  2. Jump onto the baloon and later use a "needle" to destroy it

  3. I'm stuck on the one that says "shine some light on the matter". I typed "sun" but that doesn't help me too much... anyone?

  4. Nice game. Having trouble with the one growing the beansprout with the sun. I've tried jumping over to climb up to the star but keep falling. What's the solution?

  7. I've shone the light, the sprout grows but the Hero won't jump onto it. He just keeps falling. What do I do?

  12. A Dog for all seasons enter Autumn then the dog will climb up the leaves then enter Winter and the dog will walk on the ice and touch the switch

  17. This game does not work for me.
    Very odd. No mater what letter I type, one letter and four spaces show up. Example, if I type the word "type", it will come out

    and so on. Anyone else have this problem?

  18. type WIND on the left and PIN on the right. Jump on the baloon and move the switch.
    great game but to short!

  19. Needle is not working for me in the balloon level. So far the only interaction I've found is 'wind.' The spikes won't pop the balloon either. Any suggestions?

  20. This is like Scribblenauts!!

  21. Game not working. Sometimes I get repeated letters, not the ones I am typing.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Nevermore: I get this all the time on my laptop. I can usually fix it by holding down the key that's sticking, holding down another key, liftin the first one then lifting the second one. It's really annoying when it happens on fast-paced platformers.

    Hope that wasn't too garbled to understand. :)

  23. Thanks, Lichen Fairy.
    I am familiar with what you are talking about, it happens to me sometimes with the arrow keys. That is not the problem though. This is far more strange. 'Cause sometimes the letter will change or not be the one I am typing.
    I'll check for updates to flash.
    Thanks again.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Actually, this problem has happened many times in many other games too. sometimes, the arrow keys get stuck and i'm continuously running in one paticular direction(not for this game. this game just stucks on a letter). but i just press the "stuck" key again, and it's back to normal......... until it happens again.

  25. *shrugs* It sucks to be us mate.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Great concept. Looking forward to see some more levels from the developer.

    "Needle" was just a hint to get you all in the right direction. Only a 3-letter word fits in the right typing box.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm not fast enough to do the balloon one. :(

    ReplyDelete
  28. Lichen Fairy, you have to jump on the balloon to get to the other side and flip the switch. Then type the words in.

    ReplyDelete

    As far as I can tell all plugins needed on my part are up to date.
