The level is lying to you.

LEVEL LIAR looks like a tiny, honest platformer: a red square, a purple door, some spikes. It is not honest. The ground you are standing on is about to leave. The door you can see is not the door. The jump button will work until the exact moment it matters.

World 1 - White Lies

Thirty levels that teach you to trust nothing. Fake floors, moving doors, spikes that appear where you were about to land, coins that are traps and traps that are coins.

World 2 - The Devil

Thirty more, tuned for five thousand deaths. Blackouts, gaslighting, inverted and swapped controls, input lag on purpose, and the devil's door that only opens for players who stopped believing anything.
