What is Direct Mode, and how do I use it?

If I understand it correctly (I don't have 2.1), you can use it to place any tile you want, so you can have more than one tileset in one room, and you can get access to tiles you couldn't access before, and even tiles that weren't even used in the main game (like one-way walls and faster quicksand blocks).

IIRC, you have to press F10 to activate it, and you can switch tiles with ctrl (+ arrow keys?)

Well I used something like Direct Mode with which you can also do it.

It's called a text editor, and it's very hard, but hey, it works :)

I think that the problem is that you have version 2.0. instead of 2.1.beta. That's why Dav999 said this:

You can get it from the thread "2.1. Beta patch Final" thread in the "VVVVVV Tech Support" board. There still isn't a version for Mac OS, though.
I don't know why anybody hasn't mentioned this yet.
If you have 2.1.beta, then it's you're doing it wrong or glitch.
