    REALLY HARD EASTER EGG RIDDLE NEED HELP

    Now, I realize that not everyone here had played the freaking awesome game of Crimsonland. But one of the things that keeps players coming back for more is the fact that the creator of the game, Tero Alataro, says to his knowedge nobody has found more than 50% of the game's secrets. But this game was last updated in 2003, so I'm sure SOMEONE has.

    This is a riddle to one of them:


    Upon revealing that riddle-filled message, that "Secret" button appears. When you click on it, this game appears:



    It's basically the game where you line of 3 of the same-colored monsters while that bar at the bottom is going down. When it runs out, the game is over, and getting rid of 3 monsters will fill the bar up a little.
    However, the game is impossible to beat. Every time, there will at be a few monsters that can't line up and aren't the same color. I believe solving the riddle will help solve the game, which will unlock something incredibly cool. Seeing as how you guys were so damn good at the Lateral Thinking puzzles, and being cool guys, and I figure I could ask you guys for help.
    In case the riddle only makes sense if you play the game, you can download the game here:

      I haven't played this game, but I assume you need to line up 4 or 5 at once. Like bilging in Puzzle Pirates.

      And the number of 0's and 1's is divisible by 8. Try plugging it into a binary generator or something off Google.

      Yeah, my help is a little obvious, but from your post it seems you missed these factors, or didn't say you tried them :P

        It's a really good game Omega. I have it on my computer and I enjoy playing it every once in a while. Sure gets hard.. I never knew about the secrets though.. and I never saw those....

          carbo: The game, as it says, is unfinished. Even if 5 of them are lined up, it will only take away 3.

          Kenzya: Go to the credits under Statistics and click on every line that has the letter "o" in it.

            I took the binary and manually myself converted it into base5 (because base4 doesn't work and it says 5 bits).

            2141111910111751215187 is the result.

                Come on, guys. I need help figuring out what all the Binary is for.

                  Nm, figured it out. Now I have a NEW riddle, thanks to looking at the crimsonland.exe prgram in a hex editor.

                  This is all about fixing city walls with Magic Paint. To stop sinking, you know?
                  I'll state this as clearly as I can: click each line with letter o(s) in them in scrolling credits to start The Secret Path. Be careful though: don't click on other lines!
                  Inside AlienZooKeeper can be found few interesting combinations. CyanYellowRedYellow doesn't mean anything but what about if you run it through an orthogonal projection?
                  Do remember you're probably seeing something that not really meant to see! Don't believe everything...
                  I'll tell you a little secret; there are few secret weapons hidden inside the game!

                  What the heck does that mean?

                    Hmm, well, here's something about Orthogonal projections, can't say i understand it.

                    Also, check out this definition.

                    Are there any math buffs to help us out on the orthogonal projection part?

                    I'm thinking it's a combination of cyan yellow red yellow at some angles...

                      It would probably help if you knew what the Swedish (?) in that meant, too.

                        Well, orthogonal trajectories are a family of curves that are each perpendicular to a given curve where they intersect. Finding perpendicular lines?

                          It's Finnish. And even as bad as online translators are, Finnish-to-English ones are even worse.


                          Look, the definitions are nice and all, but it would probably be best to show what Orthogonal Projection is by EXAMPLE, because the definition really doesn't help me draw a picture of what it's talking about.

                            Huh.

                            I was pondering the riddle and came across this:



                            I think this is a step in the right direction.

                              The projection of a vector onto an orthogonal vector is 0. >_>

                              Kefit or aperson would probably be better to ask about this, they're better with advanced theory shit. Plus you never explain how exactly the alien game works. How do you move things around?
                              I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.
