    Huge thanks to many of the speedrunners in this video for helping me fact check things + making this video possible! (Their channels are in the description) EDIT: apparently there is a weird long *beep* noise at 3:23. I can't remove it now since the video is uploaded, but I literally had to rewatch that section 20 times to hear it. Either I'm losing my hearing or my headphones are broken lol

    There’s a glitch where if you enter then leave then renter the bit with the orange balls on tower 4 then one of the balls glitch out which could maybe save some time

    I died a little inside when you described the levels as "pretty easy for most players" (maybe it's just because I have practically zero platforming experience aside from Celeste, but I just cannot get used to the physics)

    honestly, I would say level 1-3 are the main easy ones, but the last level is pretty hard because of the bossfight in my opinion.

    I think you used the word "yet" in a wrong way early in the video, and in a weird way a little before half way into the video. Nice video apart from that. And yes, as you say at the end, the most important thing is that you enjoyed making it. :)

    I've done the first "skip" mentioned in this video when the level came out once. Never knew it was actually this hard because I'm ass
