Can anyone help me, I am on the bit where they are in the farm and puss n boots has to walk across the high rope with the thorns sticking out, how can I get passed them, everytime I try I fall of and have to start again.

This is easy... just walk on the rope, then jump over the thorns and press the action-button while you are still in the air and hold it until you land

Thanks for the information about the rope now I am at the end of the game the final fight I have passed the 2 monsters, also the fairy godmother but can not get passed the 3 monsters together and it is so annoying there is not a save before this part because I have to go back to the beginning again, I am ready to put the game in the rubbish.
Can anyone help
