I enjoyed a lot SAB when it was released the first time, and after a few runs I can say I also enjoy World 2, despite the increase in difficulty.

I beated tribulation mode before any guide was posted on the internet, but I felt like buying the Infinite Continue Coin was mandatory. The mode was already time-consuming enough to bother with limited lives.

Now, with this last patch “lowering” the overall difficulty of World 2 Zone 1 and Zone 2… well, in fact, I am quite disappointed. The rafts in Zone 1 had a decent difficulty. That part WAS difficult, you had to have a good timing… now it is plain easy. Like a walk in the park. I disapprove it.

But there is more… apparently that patch screwed things up for Tribulation Mode, to the point that one checkpoint in World 2 Zone 2 becomes a deathtrap half of the time (you spawn dead):

Or cloud checkpoints not working (dying past this cloud checkpoint leads to spawning in the previous checkpoint, the one in the image above):

Also, this tribulation cloud prevents you from leaving the shop, inflicting knockback and shoving you inside the shop again… which makes imposible to leave the shop once you’ve entered it:

Finally, I can tell there is a misplaced “blocking cloud” near the end of the World 2 Zone 3, making nearly imposible a jump that was trivial before this patch. Now you have to dodge-jump to be able to get past that point. I do not think devs where thinking about dodge-jumping when creating SAB.
