Viewing post in Hi, just wanted to ask about the game's endings

The "a" "b" "y" puzzle is intended to flash all the letters at the same time when it's active, but there's a bug where they get out of sync if they go offscreen. If all of them are active you've solved the puzzle. (It's actually lower-case alpha, beta and gamma greek letters)

The blue lightning blocks are currently not breakable. They're intended as alternate paths for a second playable character that I never had time adding to the game.

There are some unfinished paths but there's 5 hidden easter egg characters, 10 hidden weapon upgrades (one for each weapon, Handgun and Fairy Pistol have two each), 50 total Lore and 2 alternate outfits to unlock.

Hi Thanks for the quick reply. You write that there are 10 upgraded weapons. I currently have 8. I can't find Crio anywhere. Does it even exist? I will also ask how I can get permanent flapping of the wings and where, because I have a problem getting to the top in the land of ice. I also have a problem with gaining knowledge 22 because it is surrounded by blocks in the canal and I don't know what to do. Apart from the one and 50, which I know is during the fight with Smith, I've obtained all of them. I've been back to different places several times and I can't find the shopkeeper. He stands by the truck all the time but is inactive. Is this the end of his "career"? xzy I can still buy anything because I already have over 30,000 money

Best regards and thank you again for your help and answer

It might be impossible to collect that Lore if you didn't do it the first time you took the girls through the Canal (and didn't obtain the alternate upgrade path for the rocket launcher, which is a missable event that happens the first time you go through the canal)

The shopkeeper should still be interactible when he shows up near the truck at the end, he's supposed to give you hints about the second upgrade for the Handgun. I'll have to look into this.

Thanks for the info and willingness to help. Just tell me how to achieve permanent wing flapping and where. I liked this game very much because I think I've become a maniac about it even though I've played other games that aren't as good as this one. I'll probably have to play it again even though I have other responsibilities waiting for me

Best regards and thanks for creating a really good game

Take care and good luck with continuing your good games

Meeting all the easter egg characters (references to my older games) gives you the Dracula outfit and infinite flight, if I remember correctly. There's a riddle with 5 clues that I posted previously.

Hello. I've just reached the very top, above the gun upgrade, and there's a winged figure who didn't give me anything. He mentions Vanesa, who I also visited earlier, but she didn't give me anything either. Can you tell me how many eggs there are with these characters? I will be very grateful

Regards

5 in total (Sunshine, Raccoon, Vanessa, Baron and Nadia)

Hello. Could you tell me how to get the remaining 3 eggs because I'm having trouble finding them. I don't want to spoil the fun of the game, so I'm just asking for tips because I've gone back to every place I've been to and I really don't know how to find them anymore.

Sunshine: The tunnel between the Water Tower and Waste Canal: if you make your way from the start point to the left wall without touching any grates, a new door will appear
Raccoon: secret path close to the main base, there's a building where invisible blocks appear when you jump into them from below which lets you climb up a building into a secret area.
Nadia: the misty cave, one of the long corridors has a fake wall on the left
Vanessa: In the sky area, you can get out of bounds on the right-hand side
Baron: in the grass dungeon in a secret room. Fake wall, path is marked with different blocks

Thanks for the tips. Nevertheless, I will finish the game because I cannot find the remaining characters (so far I have only found the Baron, the Bat and Vanessa). I cannot get anything in the room with the characters in the capsules because the character in a separate capsule informs me that he is pole dancing. I don't know how to start the passage without electrical damage, i.e. whether from the waste canals towards the Water Tower or vice versa to get Sunshine. After entering the secret room near the truck, breaking the blocks that are all blue and going through the door, I fall down and after getting a little higher you have to make a very long jump, which is impossible. I also don't know how to get to Nadia because I don't know where the misty land is

I am very sorry and wish I could 100% complete this truly wonderful game. So far, I'm only missing knowledge number 22, but you already explained that in another post. I know how to get to Smitch and how to gain the latest knowledge, but there is no point in continuing this because it will not be satisfying for me.

Thank you for all your help so far and your willingness to answer my questions because I know that the game is no longer new and is getting old, especially since I no longer see any interest from other players. I know that you create other games and you don't have much time for your own affairs, let alone replying to my requests, so I express my great respect for your contribution to what you do and I wish you to achieve great success in what you strive for.

Regards. Arko

Hello Yal.

Could you give me directions on how to get to Sunshine? Well, I don't know when to avoid touching flashing light barriers in the subway. Do I go towards the girls the first time I enter it or only after that?

During the first meeting of the girls, right after the fall of the Water Tower and leading them through the first sewer, I sent out three blocks and a hidden wall connecting the second room with a weapon upgrade, I did not find knowledge number 22 anywhere. Is it only when I meet the girls for the second time, right after the subway? do before

So far I've found four eggs and I'm missing Sunshine

Thanks for the help

Regards, Arko
