Quite good game so far, nice production value. However my complain: The way to the first secret warp where you have to backtrack the whole room is way too hard in comparison to the other rooms in stage 1 and it also includes a jump which is ridiculously hard to make if you dont know how to jump cancel or if you just cant do it. It would be reasonable if there would be at least a save at the end of the room where the warp is triggered.
Here is what I mean, the top part is in no relation to the other screens of stage 1 in terms of difficulty and the last jump before the warp is just really mean and unforgiving. Im trying to get to the warp for 3 hours now already (was at the boss before but restarted for the secret)
If you think stage 1 secret is too hard, just wait until stage 2
Anyway, there's an align that makes that jump a lot easier so you can just walk off the spike and double jump, but it makes the corner harder
