Ganymede (my 2D platformer with a big story)

[Sacred Jellybean]

I got a chance to play another level. But before I did that, I went back to the first secret level, to see if there was a secret exit in there that would keep me along the path of the secret hub world. Having exhaustively searched it, I think I can conclude that no such secret exit exists. I went back to the second level in the main hub, and found that there's another hidden exit that takes you to a credits screen. Upon its conclusion, going through to unlock the treasure chest brings me to the second level in the secret hub. I think I see the pattern now...

I suppose it follows that if the first secret level is icy cold, the second will be firey hot. You put a few nice sleights-of-hand in here, where the character must jump down to a platform below, whose ground is not visible, except for flames rising up from it, precisely where you have to land, causing the player to doubt whether they'll be jumping to their death.

I was delighted to see this little guy appear. I forgot about the doofy lava dragons in SMW :3



I like the design of these demons. They look a bit like gargoyles, or even resemble those bird statues in Super Metroid.



For some reason, in a couple spots where I fell into the lava, instead of showing the normal death animation, the screen just freezes for a few seconds before putting me back at the start of the level. Here's one of them.



It was a pretty tough level. Shut up, I know I died a lot of times. It's this damn controller. I keep losing my temper and explaining to the screen that when I push a button, it needs to take the appropriate action. Pretty much standard Beanjo spazzing out, ngl
