It's a brilliant game. Are there any others like it?
Yes, here's a similar game starring that same elephant:
Achievement Unlocked
Another vaguely similar game:
Take Something Literally
I really dislike "Take Something Literally". First, some puzzles don't work on Mac (caps lock, wheel and a few others), what's mentioned nowhere. And second, it feels more like the author is trying to be a smart ass, than like it's a fun experience.
Yes, some of those were just annoying. There were a few that I couldn't solve.
Some of the puzzles have alternate solutions if you don't have a microphone or mousewheel or whatever.
For example:
Ba gur yriry jurer lbh'er fhccbfrq gb oybj vagb gur zvpebcubar, na nygreangr fbyhgvba vf gb glcr "oybj" ba gur xrlobneq.

For the version from the Dark Side:
The Impossible Quiz
There is no level of thinking sufficient to solve The Impossible Quiz, because the "correct" answers are ridiculous and arbitrary.
And so you have to make a guess, and start over if you guess wrong, remembering what not to guess next time. This may have been what the game designer intended.
I got stuck on the part with the toenails, about halfway through the game. I just couldn't click fast enough.
See also The Impossible Quiz 2
I also got about halfway through this one.
This one is somewhat similar: Karoshi Suicide Salaryman.
