Escape room level

Had an idea when playing the solar system level (when I had to spin the floor because Neptune was blocking a bit of wall), that moving items to complete tasks would make for a great level.

Then I thought you could combine that with a whole load of puzzles where you couldn't move on unless you did something correctly.

The functionality to build levels and make them grow already exists (public convenience level /Inside Temple level etc), and there are loads of ways you could make a level interactive.

For example, in the first room you have to move a ball along a maze using the red nozzle, and when you find the correct route the door to the next room opens.

Perhaps in the next room, you have to clean buttons in a particular order. Get the order wrong and the room resets and you have to start cleaning again and try a different order(that functionality to reset areas already exists - would be cool if an alarm went off and loads of dirt got dumped on what you'd already cleaned!)

Maybe in the next room you have to draw shapes in the dirt to uncover a clue to where the button to escape is, or complete a dot to dot puzzle...

I think there could be lots of different puzzles and it would be a cool way to bring more interaction into the game. What do you think?

40% of the Ferris Wheel level isn't Ferris Wheel

A lot of people don't seem to like the Ferris Wheel level. I happen to love it because I prefer to play the game using parkour rather than ladders - and this level is one of the best to parkour in.

​

But, if you don't like this level, perhaps you'll give it another go once you learn that 40% of the level isn't actually Ferris Wheel (and, in fact, it's even less Ferris Wheel if you don't count the A-frame and centre supports!)

Mandela effect

Currently on my sixth or seventh play through of PWS1. On the Temple level and I'm absolutely positive these figureheads never had horns on before.

​

I'm adamant that there were four horse heads you need to clean and I'm sitting here wondering either a) why they would update the game to change the head, or b) why I'm slowly going insane

The playground has the most floor

In PWS1, 44% of the playground level is floor (including the edging)

The skate park comes in a close second at 43% (including the upper floor).

Subway is 27% floor, and the tree house and washroom both have 18% floor.

Out of the specials, it's the cruise ship at 37%, but that includes the infinity pool and baby pool floors.

And, in case you were wondering, the Lost City Palace is only 11% floor.
