The third level in the Extreme Danger series is finally here!

When will someone reply to this?

A reply: it wasn't that good.

I liked the part where you had to guess where the exit was, with no indication given of what you were supposed to do. I'll let you choose which of those I was referring to.

Oh, also the Contra Code reference. I've never seen that used as a reference before.

Oooooookay?

So I played the level.

What I liked was the green section where the rooms where all slightly different from each other.
Although I think the changes in the later rooms of these could be a bit smaller and a bit more incremental.

What I did not like was that the level was mostly single hard obstacles with a checkpoint right afterwards, this doesn't really require skill to do it but just trying it a few times until you randomly got it, like the ╦╦╦ Room with the 3 Trinkets these aren't unique challenges, but just doing the same flip thrice.
The guessing parts seemed pretty annoying. Maybe name the first Room something like "Remember: Up Up Down Down ...".
Sorry, if you did something like this but I didn't notice it.
Also regarding the Pacman Room why would you make an enemy go through a checkpoint?

So the enemies are symmetrical.

NEVER MAKE AN ENEMY GO THROUGH A CHECKPOINT

[pattoo1234]

Where can I put the checkpoint then?

[uugr]

Don't move the checkpoint - move the enemies. Remove all the enemies in that area if you care so much about 'symmetry'. Having an enemy move through a checkpoint is atrocious design, especially in a room with four trinkets. The player is likely to die a decent amount if they care about the trinkets without hitting a new checkpoint, so what is already terrible has become four times worse. Nobody will care about a slightly easier room in an already reasonably easy level, but something like an enemy floating in a checkpoint is both horribly detrimental to the flow of gameplay and so obvious that the design looks ridiculously lazy.

_{also you could have just swapped the checkpoint and warp token with no change to the gameplay whatsoever but w/e}

Okay.
