Summary0007543: Higher platforming difficulties
DescriptionIn Terraria if you fell from a height equivalent to about half of an underground cave system chunk you would take enough damage to die from the fall. When it comes to fall damage I feel AVWW is too forgiving.

AVWW has so many spells to break the fall, including double and triple jump, and even if all else fails you can always place a platform to break your fall. There should be no excuse for taking fall damage.

What I'd like to see:

 - No background platforms at highest platforming difficulty. (Slider for % of background platforms: 0 to 100% would work too)
 - Greatly increased fall damage on highest platforming difficulty. The highest fall damage I've had was around 80, so multiplying that by 3 to 5x would make it more or less deadly if you're not careful.

More options is good. I don't think the highest difficulty is difficult enough either. The only thing I have trouble with on Am The Guy is the lava escapes, because those are really more of a guessing game: "Did I storm dash the correct direction at the start?"

The existing difficulties for platforming might even be too granular. Make the top one much harder, the next one a little bit harder and keep the one below that where it is now. Job done.

I forgot to mention lava escape missions. I usually fail them within seconds. I've yet to complete one because I refuse to temporarily lower the difficulty just for that mission.
