Playing through 140 - Level 1
By Brëdcrumbs
So you need to get good at 140. You've seen speedruns and want to be like those people. Well, you've come to the right place! This is a guide to the first level. There will be more guides later on, so keep your eyes peeled!

Starting The Game
You've just bought 140 for $4.99 in US currency (In my case, I got it in a discount for $1.69 US currency). Now you've opened the game. The menu should look like this:









YOU CAN HEAD RIGHT INTO THE GAME AT THIS POINT! You don't need to wait for a "Start" button to pop up. All you need to do is hit the spacebar, and you'll be sent into the game with a kinda cool loading sequence.

Once you're in, you're greeted with this level selector:









The only level that you can select at first is Level 1. Go ahead and pick up the orb by jumping into it. After that, head right and you should see a half-circle with another circle inside of it. The half-circle should be white. Touching the center of the circle will change the color around you in a cool way, like shown here:








Once you've done that, you've entered Level 1! Now you can head to the next section of the guide.
Level 1.1
This is the beginning of the level. You're greeted by this starter platforming sequence:









Now you can just head to the right. There's a few platforms with strange lines near them, but we'll get to those in a bit. For now, just head to the right.

You should come across the first half-circle in the level. There's an orb nearby too. These images show where they both are:









Now that you've placed the orb in the half-circle, you can continue on to Level 1.2!


Level 1.2
The screen color has changed! Don't worry, this is supposed to happen when transitioning from level section to level section, and even level to level.

Anyways, now those platforms with the weird lines near them are moving along those lines. Here's two images depicting what they do:









As you can see, they've shifted from their original positions.

Once you've made it up past the third moving platform, you can see another half-circle and another orb. This time, the orb is appearing and dissapearing. As much as I wanted to capture that for you, all I got was the section itself:









Once you've got the orb, make sure not to fall into the static, ignore my screenshot notification, and move on to Level 1.3!

Level 1.3
This level uses disappearing and reappearing blocks in the platforming. As you can see in the first two images, the block that you could step on earlier disappears at times!










The next part of the level uses these blocks in a staircase-like manner, disappearing and reappearing to the beat of the music:









The next part of the level looks confusing at first, but is actually quite easy. The blocks force you to climb them like two-step ladders, then jumping to the next section:









Once you've finished that, head to the right some more. There's a pair of moving platforms. Head down, and there should be a reappearing and disappearing block. There's and orb there, but no half-circle. That comes up later. Here's the orb:









Now head back up using the moving platforms, and go to the right to find the half-circle. Also, as you've noticed in some of the images, there are these columns of light that aren't blockers. These are checkpoints in case you die. Anyways, go ahead and finish Level 1.3.

Welp.
This the current end of the guide, because I was getting kinda bored, but DON'T WORRY! There will be the rest of the level added into this guide! Screenshots and everything!

So if you come back to this in a few days, don't freak out because there's more stuff there. It's just me finishing the guide when I can (and want to).

The finished guide will have added Level 1.4 and 1.5, the Level 1 Bossfight, and sourcing, the YouTube video that I got the stuff from, and a LOT more screenshots!

Thanks for being patient,
~Cubey~
