First, let me say that I am almost done with the game, having completed the other three worlds. But the further I get in the game, the more difficult it gets for me to trust it. That is, I am never sure whether I have missed something, am doing something wrong, or if the game has just stopped working.
Example one: Whenever I change scenes I inherit the cursor from the previous scene. In scene "A" I may have a forward pointing cursor in the middle of the screen. I click and move forward to the next scene "B". In scene "B" I also have a forward pointing cursor, so I click, but nothing happens. I move the cursor around a little, but nothing changes and nothing happens when I click. Finally I find a spot where the cursor changes and suddenly the central forward pointing cursor is no more. It just came along for the ride from scene "A". I have to actually get the cursor to change in scene "B" before the scene "B" cursors load. This has been consistent throughout the game and I cannot tell you how frustrating it has been.
Example two: I am on Maya's Island and it is time to release the monkey. I select the captured monkey in my inventory and a yellow outline appears around the icon. But when I move the cursor away the yellow outline vanishes. Indeed, if I select the monkey and then leave inventory, his image is NOT in the upper left corner. He was not selected. In fact, it was impossible to select anything from inventory while in Maya's Island. I saved the game, exited and restarted. Then everything worked fine.
There were several other things that mysteriously started working as I played throughout the game. At the time I assumed that I had missed something, but now I am not so sure.
Now I am on Patty's Island and I have a new friend for her. I have exhausted the dialog tree, but when I offer the monkey to Patty she just says she will have to think about it. I checked the walkthrough, but don't see that I have missed anything (and yes, the pitchfork is there waiting to be liberated.)
Have I missed a trigger? Or is the game off in La-La land again?
Suggestion: I like the way you have written the walkthroughs with general hints at the top and final solutions at the bottom. Could you please include a list of any "trigger" events which must happen before a puzzle/encounter can continue? For example, on robot world, prisoner robot will not talk about his treasure game until you click on empty pedestal. This information could be placed at the bottom, just above each puzzle which they relate to.
Thanks for the help!
