FIRSTLY I found the same bug I found last jam.

Secondly, I HATE this game.

Not to say that the game isn't good, but it's punishably difficult to the point that sometimes I feel cheated. There are some levels that just make you really frustrated. I got to the end game but I was so frustrated by the time I got there I just wanted it to end. I had not more in me to finish the hidden levels I got to the mainframe hidden level and couldn't go on.

Now, This may be what you're looking to accomplish with the game. If so good work. But for more accessibility, you need to make the game a bit easier. @MewsSnep Comment explains some of the issues really good so I won't repeat it.

Have you ever played The Messenger?

I think you're trying to go for that kind of spark of exploration in the end game. But it feels kinda like a chore here.

Congrats on the progress you've made. Keep it up.

Thank you Joel for taking the time to play through a huge portion of the game, and I really appreciate the honest and super helpful feedback. I definitely was trying to make this a hard to super hard platformer, especially the later levels, but the impression I am getting is that it is more unfair than hard at times. This is something I will definitely try and balance going forward.

I haven't played The Messenger but am always interested in any exploration based action platformer, so I will definitely give it a look. I also have thought about making the endgame levels just bonus experiences and not block off the progression as there's really enough content now where the first 5 levels + the 2 true endgame levels would be enough for this type of game.

Again, thanks to you and everyone who's taken the time with this game. It means a lot to hear your thoughts on this and I really really appreciate it.
