Thank you for these first comments!
To help you a little...in the ocean, you should be afraid only of
red crabs!
I voluntarily used the block "fire" to create only red crabs, as
that isn't necessary to test too a long time each rooms by losing
lives unnecessarily.
With the same principle, in all the game, all the trampolines are
clearly shown with arrows to the top, therefore there are not
negative surprises.
In the ocean, most difficult is to proportion its jump well.
1)If Jump is too important, willy can touch the top and to fall down
while dying, but he can also leave a room or catch item...
2)if jump is too weak, willy can pass through blocks "earth"... they
are dangerous... at the end of a some time, it's rather easy and
very pleasant to move by proportioning the jump.
Most important...avoid jumping while entering in a room! they is the
best means of dying quickly!
while entering a room, take time to observe, to understand the
movement of the guardians... one needs patience and try to
envisage the possible way.
Thank you
