How to Free the Man's Hand from the Sewer Drain
Now, head inside the bar on the east side of town. There's a bike in front of it with some keys in the basket. Walk over to the right side of the bar and then hop into the sink. Slap all the kegs to get them going, then go inside the loose tube in the corner. Pop all the bubbles and swim upwards to return to the main bar area.
You will end up in a glass cup, so just press the slap button to break out. Leave the bar and go to the west side of town to visit Mother Megg's Buttery Goods.

Getting the Spanner for the Mechanic

Leave the shop and head through the alley on the side.
Keep walking to the right, past the weird hotdog guy, climb the ladder, hop up the pole, and enter the chimney atop the house. The chimney sweep will push you down into the home.

A man will appear in a gap in the fence to the right. Go ahead and enter the space to find yourself in a new area. Walk to the right, hopping over various pieces of junk until you reach a shack's roof. You'll see a tiny crack. Jump on it until it breaks.

You will end up in the main area near the mayor's office again. Now, go back into the hole where the man's hand was stuck in. Go through the pipes again, and you'll end up back at the shop where the mechanic is.
Speak to him, and he'll thank you for returning his spanner; however, he needs his screwdriver now.
Getting the Screwdriver
Head to the east to enter the Price Shaggers store once again. The cashier wants you to fetch some rat poison to help clean the store of the rodents. Climb the shelves and push the box of rat poison off the shelf. Climb the shelves again and enter the attic by climbing on top of the rubble on the top shelf.

When you're in the cardboard box area with the rats, head through the "door" on the right. Keep going right, then slap the wall with the tape to break through. You'll get to a weird altar room with a ball of cheese. Push it to the left.
Head back to the left side of the area, and the rat will eat the cheese, allowing you to enter the room to the far left. This will bring you to Mice Shaggers, a store meant just for the rats. Go to the shelf behind the rodent cashier to find the screwdriver.

You need to hop on the floor behind the cashier a few times to break through the floor, causing the screwdriver to fall. This will bring you back to the main store, and the mechanic will show up to claim his trusty tool.
Return to Marge's Chippo to pay a visit to the mechanic again. But, of course, he's missing yet another tool: his hammer.
How to Get the Hammer

Opinion: Indie Games Will Take Over The Industry
With many AAA studios being closed or absorbed by publishers, one begins to wonder: Where is this going? What's the bigger picture? The truth might sound harsh, but the game industry as we know it is agonizing. The death of the third-gen powered AAA studios is probably going to encourage growth for many Indie studios, which will focus on smaller-scope games, with significant content, and a high emphasis on restoring the "bringing the fun with cool gameplay" methodologies. It started with games like Ori and the Blind Forest, or Hades, where the scope of the game adjusts to a smaller budget, but the results are clearly high quality.
He'll jump over the big blue trash bin. Slap the bin, and a man will pop out of it, causing the nearby trash cans to fall over. You can now climb on the trash cans to get on the stepladder.
Platform your way up until you reach a windowsill with a can of beans. Push the beans off the edge.
This will unlock the 'Beans are on the Windowsill' trophy/achievement.

Return to the floor and walk into the trash bin, following the trail of beans. You'll find a man sitting on a toilet eating the beans, and he wants you to gather his seagulls. If you leave his place, the first seagull will be outside the trash bin. Smack it, and it'll fly away. Now, walk left to return to the town area and find five more seagulls. Their locations will be in the image gallery below:
Once you gather the birds, head back into the alley and go into the bean man's trash house.

He'll open a secret passage for you next to his toilet. Go through the door and hop into the basement door to return to the keg area within the bar. Enter the loose nozzle again to get sucked into it. Leave the bar and head west to Nick's Bricks.
If you smack the wall, it'll unlock the 'Everything Must Go' trophy/achievement.
Next, go back into the hole. Go through the pipes. Leave the shop. Go through the alleyway next to Price Shaggers and make your way back to the rooftop to once again mess up the man's home with dirt. (You should be familiar with this route by now).
✕ Remove Ads
Hop out the window, and you'll need to time your jumps on a bag of fertilizer while a strange couple watches from their flat.
Once you jump high enough, you'll get stuck on a clothesline. A man will knock you down on the bag of fertilizer, causing the gardener's tomato to grow.
This will unlock the 'Cream of the Crop' trophy/achievement.
You'll end up stuck in a flower pot, so just make your way down the shelves until the cop removes the watering can. Jump off the shelf, and the pot will shatter. Keep walking to the right and exit the shack to end up in the garden again.

You can enter through the gap in the fence, walk to the right, and hop into the fisherman's bait box. This will put you into the river. Swim down to find the mechanic's hammer.
Grab it and pull it up; the mechanic will randomly show up to take the hammer off your hands.
Keep walking right, enter the hole in the roof, and then, in the next area, start smacking all the flowers that have appeared.

Destroying them all will unlock the 'Green Fingers' trophy/achievement. After, head west and enter Marge's Chippo; speak to the mechanic again. He'll open a part of the fryer so that you can get inside. Just keep pressing the slap button to clear the grease.
This will cause grease to fly out of the fountain in the main town area by the mayor's office, unlocking the 'Open for Business' trophy/achievement.
Leave the shop and head east to find a kid crying while drinking tea in an apartment. The mail carrier will be standing outside, too, if you're having trouble finding it.

Jump inside the apartment. The kid will ask you to get him some milk for his drink.
How to Get Milk for the Tea
Head south from the kid's place, and you'll pass a sign that says 'Normal Milk.' Keep going south, and you'll find a cow lying on the floor. The man with the cow wants you to get some stuff from Marge's, but if you try to enter the shop from the front, you won't be able to speak to her.

Most Atmospheric Indie Games
A lot of indie games absolutely ooze atmosphere. These games nail the atmosphere better than others.
Instead, walk into the apartment to the right of the boy with the tea. The plants that were blocking the white door should now be gone. Just slap the door to open it.

Go through the path until you get up a ladder to the rooftops. Like last time, jump on the pile of trash to unclog the pipe near the man with the nightcap. Go through the pipes to reach the town area.
There's a white door by the pipe that's slightly open. Enter it, and you'll find a sick guy in bed. Jump around and slap him a little to wake him up.
For some reason, the man will have a long, stretchy arm. Follow the arm out of the apartment. There will be a man standing in the hallway outside --slap his bag of food, and the arm will continue heading outside.

Follow the cracks in the ground to the fountain and then hop into that dang hole once again.
Once you pass through the apartment with the fine china cabinet, you'll finally knock the plate down, earning you the 'The People's Princess' trophy/achievement. Keep going, and you'll end up at Marge's again. Hop into the potato sack and help her chop up the potatoes to make some french fries.
She'll give you a sack of fries to carry, but once you're outside, a bird will grab you. Move to the left, and then the bird will drop you. The hungry cow will get the fries in their mouth.

After that, you'll end up in a field. You must walk around and slap the bricks that appear. Doing this will make a special door appear in the middle of the field. This will take you to another area with a hot tub. Jump in the tub, and then you need to milk the cow (this game is very strange, alright).
Eventually, the boy with the tea will finally get the milk he wanted (maybe more than he initially wanted). Once you have control of the man again, walk to the right and go into the chimney again.
Yes, the man's house will become dirty once again (poor guy). The rest of the game will be pretty straightforward, so just follow these steps to reach the conclusion of Thank Goodness You're Here:
