So.

This was my magnum opus of Knytt levels, my first and last.

I worked on this nonstop for almost six months, and then, when I was ready to release it, I stopped. I'm still not quite sure why. All I know is that I found this level, 98% completed, in a folder while sorting through my games trying to free up disk space.

I haven't played it through again yet, all I did was add an ending to it.

Basic premise: Juni gets involved in a teleporter accident and is kicked off to some world. The goal is to find your way back home. Cliched even when I did it, to be sure, but I focused more on level design than a brilliant plot.

Here's what to expect:

The first ever (at least, that I know of) intentional wallswim

Nein, both Farik's "Ascention" and my "The Mysterious Grotto" used wallswims to fake flying up.

I'm gonna try this, though, just for the hell of it.

Edit: Might I suggest a mirror download?

Okay. I'm stuck. I got double jump, and can't access the area to the far right top anymore. I also found

I'm trapped between a code gate and a teleporter that doesn't go anywhere...

God I hate Megaupload.. guh..
Use a good file sharing place like.. Mediafire.

Invisible blocks and guess jumping does not make for a good level. Problems so far:

Not looking good for this level.

Do keep in mind this was my first, so I'm more than open to criticism.

ffff, I'll try to get a Mediafire link up soon. Thanks for the heads-up.

The area closed off by the miners'(?) committee, but that doesn't lead anywhere, atleast not with only three powerups.

Picture or room coordinates would be very helpful, or at the very least what area you're in.

- Font for text sequences sucks.
- Eye puzzle was sort of random. Should maybe tie it into the story.
- No save points on the invisible block jumping puzzle is stupid.

Not looking good for this level.

Fair enough. I'd rather have an honest criticism than a blind 10/10.

Before, and I just finished it. I'm liking it so far, I just finished the huge climb so I'm set now, I can strategy jump. Its looking good. I'l retract the thing about the font. Its less the text and more tha black on white that bothers me and yes your idea for changing the background was a good one. Keep up the good work.

Excellent! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it so far.

I chose white on black as part of that minimalist aesthetic of the game (translation: they were placeholder cutscenes that I ended up leaving in because I was too lazy to make actual pictures).

Yes, the High Jump and Double Jump areas close off once you get the items from them. It's to keep the flag warps that keep those areas working from fouling up.

That area requires the High Jump, Double Jump, and Invisible Eye, IIRC.

Well, I don't have, nor can I find High Jump and Invisible Eye.
