Thanks! :D

The level is about 95% done and completely playable (which means I already placed every collectible item and all areas should be reachable without cheating). The only things that are still missing are the intro cutscene and a bunch of screens for the very last bonus area. I was planning on finishing all these things this weekend, but then I got sick and had to spend two days in bed. So... poop :/ Still, I'm confident I can get this done in the next few days, since I'm feeling a lot better now.

Also, I feel it's time for some testing and external feedback. I already have a volunteer, but if someone else wants to be a tester too, that'd be great. It's always useful to have multiple opinions on the same matter. If you're interested, just post here or PM me.

Edit: Got enough testers for now. Thanks for the quick responses!

Don't forget about me, blubblublubbllublu!
Things to remember when writing figures of speech and sound:
The power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic. Defy logic often.

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky. Tell us that your lover is the sky. When you do that, we won't believe you. We won't believe you because saying so makes no sense, but we'll see a meaning. We'll see a meaning.

The other thing is the ability to be remembered. Love anything.

Well, that was quick... which is awesome :D Thanks! I'll send you guys a PM with the details.

Edit: Got a ton of really useful feedback from the betatesting round. Thanks again to those who participated!

I'm going to use this week to finish up the level design and address as many of the reported issues as I can. Once this is done, the release should follow shortly (unless some malevolent force makes me get sick again just to spite me for having a big mouth)

After some considerations, I made the following changes to the level based on the feedback provided by the testers:


There are still a few more modifications I want to try out before the final release, if I have enough free time this weekend.

Also, yay me for being 33 as of today. Man, I feel old.

Whoa man! I didn't realize you were a whole ten years older than me.

Happy birthday, Bubs!

Great, now I feel even older. Guess it's time to make it official and buy the cane and rock chair.

Thanks! :D
