. Apparently Ninjadoodle's fix did not do the trick, at least for me and several others. Very frustrating! And too bad too--I was enjoying the game. Really love the music, and the levels are fun, funny, and creative.
I figured I would give it another try today. This time, the final level worked for me. I think the bug maybe has something to do with clicking and holding and then dragging the mouse off screen before letting go of the mouse button. I came up with a similar problem on the windmill level--I tried spinning the windmills very quickly and ended up letting go of the mouse button off screen, and after that the windmills would hardly budge, just like the paddle on the Fling It level.
Hi Guys!
Ryan! Thank you for explaining the bug that you are experiencing.
I've figured out that the problem is caused by the way the game is embedded into the html page.
If the game is embedded as transparent and you drag outside the window holding the button down - the problem occurs.
I will see what I can do about this.
Level 24 (Fling It!) glitch fix:
Ok guys, I've found the problem that Ryan above explained and found a workaround.
As far as I can tell, the glitch is gone ... but you will need to empty your browser cache to let the new version load.
The problem was caused by a Firefox bug which doesn't register Mouse Up events outside of the flash movie.
Thank you for the bug reports! :)
What, nobody ever bothered to call these people on their "you can do L 20 in 1 click!" nonsense?
'Cause that's exactly what it is, utter nonsense. I'm very disappointed that no developers have bothered to look at this feedback, as some game authors do, and tell us HOW THE LIVING @#$@% YOU CAN POSSIBLY COMPLETE LEVEL 20.
If any of you actually did it in one click, it's got to be some sort of browser or flash exploit that not everyone can benefit from. Or you're pulling our leg for some, unknown, cruel reason.
