Love this game! Am totally absorbed by it but I got stuck in the kitchen since I can't attach the hose to the oil dispenser. I tried zillions of times, I've reset the iPad2, restarted the game but nothing helps. Please provide a solution ASAP so I can keep playing! :-)

This problem has been discussed and SOLVED, here. Quote: "...regarding the hose in the kitchen not connecting with the oil dispenser. It’s just a little tricky. I needed to drag the hose to the dispenser & tap the dispensers spout almost simultaneously…" also, @Mirre, your poll was not needed. But thanks for your participation anyway. ~A

Alex, I read Gwen's posting and solution, tried it - it didn't work - so I posted the problem I'm having. It worked for her but it's not working for me. I even went back in the game and re-played part of it. Same issue appeared again. This is not an isolated issue, this is either a bug or other problem. I'd like to know a work-around so I can continue the game. As it is now, I'm literally stuck in the kitchen, just like Joseph's girlfriend. I want out! ;-) Thanks, M

bummer... Just checking, you are playing an iPAD2 version 1.2 of the game now, right?

Count me among those who can't do this. I've done everything suggested, including restarting the iPad.

Wait a sec, you just posted a question about Botanicula ~ which is totally cool, I'm just wondering when's the last time you tried to solve the oil dispenser "problem" in Machinarium? (and what version of the game were you playing?)

Ha! I just discovered this company and I'm playing both games. Both problems occurred this afternoon. Both games are current versions, a couple of days from download at the iTunes or App store.

Cool! ![Cheesy](http://amanita-design.net/forum/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) So, guessing Machinarium on your iPAD and Botanicula on your MacBook? Have you tried the oil dispenser solution referenced here? (sounds like it's all about timing... have you tried having a cup of coffee before playing?)

I'll try right after breakfast tomorrow, but so far the Machinarium solution eludes me. And yes, I tried that repeatedly today.

Hi Alex, I downloaded the game just a few days ago so I'm pretty sure I'm running the v1.2. M.

Sorry, Mirre & texasfrance, the best I can do for you is to encourage you to keep trying the advice that was given: "drag the hose to the dispenser & tap the dispensers spout almost simultaneously" We do know that it HAS (eventually) worked for thousands of iPAD players.
But if you're over and done with trying and just want to contact Amanita Design to report this as a game-stopper on the iPAD, click on the 'About' tab up top.
Good luck! ( and please write back when you finally connect that hose! ) ~A

Okay, I don't know what I did that was different from the thousands (or seemingly) other times I did it, but I did it and it worked.
Now I'm dealing with the recalcitrant squeaky handle outside.
Good job. Thanks for the update! ~A

I was never able to attach the rubber hose either, after a million attempts I switched back to the main character, and tried starting the elevator, and it worked. So I guess the animation never happened but the fuel ended up in the tank. Up I went!
iPad 3, downloaded game on 8-12-12.
