My son started playing it and I asked him turned the sound down a bit, which he done but now there is no sound. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but that made no difference. So now I have sad son. (I have checked my sound on others things and game to which it works on them) ### 5/5 — My daughter loves it *2015-04-15, version 1.6* For a child who is obsessed with charley bear this is great.

However when we do the circus puzzle, there is no spot to put the ball into and so we cannot continue but can only exit back to the main menu. Would appreciate this being fixed with an upgrade.
