[Challenge/Hard] [Small] Fire and Brimstone

This here is a little challenge level. It's not as polished as Moonlight or Pestilence, I'm afraid, because I'm kind of losing interest in making KS levels, and so I couldn't be bothered to fix all the background-foreground layer problems, or work on, well, stuff. As long as the challenges work, eh. Anyway, here it is:

It kind of uses the visual style I used in Moonlight and Pestilence, so if you didn't like those (I know some people really didn't), maybe you shouldn't play this. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here are two screenshots. The game is taking place on floating islands, one of the screens shows the top of an island, and the other the bottom.

(Oh, the plot: Juni is dreaming, and in her dreams there's a tall black tower with a mysterious light.)

I know, thanks for the support Maybe the lack of interest is a temporary thing. I still have a few levels I want to make, just not feeling like working on them at the moment.

...after I get the purple key and get through the lock, I can't go anywhere... it's all blocked off by spikes...

Just checked and it was working... maybe some minor server problem. Here's a sendspace link in case it happens again:

Nice level. It was a bit difficult figuring how to escape the purple key save, but fun nonetheless. I like the cutscenes.

Thanks! I've never made a proper challenge level before, I tried to balance things by progressing from easy challenges to harder ones, the umbrella and the purple key being the hardest. Good to see the purple key thing worked!

The purple key challenge was pretty easy, maybe hard. The umbrella was more like very hard, but I think purple key was still the second hardest.
