I love the ui style with the game world and level set within it, I feel like it's not too common in pico8 despite it being a staple of many retro games.
The concept is unique and, while I've only played a few levels as of writing, I can tell from the gifs that a lot of inventive mechanics and puzzles have been made from this!
The par seems like a pretty tough challenge, I did the first few but not going to continue and ended up beating all of world 1 with stars! It was really tough but gratifying. It's also interesting how they decrease when you beat them, it's like a high score that way too.
Is there a way to go back to previous worlds? I'm glad I starred all the levels in world 1 because I can't go back now..
I'm also noticing all sorts of fun little polish and detail, like the character in the top left matching the frame of the actual character in the stage, and different levels have different background and breakable block patterns. Great stuff!
Munchkin: thank you for the kind words. You can go back to world 1 through the door marked "1" in "Part 1, The Brain". If you cannot find the door or if the door is not working, can you post a screenshot? It might be a bug.
