Brilliant game - way more to it than you first think, love the mechanics later on in the game.

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.

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.

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

After looking at the convex map too much, my flat monitor looks curved and curved monitor looks flat haha.

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.

brilliant game - just the right amount of challenge. the side scrolling/parallax-type effect gave me a bit of motion sickness

i've got the 4 digits for the exit, but it does'nt work

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

Start Running round and round and round

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
