I was worried 55 might be just too hard! I could hit it during testing but yeah, I think with a a few more upgrades (I love the idea of upgrading the griffin) it'd be more manageable. The strat I used to hit 55 seconds was to just build up _all_ my height at the start (slingshot, griffin) then parachute immediately and hope to get lucky with bounces. I'll play with an upgradeable griffin.
Also I hadn't even considered making the parachute togglable! That's a neat idea and makes so much sense.
And thanks for playing, I'm still not over the thrill of strangers playing my games :)
