[Hard][Challenge] Tower of Mani-Chaka

I wanted to release Flipping Out before this, because

But since Flipping Out is taking a lifetime and a half to finish, here we are :)
You should probably play The Storm's Coming before this level, if you don't want to be mildly confused.

The world has started disappearing into purple void, and a mysterious voice tells Juni to go to the tower.
This level has a few neat little concepts I've come up with. Such as taking away power ups within certain tiles and hiding enemies behind blocks to create "security systems".

I intended it to have some nifty music from the game Vexx, but I had to change that to comply to the copyright rules.

Also, I'm not exactly sure what the difficulty should be, so I need some advice on that one.

Anyway, here's the download link!

i would say normal... and pretty small

not bad though... seems like a lot of story for such a small level... i do enjoy the hidden evils and the effects on powerups in certain areas... i'd love if u incorporated that in your larger level :)

Wow, this was pretty darn good, Gorf.  I would say it is hard only because of certain parts, as it is said, the level is as hard as the hardest part of the level.  Keep it up, man.
Teeeheee

That was extrodinarily clever.  I mean, the concept is pretty mind blowing, and I wonder why no one else has thought of it.

Be assured, I may use the loss and gain of powers later on.  It's just too good to let go.

Bravo.
Forever working on a Level called Sarah.

Go right ahead, grimwit. I've learned that I can't really make very extensive levels and they end up just being little showcases of concepts I've thought of. If you can incorporate this particular concept into a bigger level, that would be pretty cool.

Wait, eh, the storm's coming, was that the level with a boss and seeweed?
If so, I gotta play this!

Am I playing the same level as everyone else? I like the concept, but the climb of the tower with the breach is easily reaching lunatic difficulty for me; I've tried loads of times and I can't do it, and I'm fairly good at harder levels.

So yeah, I was enjoying this but I don't think I'm going to finish it, so I'm pretty disappointed.

@Talps: I totally agree. If memory serves, that's the final challenge.

Talps, are you using the umbrella?

Yes I am. I guess maybe I'm just 'trying to hard'. I'm jumping as late as possible by instinct, meaning I'm moving though screens you didn't intend me to.

Hold up. Actually, if it's the jump I think you're at, you do NOT want to use the umbrella.

EDIT:

It probably is a lot tougher than I think. I've gone through it so many times that it seems too easy for a final challenge to me. That's one of the dangers of level making, I guess.

Really nice level. Not much I can say about it that hasn't been said before, but I really enjoyed it.
