If you've played the original, or the even better update to that one, then you probably will be thrilled to know that Tony has just released a third game in this fantastic series that takes the concept of negative space and turns it upside-down. Shift 3 extends the familiar jump and run, puzzle-platformer formula by adding a few surprises.

Walkthrough Guide

(Please allow page to fully load for spoiler tags to be functional.)

Well, I'm going to take a stab at an Adventure-mode walkthrough, because I'm procrastinating on several other things. Here we gooooooo!

CONTROLS:
Left/Right Arrow Key - Left/Right
Up Arrow Key - Enter Door
Space Bar - Jump
Shift - Shift
P - Pause Menu

TERMS USED:
Holeplat - Platform activated by key
Checks - Checkerboard blocks removed by lightbulb
Gravs - Gravity changers activated by touch

OPENING SEQUENCE:

ROOM 1:

Oh, dear. This does not bode well for you, my friend. Go right, press up.

ROOM 2:

The Space Bar will let you jump across the gaps. If this poses a problem for you, might I suggest a game with a slower pace? I hear that Solitare is a lovely way to spend time, don't you know. Go right, press up.

ROOM 3:

Do you feel Deja Vu? No? Okay then. Jump across the gaps and climb the staircase. Jump onto the platform and grab the key. The holeplat will swing into place, providing safe passage below to the next room.

ROOM 4:

Well, I'm stuck. I can't make that jump.

Hee. Go to the bottom of the staircase and shift. Fall down the ledge and shift again. Jump the gap to the platform and CODING ERROR 2-618 WALKTHROUGH TERMINATED

Nah, joking. Continue up to the platform behind the code and go in that door. (Honesty? I forgot about that explosion bit there when I was writing this, and I actually jumped a little.)

ROOM 5:

Okay, several things to note here. Firstly, directly above you is a spinning blob. That's a newspaper piece. They're tricky to get, and you'll need them later, but when we can get these, I'll guide you through them. I love you thaaaaaat much. :D

Let's do what we can, then. Run down and hit the icon that looks like the eject button on your betamax/VCR/DVD/Blu-Ray player. That's a grav. These will be your best frenemy. In any event, shift once you hit that ledge.

Now we get the fun choice. Here's the PDA in front of you. If you take it here, you'll get a map and the ability to make notes. Now, you've got me, so notes aren't really necessary. You can grab it if you want, but completing the game without the PDA gives you an achievement. Your choice. Grab it or don't grab it, and shift back to whitespace, exiting the level.

ROOM 6:

Well, there's two doors? WHAT!? I'm puzzled and confused. It's hopeless.

Nah, not really. We can only get to one of them for now, so shift and jump across to the door on the ledge.

ROOM 7:

Hm. Did you grab the PDA? Because the map shows two exits here. One must be sooper-sekrit. Shift and run to the far right edge of the whitespace. Shift and grab the key to the left. Fall down the pit to your right.

Try something with me. Shift into whitespace so you're standing in front of the holeplat staircase you created with the key earlier. Try standing on the middle holeplat-step and jumping to your left.

Yeah, super-sekrit. How awesome is that? We're back in room 5. Shift and you'll get the newspaper piece easily. ...Hm. Is this the ad we responded to in order to get here? Also, January 18th, 2032? I knew it was some crazy-bizarre dystopia! HUXLEY CALLED IT!

Ahem. Sorry. More importantly, note the star-24 marking. This will become important later. For now, press space and continue falling.

Work your way back to room 7. You should be at the door you entered. Repeat the instructions from above so that you're back in your pit. Shift and collect the lightbulb. The checks around the key will clear. Shift back into black and hit the grav. Walk all the way right and then all the way left so that you hit the grav in the corner. Shift into white and collect the key. Something's happened somewhere. Standing where the key was, shift into black and go through the door we came in.

Also, wow, this was verbose.

ROOM 6 (again):

You see it, don't you? We've got us a platform, we do! Drop onto the holeplat and run left. We can't do anything yet as far as the newspaper piece goes, so jump over the spike pit and enter the black door.

