Ok I played the updated version now I'm back to give more feedback!
The tutorial is much better now, and I really like the blocker things which make it so you have to be strategic with your shots (although I do miss the trail of death). I feel like the stretch of level you have to play on each death is slightly too long now, either checkpoints or shorter levels will fix this. There's a few pits that are impossible to escape from so it feels bad to have to redo the entire level after you miss a jump. But overall big improvement over the last version!
