[Feature request] Add fly-mode and teleport functionality
It would be great if the game would support a Fly mode, so you could just fly around the island and a teleport function to jump directly to specific game positions.

It would be awesome to have this functionality!

I think it would take away a lot from the game. The whole point is to explore, see the environment, get lost from time to time. In my opinion, one of the puzzles is also: "Where to go next?".

If you add flying, it offers new players to just go from puzzle to puzzle and remove the exploring and wandering part. It would be ghostmode cheat in an already ghostmode world. There is just you and an island to explore.

Also, some of the puzzles would become irrelevant. Lots of puzzles implies getting access trough some fences, with flying you could just skip some parts.

Ofcourse, if you mean getting access to flying after you finish certain high percentage of puzzles, then it would be ok and not totally gamebreaking. But I would protest even then. I'm a WoW player and know what flying can do to mysterious and beautiful world. :steamsad:

I agree with you and I indeed mean that it should only be enabled if you already finished it completely. I also sincerely dislike the solution walkthroughs as for some,it's so tempting to look at them, even though it is so ultimately more rewarding to solve the puzzles with the help of friends as compared to using a guide. You can't say: don't look at it, spoiler alert of any of that ♥♥♥♥. Just don't post it!! Sorry, off-topic rant,it's kinda late :-)

Anyhow, I would just like to have this feature to go and explore areas you should normally can't visit, to see interesting design choices, have a closer look at the awesome artwork etc. Not as a cheat to quickly go and solve puzzles, but then again...it would enable this. So, the feature should only be unlocked if you solve a very per computer unique puzzle that incorporates all of the things you have learned on the island :o)

Also, add a rocket launcher and aliens. And jump pads. And coins to collect. And ...

Now, on a serious note. Do you know how Chinese gardens are made (and why)?

I could, but I trust you'll learn this on your own.

Well, I investigated it and now I know. I do agree with your point of view for some part, but I also like to play, investigate and look beyond the fences. Ah well, that I am already able to, so it's not really needed for me anymore, but maybe others do.
