Haha! Can't believe I've had the exact same problem replaying this game TWELVE years later, and found this thread when I Googled it! It turns out it's the E key which gets Jimmy onto the branch.

I'm having a new problem I don't remember from before, though - Jimmy and the branch are in the way of the 'targets' half the time, and it's borderline impossible to get him to aim the catapult where you want. He seems hell-bent on shooting random people miles away, instead of the students disturbing the date.

Hints, Tips and Cheats / *** PC version *** Here's how to pass "Shop"
« on: October 07, 2009, 07:51:23 AM »
In case anyone else has the same problem I did, here's how to pass the "Shop" class. Even some of the posts by console users trying to help don't explain this properly.

From what I've read, console users have to turn a thumb stick to rotate the bike's pedals when instructed; on the PC port you have to rotate the mouse in the direction indicated, in the same way as for picking the combination locks on lockers.

In the shop class, I couldn't understand why on each try I got failed the moment I moved the mouse. It turns out the trick is to be already moving the mouse before the instruction is displayed. This usually means failing a few times to learn the sequence, but you'll get there in the end. ;)

Most posts on this forum seem to relate to console versions of the game, but I am hoping someone can help with the PC port (and yes, it's true, the UI on the PC version is abysmal!).

After pressing to start climbing the tree, you press (forward) to climb up. As soon as Jimmy gets to the first big branch growing out to the right, he automatically starts climbing out along it. Nothing I do seems to prevent this, and eventually time runs out.

Any ideas how to get him to just climb past the branch to where he is supposed to go?