REACTOR ROOM:

This is the reactor room. This is the main branching point for the game. The door you came in will lead back to the opening sequence, and the three doors ahead of you will go to paths 1, 2, and 3. I'll refer to rooms in these paths as 1-x, 2-x, or 3-x. You don't need to do these in any specific order, so pick whatever is appealing to you.

See that blocked off door? That's the final door. We need to get keys to remove those holeplats. Those will be in--you guessed it--paths 1, 2, and 3. Those are our goals. Hoorah.

PATH 1:

ROOM 1-1:

Go through the door for path 1. From the door, shift into blackspace and drop down to the bottom. Jump onto the block next to you and shift into whitespace. Jump to the platform to your left and grab the key.

That door rudely slammed in your face. Harumph! Drop down to the bottom, as far as you can go. Shift into black and hit the grav. Run to your left. Jump on the corner block, and then to the whiteblock to your right. Shift on that block.

Drop down to the platform below you and shift into the blackspace so that you can grab that grav. Hit it, and then run off the ledge to the bottom right corner. On that whiteblock, shift into whitespace. Hit the grav and go through the door.

ROOM 1-2:

Jump onto the blackblock and then onto the blackblock jutting out from the larger blackspace. Shift and hit the grav. Shift back into the main whitespace and go right. Jump left until you get to the T with the key. Shift and grab the key.

Hit the grav on the far-left. Run down towards the next key. Congrats! We've got our reactor room key. We've got to work our way back, so go back to the door we entered.

ROOM 1-1 (again):

Working our way back. Shift and drop down the black tunnel. Shift into whitespace and drop down to the door. Go right and collect the grav. Go down to the door. Congrats!

PATH 2:

ROOM 2-1:

Go through the door for Path 2.

Ooh, certain death! I'm so scared! Screw the game! Let's run down the staircase to your left, shift, and hit the grav directly above you. Shift into the door! WE TAKE WARNINGS FROM NO MAN!

ROOM 2-2:

I stand corrected. Well, I've wasted your time. Let's go back.

ROOM 2-1 (again):

Sorry. Hey, if you wanted a speedrun, you wouldn't be using a walkthrough as you go, right? Calm down, buddy.

Shift into blackspace and go right. The gravs will take you to safety. Shift back into whitespace.

Now, the tricky bit. You'll need to hit the three gravs on the fly. Remember that you'll need to change directions in mid-fall. Work your way to the flat safe space next to the spikes.

Shift into blackspace and hit the grav to your side. Don't touch the one that you will land next to; instead, shift into whitespace and collect the key. From where you are, shift, run across the holeplat, and shift again to get to the door.

ROOM 2-3:

Hm. I see two doors over there. Which shall we get? Let's find out! Shift into blackspace and go to the lowest point you can. Shift into whitespace. Go left and hit the left-grav. Jump onto the blackspace clump in the bottom-left corner and shift into that, grabbing the grav there. Shift into whitespace and drop down all the way towards the key.

Well, that's a mean little trick, game. One door's blocked off! Scoff, bother, offense! Jump up in front of the door. Be careful here; don't touch the grav in front of you! Shift around it so that you'll shift directly onto the other grav. Shift around the badgrav again and go through the door.

ROOM 2-4:

You know, I abhor jump puzzles. Srsly D:

Well, it's a relatively simple jump puzzle. Jump right all the way, then jump left. Shift into the blackspace on the far left and drop down so you can shift and get to the door.

Familiar, no? Go right and get your reactor key. Go back left and get back into 2-4.

But wait a sec. Something bothers me about those four blocks to your right. Do me a favor; jump those for me? (If you miss, don't bother going all the way back up; just hit the spikes. You'll respawn at the top door.)

AH-HA! MYSTERIOUS DOOR! EL PUERTO MISTERIOSO! I DON'T KNOW SPANISH! Go through it.

We're back in the certain death room! Get this key. Hm, it looks deliciously possible now, doesn't it? Go back through the door and run back down to the bottom-right door in 2-4.

ROOM 2-3 (again):

Run into the grav on your right, the one we avoided earlier. Shift directly onto the grav in the blackspace you landed on. Go down to the far left of this space and shift. Land on the jutting-out part of the pyramid-thing in the middle of the screen. Shift onto that grav. Jump all the way right and hit that grav. Run right and hit the final grav. Shift into whitespace and go through the door.

