Still 2 phases ahead of me haha! Anyway I think the "No Pisar" square turns a certain number of squares back to their original colour so you have to jump over them. The BOM square blows up a few seconds after you walk over it, killing anything near it (Including you I think?). I have no idea what the electric shock looking squares do (I think I hit one and died on my first go, so maybe they just kill you)? I think the bottle temporarily gets rid of the flies (But not 100% sure). I walked on the stop square, but I don't know what it does? I was thinking it may have switched off the conveyors or froze the enemies, but neither of these things seem to have happened?

I worked out what the bottle does, you need to find the square that has the glass on it first, then walk over it. After that go and walk over the bottle, and you'll pick it up. This gives you limited invincibility, which is really good for racking up some points as the enemies die when they touch you.

I managed to reach Phase 3... but got killed so quickly I hardly could take a look :)

I don't think someone could be able to submit a rzx without cheating at all. Truly amazing that the game has a number of FORTY phases (!). Two completed doesn't look a great landmark to me...

edit: Phase 4 now.

Well wot can I say?
Humphrey is a delightful game I'd never heard of before. The collision detection is well dodgy but this only adds to the titles appeal. Game-play is simple: paint the squares! Hold the jump button down to leap baddies, the longer you press the further you go, be careful not fall off the dge though. There are other squares I never had time to figure out. Hoping someone can enlighten me.
