Help
This is where the player can send a message to RobTop via email if there are any issues with the game. There is a FAQ for the game, but it appears to be under construction. The credits of the game also appear in the Help section.
Low Detail Mode can be toggled there, which limits the number of special effects like particles from the jump rings and portals in order to increase the performance for low-end devices and the Background (If you have a High Device) changes to Medium Quality.
In the bottom-right corner, there are two buttons, labeled "Req" and "Restore." The Req button confirms level moderator status and the restore button does not appear to have any current purpose.
