[http://www.newttt.com/t1/](http://www.newttt.com/t1/) From what I understand, this is a new version, so if you’ve already done it, look again. It’s frustrating and horrible and makes me feel like an idiot and I hate it. It’s all these weird little pictures that you’re supposed to figure out and then the answer is the password to the next level. So I suck at this, but I thought other people might either find it fun or hate it as much as I do but maybe be able to help me solve the ones I can’t get. My rules for this thread are that the words “don’t think too hard” are forbidden. The forum and facebook page have that as a “hint” for every level and it doesn’t help at all and I hate it. It’s also just a fake-nice way of saying, “it’s so easy you must be a total moron if you don’t get it.” I’m stuck on an embarrassing level 6 out of like… 100 I think. ---

…This game makes me feel stupid. ---

I got up to level 4 - I don’t even know what the clue means. Couldn’t do level 1 of the so-called “toddler levels”. This is insane! ---

I got stuck in the tutorial. Figured out that the third step probably referred to Super Mario, but have no idea what he “eats”. ---

I’m on the fourth level of the toddler level. Hee hee. We’ll see if I ever get off there. 😛 ---

The password is the combination of all the things. The title says “He jumps in pipes”. The mouseover is “He throws turtle shells”, etc. The password is Mario ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > That’s where I am now, too. Is there any music playing that might help? It’s a song, part of which is in what I think is French, about being on the radio. No idea of the band or anything else. Together with the picture of the radio, the title of the page being “Radio Rumble”, I’m guessing the theme is the radio. But no clue as to the red overmarking, the numbers or the “what’s next in the perfect pattern” clue. ---

I love puzzles… …and I lost interest a third of the way through the first screen of the tutorial. ---

The answer to the radio rumble level is just one character. If you can’t get it, just try everything on your keyboard. ---
