Thank you so much for the comment and the thanks!
And I want to truly commend you for getting that far while playing your first run on hard mode, as it was made with the assumption that the player had beaten normal mode already. The escape mission in particular is far, far harder on hard mode than normal, it’s still hard for me and I designed those levels. If you ever feel like giving it another shot there’s no shame in playing normal mode!
We’re so glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing!
Addendum: if you ever wanted to see what else the level had in store, Autopawn made a gif showcasing a trick to passing the jump we think you’re talking about
