by higher order power-ups I also mean fire flower / ice flower / leaf

RotG had many levels with just mushrooms and here it seems like there's only mushrooms completely (though I haven't played very far yet)
Since Reign of the Gatekeepers' initial release, I have added more fire flowers and leaves instead of mushroom power-ups. There is still only 1 place in my episode where you can acquire the hammer suit and as long as you reach a secret house in each world, you can get unlimited amount of that higher order power-up.

Saying that, I do feel that Tomex7's episode could've used more fire flowers and leaves in a lot of the levels (especially in the fire and city worlds).
In the update, I added a leaf, or flower in some places, so it won't be THAT hard. :)

Added a poll to see which World was the most enjoyable and which wasn't to improve my methods in the future :D

I guess first fix the difficulty of the sanctuary.
I kinda like the design showing the "Corruption" of different world themed level.
But Rinkas, lava tiles, other projectile make it harder, even the final section where you have to break all the 5-6 glass is too harsh to beat.

I'll consider it :roll: Glad to hear that you enjoyed most of the design.

Hi: I got stucked in the Crystal palace because the checkpint doesn't work. You get back to the begenning of the level when you die. Please fix that so I can continue playing your episode, which I'm liking a lot. Thanks.

That's a strange problem. One that I haven't encountered yet, but I'll do my best to fix it. Thanks :D

Also, every level that you walked through a door at the beginning, the checkpoints will never work

I wish more people knew of that bug. A stream lasting a few hours on 4-6 is a good indication there. I like most of it so far, but yeah, 4-6 seems to be a bit overboard. 4-6 and 1-6 seem to be the only places I know about this bug happening in. I did not even know about this bug til around a week or two ago.

Edit: I would suggest splitting 4-6 to have the checkpoint before the Lava Fence section that uses the moving Layer to fence glitch; thus putting the boss in a separate .lvl file like every other boss before it. (and even after based on what I saw in world 5)

Okay, I've read all your comments and I'll try to :
-make 4-6 much easier,
-remove the doors entrances,
-and (that's something from me) make W6 easier too.
Let's just wait for another update, shall we? :D

Hmmm... I'm not sure what do you mean, could you please specify what is the matter more clearly (i.e. for example - you can't kill them/ they are too hard)?

I must say this episode is absolutely gorgeous. Very nice Map design it shows careful planning. The City World made me laugh very funny and cool content.
I think I know what uh, JrAkcel is saying I met the same fate in Grassy Plateau after collecting the treasure its quite difficult to escape. I like it though makes me want to plan a way out using power ups not too difficult in my opinion.

-Edit- I loved the desert world one of the best I've seen. However the miniboss in Guy Sandship who drops bombs I did find exceedingly annoying. Perhaps makes the tossable bombs more frequent. Also I think you should check the music files for your world map sometimes no music plays.

Thanks! And yeah, I've seen the map music glitches, but I still don't know what causes them. However, when you finish the 1st level in that world, the music will play fine. :D

That's actually a pretty cool episode. Allowing you to choose your world to play was pretty cool.

My episode 'Reign of the Gatekeepers' already had the option for players to choose what order they wish to complete the worlds in. Have you checked it out?
