Hiding the thing necessary to complete the second level of your game is not a puzzle. It is just annoying. This idea definitely has potential with these mechanics, but please try to think of how the player moves through your levels. There is no reason that you should expect the player to inspect the back side of the obstacle they just passed. Thats just some poor design.