ROOM 2-1 (again?!):

Shift and run across the holeplat for me. Hit the grav we dodged earlier and shift into whitespace. We need to do the platjumping again, but in reverse this time. Jump over the spikes and make your way to the grav over the door. Don't go through the door.

Go back to the certain death door.

ROOM 2-2 (again):

Run right, hit the grav, and get your clipping. That family... it looks like you guys! And that text... it's got misspellings! And that red writing... that's a smileyface-18! That'll be significant later. Press space to continue falling. Hit the grav and go back through the door.

ROOM 2-1 (ye gods):

Make your way back to the starting point, same way as earlier. Did this really need a separate entry? No, no it didn't. But it has one anyway.

PATH 3:

ROOM 3-1:

Go as far right as you can, jumping as you go. Shift and collect that key. Shift again into whitespace, and run left. Go up that staircase and shift at the top of it. Drop down and hit that grav. Run off the ledge and aim for that pit in between the spikes. Shift and jump over the spikes to your left, hitting the grav in the bottom-left corner. Jump onto the blackblocks, shift, run down the pit, shift again, jump up on the blackdoorblock, shift, go through the door, etc, etc, etc.

ROOM 3-2:

Run and jump left onto the blackblock with the grav. Shift again and run left. Shift and go right, landing on the whiteblock in the corner. Jump onto the whiteblock above the key. Shift and get the key, then drop onto the grav and go through the door.

ROOM 3-1 (again):

We can now get to that other door. Shift and jump across to the grav in front of the spikes. Jump up the staircase, shift, drop down so that you land on the nook in the cliff next to the door. Shift and drop down to the door.

ROOM 3-3:

Do you feel Deja Vu? No? Okay then. Jump across the gaps and climb the staircase. Jump onto the platform and grab the key. That's a reactor key. Tee hee, it's a little screw-you. But... something bothers me about that door. Do me a favor? Jump back to the top of the staircase and shift. Jump up, and... AHHHHHHH, YOU TRICKY FIEND! Jump up and grab the key. Shift and go through the door. Go through and grab the newspaper piece. Shiny newspaper, how I love thee. Heart-33? Let's make a note! Leave here. Work your way back to 3-3's entry door.

ROOM 3-1 (again?!):

Drop down to the bottom-left door.

With the paths done, it's time to charge forward! Onto:

THE FINAL AREA

Go through the final area door. Run right, get the grav. Run right, and get the key. Run left, and get the grav.

STOP.

Something's changed somewhere. Let's go back. Run left, down to the first door. Run left again in the reactor room towards that grav. Shift a bit until you're on the door in the opening sequence.
ROOM 6:

Ah-ha. Go right, get the grav. You can work it out. Plus-71? Nice. Go back to the reactor room. Go back to the final area door.

Repeat the sequence, but go through the other door.

Climb the tower.

Go to the top. Shift if you want to; the game will let you retry.

The sequence is:

Heart 33

Plus 71

Star 24

Smileyface 18

.

Enjoy the end sequence. You've won.

That's the end of it. My time in this walkthrough was 4082.3 seconds. Granted, I was writing. Heh. Enjoy the game. Play the level packs, make your own, get the achievements. Rock on!

Secret Character is

Mel Gibson

(really not :P just a joke to mess with you,[creator said so at the end :P])

jjjjj • July 3, 2008 3:16 AM

The 'Shift' games remind me of 'Yin Yang' by Nitrome.
Both are awesome.
Anyone else agree?

fattywads

• July 3, 2008 3:39 AM

is it just me or do the little arrows which flip the screen not work half the time leaving you constantly stuck next to some spikes? like shift one and 2 this one is unplayable.

fattywads

• July 3, 2008 3:40 AM

maybe i should have said i liked shift one and two; this one is unplayable.

Psychotronic

• July 3, 2008 3:50 AM

Secret character:

No, it really is Mel Gibson. When you play as Mel, the stages are blue and white, like his face in Braveheart.

joshysquashy

• July 3, 2008 4:42 AM

How do you get all the newspapers? I have the heart and the cross, but not the star or the smilie.

This is a great game, this version of shift feels much more of a complete game.

