These | These black squares usually read "EXIT". Some also say "L##", the number indicating what level you'll skip to if you take that exit. Finding these jump exits will get you through the game faster, so using the first exit you find isn't always the best plan. Sometimes the exits are hidden or require a key to access. | ||
