Hello ctdabomb,
ctdabomb {l Wrote}:how are you supposed to beat level 5? the first tower
Your shadow can reach three buttons, the first one opens the gate.
The other two are used to move two different elevators up.
After opening the gate let the player stand on the right elevator and let the shadow stand on the most right button.
The elevator will raise and when your going to hit spikes move the shadow to the left on to the other button.
Now the left elevator will go up, when you can jump on it, eventually you're going to hit some spikes above, before that happens let your shadow go back to the most right button.
And when you can jump on the right elevator, do so.
Do the other spike obstacles the same way, eventually you'll need to stand on the right elevator which will stop at the top of the tower, there's the exit.
Hope this helps.
