Succeeds at building a creepy atmosphere, but the annoying platforming constantly interferes. Unless you memorize the layout, you won't know whether there are invisible blocks ahead until you wait a few seconds, which makes much of the level rather stop-and-go, even trial-and-error at times. The addition of a fishin' boo and layer 2 smash only exacerbates the feeling.
I included a few dead ends so you can see how players might progressively learn the level's mechanics. There's plenty of stuff in there that isn't obvious, though. I found the climbable blocks purely by accident.
Probably the most memorable level so far, but just not very fun to play, in my opinion. It's hard to appreciate the atmosphere when making progress is so trying.
