Possible exploits [spolers inside]
I will make here a list of weird solutions i came up with.

I'd like the author to answer if he considers this a bug or acceptable solution.

Unfortunately i'm not able to record those.

World 1 - Guards are friend too!
There is that statue u can jump on. I think its the only way to get the star but it makes the puzzle kind of pointless


World 3 - Milky Way Lovers
You can brake the red laser line with blue one by connecting a connector with the connector from outside the riddle (the one we use to get the star)

Not sure what the intended solution is but if it is to lead both colors to the connector next to two red lock then i guess it's not much of an exploit

World 5 - Plagued by Crises
You can use a jammer from Domino to jam one the gates between fans. That allows you to get the sigil ignoring the laser.


World 5 - Split personality
You can also get from here to laser behind double gate in Plagued by Crises. You can take a jammer with you.

Near the red laser in Plagued by Crises you can jump on box->statue->wall to get here and bring some stuff with you.


World 6 - Poppy in Tears
When u jump over the fence where the jammer is u can pick it and jump back at the box.
Now record jammer jamming the first gate and them jump the other.

In detour stack boxes like this:

now take the jammer out and bring it to the entrance of this puzzle. you can jam some gates here.

later take that jammer and jam the turret guarding the star

Thanks, Kazz
Every sigil puzzle can be solved with its own staffs.

I have fixed what you said in Poppy in Tears by raising the height of the fence.

I have found your solution in Milky Way Lovers, and it is amazing.

I also notice that u remove that rock in Split personality so now that's a fix.

I must say this is the hardest puzzle set yet, very well done, and the hardness actually lies in figuring out the solution not executing it, i like that.

btw i really like that u actually fixing all that stuff, all other makers (including croteam) are like "we highly encourage thinking out of the box" -_-

Why did you deleted what you found in "Split Personailty". I cannot find the position where you can jam to Plagued by Crises in Split Personailty.

inside where the terminal for the star is, there was a rock to get out. You could jump in there, take the cube, put the cube on the rock, jump on it then on the wall

@Kazz OK, in last update the rock has disappeared.

Found an exploit in world 3 (level: Milky Way Lovers).

- place a cube near any wall and then place a connector on it.
- start flying by means of the fan (start form the lft side!)
- during the flight, change direction (about 90 degrees anti-clockwise, very carefully!)

Landing on the wall is possible, but the chance is low (only up to 5-8%).
That allows the player to:
- walk on the wall and get the sigil (but it's harder than the intended solution)
- solve 'Suspend' level more easily
- get the second star*

*Jumping on the wooden fence is necessary to collect the star.