Anonymous • July 3, 2008 4:50 AM

How do i pass the fake door. Don't understand?!

Desperate • July 3, 2008 5:11 AM

The smilie is easy I think

go through the door where there is written something like "passing this door leads to certain death" keep in mind though that you have to get a certain key in an other room first you can reach through the second door

For the star that's a completly differrent matter

it's the paper in the 5th room, but you can't reach it like that. so you have to go to the room connected to 5 & 6 there is a secret door in a corner that leads you directly to the newspaper

IceBreak • July 3, 2008 5:17 AM

Got cross

Damn, I'm missing two newspapers (cross and star) and it seems like I can't go back further than the reactor room... :(

Nevermind, should've palyed a bit further...

Wooty tooty! \o/

Ogremindes

That was fun. I was missing one of the codes at the end, but with only one missing it was easy to brute force.

Peter

• July 3, 2008 7:13 AM

emöjk, you should post a walkthrough.

I found so far:
heart

in the 'deja vu' room (third room behind rector door 3)

for lock, shift to black on the right side

smiley

if i remember right, at the 'pixel perfect jumping' room

there is a hidden door on the upper right corner

:) if i find the rest i will complete the walkthrough :)

ThemePark

• July 3, 2008 7:28 AM

How do you get the cross?

I know where the newspaper clipping is, but I can't see how to get to it. Unfortunately I also came from the door to the reactor room, so it seems I might not be able to get it.

Peter

• July 3, 2008 7:31 AM

Just found the cross:

at the tutorial levels i have seen the newspaper! just one room back :) where it explains that some keys unlock other rooms

ThemPark: just jump over the arrow, and you'll fall on the newspaper :)

ThemePark

• July 3, 2008 7:41 AM

Peter:

http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/240/shift3en7.png

So I'm pretty sure I'm stuck. The only way I can see, is to move the lock I'm standing on, but I'm pretty sure I've been around everywhere and taken every key.

Sheer_Cold • July 3, 2008 7:46 AM

Can't get the star...

It's in the 5th room from the start.
Right before it starts branching. I think I got the PDA here too. Help?

Peter

• July 3, 2008 7:48 AM

ThemePark

you can unlock that door from the first room of the reactor. then return. How did you get star??

Probably through the hidden exit from the "if the map shows two exits" - room, but where is that?!

Peter

• July 3, 2008 8:00 AM

Ok found them all (i guess ?)

for the star

there is a hidden exit from the "if the map shows two exits"

on the upper left corner

I am way not sure if walkthrough is complete :)

ThemePark

• July 3, 2008 8:01 AM

Most awesome secret character EVER!

Who would've ever thought Mel Gibson himself would be in Shift 3?!?

Maqrkk

• July 3, 2008 8:32 AM

Lol @ Secret Char!

Haha, Mel Gibson, so funny :D

About the Player packs though, I'm stuck on the first level in the Assorted Player pack.. anyone?

Deja vu • July 3, 2008 8:37 AM

I almost died of laughter when I got to the ending:

¡MEL GIBSON! Good one.

Yeah, and he is amazing :D

except when I got to the last key I tried a good 15 times and he would not jump the gap so I couldn't finish.
Maybe they should name this level shift hell

Jenny • July 3, 2008 10:56 AM

Im at the same place as themepark, but I found no key in reactor room 1. What am I supposed to do there?

Jens • July 3, 2008 10:59 AM

Lovely as always, but does someone know how you can get the 'Roast Hog' achievement?

anonymous • July 3, 2008 11:12 AM

heres the code:

71-33-24-18

i think the game was awesome! and it reminded me of Ying Yang too

=D • July 3, 2008 11:25 AM

the code is:

33-71-24-18

it was funner than the first two because you could save it. and it reminded me of Ying Yang, both are fun. it was kinda surprising that Mel Gibson was the secret character!

Da_bevur • July 3, 2008 11:49 AM

on the screen with the window showing the earth, wait about 3 mins or so

Sam (Creative, isn't it?) • July 3, 2008 12:38 PM

Does anyone know how to get the roast or quitter badges? Those are the only ones I know need.

