1. Look out for switches, routers, and hubs that are not working. You can sometimes get partial glimpses of where not to go by looking carefully at the edges of the screen.
2. Watch out for dead ends. Sometimes you can tell that the path will not go anywhere, but not always.
3. Keep in mind that you are being timed and that you'll get bonus points for getting through with your music upload quickly.
4. Watch for transmission towers. Sometimes these can get you to your destination quickly, but at other times they’ll send you the wrong way.
5. You will be given a fixed number of hops between the devices depending upon the level of the game you are playing. Going over that number means that you'll need to start over. You'll get points for good hops, but for the bad ones, you'll receive a point deduction.
6. It may be easier to use the mouse to click on the path you want, but you can use the keyboard arrow keys to toggle through the paths. Press Enter to commit to a direction.
7. Be on the lookout for a building with a star-shaped burst around it. If you see this, head toward it. It's your goal.
8. Try to remember which route seemed to work, so if you need to try again, you'll be able to get through the maze.

1. Be on the lookout for the golden Security Key. You must have it to complete the game.
2. After getting the Security Key, remember that if you bump into other packets, you'll lose the key. If this happens, you'll need to go back to retrieve it.
3. Watch out for problems with space weather. Such interference will slow you down.
4. Move the mouse right or left or use the keyboard arrow keys to move Penny.
5. Click on the mouse button or press the up arrow to turn on Penny's jetpack thrust. Penny will go up when you use the thrust and fall downward when the jetpack thrust is not in use.
6. It's a good idea to opt for the Practice Sessions before you take on this game.

1. Keep your eye out for EMI in the form of electric eels, cross talk, and hacker packets. The whirlpools can keep Penny from moving.
2. Move the mouse right or left or use the arrow keys to make Penny go in the direction you want.
3. Click the left mouse button or press the Enter key to make Penny paddle faster down the stream.
4. If your inner tube seems to be deflating, hook up with New Tub Power to get a new tube for your journey.

1. If you need help, click on the Help button on the lower left of each screen.
2. To learn more about the characters or obstacles in your game, click on the Character button on the lower right of each screen. Sometimes this information will help you get through the game.
