Just scratching the surface of this level, and enjoying it a lot.  Been a while sense I've played such an epic level, and this one has not been too hard so far, which I'm grateful for.  My rule is if I die 20 times at the same spot, I turn on the cheat, which I hate doing, but I haven't had to do this yet, so kudos to you.  XD  Very enjoyable.

Finally played through to the hardest normal ending (requires all four keys) and cool I'm in the credits. 8D

Anyone planning on doing a review for this level, since Fubaka obviously can't review his own level?

Great level. Only got the yellow key on my first run-thru. I've a good idea of where the other keys were at.

Nice level.  I got pretty mad however when I choose the wrong ending and it saved my choice.  I have little time for knytting and now I have to replay everything just to see the other choices.  >:(  Great level otherwise.

Gotta say again this is a great level. I like the story and all the hidden stuff. I do wish some of the challenges were more challenging and less reliant on random chance but whatever.

Second time thru I realized I was completely wrong about where the other keys were and quit. Third time thru I got the

If you need help finding the keys, you can always ask me via PM.

Are you guys getting the detector? It will help you track down those keys. Also, if you didn't play the tutorial at the beginning, you should. It gives some very subtle clues about how to find some certain secrets.

Nice level.  I got pretty mad however when I choose the wrong ending and it saved my choice.  I have little time for knytting and now I have to replay everything just to see the other choices.  >:(  Great level otherwise.

I was a bit annoyed by this at first too. Then I realised the level is meant to be play-throughed multiple times from start to finish since it's pretty early on that the level changes based on secrets.

Update:  I have released another small update for the level, 1.0.2.  This new release adjusts a few save points, rearranges some tiles in the Silver Mountain Interior to curb wallswimming, and makes a few more minor changes.

I would like to point out that my playthrough of this level has been documented in the form of a Let's Play. Hopefully, this fact is not as insignificant as I suspect it might be.

I played through the beta a while ago but I'm really interested in the way that there's dialogue options in spots now. I haven't played through this level fully yet but that was a really cool idea.

Update Again: I have released yet another update to the level, this one adding a few more screens near the beginning.  Let's just say the level won't kill you for making that foolish mistake anymore.

You should really consider releasing update packages for those who already have an old version of the level. The simple way to do this is to remove the music and ambiance folders before compressing the level. 109 MB is a lot to download repeatedly.
