OK, I lied, one more question:

After I get the tiles from the rat room and capture the rat, how do I open the door? I put the tiles in the glass box and alligned them with the itty bitty lines on the separations, but the door won’t open.

Yay! I was seriously frustrated on the first two levels, and I pretty much trial-and-errored the long Intelli-code or whatever, but I finished it! _sits back, satisfied_

[spoiler]I’m not sure which part you mean by “square rectangle thing,” but I’m guessing you’re at the part with the lock that starts with the (mostly) happy faces?

Check the sequences of colors, numbers of sides, anything.[/spoiler]

**Anubis** You’ve got to put the rat on the lines. Click on the top part of the box so you don’t accident;y move the tiles.

You gotta put the trapped rat onto the lines and then close the bridge and walk out.

Egads, I’ve created a monster! =) If you go to the main page for the game, you can get a link to a forum discussing the game (mainly help on the puzzles, yay), and you can also sign up to be emailed when more work is done on the game.

It looks like most questions have been solved already…

**SopranoRosa** , welcome to the SDMB.

Look in the first room you entered, with the locked door. Make sure you examine everything …

Knowed:

The key here is to save electricity, so the machine will work.

You do that by not using electricity for other things and warming up the room.
