Message recieved when installing into KSA: "File corrupt."

Uhhhh...

I don't have KSA so I never tested the level in it... sorry. Have you tried redownloading it? I just got the file from sendspace and it worked just the way it should.

Redownloaded, and tried it in normal KS. Message recieved: "File corrupt."

EDIT: Nevermind, found out it didn't work because there wasn't a .knytt in the name of the file.

EDIT EDIT: I BROKE THE GAME. It is possible to get the high jump early by (using the level editor for finding this, since I can't post a picture right now) going to screen x999y1001 and jumping on the purple box near the top of the screen, then double jumping to the left onto the triangle. This led to the finding of MANY voids.

Um, this all really sounds very odd to me. First off, there most definitely IS a .knytt in the filename! I mean, just click the sendspace link and it tells you the name of the file, and it has a .knytt in it.

As for the second edit, you are actually supposed to get high jump that very way. It's not early in the game, it is the second powerup you get. But voids afterwards? Could you give at least a couple of examples?

EDIT: Could it be that you're using the old link, from the previews section of the forum?

Sorry, I meant wallswims.

Sorry, I meant wallswims.

Right. You're pretty amazing, I didn't even know one could get to some of those places. I'll upload a fixed version tomorrow 

Sorry about finding all these, but I found 2 more...

Oh, and I messed up in the second (Wallswim 3) image. Its supposed to be the 2 spots next to Juni.

Ergh. Fixing those now. Man, I'm really sorry about all these, I just... oh well. I can only hope you got at least some enjoyment from the level.

I did. It was pretty entertaining, I hope you make more like this. 

I fixed all wallswims found by kaizoman666. Here's the fixed version of map.bin:

Or you can get the whole level from the first post of this thread, I updated the link there.

I did a little level that is sort of in the visual style of Pestilence. Get it here:

Also, in case that anyone liked the music in Pestilence, I've uploaded the two main themes in better quality (192kbps) to my website:

http://jashiin.com/improvisations/pestilence-free-cat.mp3 ("Free Cat", the main theme.)
http://jashiin.com/improvisations/pestilence-eye-garden.mp3 ("The Eye Garden". From the eye garden, duh.)

The music from The Parallel Cat is also there, look under the Miscellany heading on jashiin.com.

Thanks for feedback! I'm really glad someone's playing them, things looked kind of sad after The Parallel Cat...

i really like ur levels! especially after just finishing up Moonlight... i shoulda commented on Parallel Cat cuz i quite enjoyed that one too... don't worry... we're playing them ... u just keep making 'em

Thanks, I really appreciate it

Here's a new version of Pestilence:

(or http://www.sendspace.com/file/0fvrfm)

Six new screens. No change to the gameplay, just some more stuff to explore. Also, a few cosmetic changes and some previously unnoticed bugs fixed.

I've got 2 jumps powerups, run and an eye. What do I do now?

If you're having real trouble doing the latter,

I played/tried to play this recently but got thrown out rather abruptly, while still only having a couple of powerups. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be the ending?

That said, I enjoyed the level - what I saw of it - rather more than I expected to. I've played a few other levels with a similar look and idea, and found them barely navigable; yours has the happy distinction of actually being navigable.

Also, there were some screens that were actually quite beautiful, in a surreal, fractured way.

The music was a nice touch, too.
