[Enviromental][Normal] Emma fell down a well

The "regular" ending was great, especially the underground windows which might've been one of my favorite areas, but one thing I did NOT like was the secret ending. The secrets were all really well hidden and I enjoyed finding them. The large, cavernous spaces holding each key, and and the "false" secret endings seemed to be leading up to something grand and spectacular, like a hidden ancient alien spaceship or a castle or hidden dimension or something and after such an amazing, scenic, detailed level with all its intricacies, I was really putting my hopes up... and then the big secret was just four screens of green background paint. And it didn't seem like it was "LOL SECRIT ENDIGG!!!" tongue-in-cheek anti-climactic either, which I think would have been funny, it seemed like a genuine anti-climax. Maybe some trees and animals with a few more screens to really convey a hidden garden of Eden sort of thing? Just a suggestion.  :P

If there is one thing I were to improve with this level it would definitely be that last ending. I planned for the garden to be there early on but when it came to design it, it proved to be a difficult task with the tilesets I had.

I still feel that I could have done it better, but I kinda rushed this out to work on my next project. I might go back and improve it some day, but I still don't know how I'm gonna do it. Some more screens and animals would definitely improve it so I might just do that, but I would rather improve the entire theme of it. Make it feel more "divine" or something :P

Thank you for the feedback, I'm always trying to improve and highly appreciate it :)

There was one scene, about halfway through, at x996y988 that I really liked... the little bright waterfall with the green trees. For some reason, it was so beautiful and peaceful, and you only get a glimpse, that I was sure that this would be part of the ending in some way... like maybe the climbing upgrade would allow you to reach it or the end would look similar. I think if you a secret ending with a similar visual style would be successful... it just looks like what the Greeks might've imagined a grove of the Gods to look like or something.

I did actually try that, but the feeling was lost when I turned it into a full area. And giving the player the climb upgrade I feel would be a mistake as there would suddenly be too much to explore. But maybe if I block off some passages.. Hmmm..

I've definitely got some things to think about now. Thanks once again for the feedback :)

When you go from where you get the high jump towards the ending there is an alternative path you can take. From that path you can find the key :)

I discovered a wallswim in the very last screen of the normal ending (x1013y984), when I tried to go back into the cave by jumping to the left (the ceiling tiles are not solid).
