Stuck?
Anyone else stuff in the snow part where you have to saw down the 2 trees? I got the first one down after i kept swapping places each time, but the second one near the lady, after 2 cutts the older brother just runs forever and never grabs the handle.

Anyone else experiencing this or has a solution?

After two cuts he drops the saw and starts running? That is odd.

But, you should hold on to the saw the whole time.

No. I have to switch the brothers each time I use the saw because for some reason they wont keep sawing unless i swap them. After 2 swaps the brother won't grab onto the saw handle anymore. It acts like the rocks are in his way, but the little brother can grab it no problem.

Do you use a keyboard or controller? You should not have to drop the saw until both trees are cut down.

I just held both the action buttons and then simultaniously clicked left - right - left - right with both brothers. Didn't have any issue.

I didn't have any issue... And it has nothing to do if you use keyboard or controller, i completed the game on keyboard. I think you should find another position for the older brother to stay, maybe it will work.

I'm having the same issue. I can cut down the first tree by swapping the brothers each time, but I can't get the second one - Big Brother will hold one end, but when he's over there I can't saw at all. So when I swap the brothers, Big Brother won't take hold of the other end. He just starts running instead.

I'm using my keyboard to play. I changed up all of my buttons multiple times and I still can't get past this.

Aaah... try using a 360 controller and see if this fixes the issue - I ask simply because all of the control issues I've been seeing appear to be keyboard related.

Yeah it sucks and I'm not sure how to fix it. Hopefully a actual controller will help. :(

Thing is, you might have a PS/2 NKRO keyboard and other people are probably using keyboards without "no key roll over" (cheaper usb keyboards), possibly giving a different experience

This type of thing mostly happens when you mix up where they stand. Big should be on left, little on right and works like this for most puzzles where they need to interact with something simultaneously.

Same problem. Logitech wireless DiNovo keyboard can't seem to send [space]+[Lctrl]+[A]+[left] simultaneously. Didn't seem able to rebind keys in game (they are just listed in "how to play"). Eventually chopped tree 2 down by pulsing between the [left] and [A] keys quickly (with the other 2 pressed down). Sigh. Wish my 360 controller receiver wasn't broken... Good little game though. :-)
