Thanks for playing, and I watched your stream, and like you can say that it was way too difficult, I won't get sad....
But like yeah, we realized how difficult the game actually was only after submitting, because when your like player your own game, it's not that hard, but yeah. And the "red ball", was a lever, but because the bushes were kinda a last minute addition, we didn't realize that the lever went behind the bushes. Also we probably should have clarified the fact that everything you did, will get lost if you don't save at a checkpoint, including levers, so yeah, and also that dash to the rock felt like an obvious thing, but I guess it wasn't.
Also you actually beat the game, which is pretty cool, as said the game was way too difficult.
