KLDC 2021 Entry - Bootleg White Palace

my entry for smwcentral's 2021 kaizo level design contest. deaths are intentional to show locations of checkpoints.
ever since i played hollow knight (the white palace in particular) more than 3 years ago, i wanted to make an smw level like it, but there weren't really the resources publicly available to do so at the time. i'm really happy i finally got to make this.
rank: 19th out of 69
play: bin.smwcentral.net/u/14447/si...
music: hollow knight - white palace

If I had to guess the author, I wouldn't have guessed it's you. Glad to finally know who made it, though.

this kinda reminded me more of meat boy than hollow knight with all the saws and walljumping but really cool level and very nice vibe

[@Sokobansolver]

I made a level in SMM2 with a similar concept but without all the abundance of checkpoints
