The game is very good, but it crashes toward the end of the game and locks up the computer.

All of the Samantha swift games have had a problem, but at least they correct it so just wait and they will fix it. They are very good games I can't wait til it gets fixed

I had one more adventure to go but had to quit. This morning I was going to finish and it didn't save my game. What can I do? Thanks.......

I had it crash right at the beginning, I can't get past the colored balls to their appropriate spot. It just goes byee!!! And it does it at the same place everytime, so have not been able to go farther. I hope they fix this soon. I love these games!!

I ran into a bug in mine too- when you get to the last puzzle before the end- the directions made NO sense to me. I clicked on several things but it still made no sense.
So i did what I usually do for that type of problem, logged out of the game, and went to the internet and googled a walk through, and found an explanation for the puzzle- which then made sense. I reloaded the game to finish (I noticed by the walkthrough that once I finished the puzzle, then i would get to see the ending). But when it loaded, it put up the puzzle bugged- nothing was on the totem, so nothing at ALL happened when i clicked any tile! I tried clicking the hints, I read you could skip out of mini games that way- but all it did was highlight one tile, either it meant click it (and nothing happened) or the monkey piece I was trying to find was behind it. There was NO fix. Now if I want to see the end- I have to repeat the ENTIRE game - and I was at 4 hours 42 min- because you cant back up.

I've had the same issues but have been able to work around them.

Early game error -- moving the colored balls to matching vapor:
Click outside the game window. Click back in again. Click OK on the error message once more. The PDA menu should be displayed. Exit to the main menu, then choose "Play" again. It should take you back where you left off and allow you to continue.

End of game error -- blank screen:
It is supposed to be scrolling the credits at this point. Press ALT+TAB to display your desktop. You should now see a message that the credits file cannot be found. Click OK then click the game in your taskbar at the bottom to return to it. You should be at the main menu.

These work for me, so hopefully they will get you through until we get a real fix.
