Help. I am being asked for a security code and this has never happened before. Has this happened to anyone?
Must have been a weird fluke. I deleted game and re-installed it Now if I could just get my mouse to work. I am not good at using the keyboard mouse.

I am disappointed that morphing objects are not contained in the strategy guide. I have been staring at the first HOP for now 20 minutes and still can't find it. Any help is appreciated.
Weird that mouse worked fine and it's possible that a Windows Update affected it. Lately it would work intermittently and then would go bck to working. I googled a few tips and so far so good. I am horrible without a mouse so I have to use it. Keeping fingers crossed it stays working.

The first chapter has a hop and it has the little symbol indicating there is a morphing object, a cube turns to a circle. I love when developers include this so I was surprised they didn't include where they are. this developer usually does.
Or does anyone know what color the is when there is no morphing object. Right now it is blue. Maybe blue means there isn't a morphing object?

Are you sure it isn't in the end of the strategy guide?

Could they be random? If the objects are static, they would generally be included in the guide.

I am not sure. I know a list has been in other Eipix games of both collectibles and morphing items.
I sent an email to Eipix which they responded to wit sending me te screenshots but they also advised that Big Fish creates the SG so I sent an email to Big Fish. Maybe for future buyers tey can update the strategy guide.
