Here it is, a demo of one of the hardest maps in the game, this is a very hard map and is not easy at all, however
the level in the bottom-right corner is a little easy it will  increase difficult ALOT in the next demo, it is very hard

Hm. That IS difficult. I can't even get the level to open... :D
But seriously. The .zip file won't open for me.  I don't know if this is a problem with how the level was uploaded or not, but it won't work regardless.

First of all, Press e for room name.
Secondly, it can be longer.
I like how you don't put a 20x20 Veni Vidi Vici Tunnel in the level, because that's hated more than cutoff tiles, really, really.
If you really, really want things to be hard, add enemies.
You may want to enlarge the level.
Shift+left/right/up/down to increase the level's width/length.
Try to add some trinkets - that's a good way to drive people crazy, while feeling less pressured.
It's not that bad of a level. I can see its potential. Keep it up!
Don't do the checkpoint starvation thing though, I find such difficulty to be artificial than 'true' difficulty.

EDIT: Oh, and viridian very often get stuck when disappearing platforms collide with moving platform (bottom left room), so you need to change the design.
Maybe some vertical gravity lines too? Warping (Press 'W' or use warp lines) is also home for many challenging, arduous but fun rooms. You may want to look to it.

I promise these improvements in the next demo!  :viridian:
