Fantastic game

There was some gliches with medals not working but seems to work, this was a nice platformer style A fantastic game indeed with a style all on its own, you have still created some nice details and elements that make it that much more fun of a platformer here was something fun yet different and even unique with a nice style, Here was another fun platformer game you really make it seem fun, So on that note I do want to say I had a fun experience with this game.

feels like the game's been updated since last i played because levels aren't numbered anymore and the worlds have a different naming convention. seems like the minecarts wall glitchs have also been "fixed" by completely removing walls collision.

nothing much to add except the ice machanic is still atrocious, especially that one level (you know the one), where you need to climb back and forth on slippery ledges, with spikes on the back walls, while being shot down from above. it's so inconsistent.

there's also a mildly annoying thing with world 8 where torches don't respawn on death, so you basically have to clear the level without dying if you want to have a chance to see the level layout at all.

i still cannot unlock the medal for defeating the final boss, and i still have no idea why.
it triggers fine in-game, but on newgrounds it just doesn't show up

Here's something to know. When medals award in-game they do not award on your profile at that time. In order to get them on your profile, reload the game and (re)play a level or two and wait around a bit. All 5 medals required this!

I would also suggest no more mine cart levels in any future games. I understand you are most likely taking inspiration from the Donkey Kong Country series (or maybe Pac-Man 2?) and it worked in those games, but those were by far the worst of the levels in this game.

In fact one of the mine cart levels (Secret 42) I'm not sure is possible because you put a red block that is way too high to jump but too low to roll under right up top of a steep incline before the trophy.

Fortunately the game bugs in the counting sometimes, such that it gives you more levels completed or more secrets completed than you've actually completed. That was nice because for example I'm not sure that (Secret 42) is doable as-is so that helped out. It seems to only bug in favor of the player, which is nice.

It's probably not a bad idea to give the player a tiny amount of wiggle room anyway and not require absolute 100% completion on a game of this difficulty. Anywhere from 95% to 98% should be "good enough". With how many stages there are and how difficult they are, this isn't unreasonable and it's not without precedent.

This is pretty fun and challenging and I like how you broke it down to small levels. Your previous game was a bit cumbersome, especially with the long in-between levels where if you screwed up, you had to start all over, again and again (almost rage-quit level of frustration). This one is nice being able to tackle levels in any order.

The ice levels took some getting used to. A tip, if you let go of the movement while jumping, you can land without sliding. One level (forget which) requires using a left-right 'glitch' to pass some spikes. Basically hold right for a few seconds and press left, then you can jump at full speed immediately. Only had to use that once, though.

Mine-cart levels were a bit annoying at first, but you can memorize the timing, more or less. Secret mine-cart levels were more random with the spinning spikes, so those may require a lot more repeats to get through. If you're close to the end and drop, as long as you pass the edge of the screen, it should pass that level.

Few levels that might be broken, Secret 31, in the middle where the trophy is, I can't find a way off that platform due to the spacing of the blocks up to the sides. Running off lands you in the fire pit and jumping, you always hit the block. Unless there is special technique, I don't see how to progress from this point. Can't get off that platform either way.

Area E, level 5, I can't find any way to the trophy. Unless it requires absolute perfect timing with the doors and the entry is right below, I can't find a way in.

Area D, level 3, as mentioned, can't find the trophy anywhere.

Kind of waiting to get those last three before moving onto the boss level.

Also seems to be a problem with Flash crashing if the game has been running a while. Not a big issue since you can just reload and the levels are short enough that you don't lose much , if any, progress.

Overall, a great, challenging game. Some levels are a cakewalk, others quite challenging, but overall nicely balanced.

Love this type of challenging games. Especially the quirky jumping. :D

Can't seem to find the trophy in Area D 003 (World 4 - Level 3 - Minecart) though. Any clues?
