Stuck already
Wow, I'm totally stuck right after a few easy puzzles. There is only so much I can click on and nothing combines, nothing happens. No hint on what to do now. I feel lost. Am I dumb or is it bad game design?

There is a sticker album and nothing happens, when I place the stickers. Do I need to find more stickers? Do I need to solve this now? Or later? Why does the game not give any hint at all on where to go or what to do?

There is a guy in a suit that won't let me in. Am I not dressed right? Do I need some sort of ticket? What is it, he wants?

Another guy is just hanging there. Just doing nothing. Not asking for anything, no hint at all.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
I'm walking around here like over an hour and have no idea what to try next? The only item I have left is a burst ballon. I tried it on everything.

What I know: It seems like I need to give a rope to one of the guys. But there is none.

When you click the guys, often they show a picture with a hint what they want.
I am stuck also a bit later, some solutions are not so easy to see...

As for your questions:

The sticker album: yes, you need additional stickers. I also dint have all of them right now... then you put them in to like solving the math (e.g. horse + ? = fast horse)

The guy in the suit: wants a ticket. I got it along the way, but forgot where. Sorry.

The guy hanging: you need to repair the broken chain. For that you need the paperclip from the guy, where you popped the balloon. You need to get the cat near that guy's room and use the line of the balloon with the cat. Also you need a third item - a ice cone. All that makes, that the paper clip falls down and he puts it to the right. Go up and pull out the antenna, then the guy goes to the radio again. Fetch the paperclip and repair the chain...

EDIT: The first game had more of these hints, I think. It could be an easier start into this.

Thanks both of you. I'll keep looking as I really don't like walkthroughs. And video walkthroughs are even worse :D
If you need to rely on those, something is wrong.

I just got frustrated and bored and was wondering whats going on. I started Point & Click games back on the C64 with Maniac Mansion, so I'm quite familiar with all sorts of adventure games like this. When I get that stuck I tend to think it should have been done better. Just so that I don't have to blame myself ;)

Ok. Progress.

But I swear I tried what was the solution at least 3 times before. Because it was the first and obvious thing to do when the cat came sitting there. Specially as I had only that one item on me. Suddenly the same thing just worked.
