Level 6 is busted. On the section where the triangle slides downward to the wormhole, the last section is angled upward. The triangle cant progress and resetting puts it on the upward angle.
I just came across an issue where the 2nd version of the steamshot launcher does not have the loading animation as the other versions of it. Can someone else check to confirm?
There are skills that double speed and cost of researches that can be opened later in game.
