addedLevel Updated: to stop players from wandering off into the wilderness areas of the levels trying to find secrets that are not there, I've added glass walls to many of the levels to keep the player on track. If you saved on one of these level before this update and reload you will see this message: New Level Build. If problems arise press [SHIFT] and [F10] for a clean restart. Clicking continue should allow you to finish the level without problems.
addedMap Updates: the map no longer displays small items (points, health, armor, shields, ammo). Also, occlusion has been added to scouting, making it harder to find secrets on the map. Both of these updates are to keep players from abusing the map. The map is there in case you get lost, you should not be playing the game from the map.
changedThe map still shows keys, special items, locked doors, special characters, and exits.
changedWorld levels are only for travel. You don't need to kill everything. Check the local map for 'Yellow Diamonds' and 'Red Xs' and 'Blue Arrows'.
changedSecret walls stand out and look a little different that normal walls. You don't need the map to find secrets.
changedYou will probably miss some secrets the first time you play the game. This is normal for most games. Try to enjoy the gameplay and not worry about finding all the secrets. They are not needed to complete the game.

- Hints and Tips:

- This is a story driven action shooter. If you are NOT talking to someone or killing enemies, you are NOT playing the game.

- All levels play out the same (mostly). Fight enemies, find keys, open doors. If you are lost, try to find more enemies as they will be guarding keys.

- The map still shows keys, special items, locked doors, special characters, and exits.

- Remember RGB: red key first, then green, then blue.

- World levels are only for travel. You don't need to kill everything. Check the local map for 'Yellow Diamonds' and 'Red Xs' and 'Blue Arrows'.

- If you are looking down from a ledge and see nothing but trees and rock, you don't need to go there and will probably die if you do.

- If you are moving through the level and you come to a wall that you can't see, you don't need to go that way.

- Just because there is no invisible wall stopping you doesn't mean there is a secret.

- Secret walls stand out and look a little different that normal walls. You don't need the map to find secrets.

- Enemies drop items. Dead bodies remain forever. Run over areas where you've killed enemies to find items.

- Some items may be hard to see in foliage. Don't spend too much time trying to find every item. Try to find more enemies and they will drop items.

- Animals are easy to kill and drop the same number of items as harder enemies.

- Try to take out the weakest enemies first (if possible), then while you are dealing with the harder ones, you'll have items to replenish yourself during combat.

- If you can, try to stay away from melee enemies and don't get surrounded. It is best to stay mobile.

- You will probably miss some secrets the first time you play the game. This is normal for most games. Try to enjoy the gameplay and not worry about finding all the secrets. They are not needed to complete the game.

- It is near impossible to collect all the coins on some level.
