Hey TalosAscia, I'm sorry that you encountered these issues. Just so we can better understand what happened: Were you following the correct sequence and the safe tiles were still breaking, or were you perhaps using a different sequence? The sequence symbols are written on the cave walls: one near the bridge, the others outside where the spiders are patrolling.
Regarding the controller, that it a strange one. No controller connected, correct?
If it's not asking too much, the save file and Player.log would be extremely helpful. The files are located here: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Camel 101\Dead Stop - No Vacancy
If you could send them to info@camel101.com, that would be a huge help.
