    I thought it might be nice to have a place help your fellow "Tims" with some clues without giving it all away...


    one question I have


    *Possible spoiler about World 2*







    aside from the world 2 painting...do any of the other paintings have an effect on the puzzles?  don't tell me what they do, just a yes or no would be great, thanks!

    To get another hidden object, that is not a Puzzle piece it does. I'm not saying more ;)

    Think about the mechanic of this world. Then keep in mind, that the key is not green. Then it's easy ;)

    "Okay, I'm having a horrible time with "Fragile Companion" in world 5. There is one green key and two doors and the power in this world is the shadow-type guy. I just can't do it."
    I figured it out on accident. Here is my hint: The shadow key must be used to unlock the first door.

    Edit: I ended up figuring the fickle companion one out. That was really easy.

    They're all really easy, and that's what makes them so frustrating. :P

    World 3 - Crossing the Gap






    I can't get the last piece above the exit door.  I can't get high enough jumping on the dude, is it possible to get him on the upper landing past the carpeted box?


    hint please....

    Yes, the second room that opens, all i have to say is don't be in such a hurry to put it together if you're a completist.

    Is that the one with the rewind ghost? If it is headbutt and moving platform, kinda vague without me telling you what to do.
