Im sorry it ended up being so difficult, especially with it being the first level that most people seem to be having such a hard time with (because I find that the least interesting level tp play or look at imo). I guess I need to have other people play it before posting it to get a better sense of its difficulty, because like you said I as the developer should be able to beat it every time, but the issue is I can :/ This is actually a nerfed version of the level from what was originally presented to me (one of my partners sketched out the level design. As for checkpoints, that is a good idea, I just didnt think the level was long enough to warent it, but clearly that has proven to be an incorrect assessment. So thank you for your feedback, and thank you for taking the time to give the game a try.
