Found a way to reach what looks like an unintended area

[McFrugal]

So, I opened a Hidden Path which sent me to an earlier stage, and I wanted to backtrack further but couldn't remember where to go; it seemed like I was in a dead end.
The hidden path leads to an infinite stairwell, which leads to this room in the middle through four doors, which has one intended exit that I could find.

The problem arose when I decided to walk on the ceiling in the stairwell. I found a way to slip between the floors:

For whatever reason, walking down/up the stairs like that allows you to bypass some of the warps, which means you can get to this strange place:

There's a solid floor below me. Above me is what looks like white empty space, and if I fall into it I get warped to a similar area but with the floor below me again (so I fall safely and don't outright escape the level), which seems to be on the other side of the intended playing area. I can go to the stairwell and walk just past the floor, which allows me to see the intended looping area inside the stairwell. Very interesting. Even looking at the level design from an unintended perspective which breaks part of the illusion, I can't tell how it works!

It's not too hard to return to the normal stairwell.

Oh that's how you got there! I was looking at the screenshots section and saw these images, and I thought the world wrapping had gotten broken in this level. I actually reported it as a bug.

So basically in this particular level, the "inside" tower has two portals, one at the top and one at the bottom. When you reach one it teleports you to the other, so the player is always inside but has the illusion that the tower is infinite.

We didn't realize there was a gap that you could slip through to get on the other side of the portals. The white you're seeing is the "sky" - the actual background color of the engine.

We should probably seal the gap, but it sounds like it actually provides an interesting perspective and some insight into how the game works behind the scenes.

[McFrugal]

Oh, of course, portals.
There's several gaps like that, not just the one pictured... actually now that I go back and look around more you can reach the warpless stairwell path by walking on the walls on the inside and falling through some sections that don't have glass.

Great game by the way!

Just came across this today. I managed to get to it by slipping into a crack in the long hallway connected to this area, then walked down the stairs, then fell down a couple of platforms. Odd thing is the arches that would connect to the room with the yellow tree are absent, as well as the door leading to another room. Kinda neat to get a peak backstage, so to speak.
