We promise they're all doable and it's much more satisfying. But, for those who are bad at delayed gratification, we put together some quick walkthroughs. Here's a [video walkthrough](https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/mtccafnt) that goes through the whole game and here's a [text-based walkthrough](https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1f0_n4FbBmDe-Vnw3b7y5zJkZepoLjGsIqnlkOjbpT6c\/edit?usp=sharing) if that's more your style.\n\n--\n\nUpdates after the deadline:\n- Players were getting stuck on a couple levels due to lighting issues, so we fixed those\n- Our sound effects were looping so we turned that off\n- Converted a shader to be web friendly so we could have an HTML5 option\n- You could get pushed out of bounds if a door closed on you. Fixed.\n\n--\n\n![screenshot2.png](\/\/\/raw\/7c7\/a3\/z\/4d45f.png)\n\n![screenshot1.png](\/\/\/raw\/7c7\/a3\/z\/4d460.png)","title":"Light at the Museum","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/289001+289002+289003+289004+289005+289006+289007+289008+289009+289010+289011+289012+289013+289014+289015+289016+289017+289018+289019+289020+289021+289022+289023+289024+289025+289026+289027+289028+289029+289030+289031+289032+289033+289034+289035+289036+289037+289038+289039+289040+289041+289042+289043+289044+289045+289046+289047+289048+289049+289050+289051+289052+289053+289054+289055+289056+289057+289058+289059+289060+289061+289062+289063+289064+289065+289066+289067+289068+289069+289070+289071+289072+289073+289074+289075+289076+289077+289078+289079+289080+289081+289082+289083+289084+289085+289086+289087+289088+289089+289090+289091+289092+289093+289094+289095+289096+289097+289098+289099+289100+289101+289102+289103+289104+289105+289106+289107+289108+289109+289110+289111+289112+289113+289114+289115+289116+289117+289118+289119+289120+289121+289122+289123+289124+289125+289126+289127+289128+289129+289130+289131+289132+289133+289134+289135+289136+289137+289138+289139+289140+289141+289142+289143+289144+289145+289146+289147+289148+289149+289150+289151+289152+289153+289154+289155+289156+289157+289158+289159+289160+289161+289162+289163+289164+289165+289166+289167+289168+289169+289170+289171+289172+289173+289174+289175+289176+289177+289178+289179+289180+289181+289182+289183+289184+289185+289186+289187+289188+289189+289190+289191+289192+289193+289194+289195+289196+289197+289198+289199+289200+289201+289202+289203+289204+289205+289206+289207+289208+289209+289210+289211+289212+289213+289214+289215+289216+289217+289218+289219+289220+289221+289222+289223+289224+289225+289226+289227+289228+289229+289230+289231+289232+289233+289234+289235+289236+289237+289238+289239+289240+289241+289242+289243+289244+289245+289246+289247+289248+289249+289250+289251+289252+289253+289254+289255+289256+289257+289258+289259+289260+289261+289262+289263+289264+289265+289266+289267+289268+289269+289270+289271+289272+289273+289274+289275+289276+289277+289278+289279+289280+289281+289282+289283+289284+289285+289286+289287+289288+289289+289290+289291+289292+289293+289294+289295+289296+289297+289298+289299+289300+289301+289302+289303+289304+289305+289306+289307+289308+289309+289310+289311+289312+289313+289314+289315+289316+289317+289318+289319+289320+289321+289322+289323+289324+289325+289326+289327+289328+289329+289330+289331+289332+289333+289334+289335+289336+289337+289338+289339+289340+289341+289342+289343+289344+289345+289346+289347+289348+289349+289350+289351+289352+289353+289354+289355+289356+289357+289358+289359+289360+289361+289362+289363+289364+289365+289366+289367+289368+289369+289370+289371+289372+289373+289374+289375+289376+289377+289378+289379+289380+289381+289382+289383+289384+289385+289386+289387+289388+289389+289390+289391+289392+289393+289394+289395+289396+289397+289398+289399+289400+289401+289402+289403+289404+289405+289406+289407+289408+289409+289410+289411+289412+289413+289414+289415+289416+289417+289418+289419+289420+289421+289422+289423+289424+289425+289426+289427+289428+289429+289430+289431+289432+289433+289434+289435+289436+289437+289438+289439+289440+289441+289442+289443+289444+289445+289446+289447+289448+289449+289450+289451+289452+289453+289454+289455+289456+289457+289458+289459+289460+289461+289462+289463+289464+289465+289466+289467+289468+289469+289470+289471+289472+289473+289474+289475+289476+289477+289478+289479+289480+289481+289482+289483+289484+289485+289486+289487+289488+289489+289490+289491+289492+289493+289494+289495+289496+289497+289498+289499+289500?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/fe\/fe67d5e9220f36f45ac6d4188262e5f7c0506a0fd0b894f285730d58b6a500f7","record":"shard-0\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/7a0db7e207758180a2f15f7576af6be53532b9b9bb4428f8ea5e8a539de27d4e.json","sha256":"fe67d5e9220f36f45ac6d4188262e5f7c0506a0fd0b894f285730d58b6a500f7","source":"https","stored_at":1784022420}}
