I would say that the level 30 is hard as the plain arcade, special relativity is not that relevant. If only the game allowed you to save midlevel, many more people would pass level 30.

Level 31 is easier because one of the arcade-hard tricks is removed.

ETA: Looks like level 34 is impassable without true arcade skills... It is the first level where you have both periodical obstacle and time limit

You need time dilation to get across the water trap doors, so it's relevant in that sense.

Mind you, I wouldn't have made it to level 30 without the space bar and the dead stop whenever you hit an obstacle. Dump all your momentum from relativistic speeds for free!

Well, actually it doesn't truly matter, as you just need to have enough speed anyway. The fact that two parts of the trap always look simultaneous is funny, of course.

Yeah. This level is killing me.

ETA: Level 38 is... far far worse. No timing, except in the precision of movements in the final stretch.