Anonymous • July 3, 2008 12:44 PM

Quitter Achievement:

While playing the game, go to the menu and quit

Sam (Creative, isn't it?) • July 3, 2008 12:53 PM

The Classic Character is even better than the Mel Gibson one! It also comes with

a picture of a cat!

• July 3, 2008 1:04 PM

if(shiftMan.hitTest(fakeDoor)) {
explosion()
shiftMan.xSpeed = 80
explosionex???
fakeDoor.gotoAndStop("crumpled")
realDoor._visible = true
}

I got this on the third (?) level. The one where you can hit the "shift" key and it turns upside down. I think I pressed the shift key and the jump key together and this happened. Anyway, I made it to the door but now can not go through the door when pressing the up arrow key.

Anyone else get this? I am using firefox.

racerx • July 3, 2008 1:17 PM

@4red3s:

It's called humor ;-)

If you look closely you'll see that *another* door appears on that level after the explosion.

If you read the "code" that appears, you should get the joke, if you've ever done any programming at all (particularly object-oriented coding).

• July 3, 2008 2:15 PM

I am having a problem with the "shift" key and something in windows that has popped up 2 times. It seems that when I press the shift key 5 times in succession winders has to notify me because obviously I am not smart enough to know what keys I am pressing on the keyboard. The first time it happened I clicked on OK and then when I pressed the shift key the computer beeped at me. Not through the sound card but the computer. Then the second time it happened I clicked on CANCEL and the game window shut down.

Darn. Lunch is over. Maybe I can come back later.

Have fun and a Happy and Safe 4th of July. Don't let your watermelons play with firecrackers!

Not really. It's actually

RacerX

• July 3, 2008 2:29 PM

Level 5 of the Azurieq player pack:

Shift, run along bottom, hit trigger, jump up and shift again

Fall to middle section (not bottom), shift, move left past checked block, shift again,

Fall to lower section (NOT bottom), shift, fall and hit trigger in central black section

shift, hit trigger in white area next to spikes

shift again, move left past spikes, shift, fall to bottom

hit key along bottom, move right to top of block on bottom, jump left (you can just make it)

shift, fall down twice to hit trigger. Now that the key has been activated you can get out of that area

shift, move right past locked area, shift

fall down, move left, jump up and shift again. Fall to bottom

jump on block on right again, jump to left (that *long* jump again), shift

move right (DON'T fall down long drop). Jump right, shift.

move right, fall down.

And you're done! ;-)

Racer, could you please tell us how you beat level 6? I'm completely stuck.

KingofTown • July 3, 2008 2:53 PM

I can't use the 'R' for restart in the Player levels. All that happens is my guy dies...and the stars burst from him. Then, a few stars remain on screen...and nothing happens.

Happens when using the secret character. Maybe I'll try not using him.

Flower

• July 3, 2008 3:12 PM

I'm also having trouble with AZURIEQ Level 6...anyone able to help? :o(

mixedmetaphor

• July 3, 2008 3:14 PM

"R" not working in Player levels -- so weird, that was happening to me too, when playing as the secret character, but I tried playing as the normal character, and it restarted just fine. Maybe now I can actually get through those Azurieq levels!

Flower

• July 3, 2008 3:17 PM

Ooh, I think I've figured it out...

skip the first key you come to for the time being

DisplacedAvenger • July 3, 2008 3:20 PM

Don't use either the secret celebrity character or the classic character in the player pack levels; there seems to be a bug that prevents the level from resetting after your death animation. That is, as mixedmetaphor ran into, you see stars and then...nothing. None of your controls work.

RacerX

• July 3, 2008 3:26 PM

Azurieq Level 6 (this was tricky, but short!):

jump right, *missing* the left key

hit the middle key, landing back on the middle platform

jump left to the left key, platform will move under you

jump right, hitting newly revealed middle key, fall to lower platform

jump left to gravity switch, fall to bottom

run left, jump on block

jump, hit key, land on block, jump, hit next key, land on block

jump left, shift, hit gravity switch

switch into door area

Done! Easier then you thought, wasn't it! ;-)

KingofTown • July 3, 2008 3:26 PM

R works for the original character. It seems the actionscript waits for the 'death animation' to finish before restarting. The secret character has a different death animation....which never actually finishes on the player packs. So, the actionscript never fires.

