Gameplay
General structure
The rooms in the level are 9 blocks wide and 5 blocks high. From rooms 1 to 1650 and 1820 to 2024, the layout follows a repeating pattern: the player progresses 9 rooms to the right, moves up to the room above, then travels 9 rooms to the left, ascends again, and continues this sequence. Sets of rooms, usually consisting of 100 rooms, are grouped by a specific theme, such as platformer gamemodes, seasons, or other concepts. Each set has its own music, causing the background soundtrack to change whenever the player enters a new set of rooms. These sets usually gradually increase in difficulty, starting with very easy rooms and progressing to more challenging ones toward the end before the player advances to the next of rooms. Every room, except for room 1, rooms 1652–1815, and room 2024, has its own name displayed in the top-left corner, which may describe its contents, reference another level, or convey a message to the player. Additionally, every room except rooms 1651–1815 has its room number shown in the top-right corner. The color of the rooms typically changes after every 10 rooms.
Rooms 1-100
The level begins with the text "Welcome to -How to platformer-" displayed at the top of room 1, along with the message "If you suck at platformer, I hope you can get better by the end of this:D" shown in the bottom-left corner. Immediately after, in room 2, the message "This level is EXTREMELY long, gl!" is displayed. These rooms feature cube gameplay with various platformer elements: semisolids, marked with an arrow, are first introduced between rooms 10 and 11; slopes appear for the first time in room 14; spikes are introduced in room 27; dash orbs first appear in room 62; and size portals are first introduced in room 83. This set of rooms concludes with the 'CUBE TEST', spanning rooms 96 to 99, which contains the most difficult rooms of the level up to that point. Room 100 is named 'The end?', suggesting to the player that the level may or may not end there. The background music in these rooms is "Amazing Plan" by Kevin MacLeod.[1]
