Yeah so that weird Megaextremist guy captures sackthings and puts them in peril for cheap thrills. Can you believe it? He's gotta be stopped.

I'm actually really happy I'm posting this early. It's kinda funny, I've never spent this little of time on a 85% full thermo. I'm really happy with how this whole level turned out. It might not look like anything special is going on, but behind-the-curtains, quite a few new things happened for me personally creating this. This was the first level done with modular design (and by modular I mean this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J4TX1mNY7M) I made the entire level out of cardboard, and wrote out that cardboard level on paper before I started creating. All of these things made the create process 300% faster and more efficient. This is the most pleasing level I've made sense the very first one I ever made. Please let me know what you think and I'd love feedback/bug reports!

I played this the other day and I really liked what I was seeing and doing until I came to an obstacle that frustrated the fire out of me and I rage quit. The obstacle in question

How in the blue blazes do I get past this?

LOL sorry man, probably the hardest part right there. I'm been used to playing it over and over m/ Using the grappling hook, get to the top of the side with bubbles. You might want to let the grapple lower a bit, then try to swing over the ledge. It SHOULD let you grab the top, but the grappling hook is a bit inconsistent when you try to "aim" it. Once you get to the top. Grab the side, and wait for the fire block to go away. Then release, grab before you hit the next on. Release, grab before you hit the next one, etc.

Would some sort of platform on the left side help at all?

This obstacle slowed me down to. I did manage to get by with the strategy you mentioned the hard part is grappling the circle at the top. I have to try many times. I eventually start mashing buttons and then randomly I make it up and swing through and before I realized I made it I fell into the fire. It is a VERY cool obstacle but I just personally had a control issue at the top.

BTW Great level. I really enjoyed the challenge (and it seemed fair almost always)

I'm sorry to hear that, and In a way I kinda regret using grappling-hook gameplay at all in this level. For me, the real gameplay starts when the imprisoned sackboy tells you to take the Paintinator.

I think a platform at the top left would be best, yes?
