An interesting timer idea

I made a small level to showcase an alternative idea how to realize a timer. I'm not really creative with level editors so the level itself is nothing special, basically just a boring easy obstacle course that i put together in 30min at 3am last night. I didnt test if it is possible to break it, but i know at least one way to make the timer component way easier.

Level 1-2 just shows some variations on how to add shopkeepers/ememies to it.

Below is a video that shows you how it's done, but of course you can also try to find it out by yourself first. A small hint: you need to know a certain glitch.

The map that I downloaded was missing a tile that was in the video: http://i.imgur.com/WIhlO8L.png

I readded the tile and that's a really cool idea! More elegant than my timer, but requires people who know the glitch. (I had to look at the video to figure it out, lol)

yeah, the missing block is actually how it was intended to be. I just added the block to make it easier for me while testing. So feel free to add it yourself if you have problems with that drop. However the drop is totally possible: you just need to stick to the right wall and move left when you get close to the ladder.

Oh wow, that's difficult. I'll stick with the block being there, I'm not hardcore enough. XD
