  2. I am stuck on the symbols door...all circuits are established and I have 2 of the code numbers but cannot figure out how to change the and lock the symbols to make them correct the way the one hint in the game shows. Would love to finish but all I am doing now is running around. Love the concept!!! Any help would be appreciated.

  3. After Finding 3 digits of the code, I couldn't resist brute force the last digit.

    Now I've to go back to solve it a proper way.

    Few hints.
    1: Secret areas have Yellow/Black striping on the backside, to hide them from view when using the overview button.

    2: Try to die to get to new places.

    1. The symbol Door is not that hard if you find the trick

    2. No it isn't that hard.

      Meanwhile the run with knowing all the secrets, and solving the door riddle, took longer than the first run without using the symbol door.

    1. If the digits are 4734 then you have the Wrong digits. 734 is used somewhere else

    1. Start Running round and round and round

    2. If you're stuck where I got stuck you'll need to figure out the movement pad that doesn't seem to do anything - you might need to change your view and then align something

    1. Even though it didn't save progress, or even reset levels properly, it was a good game.

  12. I couldn't get very far. The moving platforms were too confusing.

  13. Had to brute force the fourth digit - is that the way it works or is that digit findable? Awesome game - I'm expecting to see it on Bart's top ten list for this year.
