That's right. This is just the second time I have tried MOTA 18. I have

the first level. I did it once but didn't count the number of up or down
arrows but I have tried over and over. When you jump you can hit the up

I honestly don't get what the problem is. There is no secret to
getting to the first floor. Sheesh, you don't even have to use the
rope if you don't want to. Just jump off the ledge and land on the
floor below. If the r key says room 4, or something like that, you are

Hi Dean,
In case you haven't read the changelog all of the levers, switches,
and locks for the statues are timed. If you don't reach a statue and
open it in time it will relock and the lever will reset. Diddo for the
doors. Then, you have to go back and pull the lever or switch again.

I didn't know the levers and statues were already labeled.
I still think a ticking sound when the timed levers are counting down would

No problem, and thanks for the work you guys are doing. As I mentioned
