Can you beat the "wrong way" challenge?
Can you make it straight from the start of a normal game, all the way to Pluto? For this challenge, just go the wrong way, as shown in my YouTube video. I invite people to try this, and make a video of it as well, post it to YouTube, and post a comment with a link to the video he
Can you make it straight from the start of a normal game, all the way to Pluto? For this challenge, just go the wrong way, as shown in my YouTube video. I invite people to try this, and make a video of it as well, post it to YouTube, and post a comment with a link to the video here. There is an in-game reward at the end of Pluto for those able to make it there. Go to Saturn, and try to make it to Pluto using only the ability points from the challenges from: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and any points you pick up along the way to Saturn. Here is a video on how to start the challenge. Start a new game in Normal mode, then follow the video!

I added a new sound effect for treads on stone surfaces (made by Kyle Misko)
I moved the Neptune blimp closer to the Quivakon base (so the trip to the base isn't nearly as long).
I have applied a few bug fixes as well (some sounds were not playing correctly)

Now we're talkin'
Now all levels in the game has voice! Voice has just been added to Neptune and Pluto, which were the last levels needing voiceover! If you don't hear voice while playing, set the volume for voice by pausing with "p", and sliding the voice slider (at the bottom of the screen) a bi

You can now throw objects with your air cannon! Simply right click to pick up an object, and if you want to throw it, left click to throw it! It will blast with the power of your projectile launcher (controlled by your projector ability). If you want to just set the object down, you can still do so with right click (as you could previously). Light objects launch at higher velocity.
Now there is a new sound effect for when you are rolling over wood!

Treasure Chest Rewards Update
Treasure Chests are here! Pass quizzes to get the following: 60% = Wood Treasure Chest: elements that make up the chest 70% = Bronze Treasure Chest: 2 coins + elements that make up the bronze chest 80% = Silver Treasure Chest: 4 coins + silver (which makes up the chest) 90% = Gol
Treasure Chests are here! Pass quizzes to get the following:

60% = Wood Treasure Chest: elements that make up the chest
70% = Bronze Treasure Chest: 2 coins + elements that make up the bronze chest
80% = Silver Treasure Chest: 4 coins + silver (which makes up the chest)
90% = Gold Treasure Chest: 8 coins + gold (which makes up the chest)
100% = Diamond Treasure Chest: 16 coins + the element that makes up the chest
These rewards are in addition to the ability points and medals that are already awarded for completing quizzes. The treasure chests can be collected repeatedly by passing the quizzes repeatedly. The quizzes are different per attempt, and pull 10 questions from a list of 25 questions. This is the April Fools event reward, and is planned to remain in the game! I plan to add stuff to buy with the coins soon. You can currently see how many coins you have by seeing how much cobalt you have - I plan on adding a coin display soon as well.

April Fool's Rewards on the way!
Good job on finding some of the April Fool's pranks! I am surprised no one saw the "ship flat tire" dialogue, the phone in the toilet dialogue, and the purple sun as viewed from Earth. Don't worry, they will be back next April though! As a reward for all the secrets found, I am w
