Interesting. I could stick to the ceiling that was directly above me, but not the one that was higher up and to the right. I assumed it was just an oversight like how you can climb walls by mashing jump.
it was originally a glitch but I thought it was fun so I kept it in, you can use it to get effectively another jump, I should have swapped the third obstacle in that level with that one it was just a long stretch that forced you to stick to the ceiling for an extended period of time. but yeah that was intended to help you get an extra height
