This simple oversight in the Ogmire Dungeons allows you to replay a puzzle for as long as you want, each time placing a new Skittle for Skye to grab. Sully JHF told me about this:

After you've gotten the key from the red goblin, you unlock this area downstairs that features a switch puzzle that involves pressing the left switch twice, the right switch three times, and the left five times again. If you mess up at any point in this process, the switches reset to the beginning of the pattern, forcing you to redo it, but the developers didn't design it so that the puzzle "locks" after it's completed.
What this means it that if you activate the right switch after pulling the left for the final time, the game will take that as you "failing" the puzzle and will reset it, allowing you to play the puzzle again. All of the spawned items -- the key, the Ogmire coin, and the orange Skittle -- stay in place, and completing the pattern again simply spawns another of each item.
With that in mind, you can skip every other orange Skittle in the game if you quickly grind them here. Since it's so simple to do and is part of the normal progression, this solves any problems brought on by skipping the entire Tikniki Swamp and any future orange Skittles.

Its possible to run continually using careful timing, likely based on animation.
At several points in your stamina bar, its possible to run past the point where you would fatigue. The most consistent point I could find was about 1/16 of the way down the stamina bar, so getting this consistently requires some effort and analysis.
I believe this is due to a problem with the running animation. Theres a period where the running animation resets (naturally), and it seems like that shift provides a temporary blindness to Ambers stamina. Once its ignored going to its minimum, it simply continues long past it. Alternatively, it could be some sort of mathematical miscalculation, which I unfortunately dont have enough insight into to reason out.
This glitch is great for high mobility speedruns and time trials, but its wildly inconsistent. It would require practice to hit the mark repeatedly, with the good news being that its easily accessible. Theres no complicated set of circumstances and actions to memorize, just hit Shift at the right time.
These clips were recorded in Prototype 0.6.7.
Despite the video, I actually enjoy this game a lot even in this pretty glitchy state, and Id love to see it finished. If it looks interesting to you, be sure to check out the Kickstarter or download the demo on Steam and try it yourself.
