We've made several improvements to the Robot puzzle and ITV, plus much more...
We listened and made the robot faster with a variable speed throttle/toggle. The heaviest particles in the game (dust) have been optimized for older/slower computers. Many other enhancements have been made, plus we fixed a few things that needed fixing!
As an added bonus, we have also unlocked the Book of the Dead Ends™ trial to include full access to all hints and solutions at:
- the Sphinx Plateau
- Gil's Tent
- the Great Pyramid necropolis (outside areas of Cheops)
- the Ascending Passageway
- the Descending Passageway
- the Grand Gallery
- the Queen's Chamber
- and the King's Chamber.
This will allow players more access to hints and solutions in the crucial beginnings of the game and get a good feel for how the in-game hints system works.

- Optimization of ITV toggles, allow for faster navigation of Cheoptronic.
- Added animation of cull dispenser without sand cull.
