People are getting stuck in level 2


So, we were getting a lot of feedback from testers that they were getting stuck in level 2.

The problem is, we know it's possible to win the level, in under 5 minutes if you know what you're doing, so the problem is not the level is impossible to win. Clearly we are communicating something wrong.

After a couple gameplay sessions with a few community members (specially a live gameplay with streamer Baphi - https://www.twitch.tv/baphi) we found out we are assuming the player will think of REDACTED, but that asumption was wrong.

In this version we modified a little bit the first objectives of the level attempting two things:

1. Teach the player the intended strategy to solve the level

2. Teach the player they can REDACTED and REDACTED.

What do you think? Do you feel the level more approachable now? Is it handholding too much?
