The sequel the Mountain Cat Samurai, everybody's favorite level. However, it's very different from it predecessor. Not only is it 15x longer, but it's a full-on Getting Over It remake with the hammer controls. Controls like that are very ambitious to remake in GD, and it's surprising they work as well as they do. However, they aren't perfect, and the level is still pretty buggy (like randomly dying/getting softlocked from a slope). Technically very impressive, but the collision is too jank for now.

The gameplay itself also suffers from some issues. There are obvious chokepoint screens that are easy to fail constantly (notably the screens in the 7-8 minute mark). Most of my playtime was spent on these screens, and it got old fast. However, there were still some cool parts towards the end, like the wind screens and the final race at the end. The race itself isn't too hard once you learn a route, but it's very easy to make a mistake and lose your run, which adds a lot of needed tension. However, during my run, the race bugged (cat samurai was supposed to spawn at the very top), which made the entire race completely free since there's set movements that just trapped him at the too.

There's some tech that I used that may not be obvious while watching, so I'll explain some of it. The vertical grab is when you press left and right at the same time. Normally you only can swing left and right, but if you press both inputs at the same time, the hammer will swing upwards, which allows for some additional strats and skips. The extended grab is when you press an arrow key and A+D at the same time. This is a crucial technique that makes the level significantly easier.

All skips are canon since the tech is canon. Source: me
