I like the overall theory, but the flight paths are killing me. You can only have two routes out of a city and then you have to pay? Unless you're willing to pay cash, seems like the game becomes realistically unplayable.
This might be why the walk through anything Hax is there, but are the hammer and hatchet available? Otherwise, not 100% sure how to get past the first boss.
Please disregard previous comment. Didn't realize that the thing that looked like every other indestructible square was actually the boss you were supposed to shoot.
its enter, sorry i forgot to put it into the controls
