A new video, about a topic that's been on my mind for several years: my favorite type of level design, the one that just lets you have a bit of fun for a bit before moving on.

Subtitles have been added and apparently don't need to be adjusted, but I'll check in on Monday. Also don't miss the thumbnail sketches if you're a Mutation or higher.

Anyway, enjoy your weekend, and hopefully enjoy the video too! :)

Edit from 08.07.24: now with adjusted subtitles.
