Could *really* use a stage select. I missed treasures, but I don't want to restart...

Just finished, The last phase of the boss is a bit tricky but as long as you don't forget that you can use all of the playing field, you'll be able to dodge everything if you play your cards right! Nice job Askii!

The three secrets are:
Level 6, out the top of the upper left corner;
Level 13, right where you start, after the Thwomp smashes the floor twice;
Level 19, down through the floor beneath the leftmost spikes.
The secret level can then be accessed by dropping into a tunnel in the bottom of Level 22.

I'm genuinely baffled by how underrated this game is despite its original game concept and a great execution in every detail. Rating below 4.0, only 140k plays and no badges...
