    I just downloaded the game this morning and I noticed a glitch in Chapter VI The Descent. There is one area where your character will actually walk through a wall so I'm going to explain exactly what you do to replicate this, starting from the beginning of the mission, here we go.

    Walk to the stairs that are underwater. The platform will raise some. Now begin walking down those stairs. The platform again raises. Walk to the later that is partly submerged. Begin going down the stairs to further raise the platform. Now walk to the new stairs that are mostly submerged, similar to the stairs at the beginning of the chapter. Walk down those stairs after they raise up. You should now be on the dark grey L-shaped walkway. Now you are going to tap on the bridge that connects to the ladder. This is the ladder that you can move up and down using the crank, it should be completely out of the water. When I tap on that bridge from this position it causes my character to walk up the stairs, into a ladder, through a chunk of wall, and finally come out on the bridge.

    Now that may have been extremely confusing, so if you're having trouble figuring out what I mean just let me know and I will try to explain it better.

    Oh and by the way I'm also having the Box glitch that was mentioned by Bronxsta on page 6 of this thread.

    Apart from that, this game is really rather awesome, I'm having a great time with it. The box is my favorite level by far. One more thing, are all current beta testers going to be allowed to continue beta testing when you change to phase 2 of beta testing?

    Simply gorgeous. We need more games like this one and Tengami's (coming out in March, I believe). Best of luck to you. I'll be watching your progress closely.

    Hi guys, thanks for all the responses!

    We've just come back to the studio now after a well earned Christmas break and are going over all the feedback we've had over the questionnaires and other mediums.

    Right now our next port of call is to figure out what you guys liked about the beta and do more of it, then do less of the stuff you complained about :)

    Ken also smashed out some great new ideas for levels over the break, so we'll have more exciting stuff coming soon. In the meantime, if there's anything you want to discuss we can do it here.

    Many Thanks guys and hope you all had an awesome holidays.

    Hi guys!

    Firstly, massive thanks to those who participated in phase one of the public beta testing before Christmas, your feedback has helped further shape the game and as you may have seen we've gotten a ton of great feedback and press.

    I also wanted to give you a heads up on the fact we'll be conducting a second phase for those who couldn't be part of Beta 1. Invites for this should be sent out early next week, so if you haven't you can still head over to www.monumentvalleygame.com to apply for access.

    As mentioned, unfortunately those who were part of phase one are unable to participate, the reasons for this are that we need fresh players without any prior experience to gain the best results. Sorry guys!

    Dont worry I think it will be better this way, more users get to try it, you get more exposure and we who did try the first beta will want to see more when it releases, not being too spoiled knowing too much. Everybody wins and I hope this game (too early maybe, but from what I played, has a lot of chances on getting into my GOTY list or being my GOTY of 2014).
