Rating/difficulty are based on the base game, not on extra. Extra has two very hard jumps—a strange squished water plane and an animation-dependent squished apple corner/diagonal—that are well beyond the difficulty of the rest of extra. Both are possible; however, the latter jump is not worth grinding for because the animation dependency has a very narrow window, and renex engine resets the animation cycle after every death. This is a serious issue because the animation cycle doesn't line up properly for fast retries; instead, you have to sit there and wait for some indeterminate amount of time to hope for luck to be on your side. It's way easier to do in Jtool because the cycle doesn't reset on death, so you can grind it to your heart's content.
Update: I did the jump with a 5f 8p method, left wall align, and waiting about half a second between attempts. It's still not worth doing in my estimation.
So yeah, I would not recommend extra in its current state. Difficulty-wise, I would say it's mostly 55–60, with that one jump putting it at something higher that I'm not sure how to quantify. Figuring out strats that worked for the two jumps was kind of fun, so I'll give it credit there, and there are a few pretty darn cool manoeuvres.
Base game is good. The jumps are fairly lenient, with the exception of another (much easier) animation-dependent apple align. Aside from that one, they're fairly fun to execute, and good players will cruise through the game with ease. I think the base game would benefit from being one screen longer, though its current length is not a detriment. Players new to L-needle should consider playing the base game.

A two screen L-game. Contains one normal and one EX stage, as well as two secrets. Thank you especially to all the testers for helping me make this game the best it could be. <3

Fly Sky High is, as the name suggests, an FTFA-like. It stays true to its namesake in many ways (none of which I'll spoil); yet it addresses a concern that many players have with the original: its difficulty.
This game is far more accessible for the majority of players. Two things I appreciate about its difficulty are:
1) It is beatable for players interested in the style but not skilled enough for existing FTFA-likes; and
2) It still poses enough challenge for players beyond the skill level required to remain enjoyable to play through.
This combination is not easy to find, which makes me appreciate Fly Sky High that much more.
If you're on the fence about trying FTFA-likes and can handle this difficulty, then strongly consider giving this one a shot.
