As for the EXT version I was unable to keep both KS+ and Ext in synchro so I have to decide abandone Ext version.

I mean the last one before the transition if you still have it. Looks like it was version 5a.

Incredible level! I did look in the editor to find one code I missed and 2 crystals.
On 1st playthrough I ran short of 3 creatures and 1 coin, on 2nd I missed 4 creatures and 2 coins. After I release the new KS Ex version I'll upload a modification of the level with added KS Ex support for golden creatures, coins and tint+attach (all done via a Lua script). My 2nd playthrough was in KS Ex with a ball with a few switches back to Juni in places inaccessible to the ball due to its bigger width.

This is an amazing level, but towards the end problems with challenge design spoiled a big part of the fun.
Linear structure of the level (with the exception of the starting area) and inability to go back (despite what's incorrectly said at x1027y1001) don't facilitate collecting golden creatures well.
Could you upload the last version made for KS Ex too? I'd like to play it with a ball too.

Spoiler: more bugs and (k)nitpicks (click to show/hide)

x1008y994 - invisible killing tiles
x1032y987 - ledges in the tower could use jump-through platforms
x971y1026 - autosave shift
x1021y965 - must have save point! At a point before you get killed by an invisible small black spider. Overall this area has bad challenge design all over it - lots of surprise deaths due to lack of vision and the random spewer at x1021y966 with its projectiles completely blocking the way when you're unlucky. Random creatures added to challenges that would be fair otherwise are the problem in a number of other screens in the level as well.
x998y970 - was this screen supposed to have water physics like the others?
x998y966 - need a save point at 12y8.
x1024y965 - if you jump down here after getting the double jump, you have to go through the whole transformer again.

thanks a lot for these. I  fixed something and reuplaoded new version. As for the EXT version I was unable to keep both KS+ and Ext in synchro so I have to decide abandone Ext version.

I played Legend of Second town. It's decent enough by the standards of early KS levels, and clearly had plenty of effort put into it.

Although it has some pretty questionable design decisions. Such as not starting you off with the run powerup and making you go through some pretty tedious challenges to get it. Or the large amount of backtracking, particularly when you try to do things in the wrong order. However, the biggest problem is that the progression doesn't really make sense and causes a lot of confusion regarding the level's main objective. I get the impression that it was changed late into development without the creator fully considering the consequences.


It doesn't help that the level seems to have no ending. I had to open it in the level editor to confirm that I didn't overlook anything.

Also, the only good thing I can say about the translation is that I believe I usually understood what it was trying to say.


Hope this doesn't come off too harsh. I still had some fun with the level, and I appreciate you sharing it here. I just don't think it really holds up.

Lovely level. I'm playing through it and enjoying myself a lot. Was the intro cutscene inspired by The Waiting Room in any way?
The golden jumpy creature hidden in the spike floor... was an insane idea. I love it.
