Hey guys, if you're anything like me you probably have a lot of trouble in the later levels with slowdown and the like, from all the bits and pieces that are flying around on screen. There's a sort-of hidden options menu that will allow you to turn all those effects off, and make the game run smooth as silk! Most of the time, anyway... :)

After you click on the picture of Igor in the ice block on the left, there is a link that says "Options". Click on this and you will be able to turn off "High Quality Graphics". This will turn off all the fragments that appear when you drop bombs, blow up enemies, pick up large crystals, etc. and it makes it so the game doesn't look quite so good, but plays much, much better.

Okay, so it's not that hidden, but I'd been playing the game for ages before I even discovered it, and it was the biggest obstacle to success in the later levels. Very useful!

Thanks! I can't believe I didn't know this myself, but you just made everything a lot easier for me :D

We found it at about the same time, I was browsing the game guide and found about that a day or 2 ago.

Works wonder!

I think I came upon that within the first week of playing the game... How do you think I was able to get to the 90's before anyone else here? 8)
