Nice game but I'm afraid it's bugged : slows down until a point where it stucks my computer....
I won't continue

I beat the game found it fun and not super challenging. Although I found a bug in the last level where crashing into a box with the rocket ability while you have the grabber ability causes the line from the latter to stay on screen which reverts abilities to the sides of your character when intersecting the line. This makes the level harder than intended.

I only encountered this issue in the top 2 rows of the last level but might not be exclusive to that, so I had to make sure the line was in the top row to be able to successfully complete the

I enjoyed the game. I am curious, if I can leave Level 9 on the other exit? Wish there would be more levels! :-)

stuck at level 16 (deja vu), any hint?

Put a flame on your left and right. Put a spike on the front and shoot the thing that would normally clear the front spike

Spent way too long on level 16, felt like the level of difficulty took a big jump. Figured it out, though. I have the same question about the other exit on level 9.

Also on replaying, I was reminded that the player object is referred to as "entity 404" in the intro -- 404 is of course the http return code for "not found". Clever!

Is anyone still out there? I'm stuck on 11, I think. It's the one with the yellow "grabber" ability and the exit on the bottom right with a large hole you have to fill in. Any help would be appreciated!

That last level is killing me! I'm so close to beating it, but I am stumped.

Done eventually... level 19 is by far harder than 20...

For level 11, the trick is to arrange the crates so that one is on the button, and three are in a vertical line above the holes at the bottom. Then, with the hook on the top, go down to the bottom and pull them down one by one, pushing them to the right to fill the horizontal holes and open the exit.

You didn't ask a question, though.

Never mind, I just realized that you meant "the same question as the other commenter". My bad.
