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've tried everything mentioned in other threads...

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.

...I could try to get a recording of the issue if you think it would help.

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.
