I looked at the other post, but didn't see my problem. I'm at the Very Beginning and can't get Jep to move! He gave Mina a hug and now just sits there. The cursor doesn't change to move--where is the path Jep is supposed to go to?


For goodness sakes--I just found out that I had to X out of the discussion in order to move Jep around. Big Duh! Sorry to take up your time!!

Glad you found out what's holding you back.

Sorry for the delay. I was working on another puzzle - color puzzle.

Thanks, MaG--I shouldn't have had to ask about that. Sometimes I scare myself! So, ok, I did figure out how to move the characters (how embarrassing), but now I can't seem to get Jep clean in order to get a hug. The WT doesn't say anything about Jep being ordered to get clean and the little dickens won't go into the lake. I also can't seem to get the sponge wet in order to clean him off. Now what am I doing wrong??

Oops, also, I can't get Jep into the green foodwise. He has had enough of every item I have: oranges, seeds, pine nuts and eggs. I even started over when I realized that I had given mean monkey the pine nuts and I couldn't find any more. Jep's still in the orange area, with just such a leeetle bit left to fill, but he won't taken anything. Nothing like an adventure game to keep one humble.

Hugging Jep will increase his energy too. Get lots of hugs.

Soak the sponge in the lake to clean it up. Then use it on Jep.

Have fun.

Thanks, MaG. I tried to soak the sponge again and couldn't, but then, on a whim, tried to put it onto Jep. Lo and behold, Jep is now clean! Somehow, I filled the sponge with water and didn't even realize it. Nothing like being bested for a while by an inanimate object and a monkey!!

I do see a difference in the sponge, but, since I forget how to note a possible spoiler, I won't say what it is right now.

No problem stating the difference. It will help others.
Have fun with the game.

Ok, the sponge is green when it's ready to use. It takes only a brief second for it to change from grey (dirty) to green.

Now i have another problem (of course). I'm trying to repair the robot and have misplaced some of the circuits, which made them burn up. Therefore, I don't have enough to complete the board correctly. I don't see any way to start the puzzle over. Naturally, in my eagerness, I didn't save before starting the puzzle. Do I need to go back to my most recent saved game in order to start over?

(Yikes--I sure hope Not!)

I really don't kneo. I would have said - yes but a gamer (I can't remember_ stated that he got through with less circuits.
Did you get the circuits that you used at the laser puzzle?

I just now realized that I hadn't retrieved the circuits from the laser box. I think I may finally be on my way to solving this without haveing to copy the WT. That would really be great! I'm saving a lot as I go along and it helps when I mess up. It takes me a while, but I do learn--slowly, admittedly.

Thank you for your help and patience.

Keep us posted.

Well, I've done it again--messed up, I mean. I cooked the eggs and now I need a raw one for make a cake. Do I need to go back to an earlier save or are there some eggs around that I haven't been able to find? Or is it even necessary to make the cake?

All the food prep are optional. These add points and can also get high points in pacifying the monkeys or gaining more energy. You can skip them.

Thanks, MaG.

You're welcome. Enjoy.
