I am also stuck in the Arcade. I can peddle smoothly at any speed but I can barely get my arrow to twitch. I've tried everything mentioned in other threads: going in wider circles, smaller circles, slower and consistent speeds. I've spent at least 30 minutes trying all sorts of methods. I even turned on cursor mode and tried it with various cursor sensitivities. I am at a loss, which is too bad because I've been really enjoying the game.

If it is any sort of help, I'm running it on the RCA Pro10 tablet.

I just noticed that the link J∅E gave wasn't working.  (it was the correct thread but somehow wasn't connecting)  I plugged in a URL format that now works.  Try the advice Crayox gave, about pedaling "consistent and SLOW!" and then post an update.

That was actually one of the first posts I came across. I've tried going a multitude of speeds across all radii. I've moved my finger in circles and ellipses, curved and straight lines, clockwise and counter-clockwise as well as every permutation of these factors. Even my wife gave it a shot for a few minutes.

I could try to get a recording of the issue if you think it would help. Can't guarantee it'd be very high quality, though.

Actually, no I don't think that would help us much, but thanks for offering.   :)

What I'm thinking now is that your particular device might be r-e-a-l-l-y sensitive... like, actually... "twitchy"! 

Would you please next try to spin the cycle pedals VERY VERY slowly and cautiously?

And if that doesn't work...  I'm tapped.  There's just no way I can understand why your RCA Pro10 tablet won't do this puzzle.

Sorry.   :-[

Well, unfortunately, i too have this issue. I have tried every single method of motion possible by the human hand and the bike just will not generate power. I have this on my phone. It's a shame, because i absolutely love all of the Amanita games. Machinarium is my favorite.  :'(
