Btw you can beat puzzle level with stealing colors in right order and then time your last jump precisely or use shift for sprint jump and then it's a lot easier(and colors order doesnt matter i think).  \n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1186868,"author_name":"JojoPalambas","author_uid":"jojopalambas","epoch":1760989298,"text":"Alright this game is absolutely amasing; had way more fun than I expected.
