Check the readme. I had some problems getting it to work initially.

Also, have any of you guys unlocked those doors in the score room? I haven't gotten any of them yet. I have a feeling that there's probably a level with a secret door to a secret room, and in that room there's a secret box with a secret key to that secret door in the score room. Or something. I feel kind of nostalgic all of a sudden.

I think that they open if you get a large amount of money, a large amount of kills and if you complete the game fast.

What about the changing room?

Edit: I think you're right, lambskin. I just went through world one and a lot of world two extremely fast, and now I have a bronze cup hovering over the (still locked) door to the sun room. One of those levels I got through was so awesome that I just need to brag about it to you guys. I found a kissing booth right near the entrance of the level, grabbed the girl, and ran through the level in a Mario-esque fashion, jumping up and down on everything in my way and running past a shitload of enemies. I beat the level in 32 seconds with the girl and more than 10 thousand dollars.

Also, I just got the first shortcut dug. Tunnelman is my favorite character.

The game seems to like to kick you in the groin.  Getting a dark room in the jungle is a death sentence because there's so much swimming to be done, you'll be out of flares before you reach the exit.  I once got all the way to the door without using a flare.  Every jump I made I was 100% sure I would die before I hit the ground.

This is why its good to have firearms in the jungle, not only do they kill off alot of dangers, but also they produce a short burst of light every time they are fired making a dark jungle all the more bearable.

Or you could try throwing the flare to a dry ledge. That's what I do.

 Saw the last boss.

 Nail-bitingly difficult to get to, and you need the luck of an Irishman(Who I happened to have standing next to me that day) to make sure you are not screwed. Also, defeat the hard enemy of area 4 and you get a special prize a lot like how the GCS gives you sticky bombs. But this is better.

 Also, I have heard rumors of an Ankh. I have yet to see it myself, but I want it. Thus, I'm going through the jungles more times than I should.

 I found the first area you can go to the exit usually without using any equipment. The second area has areas where you need bombs. Third area you had better have the compass, hopefully the cape or if lucky, the jetpack.

 Nothing can help you on the fourth area except lots of bombs.

So, the last boss is in area 4? Also, congratulations.

Also, do you guys know what the prizes in the big chests are? Of the three times I've gotten them (all in area one), it's always been The Udjat Eye. Has anyone gotten them outside of the first area? The Ankh could be one of them.

World 1 - Udjat Eye - Gems hidden in walls become visible.
World 2 -
World 3 -
World 4 -

 I haven't really seen large chests in other worlds. then again, my general strategy is "screw it all, I'm going to live!" when it comes to worlds other than the first one.

 Also, the special feature of area 3 is not quite as bad as people would think. If you know what to do and have a good two bombs handy, you can accomplish it easily. The other special feature actually makes the whole level easier.

Managed to get to the Boss at the end of world 4.
Didn't get very far, don't know what exactly I have to do, if anyone does it would be handy. Meanwhile for those of you that have defeated the big bad in area 4 and gotten the special item.

Does anyone here know what the hat that is sometimes found in the mouth of those statues in lv 4 do?

One time I was just about to get one but I blew a hole in the ground and fell to my death.
