There are a number of areas in the game where there's a one-block high tunnel you have to roll through. These are commonly one-way tunnels, but using this trick, you can sometimes go through them the opposite way.
In order to do this, you must be playing as Tobe, and you must be able to wallrun on the block underneath the tunnel exit (even just one block is fine for this trick). Wallrun up the block and once Tobe has grabbed a hold of the ledge, hold down and the direction of the ledge simultaneously. This will make Tobe dislodge from the block and immediately grab back onto it, but because of the way the wallrun pushes Tobe further into the block than he does by normally grabbing the ledge, he gets far enough inside to climb up into the tunnel.
The most practical use for this is 3-4, which allows you to ignore the path with bubbles at the very beginning in favor of going straight to the left.

Tactical Underground Stealth Action. This crazy-looking glitch lets you drop yourself down into the floor and sneak up on unsuspecting land-based mammals.
On any flat surface, cycle rapidly between crouching and prone. (Sometimes you may need to move a bit as well.) If done correctly, youll sink into the floor and end up in a crouching position with just your head cresting above the tiles. When you stop moving, youll drop back down into the depths from which you inserted yourself. You can also easily perform Physics Crushes while in the ground, since its incredibly confusing for the game.

This likely happens because of confused hitboxes, with the crouch position not placing Amber quite right when switching to prone. Repeated switching exacerbates the problem and pushes her into the ground. I believe she doesnt fall straight through because the tiles are actually cube-shaped assets that appear invisible from the inside, feeding into the illusion that Ambers walking on nothing sometimes.
The glitch isnt supremely useful because the ground doesnt act to impair the vision of guards, meaning you get caught out even when they shouldnt be able to see you. Additionally, cover doesnt help you either, because it typically doesnt extend through the floor. The soldiers will see you at the bottom of their cone of vision, underneath any wall or pillar. Still, its a funny glitch thats simple to pull off even if its far too slow for any speedruns or time trials.
Otherwise, its important to point out that you cant do this on stairs and sloped surfaces, at least as I can gather from my testing.
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.
