Well this is the best I could come up with. This one should make more sense. :smile:
DIZZY - HELLO, GLENDA.
GLENDA - OH, YOU AGAIN! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS FOLLOW ME?
DIZZY - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
GLENDA - PREPARING MY JAM! PHEW! IT'S WAY TOO HOT DOWN HERE!
DIZZY - SO THEY'LL BE NO PRANKING AROUND FOR YOU THEN?
GLENDA - YOU COULD AT LEAST CHEER UP A RETIRED WOMAN, NO?
DIZZY - I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
GLENDA - MILK! WHAT A NICE SURPRISE!
DIZZY - IT'S STILL FRESH.
GLENDA - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
DIZZY - YOU'RE WELCOME.
GLENDA - I SHALL NOW GIVE YOU A SPECIAL TREAT!
DIZZY - ERR, MAYBE LATER...
DIZZY - AWW, I FEEL SICK!
GLENDA - DID YOU NOT ENJOY IT? HOW ABOUT I TRY AGAIN?
DIZZY - NO, NO! I SHOULD GET GOING NOW!
GLENDA - THEN AT LEAST TAKE MY OLD GLOVES.
DIZZY - THANKS! I'M SURE THEY'LL COME IN HANDY.
GLENDA - WHAT'S THAT THING?
I've just discovered the game. Amazing graphics. However, I can't even get out of the house... I can't reach the golden key, getting on many platforms - and guessing which objects can serve as platforms and which are background only - is already quite tough...

Figuring that out definitely is the hardest part of the game. But actually it isn't that hard once you realize that pretty much every shelf and window can be walked on but only when the lights are on (or a torch is near).
I still haven't moved far. I only managed to get higher up in the kitchen and press a button - I don't know what it does anyway... Edit: OK, I already know, I started checking out the earlier hints... However, now I'll be off to write philosophical stuff in my diary and to meditate...
Edit: Yet I couldn't resist playing some more in the night... I've managed to get further, but I have no idea how to get the key in the attic. Now I have empty can and bucket of milk.
I don't see any item that could be picked up there, only stools, flowers and grass. Edit: do you mean a match? I had found one earlier - I don't remember where - but I have already used it in the attic (the room with the key I still can't get...). Edit: I've checked it out with an earlier save - it was indeed next to the grill, but anyway lighting the torch didn't seem to change access to anything. Edit 3: I've managed to jump on the crates and get a new coin, but I still don't know how to get the key... I managed to get below the windowpane, but I keep falling through the floor and I can't figure out what to do. Edit 4: OK, I've got the key, but now I can't get the pickaxe... I've read hints, but I don't know what after jumping on the table... However, I've at least managed to get another coin and the scissors. Edit 5: OK, I got it!
I've already managed to do it - actually the most important thing is closing the shutters - but now I'm not sure what next. I've managed to find Glenda, get the gloves, destroy the fan, get the spray, but I don't know what to do after spraying the flies and there seems to be a bug: it says Dizzy pulls a cable from the fan, but it doesn't appear in the inventory... Edit: OK, it's not a bug, I've got the wire, but I don't know where to use it now... I was going to an outdoor gym anyway, so I guess I'll take a break from the game; hints appreciated... Edit 2: I figured out WHERE to use the wire, but I have absolutely no idea how to get on the roof... I can't get anywhere higher to the right of Dizzy's balcony - it would seem I could get to the roof of the small water tower (?) with a metal barrel, but no... Edit 3: OK, indeed it IS possible to get higher... It seems I'm close to the end, but now I don't know what to do with the empty glass...
Now I don't know how to make the pirate drink his spiked beer... Edit: OK, I didn't realise you only need to go out. Edit 2: I'm on the other side and I don't know what to do next - I'm quite out of items...
So? I've already been there and can't seem to find anything new I've already found Daisy, so I think I'm further than you suppose. Now I don't know how to get the key Daisy tried to throw. As I said, probably the only remaining accessible object is the again-empty bucket.
Any chance you could be more specific? Which window? I've been trying to use the crowbar on EVERYTHING... that sort of logic appeals to me. Unfortunately, either I just put it down or "You can't drop this here!"
