this is really cool! deserves way more attention. i love seeing episodes that focus on more industrial themes considering how rarely it pops up in both official games and even fangames to some extent. the levels themselves are also fun. i did think Nuclear Retribution was too dark for its own good and i found the swinging claws in Firey Furnace a bit clunky but aside from that i liked the challenge overall. the star coin placements were good as well, i appreciated how all of them were hidden in plain sight, making the challenge reaching them at all rather than trying to look for obscure fake walls or something similar. you can cheese a few by dying when going for them, but i'd rather have that than having to collect every star coin again after i die. other than that i do find the final boss pretty repetitive and monotonous, but it doesn't hurt my thoughts on the episode overall. good time
i will point out that i did recognize the level intro script from SPIKEVENTURE, which i never publicly released aside from within the episode itself. while i don't mind it being used here, it is worth mentioning that it's bad form to take assets that are exclusively made for specific episodes. if an asset from an episode doesn't have an equivalent public release on the forums, usually the creator doesn't want it being used in other people's episodes. if there is an asset you really want to use that you can only find in one episode, ask the creator's permission first. again, i'm personally fine with this instance and i don't need you to remove it or anything, i'm just giving you a heads up for next time.
