I found a bunch of (imo) much easier breaks on C5, I didn't need the cube to get the jammer on the post jamming the fizzler which was nice, I also just got the out of Time flies and stacked them to get directly into the other the sigil chambers

kinda funny how it isn't pointed out that "Carrier Pigeons" is easily achieved if you just reset the puzzle and run straight for the sigil before the blue laser fully connects, lmao

As far as i can tell, this guide works fine. That i cant do all the 'breaks' doesn't seem to be related to any "fixes, more the not great jumping mechanics :P

It wasn't ment or a complaint or anything, I was merely pointing it out. When I see runs like yours, something in me wants to recreate them, but in this case it was just way too frustrating for me personally :steamhappy:

Yeah, I acknowledge that these solutions are not necessarily easier ways to complete levels. It was intended as a challenge to simply see if every puzzle in the game was breakable, and despite my initial suspicions that some things would not be breakable, it turns out that they all are which I think is pretty cool.

Some of your "shortcuts" are cool, some are just aggrevating. I just spent 2 hours trying to use your B2 guide....as it turns out it takes much longer than simply solving the riddles.
Conclusion: I ended up finishing the map in less than 5 minutes (the legitimate way)

Oh this is just wonderful. So far I've only watched Episode 1, but already I can tell this will be quite entertaining.

Look like they're all there today. I even had a buddy try (yesterday, when they "weren't there") and he said it was blank. Both on desktops. All i can surmise is there was a problem on Steam's end at that time. Looks like it's all working now.