Also, about the secret secret character...

That is just mean! I laughed, then I cried. How could someone be so mean... he even lied about the cat :(

For the Assorted Player Pack, it automatically starts me at Level 6 every time. Anyone else having this problem?

Anonymous • July 3, 2008 7:14 PM

I thought it was kind of weird that

the secret character was mel gibson

Anonymous • July 3, 2008 7:44 PM

Anyone else get to level 5 of the Assorted Player Pack? It looks unbeatable to me, because

you start out at the very bottom, with nothing to shift to, only a bunch of spikes.

Help, please?

ThemePark

• July 3, 2008 7:56 PM

Gammler, yes I'm having the exact same problem.

4red3s, when you press the Shift key 5 times you activate an Accessibility Option called StickyKeys. To turn it off, go to Control Panel, Accessibility Options, look under the tab Keyboard, and click the Settings button under StickyKeys. Disable the checkmark in Use shortcut, and you shouldn't have that problem anymore.

Well, I'm going to take a stab at an Adventure-mode walkthrough, because I'm procrastinating on several other things. Here we gooooooo!

CONTROLS:
Left/Right Arrow Key - Left/Right
Up Arrow Key - Enter Door
Space Bar - Jump
Shift - Shift
P - Pause Menu

TERMS USED:
Holeplat - Platform activated by key
Checks - Checkerboard blocks removed by lightbulb
Gravs - Gravity changers activated by touch

OPENING SEQUENCE:

ROOM 1:

Oh, dear. This does not bode well for you, my friend. Go right, press up.

ROOM 2:

ROOM 3:

ROOM 4:

Well, I'm stuck. I can't make that jump.

Hee. Go to the bottom of the staircase and shift. Fall down the ledge and shift again. Jump the gap to the platform and CODING ERROR 2-618 WALKTHROUGH TERMINATED

Nah, joking. Continue up to the platform behind the code and go in that door. (Honesty? I forgot about that explosion bit there when I was writing this, and I actually jumped a little.)

ROOM 5:

ROOM 6:

Well, there's two doors? WHAT!? I'm puzzled and confused. It's hopeless.

Nah, not really. We can only get to one of them for now, so shift and jump across to the door on the ledge.

ROOM 7:

ROOM 6 (again):

REACTOR ROOM:

PATH 1:

ROOM 1-1:

ROOM 1-2:

ROOM 1-1 (again):

Working our way back. Shift and drop down the black tunnel. Shift into whitespace and drop down to the door. Go right and collect the grav. Go down to the door. Congrats!

PATH 2:

ROOM 2-1:

ROOM 2-2:

I stand corrected. Well, I've wasted your time. Let's go back.

ROOM 2-1 (again):

ROOM 2-3:

ROOM 2-4:

ROOM 2-3 (again):

ROOM 2-1 (again?!):

ROOM 2-2 (again):

ROOM 2-1 (ye gods):

Make your way back to the starting point, same way as earlier. Did this really need a separate entry? No, no it didn't. But it has one anyway.

PATH 3:

ROOM 3-1:

ROOM 3-2:

ROOM 3-1 (again):

ROOM 3-3:

ROOM 3-1 (again?!):

Drop down to the bottom-left door.

With the paths done, it's time to charge forward! Onto:

THE FINAL AREA

Ah-ha. Go right, get the grav. You can work it out. Plus-71? Nice. Go back to the reactor room. Go back to the final area door.

Repeat the sequence, but go through the other door.

Climb the tower.

Go to the top. Shift if you want to; the game will let you retry.

The sequence is:

Heart 33

Plus 71

Star 24

Smileyface 18

.

Enjoy the end sequence. You've won.

That's the end of it. My time in this walkthrough was 4082.3 seconds. Granted, I was writing. Heh. Enjoy the game. Play the level packs, make your own, get the achievements. Rock on!

I'm also having a hard time getting through lvl 5 of assorted pack. help anyone?

Anonymous • July 3, 2008 11:35 PM

No, really, Saturn500, they're having trouble, and no one's explained it. There are three extra packs, and the "assorted" one has a doozy at level 5. At least in my game. All spikes, no clear way to do anything at all except die repeatedly.

schep

• July 3, 2008 11:39 PM

I'm guessing there's something currently buggy about Assorted 5. You can jump over the first set of two spikes, but then there's nothing else safe to do.

