To beat a level there are two objectives you must complete in order:

Firstly you must disarm all traps, which are ropes poking out of the stand that can be removed by clicking on them. This is highlighted by the arrow in blue. Secondly, you must find which of the three highlighted columns does not have either Jorgen Von Strangle or the security guard sitting in them. Try to look for the clear column whilst scanning for the ropes.

Sometimes ropes can be hard to spot. Chances are that the larger size of either Jorgen or the security guard are covering most of it, so check around them if you're not sure where it is, because it's most likely there.

Once all traps are disarmed and you've found the clear column, press either Right, Up or Left to go up the respective column.

After every 8 levels the amount of traps will increase.

Level 1 - 8: 1 Trap Level 9 - 16: 2 Traps Level 17 - 24: 3 Traps Level 25 - 32: 4 Traps Level 33 - 40: 5 Traps Level 41 - 48: 6 Traps Level 49 & 50: 7 Traps

You'll need to keep this in mind. You don't want to scan for perhaps 3 traps and forget that it's increased to 4, so always keep in mind what level you're on, which can be found in the top left corner.

Security guards can be hard to spot it they're in the middle column and very low down as cosmo can mostly block them from view, so take care looking for them. Jorgen is taller and has clearer colours that makes him stick out, so he isn't as much of a problem

The only difference with Hard mode is that the Jorgen in the stands is replaced with a 2nd security guard, and Jorgen is now moving horizontally at the top of the stands. When you choose a direction to go, he will settle into whichever column he's closest to when you press the arrow key, so you may need to wait if he's blocking your way. You can hold down Space to make him go a little faster.

The amount of traps is the same between difficulties.
