    Im just looking at what has happened in the past few hours and I think something that can be drawn from this is that this @TGulrintych (Glitch Turny) was trying to send a message (the picture). However something interrupted the transmission and we have an incomplete image. Im wondering if there is more that we need to do to re-establish the connection. Or is it upto us now to only decipher the picture. Thoughts?

    Don't bother trying to edit this new image, it's definitely a Unity source code fill with chunks of the screenshot removed.

    Well the fact that it's a Unity source code page must be relevant to the website from earlier, maybe there's another clue we missed on it

    I have extracted the source code from the web player on the website and haven't found anything that relates to this new screenshot. It does however give away the solution involving the question marks. So maybe I should have done that earlier.

    The image looks to be a CSharp (C#) source file but there isn't enough identifying information in it to discern anything of value. The only thing I can make out are the line numbers which is around 582

    For reference, here is there image (uploaded by someone else)
    http://imgur.com/4VApRFV

    Here is a screenshot of some Unity source in MonoDevelop (although I use a dark background).

    This is code from the game (not the code website) as it was made in Unity.

    I have just noticed that the only coloured line on the image is very near the top and looks to be an if statement. There may be something in that but I can't work it out

    The top red box shows the file name, looks like: Scripts/Game.cs

    The 2nd red box is a conditional statement, only do this block of code if on iPhone (looks like)

    #if UNITY_IPHONE
    // do this code here
    #endif

    How did you get the source code from the game itself?

    It's a screenshot that shows the layout of the software lines up. It is not the source code of the game.

    "Here is a screenshot of some Unity source"

    Some Unity source, not theirs. Just for comparison of the screenshots :)

    Got it :) so we're still stuck on this, hmm what could it all mean. I'm guessing it shows the code for some secret action in game that we need to figure out

    There's a file in the game files called pkginfo and all it contains is the text "APPL????" is this relevant in any way?

    I wonder if we need to 'level up' the Twitter account to get more transmissions. I know it was mentioned before. 100 followers gave us a tiny peak at some new information. Let's see what 200 more does!

    I have followed.

    I've just started converting the image they posted to binary with the white squares being 0's and colored being 1's to see if that comes up with anything, probably a waste of time but :p

    [edit] after doing 10 lines and using a binary to text converter with no results i'm giving up

    I still think this is just a jigsaw puzzle. If you haven't got Photoshop you could use a tile editor such as http://tilemap.co.uk/mappy.php

    Set the grid to 10 x 10 blocks, 900 x 900 pixels map size.

    It's possible to line up the tiles, i'm struggling to put anything coherent together as there are 8800 blocks including the blanks. Will post if anything comes together.

    I'm kind of under the thought that it's not what the picture is of that matters but the layout and composition of the squares, but keep posting any results you get

    I tried some Stenography tools on the image (images hidden in images) but they didn't turn anything up. Or they could be hidden with a password that I couldn't figure out.

    It's a head scratcher for sure, I can just imagine the devs reading this thread and laughing maniacally
