No, actually. Must just be a similar drawing. I'm sorry if it offended you, but I've never even seen (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2759.0;attach=4359;image) (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2759.0;attach=4359;image) before. :huh:

From the KS Level Competition thread:

One of the jokes was used a bit too many times, tho.

The only problem I found is that you can skip a few difficult screens by jumping on a certain spot and climbing a shaft (instead of going through the intended challenges). There are also a few minor issues, such as the lack of an info screen and some minor glitches (e.g., when you pick up the bottle for the second time), but nothing really annoying or game-breaking.

You you think you could possibly elaborate on these a bit more in the main thread? I'm not quite sure what you're talking about..

Spoiler: Joke (click to show/hide)

The joke I was referring was the idea of using an item at the wrong place. It was pretty funny, but it got a little repetitive when I got to the rubber duck screen.

As for the "shortcut", I was talking about the rubber duck screen:

You can double-jump from a ledge and reach the shaft. Then you can just climb the wall and get to the top without having to go through the challenge screens on the left. Here's a screenshot:

Because you can go back after getting the run powerup. (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/9b0990e46c.gif)

Well, that's pretty much what the level revolves around. I made sure that no matter how badly you screw up you can still at least reach an ending.

Yes, I can see that's one of the main ideas of the level. Don't get me wrong, it IS funny X)  But when you get to the rubber duck screen, it doesn't catch you by surprise anymore.

Maybe you could have tried to fool the player into thinking that was the intended solution and then make something nasty happen as soon as he/she tries to proceed to the next screen :P
