Yum. Sorry for speaking with my mouth full but this is delicious. It's satisfying finding secret locations where you're actually brought into some place in the distance, like a small island with their unusual inhabitants. To be honest I like the "dark" mode better than the second half of the worlds, as it's more mysterious and less conventional than some of the puzzles, but that's not to say I disliked them. Far from it.
I think I found a bug through the third door-world though, I can turn into an electrical spark and fly into a broken cable, causing a small white spark to appear there, but my character turns invisible and falls to the floor. Only the glowing eyes are visible. I can repeat the process until there's tons of sparks by the cable, but nothing seems to happen. I think this is in the room immediately after the red elevators.

Sweet. Hopefully I get a chance to play this sometime soon *drools*

@rinku -
when you get some spares, would you mind checking out the subtly updated charityware rules outline?
i'd like to know if the little change i made makes it more clear. (if not, then i'll keep plugging away to shine the light.)

# The goal is to make me contribute more and more and more of my own money to the Starlight Children?s Foundation.
# Download Glum Buster for free (the whole game is free, because i love you!) and enjoy playing the game.
# If you really enjoy Glum Buster and feel it?s worthy of payment, then you can choose to pay me for the game, any amount that you choose.
# I add your payment number to a count that is working toward 100.
# Once the first 100 payments are achieved, I calculate 51% of the sum value of those payments.
# The result of that calculation directly determines the amount of my own money that I donate to the Starlight Children?s Foundation.
# For example, if 100 of you each pay me $1.00 for the game, then I?ll donate $51.00 of my own funds to the charity.
# After each round of 100 payments, I?ll increase by 1 the percentage that influences my contribution.

It looks clearer, but it's hard to say since I already know how it works since you mentioned it earlier -- I think the best way to check for clarity is to see people who don't know how it works and see if they can figure it out right-quick. I think the way I'd explain it would be shorter, since a lot of people are too impatient read 8+ sentences on how it works. Perhaps something like:
"I'll donate an amount equal to 51% of the first 100 donations to Starlight, 52% of the next 100, and so on, up to 99% if we get that far."
That doesn't spell out all the details but it hits the important info.

wow, thanks buddy!
i'll give that a shot (tomorrow, though - i'm about to pass out right now). i always tend to over-explain things in text. i appreciate the help :)
also, i was just musing on the potential of the future and it made me smile. i really hope that enough payments come in to drive me to the 99% factor.
in that case, if payments reach, say, $100.00 in a round, then i'll be contributing $99.00 to starbright. the thing is, i'm using paypal to accept payments. and, there's a transaction fee for every payment. if that weren't there, then i'd be personally earning $1.00 on the game at this point. however, the transaction fees will add up to roughly $3.20. therefore i will literally be paying that $1.00 income plus an out-of-pocket difference of $2.20 to cover the fee! -$2.20 net for cosmind! beautiful! haha, the game will be costing me. i actually am really interested and eager to see how high this gets driven up :) (unless it makes me poor, of course, which i don't see happening considering the limited reach of the game.)
