The Dink Network

I just finished the very first Dink. Now I'm in mystry Island and cannot even find ways to increase my new life( the fountain just turns me into an animal) and I cannot seem to figure out where to go. I cannot even beat the first robot thingies would love any/all help as this is the only game my new husband ( 4 months!) and I like to play together ( we take turns and for dink one we competed together on the saved lives). We are both full time college students and both work full time as well; so our freetime is this game and taped movies.Any cheats would be appreciated
Sincerely Mrs. Everetts