Black Drazon

• July 3, 2008 11:42 PM

Odd. Perhaps because of the second update to the game, I always end up starting the Assorted Pack in level 6. I picked up the game around 6 o'clock EST and went straight to the player packs as I was expecting a phone call and the Adventure Mode said it was long... not sure. I'll be sure to check it out again if it's ever fixed, though. Shift Adventure was awesome, but Classic Shift is always good too.

Gar

• July 4, 2008 1:02 AM

Hooray, closure. I'd like to have had descriptions or hints of the achievements, but many of them were pretty easy to figure out (with the possible exception of the one or two most frequently asked here about even after the guide was posted)

Shifting looks great in the context of the game, but if it came to reality, it probably wouldn't be all that useful, except for hiding or something.

neqe • July 4, 2008 1:53 AM

Can't get past level 5 in the assorted player pack, it seems like some kind of bug, the lock wall flicks away in the top right corner, and there's nothing i can do but maim myself on the spikes.
I'm using Safari, does it work if you use a different browser or is everyone having this problem?

Nori • July 4, 2008 3:00 AM

Assorted player pack level 5 looks like this map,except this map is clearable.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znvp8MxQobs

Maybe they tried to put this map but with corrupted data?

jan.jan

Have got the same problem as neqe on level 5 of the assorted player pack.

Alden • July 4, 2008 7:10 AM

Same problem here with assorted level 5 :P

Also, according to the "best time" scoreboard, someone managed to do the entire thing in 23.5 seconds. That's... not actually possible, surely?

ThemePark

• July 4, 2008 9:59 AM

Yep, there's definitely something wrong with the data for Assorted level 5. The right side is very different from the actual map as shown on that video.

Anonymous • July 4, 2008 11:42 AM

When I played the player's pack, I guess it automatically took me to Level 6 - I only had to do one level to finish and get the achievement. I consider it a reward for putting up with Mel Gibson's restart bug.

Help Me • July 4, 2008 11:55 AM

Someone should make a walkthrough for all the player packs.

(I am stuck on level 3 on the last one)

baba44713

• July 4, 2008 12:09 PM

I loved playing through the game the first time, but trying to finish it as Mel Gibson is infuriating. He's so slow and fat and his "humorous" Braveheart references get old pretty fast.

But I must try to finish the game anyways cause I'm eager to unlock the Super Mario character, which I think you get right after you beat the game as Condoleezza Rice.

Allie

• July 4, 2008 12:54 PM

i am also having the same problem with level 5 in the assorted pack. I am using Internet Explorer... so i guess it is a bug

i can't beat level 5 of the assorted pp either. Someone please say how to beat it

Kari • July 4, 2008 2:35 PM

I'm stuck on level 3 of the assorted pack... could someone stuck on level 5 maybe post a walkthrough? :)

sneael • July 4, 2008 3:15 PM

the secret character is

fancy pants the guy says say its mel but its actually fancy pants

sum dude • July 4, 2008 4:33 PM

If you read the description in the youtube video, the same guy asked for him to play the level, and is in the special thanks area.

Meaning that it was probably a memory loss situation.

Level 5 on the assorted pack is fixed. The code got corrupted.

Sario88 • January 9, 2009 7:30 AM

For the roast hog,

When you get to the windowed room when going up the tower, stand there. After about ten seconds (tops) the hedgehog from hedgehog launcher flys by (isn't he cute!). Wait till he burns up and bum ba ba bum, there's your (probably if you're like me and could get everything else on your own) last achievement.

Luke • February 13, 2009 11:22 PM

I loved this game! Thanks for all the help regarding levels and such.

By the way, I couldn't believe the secret celebrity character was...

Mel Gibson! Who would have guessed?

Actually, Mel Gibson is a lie!

Just pulling your leg again, it is obviously Mel.

If Fancy Pants guy's name is really Mel, then yes.

JK! Mel Gibson is not Fancy pants man.

Well, Mel Gibson isn't really the character, it's Fancy Pants man! Don't believe me? Then BEAT THE GAME N00Bs!

Imagine that!
