Looking back at this game 2.5 years after making it, I think it's alright for a needle game that can be beaten in half an hour or less. Difficulty rating based off Medium mode.

The game is considered cleared when all 6 areas are cleared, there is no final area. That's because back in 2018 I didn't know how to make it so a warp would only appear when all stages were cleared. Looking back at concepts I had for the final area... I'm glad there isn't one, lol. The final area concepts were terrible.
One of the reviewers mentioned "it feels like some areas are missing low gravity but I'm not too sure about that" about blue area. I noticed that too. If you're in the rightmost column of 32 pixels, the gravity is normal. I... have no idea why that is.
And sorry for putting two 2fs in a row in brown area, I would definitely remove it if I still had the project file.

Started seemingly decent with red (aside from questionable visuals) and yellow.

Purple was pretty chill if you forget the solid platform, could have used miniblocks to avoid confusion.

Brown is rough, but fortunately it's possible to 3f dip instead of 2f for the first jump, and the second one can be skipped with the 3f method and the lack of save blockers.

Green was ok

Blue is a big no, introducing the gimmick while inside a diamond + changing the gravity physics to water during inverted might be one of the worst ways to introduce it.
And it's not like the following jumps were easy either to do.

Inside that area it was fine except for the one inverted save in the center that could have really used better positioning or a change in the layout, like some more space to be able to jump through. Otherwise it's maybe 2 or 3 frame or margin to be able to do a somewhat low jump to avoid death.

Blue alone is what make me note this very low, would give this a 5.6 probably.

Was pretty good, nothing too annoying. Disappointed that nothing happens when you clear all 6 areas.
