Always make sure you (or somebody can play though your level), especially if you're ramping up the difficulty of your game--I learned the same lesson this dare."},{"author_name":"sudorossy","author_uid":"7905","time":"Dec 25, 2011 @ 9:42am","epoch":1324805820,"text":"Thanks for the advice :) I had a much larger (cooler, easier) level I designed, but the respawn system has a bug, so I had to whip this one up on short notice.
