Buttons occur throughout the game. Many of them move certain black platforms while others raise or lower water in the current level. They first appear in the level 1.3.
Appearance[]
Regular buttons are small rectangles that are attatched to either the floor, a wall or a ceiling. Unlike colored buttons, regular buttons only come in one color, which is white. They are described by Chris as a "glowing, white...thing," suggesting that normal buttons glow. Regular buttons appear to work in water, much like blue colored buttons.
Activation[]
In order to activate a button, any character must either step on it or push against it. it does not matter from which direction it is hit from to activate it.
Special Buttons[]
Some buttons may be located in toxic water. Only Claire is able to activate these buttons because of her bouyancy abilities.
Effects[]
Buttons usually move platforms or sets of spikes. Some can raise or lower the water in a certain level. Other buttons can reveal portals hidden behind a block or blocks.
