Hi everybody. Can't believe how hopeless I am at this game. Getting too old! In the second level I can pick up a Smartie but don't seem to be able to drop him off at the pod. I looked at the options and back space should do it but it doesn't. Help!

you don't need to press any key, just walk over the drop space while the smartie's on your back

Hi Greedz. Thanks for trying to help. I have jumped on top of the pod, walked across it. Shot it! Swore at it. But I will try again. I did think that it would probably happen automatically but it is probably just me. I will try again now. Thanks again. I suppose I am right in dropping them off one at a time? Or should I be picking up four before doing so? Thanks again. God knows what will happen when the game gets difficult! lol

Yes, you can only carry one at a time. Just walk over the pad and they drop. Maybe a glitch happened.

Hi Kiva. Thanks for trying to help. I have tried again but it just doesn't work so I will redownload the program and try again. Thanks. Floorshaker

To drop him you need go due nord, there will be a little island with fence. They will be dropped automatically.

You're very welcome ;-)
I take it it did help you, then?

actually, I haven't reinstalled giants since I got my macbook. but I trust you.
