Editing The Abyss (section)

===Layer 4 – Thermal Vents===
This layer features only one checkpoint.

Layer 4 requires collecting two hearts to open a gate at the bottom of the room. At the start of the checkpoint, two paths are available, one to the left and one to the right, each leading to one heart.

The right path introduces objects that lower the gravity. This path requires weaving through corridors made of sawblades in low gravity before reaching a series of orange rock platforms rising from a lava-filled floor. The first heart is located on the last platform to the right. After collecting it and moving back to the left, the path loops upwards towards the starting area of the checkpoint.

The left path consists of standard cube gameplay without additional gimmicks. It begins with a dash orb and continues with a sequence of jumps across platforms while avoiding sawblades. After falling down a vertical corridor made out of sawblades, the second heart can be collected.

Both hearts must be collected in a single attempt, in whichever order the player prefers.

Once both hearts have been collected, the gate at the bottom of the room opens, leading to a narrow vertical drop. During this descent, the screen tint returns to blue, and the lens circle shrinks.
