After playing a bit of this I feel I underpaid, any way to up my payment?

I don't think they have implemented that feature yet. Although, they have talked about it. Mike, how's 'bout it?

I also want to know what this "special IGS achievement" is I got. I don't' see any reference to it? ... is it part of the future IGS site layout?

When it says special IGS achievement, I interpreted that as an additional (in game) achievement exclusive to the IGS bonus version rather than the debut of some kind of IGS achievement tracker.

prob right... was just a bit ambiguous.

Yes, it's an in-game achievement.

Hi, has anyone run into a similar problem as i do?

- The game starts to load, loading bar finishes to load and the game crashes to desktop.

Any help will be appreciated

Edit:
Nvm, its sorted out now

Hi,

I just got the same problem.
Game worked well for up to 82% besides some script errors, but they did not interfere gaming, so I could go on.
But yesterday the game crashed in the action to desktop.
Now it will not start again whatever I do.
I deinstalled it and installed it again several times, deleted any mobiloid entry manually from registry but it wont help.
It starts to load until the loading bar is around 95% full and then it crashes to desktop an no mobiloid process is running afterwards (checked via process explorer).
Any help would be recommended to get the game running again in order to get playing it to the end.

Concerning the gameplay it is a great game - I enjoyed it very much until the breakdown.

Best regards

Hi,

Maybe try redownlaoding/installing again- there was a problem with a previous version of the game (but i can see it is updated already on Indiegamestand), which should be resolved already.

Make sure NOT TO use version 145

EDIT:
Just double-checked- 146 works fine on my pc.

Loving this game, it's got fantastic level design. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to activate the turnip switches though? I've got the flat nut and it slots right in there but then I don't know what to do with it Do they have to be done in order? I went for the one under the roller first since I can't find my way to the south switch yet.

You need to spin them using the flatnut.

I finally got around to trying this out (it's really great!) and seem to have found myself stuck after getting the grappling beam and, presumably, right before getting the spring.

Any chance one of you who's gotten past this point could give me a hint? I can grapple up to the top platform in the spring's room, but haven't found any way of using that topmost track to get close enough to the grapple point on the left, right below the spring.

I haven't managed to build anything that really lets me use the fastest wheels on the track, but after many attempts I'm not so sure going faster there -- or maybe even using that track at all -- is really the solution?

Using the topnut and two thrusters you should be able to go along the track fast enough to land on the small platform at the other side. Do you have those parts?

Thanks, that did the trick. The thing I was missing was that mass/inertia plays a role at all in such a situation. All it took was removing all a bunch of extraneous parts to lower mass, but this happens to be a spot with a fairly long delay between experimental attempts, so your reply was perfect. Thanks again!
