The 4th level (I think it was the 4th, the first one without walls) is so damn hard, died so often and never even saw the goal.

This made some of the puzzles a bit more difficult than they could've been. Having said that, the actual movement of the worm through the ground and gaining speed feels fantastic. Flying from the ground through the air is also great. Very simple yet satisfying movement.
