map notes
My very first edited map, keep that in mind if you find huge bugs/exploitable issues.
The map is designed for dustkid, with her unique jumping mechanic in mind. In order to traverse this level, you'll need to utilize the additional air jump/dash to its fullest, so I'd recommend being a bit experienced with the kid. I'm sorry for making it like this, but if I had kept the rest of the cleaners in mind, I simply would not have been able to shape most of this level the way I wanted.
This is meant to be a somewhat hard playground for dustkid, not impossible, not too easy. There are very few own ideas in it, most of it are re-used elements of tracks from the main game that happened to be fun for me. Double-S-ing it is supposed to be a challenge even for the better players out there, while S-ing it should be possible for anyone if a certain amount of determination is applied (there are quite a lot of checkpoints). It is fairly long (I think), but if you managed to beat a few of the x-difficults, this shouldn't be too hard.
You may like this level if you liked Backup shift/Night temple. However, I advise against playing this if you never touched dustkid before, it's certainly not a great map and nothing justifies learning dustkid just for my random chunk of brain mush.
(The part between the second-to-last and last checkpoint kinda justifies a medium-to-hard tag, I hope)
To elaborate the long section at the end:
I wanted to create a situation where the player needs to do a series of difficult (and unique) jumps without having the luxury of a checkpoint right in front of it. This way the tension at the difficult bit is a lot higher and the feeling of accomplishment is waaay bigger once you get it done. What I wanted to invoke is the feeling you get on Giga Difficult, when you have a perfect run and have to face the very last bit.
