Hello, I have added a list of known bugs, none of them will prevent you from finishing the game, so just try to avoid them:

1: If you stand there (red rectangle) and press Enter or Z you will receive automatically a game over.

2: If you stop the time while the robot is located in that position and you stand on the button, you won't be able to move anymore.

3-NEVER DO THAT, you're going to get stuck in that room!

Well, I've tried the demo for around ten minutes and I'm already stuck in the tutorial. It seems like there's no way to solve the second puzzle. I've followed all the advice given, but none of them helped me.

1. Have you already tried to place the rock on the red surface?
Yes, I did.

2. Have you tried to hit the rock while you have the time stopped?
Yes, I did. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to place the rock on the red surface.

3. Lower the platform before the time returns to its normal course, otherwise, the rock will lose momentum.
I did this. Nothing happens.

4. I've told you everything! I'm starting to worry...
Well, me too.

I tried it for 20 - 25 minutes and I probably moved the stone everywhere possible while moving the platform randomly up and down several times because I don't know what else to do, but nothing happens. I gave up on it for now, because it seems like this puzzle cannot be solved.

You only need to:
1-Having the wall elevated. (the wall that rises and falls with the lever)
2-stop the time and place the ball on the red surface (the one facing the wall)
3- (with time stopped) press Z repeatedly in front of the ball, (in the direction of the wall that should be raised)
4- (with time still stopped) lower the wall.
5- ready! just let time go its normal way.

sorry for the lack of instructions, (it's something I'll fix) I hope you can finish it, the other puzzles are easier. AND you need take the box, (the one in the teleportation room) IT'S TOO IMPORTANT in order to have more orbs, you only need stop the time to take it.

If you don't understand a left you this video.

Thanks for the explanation and the video. That's what I would call good support. The following puzzles and the final boss were not that hard to overcome once I understood how timestop works and what I can do with it. But I wouldn't have figured that out all by myself. You better should add this explanation to the game.

Well, I've finished UAd in the meantime and I liked it a lot. The story has great potential and I'm very excited to see how it goes on. What else can be said? I really hope that you finish this. I would definitely play the full version.
