Walkthrough
- 1Head to the canvas and climb the ladder to its right.
- 2Jump right to the platform with a purple switch and an adjacent platform. This switch controls the broad platform below.
- 3The broad platform rises to a floating purple switch. That switch controls a small platform that rises to the puzzle piece at the very top.
- 4First, climb down to the broad platform.
- 5Stand on the broad platform for a second, then walk back to the upper switch.
- 6Flip the upper switch and rewind until you are standing on the lower, broad platform. Your shadow will run up and hit the switch for you.
- 7When the broad platform stops rising, wait a second, then hit the purple switch.
- 8Rewind again until you are on the upper platform.
- 9Run to the upper switch and hit it as soon as your shadow walks onto the broad platform.
- 10This ensures your shadow hits the lower switch when the broad platform rises.
- 11Be on the small upper platform when your shadow hits the lower switch so you can reach the puzzle piece.
Tips
