The game is Toejam & Earl. Falling off the end of a level sends you to the previous level, unless you fall through a hole in that map, then you fall to the next level, and so on.
There's also a secret place where you can fall off in level one to go to the secret zero level.
Colossal scumbags. Unfortunately, there are a lot of secret authoritarians and conformists in our midst anywhere, it's unavoidable in any group that values a visually similar aesthetic as a way of signaling belonging, this absolutely goes for non-conformist and punk circles too whether we like it or not. Stay safe out there
