Can't use items on the numbers? (spoilers)

Okay, so I'm in the Stinkoman game. I want to change what level we're on, but attempting to use items or party members on the Level 1-1 text, results in the same response as clicking it without an item.
It seems like using the Alge-bros on the numbers would be the solution to this puzzle, but it's not letting me use anything on the numbers

Is this a glitch or am I missing something?

    I'm at the same place, and had the same idea.

    Anyone know how to speed up time to beat Stinkoman yet? That's along the lines of what Homestar told me. Stupid Algebros do nothin.

    I'm a-stucka. I dunno if its because I got the hints on, but Homestar said something about speeding up time, which I thought of as advancing the level.

    Yeah, I was barking up the wrong tree. I just figured out what to do, and it's nothing to do with the level number. Too bad, it would have been funny.

    I just gave you a hint in an other thread, but here it is: talk stinko about enemies, talk enemies about stinko, and you should be able to figure it out from there.

    Just to be sure you are talking about speeding up time to advance right?

    Ta da. Make that shootey guy speed up by clicking on the turtle conversation, and the fly guy needs to be more accurate (I don't remember what the conversation icon was)

    I thought we were talking about how to change the levels not how to get on the screen but thanks anyway.

    You can't change the level. You are infinitesimally stuck on level 1-1.

    I still feel like my idea could at least have warranted a "That's a great idea! But it's wrong."

    Did nobody try this combination during playtesting? :p

    No one did. And it IS a good idea, for which you deserve props.

    I had a similar idea to use something on the energy bars - you know, to kill him off - though I've forgotten exactly what it was I was trying to use. I got the same effect as with using items on the level number - Strong Bad gives the same response as if I'd clicked on it, and not even a "can't use items on that!" sort of thing.

    Actually, we DID catch this during playtesting. And I'm pretty sure we even wrote a line to cover this at some point, but occasionally in the massive whirlwind of production just before the game goes out, somethings do get overlooked. At that point our first priority is to make sure the game is actually working properly!

    Whoops! I was mistaken then.

    I tried that too - "Oh man, the enemies are just wussy level 1 enemies, we need to bust out the Algebros on the level counter!"

    I'm both happy to know that I wasn't the only one with this idea, and sad that I wasn't the first to have this idea. Ah well, carry on.

    Yes, we definitely did, and a line was written for Strong Bad. IIRC it was "That's a good idea, but the Algebros never did understand decimal points. I'll have to find some other way to do this." It must've not made it into the last rush of getting everything done.

    Next time you update glitches and whatnot, throw that in there!
