https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzl1nGAgqfw hey! this is actually live now if you are interested in watching the actual stage layout!

Before the devkit was available, i had begun by opening up some graph paper in SAI and mocking up some... VERY general level layout stuff that ultimately didn't get a whole lot of it used. at the bottom is the most interesting stuff where I defined the level's gimmick as a way to illustrate to my programmer what I wanted out out of it.

Funnily enough, our mirror slopes ended up reintroducing a bug into the engine that the devs had squashed out before. Oopsies! I wonder if that'll be in the final game or not? we actually did not have a lot of time to polish the level, or i'd have actually made animated tiles or tried to sand down some of the rougher screens and checkpoint more often.
