Level Design

Level 1

You can’t lose in the first 2 levels.
The grappling hook will only reset itself, if you hit an obstacle. Perfect to get a feel for the controls. The first level is fairly easy to get a smooth start and a general feel for the gameplay.

Level 2

The 2. level gets much more complex in terms of obstacles. You need to time and coordinate your movements correctly.

Level 3

The 3. Level introduces you to guards. If you go straight forward, the guard will see you and activate the alarm, which equals in a game over. You need to evade.
You can’t evade the 2. guard, because he is standing next to a wall. The only option to beat the level is by picking him up.
The player gets to know all possible interactions with the guards.

Level 4

In the final Level you have both: complex movement and guards.

This level also allows multiple solutions: Either evade all guards, pick up the last one and do it again. Or pick up all 3 guards on the side to open a new path. Or finally block the 3 guard’s path to the alarm, which is the fastest solution!
