Now I don't even get a Start button to click! Suffice it to say that it is not working at all for me.

The puzzle loaded fine, but those two similar forehead pieces are ummmm... too similar.
I thought I had finished the puzzle, but I hadn't, so nothing happened. The pieces flicker a bit whenever the mouse arrow moves over them, but I suppose that is to be expected, as it was like that for past drag puzzles too. (I liked the cartoon ad for Kitty Kaviar)

As a game designer, I have a couple of suggestions to pass on, yet they arent' much different than what another web designer would suggest. Never make your players wait if you don't have to. The pieces take 20 seconds to shuffle, which is way too long. Can the shuffling take just a few seconds like your sliding puzzles? If it's really because of the loading time, I suggest at least showing a message that it is shuffling and/or loading, (even though that may seem like stating the obvious) and a graphic bar with a percentage indicator wouldn't hurt.

Thank you for your feedback everyone!

Those of you for whom it didn't work (got the "that was purrfect" message but weren't take to the page with the question and the form) - can you please let me know what your operating system and browser are? also, did you try past drag puzzles or other meowhoo games and did they work for you?

Actually I understand that what really matters with Java is your browser version. So I need to know browser version for the people who had trouble with the game. Sorry about this guys - I bought the application from a company that apparently offers little to no support
I am trying to figure this out with help from Java experts on other boards - hopefully there will be some solution.

Also, if people who had trouble could also tell me if they had problems with the last drag puzzle that might help as well.
We had this one last time -

I had previously played the Kitty Kavier drag puzzle without a problem, but now it is the same as the new one.....won't do a thing when I click 'start'. I am running IE5.1 for Mac.
