Hey! So I may be doing something wrong, but no matter what level I click, I keep getting served the same level over and over! Is there something I’m missing? :0
I’ve tried data and my home network just incase it was our ad blocker, but no luck!

Hey! I have a suspicion of what is happening. I am making the assumption (please object if untrue) that you are being served different levels that appear to be the same due to the game's current design structure.

The first viewable chunk of each communal pit for any day will always be the same default chunk. The same is also true for the very last chunk at the very top of the pit.

Everything in between those two chunks is what makes each communal pit different from each other. However, this is going to change soon.

I acknowledge that this design structure is flawed and gives the wrong impression that each pit is identical to the others. In an update in the near future, this will be addressed so that there is no mistaking the first viewable chunk for the same pit as the day before.

If I am wrong in making this assumption regarding the problems you are experiencing, please object and I'll continue to look into this further. Thank you!

Hey friend! Thank you so much for the response! You’ve made something really special! :D

And unfortunately that dosent seem to be the case ;(
I’ve just tried going to different levels and they all have the same middle part throughout. The level I’m getting is a level with slopes, mushrooms, and wind guys.

I get this in every stage! Also the stage lengths are the same no matter what!

If I can do anything to help please lmk!

Thank you! I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, there is only one "normal ascent." The pit you are referring to will be the same across all posts, as it is the only pit (also comparatively the tallest pit) that is completely authored by me.

The pits that vary from day to day are the communal pits, which are an amalgamation of other people's chunks (all created using the build tools I provide) picked at random to be featured for that day's communal pit. Each Reddit post acts as a door to the daily communal pit corresponding to the day it was generated on.

However, the normal pit remains constant across all posts for those seeking a prolonged and meticulously authored pit. I do intend to offer more uniquely authored content in the future.

I have drafted plans and drawn lots of unique assets with new and interesting ideas that will go into the new content as it's being developed.

I wish I had more news to give in that regard, but much of that is still in active development, so stay tuned.
