I've just played your SCREAM PARK section, ryos.
Looks already really great (!!) .....but we / you have forgotten something extremely important:
1. At the very beginning of SCREAM PARK there must be that room (I mentioned) where Jack is supplied enough money bags to give him 99 lives. Otherwise the game is over right after your first few rooms !
Which brings us to No. 2:
2. We have to somehow include the possibility to survive each section, otherwise Jack simply has no means to proceed to the next section (and - ultimately - to the end / exit). And this is the hard part, I know. It must be hidden so Jack will first lose a couple of lives but eventually can proceed.
Remember: we said the goal of the game could be to arrive at the exit room with your very last life !
So maybe you could modify your section a bit by
a) adding one or two
b) adding the possibility to survive the fall....maybe by jumping in a very specific way ?
Also I have the feeling it would be better for the
So maybe it would be helpful to include one or two BBBs at the start, giving a bit of a story backdrop and also getting the concept across.
What do you think ?
EDIT / ADDITION:
Maybe you have already done all that, and I was only too stooopid to survive the fall....(??!). But I have tried to fall / jump in all possible ways, in the hope of finding a way to survive.....but to no avail !! If there's a way to survive that fall, you've hidden it very well !!

introroom(s) (Maybe something like
Jack-on-his-way-to-the-scream-park) where -along the way- he gets enough money for 99 lives and also
b) adding the possibility to survive the fall....maybe by jumping in a very specific way ?
Also I have the feeling it would be better for the
storyto have one or two intro rooms and not start with Jack hanging in mid-air (and immediately falling down). How did he get there ? We should not forget that not ALL potential later players of Scream Park have been following this discussion. They will wonder what the hell is going on !
