Mosquito & Cow
Here you assume the role of a wily mosquito whose main ambition in life is to subdue a cow with whatever means are available with the ultimate goal of filling that mosquito belly with bovine blood. Beautifully rustic artwork blended with the backing sounds of Spanish guitar really give this game its character, and you can't help but feel that mosquitoes work pretty hard to earn their daily blood, no matter how stupid cows apparently are.

The End!
I am glad that real mosquitoes are not this clever. I too am easily distracted by pretty objects and scary critters, and am regularly hoodwinked by the promise of quick and delicious food.
Level 5's second image did not work. And that's the one I'm stuck on...
Power of posting.
The images still don't work, and following the instructions...ah, got it.
Make sure you do NOT
start the fire before burning the first rope
.
Perhaps I'm just having a bad day but I am finding it a bit annoying to have to solve a puzzle to get help! Grrrr!
hmmmm...not loading for me...just an empty spot where the flash window normally goes Using FF 3 and win7
Looks like the updated flash player is causing problems? All I get is a blank screen where the game should be.
[Very latest Flash Player here on Mac OS X (10.3.181.34) and the game is loading just fine in Firefox 5.0. -Jay]
I am having the same problem as sandsnake, although I am using the latest version of Chrome. When I go to another website the game loads fine, so I'm thinking the problem is on your side.
[The game is loading fine for me in the very latest Chrome (12.0.742.112) on Mac OS X, and on the latest Chrome (12.0.742.112) on Windows 7, so I have no idea what the problem could be for you. -Jay]
i am stuck on level 6. the walkthrough says
•Attach the swinging string to loop on the right post of the watchman's tower
i cant figure out how to do that. help :)
I'm also stuck on how to bring down the guard tower... feel like I've been pixel-hunting forever!!
We tracked down the loading problem to be a localized issue for people near the Virginia server in our content delivery network.
The problem should be fixed. The game should load for everyone now without any issue.
I brought down the guard tower (the right way), but is now stuck at bringing down snow on the branch. Where is it supposed to go?
Oh... refreshed the page and found the sweet spot. apparently as long as your mosquito moves in a path that contains the pixel, the
string gets attached
For those stuck on the watchtower part of Level 6:
There are two posts holding up the watch tower. The point you're looking for is parallel to the third rung of the ladder. The right post has a little nick on the inside of the board, it looks like a curved shape inward that comes to a point. If you fly over that point while carrying the string, it will automatically attach to the post. Click the tether a few times and it will swing back and forth until the tower collpases.
Thanks for fixing the loading issue! It is greatly appreciated!
Love the combination "weird + cute + simplegraphics"!
But there is too much waiting and almost-but-not-really logic to get it five stars.
