Game Is Hard Level 90 Breakdown
What You See
A cross-shaped pad shows four grey arrows pointing north, east, south, and west, with the question "can you face all directions?" below them.
The arrows are compass readings, not buttons. They respond to the phone's magnetometer — physically turning the device to face a cardinal direction lights up the matching arrow.
Why You're Stuck
I tapped the arrows expecting them to be buttons, and nothing happened. I thought the level wanted me to navigate something on screen.
The answer was the phone's compass. Facing the device south lit the south arrow green, then I turned through the other directions to light them all. The question was literal — face all four directions with the phone.
The Answer
Use your phone as a compass. Physically turn the device to face north, east, south, and west, holding each direction steady until its arrow lights green. Once all four arrows are lit, the level completes.
How to Beat It
Work through it one move at a time.
- Step 1: Face south first. Hold the phone level and turn it until it faces south. The bottom arrow lights green to confirm the compass is reading.
- Step 2: Hit the other directions. Turn the device to face the remaining cardinal directions — north, east, west — holding each one until its arrow lights.
- Step 3: Complete all four. Once every arrow is green, the level resolves.
Troubleshooting
- The arrows won't light: they're not buttons — they read the phone's compass. Physically turn the device, don't tap.
- A direction won't register: hold the phone steady and level while facing that direction. A shaky or tilted phone can throw off the magnetometer.
- I'm indoors and it won't work: compass readings can be affected by metal or magnetic interference. Move away from large metal objects and rotate slowly.
Why It Works
The level turns the phone into a compass. The four arrows aren't controls — they're a live readout of the magnetometer, and 'face all directions' is a literal physical instruction. The trick is recognizing that the arrows are output, not input: you don't press them, you satisfy them by orienting the device. It's another sensor-level where the phone's position in the real world is the puzzle input.
The Rule to Carry Forward
When a level shows compass arrows or cardinal directions, use the phone's magnetometer — physically orient the device. Arrows that read 'face' or 'turn' are output indicators, not buttons to press.
- Compass arrows are readouts, not buttons — orient the device.
- Hold the phone level and steady for a clean reading.
- A direction question is literal: physically face that way.
The arrows are a compass readout. Physically turn the phone to face north, east, south, and west — each direction lights its arrow green.
Tapping the arrows. They're compass outputs — you physically turn the phone to face each direction to light them.
