General hints thread

[Hempuli]

Feel free to make a new thread if you're stuck, but you can ask for specific hints here as well!

Keep in mind that the game was built around the idea that you can pick your levels pretty freely; almost every area starts with slightly easier levels so it may even be a good idea to check out early levels in other areas before doing the final levels of an area.

By the way: for those stuck on Prison - in the first post-release patch the word "Move" will be gone. The level will stay otherwise the same.

I'm a bit confused by this, because I thought the whole point of the level was to understand that inactive objects can have text pushed over them. If the intended solution is to have one character push text over another while controlling both...that seems a little cheap? There isn't really any way I would have guessed that characters you're controlling aren't "solid" while being you - I suppose it makes sense but it's kind of a leap in logic. Also wouldn't limiting the player's moveset to that extent make the level extremely easy?

Absolutely love the game and happy to see what comes next.

Hint you need a SINK & PUSH obj on left side
Sln SINK WORD "WATER", make COG IS SINK, SINK SKULL

While I'm here, does anyone have help for Fall - 12? It's the only level I can't figure out in this world.
I assume the solution must involve making "NOT ROCK IS PUSH" and shoving the water around in order to eventually make "NOT BABA IS NOT YOU", but I can't seem to clear water in such a way that i could actually push the left "NOT" to join the rest of the sentence

You've got the right idea, but when you are done pushing around the water, remember that you can go back and restore ROCK IS PUSH and shove the left-over rocks into the water to make a bit more room.

Right, I get that, but I can't figure out how to use the rocks in such a way that i'll have enough space in front of NOT. There's always a bit of water left over in the way.

I'm stuck on Broken playground. I saw the spoiler hunts for it earlier but still stumped.

Edit: got it

[Slime Nyan]

Scenic Pond still has me stumped.
Edit: Literally after I say this the answer comes to me.

Any hints for Fall-3: Rocky Road? No idea what I'm trying to do here honestly.

push the leaf next to “push” then push “push” onto the leaf. This will make the teleported pushable every other time step (a button on the controller to skip a time step).

Now teleport yourself through and push the other leaf onto the water blocking your way.

Level is win

I'm also stuck on Cavern 1: mouse hole
Tried everything I can think of but I can't get a rock out of the corridor or a key in it

I'm not sure what you're talking about; the leaves on Rocky Road cause defeat and aren't pushable.

I need help with Ruins-9: Walls of Gold. I can't WIN using Rock or Wall (they are PUSH and STOP respectively and neither can be changed.), and I can't make Ice or Baba WIN (and Ice is STOP anyway).

[LupisLight]

NVV, Figured it out on my own. Guess you could say I really rocked that WIN! *rimshot*
