I just posted a "beat it" thread but didn't want to delve into any potential secret spoilers there.
Not that I've really found anything secret yet... however, if you manage to make it all the way up left via jetting on "Dragon Noir" There is this thing here. I don't remember if it had anything to do with a puzzle. Anyone remember?

Also, anyone catch any WADF/Knytt references? Obviously there's the big one in one of the endings (don't remember the combination of parts offhand) but anyone notice anything else? I swear a couple of the animals looked familiar. I also wonder if we'll see "bird game" :P2
Likewise, was trying to figure out what was marked on these plyers... I see an N and S so it's probably Nifflas or Nicklas.

I've never seen those pliers, but there's also something that can be interpreted as a submacopter somewhere on that planet. :] (reference to QC)
Yes, you have to have seen the pliers, otherwise you would not have been able to recharge the spaceship. xD
But there is an even harder secret to find on Dragon Noir, which seems also to be a reference to the webcomic Questionable Content. Sorry, my bad...

It involves using the flight powerup.
Yeah, I got to that other secret on Dragon Noir that you posted PONTO, but didn't want to post it until I had more time to look into it to see if it referenced anything X)
I really wish I didn't have finals next week or I'd spend the weekend tearing apart this game. I'm not one of those people who normally does that it games, but there's definitely something special about a Nifflas release.
*edit*
Kind of funny, I googled the pass "aikotoba" which you get on Dragon Noir... I guess it's Japanese for "password" :)
[mod]Put a big spoiler in spoiler tag.[/mod]
Alright, final thing I looked into, regarding a song on the radio. Decided I'd finally start using the Spoiler tag, although in this case I doubt there's a spoiler here!
There is Morse code at the end of the song, "Silent Sun - Yogan" on one of the radio stations... you can listen to it in the Radio subfolder. I went ahead and copied the ogg, converted it to wav, and cut out only the Morse code. Since I don't know Morse code myself, I ran the .wav through a program that should have transcoded it... unfortunately, all I got was gibberish, and one part that might have been, "test." I'm guessing it's just part of the song or added as ambiance and doesn't mean anything, although since I don't know Morse code and am out of time to play around with it I'll just leave it here if anyone is interesed. If you don't feel like searching for it yourself, you can get the Morse code part of the song I uploaded as a 5mb .wav here: http://www.zshare.net/download/69817420434c1407/
Today Nifflas also posted some ingame cheats regarding button commands
in the editor forum. Thought I'd document them here for archival purposes or whatever when other people finally start beating this game:
"there are a few ingame debug keys in the game that's good to know. One can be considered a cheat."
F9 triggers a song instantly
F11 activates collision mask mode (hold Shift to display collision mask and sound emitters)
Hold F12 to move the player to the mouse, or to instantly travel to a star
On Hoffman i managed to get up above the terminal by running and then flying

Although, there wasn't anything interesting on the other side :(

I am not sure if I had used that code, but I have finished the game and I still haven't deleted the photo of it, so can somebody tell me what is it for? :huh:

And also I wonder if you can do something whit the computers in the control room of Explorer XLII. All I see is "Load Error".

Weird, I drew a map myself, and I too used a star to represent the start-terminal. :O
Btw, here's the submacopter

Awesome font on aikotoba, does anyone know what it is?
Edit: It seems to be Museo 500 (http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/exljbris/museo/500/), and 3 of the 5 weights are free!

I remember taking this photo assuming that it was for a puzzle, but don't remember using it at any point:

Is this number used at all ?
