1 - huh, i’ve never encountered that bug before. 2 - i cant control the impact blocks, i just write code for them to be destroyed if the bottom collider sprite hits them. ---

Good job! I hide slices of cheese in places that are either not meant to be reached normally, or too hidden for me to put a page in. Places that require the player to _cheese_ the level to get somewhere they shouldn’t be. ---

here’s a fun fact! i actually learned some of my pixel art from studying how super mario world’s artstyle works, and added a darker outline and a pitch black outline as well. then i add a bit of candy shading, and i’ve got my artstyle! ---

here’s a little level i threw together showcasing the new switch tiles that are gonna be in the next update! > **[switch block/orb showcase](https://arcade.makecode.com/28025-25308-89743-32018)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. here’s some of the blocks. # **SECTION 1 - SWITCH BLOCKS** ## switch blocks are blocks with arrows on them. they can be red or blue. ground pound them or hit them from below, and red blocks will turn blue, or the other way around. # **SECTION 1A - SWITCH ORBS** ## switch orbs work the same way as switch blocks, but they need to be interacted with like pulse orbs as opposed to hitting them from below or above. # **SECTION 2 - COLORED BLOCKS** ## colored blocks are red and blue blocks with cute faces on them. when the switch blocks are blue, only the blue colored blocks will be solid, and the red ones will turn into a transparent outline that cannot be stood on or interacted with in any way. # **SECTION 2A - COLORED PLATFORMS** ## colored platforms are also red and blue, they also have cute faces, and work the same way as colored blocks, except they can be passed through from underneath like a semisolid platform. enjoy!
