Daffoxy made that, right? I saw someone (probably drkrdnk) playing Husky 1 and it looked pretty fun/relatively easy.

What I ended up doing, though, was following through on my idle threat and starting a fresh play of Invictus. With just over a year in between my first playthrough and today, I can safely say two things: turns out the game actually is pretty tough, but I'm also a much better player (which is a relief). I think I put about three hours in tonight, and I got through the first six levels (five exits + red switch palace). In contrast, my first playthrough took nearly 2.5 hours to get out of Piranha Pipeway. If I can keep up that kind of pace, I'll be pretty happy!
A few random notes/thoughts:
-The first half of Piranha Pipeway still feels very, very tough. Juz comes at you hard right out of the gate with some super tight tricks. It's definitely a "you must be this tall to ride" section, and I didn't find it very fun this time either. The second half was way easier (and more fun).
-I don't think I ever realized how short the second half of Scorched Earth is. Only took a handful of tries to get out of there.
-I wanted to see if I could pull off the Arisendead key jump strat in the first room of One By One, and I actually could! I got it a handful of times (twice in a row, at one point) and it seems like something I could learn to do consistently without too much trouble. It looks super smooth and feels great to pull off, but as a casual player I don't really need to learn a speed strat like that.
-The second half of One By One is also way easier than the first, jeez.
-The red switch palace is a lot shorter than I remembered. In particular, I thought the part with the red blocks rapidly turning on/off was going to be much longer, but it was basically three jumps.
-Sewer Smashing only took something like 15 minutes, the autoscroller took about 10 of those. Get fucked, autoscroller. That jump towards the end when you have to bounce off the falling saw before getting back into the water still sucks.
-It feels pretty awesome to blow through a level that took me three hours to clear the first time..
