New Favorite WHG Design (30 - Very Hard)

Demo: https://fairmaidengames.com/whg/1 (Press ctrl+V to toggle difficulty and comma/period to go prev/next lvl) Here I show off the new level 30 in very hard mode. I think it's my new favorite design. The right side shares the same core gameplay as the original, but the main difference is the enemy groups collapse/expand. Enemy groups are also different shapes, as opposed to all being an "X". This allows for certain dodges to work better. There's also a semi-safe gutter on the left side, which is available whenever the blue isn't expanded. That helps a lot and reinforces that you have to pay attention to the collapsing/expanding. Since each ring/type takes turns collapsing/expanding, it's pretty easy to anticipate (if green is expanded, blue is about to expand next, etc). The minor left obstacle combined with the one-way doors prevents you from saving progress too easily and makes the ending cooler. Since the left minor obstacle is the last thing you'll play (after collecting all the coins), and it's designed to be suspenseful, since the main strat is to inch forward toward the checkpoint near the end when you get close to it. Anyway, overall it turned out well enough that it's my new favorite, so I'm glad I got a solid design in to finish off very hard mode.
