On stage 3, are the positions of the red blocks randomly generated? I tried it after exiting the game once and they appeared in separate locations. The reason I ask is because sometimes I'd fly into them without any time to attack due to the automatic jumping mechanic."},{"author_name":"drilltail","author_uid":"23253","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 3:36am","epoch":1367465460,"text":"They are indeed randomly generated; all of the level content is generated as you play, based on your actions in the earlier layers.
