THE ULTIMATE POWERPOINT MOUSE MAZE ORIGINAL
Q: The first game sucks.
A: Go play the second installment! It's bigger, better, and cooler!
Q: Why must I restart the game when I get killed by a boss?
A: Due to animation time restrictions, boss animations do not replay when you restart the level. As such, you have to restart the game again. Version 4.0 fixes this glitch.
Q: New levels now.
A: The final level update for TUPPMM is Version 3.0. The game only consists of two phases, but...that might not be the case!
Q: Some button links aren't working!
A: Make sure you are using Microsoft Office 2007 or higher when playing the game. If it's a bug (the hyperlink doesn't exist), that is a game bug. Contact Akfamilyhome about this!
Q: What the heck is that yellow face doing?
A: That's the guide, a smiley face that guides you through the two tutorial levels. Follow him for the best method of getting outta there! This feature is not included in Version 4.0
Q: When I restart a level after dying, the game breaks!
A: That might be due to animation problems. If that is the case, restart the game then try again. Version 4.0 fixes most of these glitches.
Q: Some colors don't seem correct.
A: If the colors look VERY weird (especially on the second normal boss fight), you might want to upgrade your version of Office to 2007 or higher before trying again.
Q: How can I give feedback?
A: Press the 'Give Feedback' button on the main menu. You will be taken to a YouTube page where you can express your feelings in the comments! This feature is not included in Version 4.0
THE ULTIMATE POWERPOINT MOUSE MAZE 2
Q: Ooooh.
A: Yes, it's a sequel.
Q: I was playing on Story Mode and now I want to continue. How can I do it?
A: Use the normal Level Select option on the main menu or 'Continue from Level' on the Story Mode menu!
Q: What are bonus levels?
A: Bonus levels are levels that we don't think that we want to squeeze in the main game. They are usually pretty fun as well!
Q: When are level updates?
A: Each time a world is finished, we will release an update. After that, every update includes new bonus levels!
Q: How many worlds are there in total?
A: Currently we have planned for 6, but we might just increase that amount...
Q: How can I skip a tutorial / cutscene when I've viewed it already?
A: You can click the SKIP button that's always available!
Q: A tutorial / cutscene has messed up after I play it more than once!
A: These problems are caused due to animation problems. These glitches can be fixed, although it would be a painstaking process, so please wait patiently for us to fix these glitches one by one. For now, just restart the game if you can't exit, or press the Skip button if available.
Q: How can I start from a tutorial?
A: On the level select screen, look for a blue box on the level where the tutorial is included!
Q: Which level is which?
A: If you want to check out what level you are going to play, on the level select screen, mouse over the level!
Q: What are secret exits?
A: A secret exit is denoted by a special orange Antivirus Star that spins counterclockwise. Secret exits open up secret levels, which in turn unlock secret shortcuts on the World Map!
Q: Besides normal levels, secret levels, and bonus levels, are there any other levels?
A: Legend says that those who try to discover every nook and cranny of a slide can reveal legendary secrets in the process...
