Ok. Sorry but this really irks me. I found your level at knytt levels archive and you have the name of the level under "author" and your name is under "level name".

Further more, after I installed it I can't find the level under either Amnesia or Madlenka. So, I searched the level editor and found neither the words Amnesia or Madlenka.

I have over 500 levels in KS Advanced. It's a real pain in the ass searching for misnamed and misplaced levels. How do you  expect anyone to play if they can't find it?

You're not the only one who's done this though. It happens now and again.

*edit* Ok. I finally found it. It's in the level editor as HUSZZAGH-etc. etc. 

Took me awhile. grrrrr

I liked the level. Too bad we don't use telegraphs anymore :) Exploring wall-swims and voids is also enjoyable, but there's a bit too much of them here.

Here are some unmentioned bugs:

I think having 500 levels in Worlds folder is pretty unmanegable. I keep all the levels I've finished in "done" subfolder.

Thanks very much :) I will do my best to fix it! yes, it is my first level, it is so helpful to have others spot the bugs I have missed.

the second song is called Your Hand In Mine, by the band Explosions in the Sky. I love it too :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzIK5FaC38w

thanks again!

Eh, I'm sorry, but there were just too many bugs in this, and I thought the first music really clashed with the environment... It was so loud, too. I never even realized there was another song following that one, since I switched the sound off at some point. And I like Explosions in the Sky, so I kept trying to get the music back on every few screens to see if I finally reached an area where their song is playing! :crazy: Why would you put two songs into one file? You could use two files and thus finetune which song you want for a particular environment...

There were also some common first level mistakes, such as enemies placed too close to the margin of the screen, becoming unpleasant surprises for anyone approaching them from the adjacent screen; overreliance on enemies and traps appearing when the player approaches, making the player want to go through the level using walk mode only, random illogical no-climb walls that would've been better realized as something else impeding the player's progress. Those are all usual mistakes, but coupled with those bugs they made the level a bit annoying at times...  :(

On the plus side, there were many different environments and even nice extra screens that weren't part of the main story. I liked that, it's always good to see such things. So I hope you'll make more levels, just try to beta test a bit more next time to weed out those bugs :)
