By throwing a Spriteling at these plants, they will break and drop Spriteling eggs. There will be blue or purple heart-shaped plants growing around every map. Regardless of what happens, it's completely normal and there's an easy way to get more. Whether that is because you abandoned them in the dark, lost them, or they were killed by an enemy. The color of the highlighted number will also represent the type of Spriteling needed. Any object that needs Spritelings to build or carry will highlight how many Spritelings are needed when you get close to it. In the photo above, the Twiglings were thrown into the pile of sticks, which made them automatically pick them up and build the bridge. You have to throw Spritelings at things for them to get to work. To defeat enemies, you need Spritelings as your hands and feet simply won't do. You will have to throw them at enemies and the Deep Woods. Spritelings are your main line of defense against enemies. These need five Emberlings to unblock it. For instance, you'll find objects or areas blocked behind tumbleweed bushes. You'll need different types of Spritelings to reach new areas. Each Spriteling type has specific powers and attributes, so it's important to have them all and know when to use them. There are up to five different types you can find throughout the game. Usually these would be good things in this context but here they aren't put together very well creating a film that, although worth seeing and weirdly fascinating, is not actually that good a film.The first Spriteling you meet is a Twigling. Overall this is a typical Lynchian film in it's imagery, weird characters, strange story and violent/sexual content. Turns from Dafoe, Stanton, Rossellini, Fenn, Glover and others are all good but they exist as free floating weird characters rather than part of the film in the way I would have liked. Dern is given more to do but comes across rather hammy with it - her character should have had the emotional buy in to the film but she can't deliver it. Cage is really quite good despite his simple character. The cast features many of Lynch regulars, but many seem to be lost due to the fact that they haven't got the material to do their stuff within. It's a shame because I really like many of Lynch's films and was looking forward to this, but even I am forced to admit that this film just isn't that good. Sometimes this works really well when it is framed within an engaging film, but here the characters, images and action are all just left drifting in a relatively empty film. The plot is more a collected of the usual Lynchian weirdness and gore. The references to Wizard of Oz are all there but, rather than being part of the film, they are stuck in with clumsiness all the way - they seem like a gimmicky afterthought rather than a carefully scripted part of the film. Certainly that seemed to be the case here: the plot is so loose and meaningless to almost be pointless even as a frame for weirdness - which is what it really is. I am not adverse to Lynch's universe of weird characters but I don't like it when I get the feeling that he is simply being weird for the sake of it. I sat to watch it aware of the basic plot and that it was to be full of references to Wizard of Oz, but I wasn't prepared for the biggest surprise - that it just wasn't that good a film. Years later I have seen many other Lynch films, have loved Twin Peaks and looked forward to a chance to watch it. I first tried to watch this when it first came on television, but I was watching it with family and felt uncomfortable with the nudity and turned it off. Unaware of this, Sailor and Lula continue west, encountering all manner of weird and wonderful people on their way. When Sailor and Lula break parole and head for California, she hires a hitman after them to kill Sailor. Almost two years after beating a man to death in a fight, Sailor is released from prison and restarts his relationship with Lula - much to the disapproval of Lula's mother.
