Maybe kragg couldnt open the door due to rubble blocking it
...Or read the book on the shelf to go back in time because Kragg seems like he can't read

I guess it's canon now that kragg is not strong enough to break a lock

this looks cool.

I like the layout and the tiles you choosed for the stage, as well as the fact that you added and Aether variant for the Stage. And I specially adored the detail where it plays the Cave Story's death sound when you lose a stock, that was pretty sweet.

My only suggestions is that I feel like you should add black outlines around the playable area like the rest of the official maps, as of right now is kinda hard to tell where you can stand on or not when in motion. And I would also like if the falling blocks damaged you in the Aether variant.
