NOTE: Mina19_1919 uses cats a lot in her comments and also uses a cat avatar for her profile. I think it's safe to assume she really likes cats.

thommy responds to sarapar and tries to help him with his problems:

Maybe your computer is too slow for this. surprise

I had to use the faster cpu mode of my PC (1.2 instead of 0.9GHz) to solve this, before that I was not fast enough either.

Hope this helps,

Hi there,

as I understand that you are one of the makers of Chiko I would like to make some recomendations:

Overall it is one of the most interesting flash games I have ever played: with cute graphics, talented voices and a very clever game play in my humble opinon it really extents the genre of flash games .

Wow! sunglasses

So only a few things could be improved:

* From the mini games menu (click bean-> mini games) I find no way back to the game scene.
So I click bean-> Home-> load game.
Is there any other way to do this?

* One of the best things is that one can try to get the 95 points by winning the mini game of your choice (would be lost if I would need to walk 100m on the bridge sleepy). So I do not understand why the disco game *has* to be played.
Also I found absolutely no hint in the game itself that this a must.
This is kind of annoying as this is the only game I see absolutely no chance to win.

Okay, I give it another try (for the 22nd time).


Best regards from Berlin ,
Thommy
