[LEVEL SPOILER!]
I think you solved it correctly, the light blue staircase is indeed ment as a red herring haha.
Thanks so much for checking them out!
Regarding the first level; just before submitting I cropped the PNGs so it only has the part you see in-game, but I forgot this makes it so you can walk on the bottom of the level haha. The original intention is that you keep falling down.
Here is an updated version that fixes this.
This game concept is so cool and the execution is so good!
Here are two levels. (These are pretty hard puzzles.) P.S. I'm just realizing I spent all evening drawing a helicopter haha.
(Note: the bungee jumping level is cheesable because I didn't know you can jump in mid-air using restart platforming.)
