Hi, Alex and Donna, Ok, the location of the beam varies a little. When you are using it, the sound raises in pitch. Pull the artifact toward you, and hold steady once it levels off at its highest pitch, which won't be much higher than its beginning pitch. There will be a sort of "tada" tone when you've captured it, and Emily will say something like "you got it!"
The cells are simply power packs for you to play the game. The longer you play, and the richer your sound environment, the more quantum cells you'll collect. This is the way I played the game. I think I may have bought one pack, because I was impatient. I didn't bother with the collective dimension, except to play it like the other ones. You'll still have artifacts to collect in it, but you get more cells if you connect to friends on Twitter and talk to them with the messenger function, a la Church of the Subgenius style. I haven't used it, but I've heard it's hit and miss for accessibility. Once you play a level for some period of time, like a few days, the next level will unlock, or you can buy enough cells to unlock it. I think there is one level that only unlocks when it's raining in your local area, but since I live in the desert, I went ahead and bought cells to unlock it. :-P Anyhow, go ahead and contact me on or offlist if you have more questions. Have fun. Teresa On May 9, 2013, at 3:10 PM, Alex Hall <mehg...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'd like to ask a question as well. How do you collect cells? Artifacts make > noise, but cells seem to be silent.
