I've really been enjoying your game a lot so far! Unfortunately, I've encountered a small problem and cannot progress past this point. I am suspecting a bug whereby the launch pad is not working for some reason...or is there something else I need to do to power it up? Please see the picture attached. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback thus far! We haven't encountered this issue before, but does the pad not activate even when the electricity ability is activated before stepping on it?
Oh I see, even though I thought I had tried that, last night I was able to get it working properly and I was able to finish the game (hoorah)! I wonder if there are more than two endings and what the decision tree looks like though. I'm going to play through it again but I wonder if the (second-to-last) choice affects them? And also, the sadistic side of me wonders if it's possible to erm, eliminate both of them somehow...
Nice to hear that it worked (hoorah)! There are definitely more than 2 endings based on your choices along the game. There are also few sadistic choices thanks to our writer (they only go up to a certain extent though ) . We hope you will enjoy your second play-through just as much or more than the first and we're glad you're liking it!
