Checked this out last night and...

On the plus side, i really liked the music and the look of the stage, and i really like any chance i get to use the Brain Crane.

On the not-so-plus side, now i'm perfectly willing to accept this as a failing on my part as a player and not the stage itself but...

Fairly early on there's a bit with a bounce pad that sends you into a looped tube with a power-up remover, yeah? So you go through the tube grab the new Brain Crane, and use it to turn two bits lower down (btw, i really liked the little hand markers to show what was grabbable and what wasn't, they were a nice touch and looked good to boot). Anyway, for the life of me i could not figure out where to go from there. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to jump to from where you come out of the tube, the level with the BC on it has a long plasma'd section to the right that you can't get over, and trying to jump from the level with the bounce pad on it doesn't get you anywhere, as there are little plasma'd bits on the sides of the parts i'd just turned with the BC.

i really want to play through the rest of the stage, 'cause early on it felt like it had a lot of promise, and since others were able to finish the stage i have to assume the problem is on my end. So help a sack out and tell me where i was screwing up?

Thank you for playing, and thanks for your input. If I'm correct about the place you got stuck, you need to jump down to the platform below. Press down and hit the jump button. Then you need to turn two switches to continue.

awesome level...I liked that I had to get better at using the move...lets face it...most of us don't use it that often...the jump over obsticle while moving a platform was tricky but really cool. graphics were well fitted, puzzles not too hard(the way I like it).everything fit your theme...great job2012-12-29 16:46:00

Yup, that was it and i feel a right prat for not noticing you could jump down there. Played out the level this morning and had a lot of fun with it. There was a nice clean feel to the level design that really worked for me, it fit the sci-fi theme quite well.

One small point: the last section before the end, with the descending ceiling that plasmafies the floor? The checkpoint before that has no brain crane power-up, though you need it to get the blocks out of the wall to progress. You can fall back to a previous level/checkpoint to get a BC if you die (which i did), but i don't think this was your intent.

All in all a v.good stage that does a great job of incorporating the BC elements! Thanks for giving me a fun chance to use my move for something other than paint!

Thank you for playing! And thank you for letting me know about the missing brain crane, I will fix it as soon as I have time.
