The oak forest guides your way to the stars... if you can find it.
The door was actually a don't-oor.
Who put those spikes there?! ...right, it was me. I'm the developer. I forgot.
Plumbing and hovercar repairs can't be THAT different, right?
If the Blood Room is so great, why didn't they make the Blood Room 2?
PlaceHolder holds its ground but somehow manages to encounter you anyway
What if Wet-Dry World but flat
One of the bugfixes is turning the chains gold instead of dark gray, so you can actually see them against the dark gray background.
