Hi darnOK:
Thank you so much for taking the time to write so much feedback! I'm glad that you liked the level design. That is what i really tried to focus on this time around. Right before I submitted the game, I thought about pushing the harder levels of world 1 back into a later section of the game. I probably should've done this. However, I was going for a bit of theming to the worlds where the first world was simple platforming and introduced the ropes gradually and then world 2 introduced the RADIALS as the core mechanic for that world. However, like you said, 1-5 and 1-6 (which is even harder imo) probably shouldve been bonus levels at the end.
About your solution to the ropes, I'm a bit confused what you mean by making a bounce or a jump that you can miss. Were you talking about adding an extra floor to the level or changing the programming for the mechanic?
Again thank you for the feedback!
