It scares the bejeezes out of me when I fall off without expecting it. It feels like I personally fell off a cliff by accident. ---

[QUOTE=StinkyBurrito] It scares the bejeezes out of me when I fall off without expecting it. It feels like I personally fell off a cliff by accident. [/QUOTE] Me too. The first few times, I involuntarily gasped each time I fell off. It’s still pretty freaky. ---

Still working on 30, but if anybody wants to know the order for 29: Label the switches from 1-6, clockwise, starting at the exit. The order will be 5, 2, 3, 6, 1,4 ---

You can find all the levels played out on youtube, just search for ‘bloxorz’. You can also find the cheat codes to any level by googling. I wouldn’t recommend this all the time, but sometimes it is just more fun to get past a sticking point level and play one that you can actually get through. ---
