Hi, haven't been here in a long time! I just downloaded the MM 2 demo, and from the first half-hour of what I've played, I've really enjoyed it! The new art style, original soundtrack and creative gameplay elements have really made this feel like a sequel.

My first problem is that in Mt. Peril (Easy), you can get stuck in room 16500. I came down the moving platform moving into this room, then I activated the switch to the left and quickly left the platform while it moved up. I couldn't go anywhere else from here. If I died in this room, I would restart in it… so, I'm stuck. See the attached screenshot to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

Next, I got a minor bug which I think had to do with minimising the game window into the Dock. From what I remember, the game window was covered in black and moving the cursor inside that area would reveal a square area relative to where the cursor is. I don't know how to reproduce this unfortunately.

Lastly, I don't know if this bug has existed since MM 1. you're able to constantly use a lever switch in midair if you access it from a platform where you can reach the switch. You can jump from the position of the switch or repeatedly use the switch while in mid-air. Maybe in some rare situations this could allow for mansion exploits? I recorded an MM movie file, though it didn't save in the User Movies folder. (a demo limitation?)

I encountered this Jack Stuck as well.  Thankfully there was a save point not too far before it happened, but it's still a Jack Stuck.  Not sure what the solution would be, except maybe increase the speed of the platform so it is harder to jump off?

Or program this type of platforms to also reappear in the room Jack is in.

I didn't realize that worked...  good to know.  I agree that I think it would be good (and not game breaking) if platforms like this would reappear after a short time once they've completely left the room.

*bump*

Found another JS in Leofani Manor Normal, room 16501. You can get the bat platform to somehow skip the trapdoor at the bottom, and shoot all the way to the top of the room! If you jump off the platform when it is about to enter the next room, you'll unexpectedly just pass the trapdoor. See the attachment.

If you jump to the left, you will get permanently stuck (since you'll restart on what is considered 'safe ground' such as on top of that generator seen in the screenshot)

Also, I sometimes have problems with jumping constantly on fast downwards platforms as well - sometimes I'll die from being considered falling too far when the platform moving downward should catch my downwards momentum.
