After using console in releasing the magnet, an error shows up.

in room 1 script (line 392)

Error: AnimateObject: Object has not been assigned a view

Please correct that!

Aww... crud.

Thanks for the quick reply! The rest of the game went smoothly. Nice little game! Ending was a bit obvious though...

I've just downloaded the fixed version, but now I'm unable to use the magnet's console? He says he won't do it.

In the old version, he did it but the game crashed afterwards.

I'm stuck here also. I've got the power on but I must have missed something because he says, "I have no reason to use that console." Can anyone help me with the puzzle I must have missed just prior to the console puzzle?

Is there a robot in the vicinity of the magnet? If not, you need to get him closer.

I have plugged the hose into the vacuum and got the robot near it. I got rid of the glass container and noticed I can pick up the other end of the hose. What now?

I'm stuck here too!

But i must admit, I'm not so excited to finish this game.
Just walking back and forth is not so thrilling.
