===Hidden Details=== res/anim/Cutscene2Scene2/RocketScene_inside.image
This file contains a background of the final cutscene from Chapter 2. A part of it is placed outside of the camera movement and is never normally seen. In the cut-out part, there is a flipped image of a small table with two books on top of it - "#IMOMSOHARD" by Jen Smedley and Kristin Hensley and "Off Course" by Michelle Huneven. Underneath the table, there's also a text that reads as "grow old with me the best is yet to be" which seems to be a quote from Robert Browning's poem.
Same detail can be found in res/anim/Cutscene3Scene1/room.image

Unused Items#
NeonSmileyDynamic (Before Level Editor update)
(0a6c052b-fd4e-4cf1-b38d-89722aa2e30f)
In the releases, before the Level Editor, this item was broken, since the images IMAGE_ITEM_NEON_SMILEY and IMAGE_ITEM_NEON_SMILEY2 were not present. However, it still had geometry, in form of a frictionless circle.
After the Level Editor update, this item is functional, due to the changed image name in the item file - IMAGE_ITEM_NEON_SMILEY is replaced with IMAGE_ITEM_NEON_SPHERE.

This is hardcoded to show text, but at a slight angle.
Unused Liquids#
MoltenLava - 2
Despite being a liquid, it actually acts like a solid. You can make this by mixing Water and Lava together, however none of the main levels have that interaction.
