Hi Guys! I use this game to test out its level editor. At the bottom, it says, "Download EXE". If you'd like, download the game. You can also use the picture on top. Click it to start. WIthin the game, there is a level editor. I use it to test out odd ideas, and I see it like Sploder. Instruction to go to the Level Editor: 1. Make a new save with the Play button. 2. Finish the tutorial and then get to the castle. 3. Walk into the castle and go to the star-door at the top right. 4. Talk to the toad. 5. Jump into the blank portal frame. You will also get a code that marks your game if you select the right tool. This allows games to be shared. :D Enjoy the level Editor! Reminds me of Sploder. What do you think?
