Hi,

Recently I was stuck on a level in episode 13; so I decided I would look around for a way to skip it (without using practise mode); I then found a feature when you pressed 5 on the numpad and entered some code, it unlocked episodes up to a point. So I unlocked to episodes from 13-17 with this code, but it turned the squares of these white (I guess it's just to show I didn't actually complete them).
So I spend pretty much a whole day playing through these episodes until I finally completed them all; so I went back to my episode select screen and WHAT; the episodes STILL had these white boxes around them despite me spending a whole day doing these levels.

I'm so unbelivebly annoyed, is there any way to make these white boxes go back to regular boxes (since I have properly completed the episodes and everything).


Please Help,

Thanks In Advance,

Joe

This should be moved to troubleshooting.

Did you play the episodes up to down, and play them in regular mode? Cause if it's in practice mode, it won't take, because there is no time limit and you have the ability to skip levels.

I used a cheat codeword thing at first to unlock episodes 13-17; then I realised I shouldn't have and completed all of the episodes in regular mode (not practise); however the episodes remained with their white squares around them (as if I had used practise mode).
Since I spend all of my time actually doing these levels, why does it still think I cheated?

Did you play them in order, 13 - 17? Cause that would be the only way.

Well the first thing I did when it unlocked it was play ep17. But then when I decided to complete them all properly, yes, I did them in order.

I once used a code to get pass bricklayer but soon regretted it. It does this to dis-encourage cheating so you do not get a flavor or credit for completing a column. Luckily, a glitch erased all my data and I'm almost back to where I was before, only without the white boxes.

Ouch, yeah I did the same thing about 3 years ago.

You would have to start with the last episode that's not white, which should be 13 in your case, and finish the column from there. It's the only way to make them not skipped, even though you beat them already. That may seem sucky, but I'm sure you'll find each level will be much easier the second time around.
