There aren't any cheats that allow you to bypass solving the levels, but there are a few things that can help you with hidden information:

the 'y' key shows the alternate layer (what's "behind" the tiles you see)
the 'd' key shows the destination of panels and teleporters and remotes
the 'n' key shows the order of bots

Also don't forget to make liberal use of undo and the bookmarks system!!

You can also read escape.txt for descriptions of the various tiles and bots. That might help a bit. Or, ask here for spoilers on specific levels!

I downloaded your game and its really fun, it reminds me of a game on my moms old computer called Chips Challange... but I am having a hard time with some of the levels... I cant seem to beat them, I was wondering if you have any cheats? lol the ones that have those bounce ball things, the red, blue, green and gray ones> idk how they work!
thanks!

I'd like to believe the customer service people walked away saying "Can you believe this guy? He has the most ridiculous assertions and no grasp of simple math!", and then spread the recorded audio among their friends for giggles until they eventually ended up red-faced in front of a supervisor with some sense.

This one time I went to a Taco Bell with a 0.002 dollar bill and they would not accept it as legal tender.

It's obviously a difference of opinion.

5266. Tom 7 (gs82.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 11 Dec 2006 16:58:24 [ Most frustrating customer service call ever ]

They're both the same if you look at them paper wise.

I got a beautiful laugh out of this when I first saw it. "There's no such thing as .002 dollars." Classic..

Yes! I hated mouse-warp! I always figured it was some unavoidable SDL bug.

Actually, I think it's just that I have been getting radar spam (usually on several entries all at the same time) and so the last updated time looks low, but I've deleted the entries so you don't see 'em...

RC: Actually, don't do that, there is a better way. In the game, navigate to the triage directory and press ctrl-0 (zero). Then type the name of the player file whose solutions you'd like to import. It will take care of the rest. This doesn't merge bookmarks, however, and might solve some levels automatically that you never actually really solved (these are usually the really trivial levels though, so no real harm done..).
