The game is hard, but I have difficulty determining how hard it is exactly. All I can say is my playthrough lasted about an hour, though some of that time was spent on jumps I nerfed.

This game means quite a lot to me, so I can only hope the game is enjoyable to you all!

Current version = 1.02

1.02 - Nerfed saves 1 and 3, added save after 3.
1.01 - Bro just check the readme.

------

I won't talk at length about what The Sunken Cathedral means to me as I cover it in the readme, but I just wanted to add here that while this is an attempt at re-creating Magnificent Stumble to some degree, I did NOT want to 100% re-create Magnificent Stumble; instead, I wanted to give my take on the concept using the aspects of Hiddow's design that I felt no one else had utilized. In the end, I don't know how successful I was, but I was recently watching someone play through the game and saw them say that "Hiddow would NEVER make something like that" and it still pisses me off because Hiddow isn't the one that made the game, I did. When people try to make games inspired by notable releases, it's almost never such that they simply want to re-do what that notable release did, they want to put their own unique spin on it. All the same, you get so many people who look at those attempts to re-envision notable releases and just say "oh it's not 100% accurate, such and such maker wouldn't do such and such really minor thing," which they almost certainly are wrong about because they're not the maker themselves and as such can't even speak to that (some people can, I have faith that the person who said Hiddow wouldn't do something like something I did in my game is right as they are very much someone that should know despite not being Hiddow themselves), but much more importantly it completely misses the point.

When someone is inspired by someone or something else, they almost never seek to be the exact same as that someone or something else, they want to create their version of whatever that someone made. I was inspired by Magnificent Stumble, and I wanted to create a version of it on my own, something I think I was successful in doing. This is not a Magnificent Stumble clone, but that it isn't is not a failure but instead a success on my part to make it feel distinct from its inspiration.

Don't let the first save fool you; the rest of the game is quite good despite how horrible the first save is. if not for moogy's review I probably wouldn't have given this game a second chance cause I quit after about 5 minutes on the first save

First save is (in my experience) way harder and the rest and not very fun. The rest of the game is cool, though. Longer saves that manage to not feel grindy or draining and some dank content like the giant save.

The first save should probably be nerfed or just removed, though. It feels like a pointless execution barrier that makes the game as a whole less accessible; I was certainly skeptical after getting through it.
