Oh, really? Yeah, I must've been using his ability only while falling. Then again, I literally played using him for about 2 minutes, so that's probably why.

EDIT: I just played using Alien Hominid again, and now I'm definitely hoping we can keep him. 

It'd be cool if we got to keep him, but I wouldn't necessarily care if we didn't. He's really just a weaker version of Jill.

What update? The last update I got was from the 7th, when the level editor beta came out.

Honestly, the number of saws in the level can probably be reduced a bit. Otherwise it seems alright for a first level. I like the idea of using props to make arrows and signs, I never thought to do that!

1. Layer colors are straight up broken right now, right? I think that's what edmund's post on page 1 meant, but again, not sure

If you go into layer colors, there should be a value below "Alpha" (I forget what it's called now). You have to change it to something above 0 for the desired color to be visible.

What are 2, 3, and 4, supposed to be? I'm gonna guess the Mr. Hankey one is the chapter in which you play as Brownie, but what are the other two?

Just saw Team Meat's twitter. Expect the editor to be up by Thursday!   

Yeah, it should be coming soon. When I asked of the editor was going to be in the next patch on twitter a while ago, they said yes. I think they just released the chapter 6 patch by itself so it could be up ASAP, so hopefully the next patch will come with the editor.

Matth Thorson levels at release.
Release next week.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Actually if I'm not mistaken, the release next week is the "official release". The beta release will come a bit sooner, hopefully.

1. Go to a level.

2. At the character select screen type "ballgoo" and then pick Meat Boy.

3. ???

4. Profit!

I found the Jumper levels a bit hard myself. I haven't played using Ogmo that much though, so it's probably more difficult because of the fact that I usually only play as Meat Boy. I guess some people tend to find parts of the game harder than others because of how they play it.

tl,dr: I don't think any of the levels are too hard, they just seem hard to those who aren't used to a certain character/level of difficulty.

The beta's going to be released to everyone, they just aren't going to announce it officially until it's finished (i.e. Enter the Unknown is available, bugs are worked out, etc.). If I'm wrong, then please tell me.

They said a while ago that at first there would only be character specific levels. I think they plan on adding full cast support later.

i cant wait for the editor xD anyone knows when it comes out?

It'll be out in a couple of days, I think.

Yeah, I've noticed the tile errors too. There were a few stray grass tiles in some of the Sewers of Goo levels, and I doubt that those were unintentional.
