It was that I went back through the barrier between one & two which sent me back to one - so more user error :D Although backtracking between levels could be interesting - some sort of speed-matters metroidvania

Oh, I didn't test backtracking at all! But I agree that it could be an interesting idea. I always like it when metroidvania games have unique abilities instead of standard dash and double jump so abilities related to speed could be fun.
