    Excellent question. I believe Traps N Gemstones is more of a Metroidvania, not a puzzle game like this one. Vulture Island really reminded me of many hours spent playing, and dying, in the Dizzy games. Would also love to see more in this vein.

    Although I am now also going to get Traps N Gemstones anyway, which I missed first time around but has been sitting on my wishlist for about six months.

    Same here. Gonna play TnG first, wish I already got but was on my backlog. Then, later, Vulture Island.

    Love their "simple" games.

    This game reminded me a lot of Strangest Island Escape: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=260616

    Thanks! Where do I find the tool to hit a button objects in that level? It doesn't seem like I'm able to reach it.

    You will need some kind of projectile-firing weapon. Each character gets one.

    There's a slingshot in a vase on a platform outside the witch's cottage. You can't reach the platform itself, but you can nudge the vase.

    You could always try Dizzy - Prince of the Yolkfolk on iOS https://appsto.re/gb/R52qC.i

    TnG is superb. In all honestly was hoping VI was going to be a sequel to it. Still hoping DG does a true sequel.

    **SPOILER** Can someone explain how bug spray can break down a rock wall but has no effect on the actual bugs in the game? If there's no explanation and its just random, that's honestly just stupid and frustrating. It's not a puzzle if it makes no logical sense.

    Do I literally need to go to each level to check for an item right from the start?

    I like to think it is a reference to shady sellers and not always getting what you paid for.

    Even so, how could the player reasonably figure out that's what you used the bug spray for? I just got lucky when I figured it out, but I was getting close to giving up. Or maybe just put more clues in to help players. Just my 2 cents.

    I think the previous answer to your post was right, and I agree with you that is seems a little unfair - but you only have about three different things you can try at that stage. Trial and error will get you through most things, in time-honoured puzzle game fashion.
