>Crash 1

So I made some progress last night, I finished Native Fortress and got to the second island. I really enjoyed the pure platforming challenge in that level but I think most of the difficulty was from the fact you couldn't see what the "puzzle" until it was too late because it's mostly off screen.

For example the "puzzle" was torch hopping, but you wouldn't know there were actually 3 torches instead of 2, so you would get scorched for wasting time hopping on all 3 torches (you're supposed to skip the second.) It's impossible to know this without trial and error.

Trial and error I can deal with, but once I ran out of lives, I was set back 3 motherfucking levels and that I can't deal with. I had to redo Rolling Stones and Hog Wild just to get back to Native Fortress.
