Oh I see now, thanks for providing the GIF. That jump across that gap is actually intended to be impossible until you go back and get another powerup from a small area to the left of where the game started. I realize now that the jump does look like it could maybe be possible, so it's not clear what needs to be done. I think I'll put a note on the game page for now until I can update the game.

Oh, I see now! The most unobvious thing for me here was that I should return to the VERY beginning, back to the first location. Collected all 5 fireworks, so it works:) BTW The ability to go through passage between locations exists by default, no need to take powerup for it beforehand.
Great, thanks for giving it another go! You're right, it looks like I forgot to actually add a check in the code that you have the doorway powerup, lol. The game is supposed to be a metroidvania, but since my game is so linear up to that point I totally understand that needing to go way back isn't obvious. I was running out of time before the deadline to put more work into the level design, but for this genre especially I wish I had dedicated more time to it.
