You need to do the impossible pogo trick to get these. I think I included a demo of me playing through the whole level in hard mode for version 1.1. This way, you'll see where you need to go. If the IPT is too hard for you to do, just reconfigure the controls and assign the same key to jump and pogo.

title0 = The Land of the Bloogs
message0 = Keen enters the Land of the Bloogs in search for his sister
Although in the level properties it's different. I can change that in the file, but I suppose this also can be changed in the editor level's properties?
I'm wondering, is there a limit of the amount of sprites that can be used in a level? As I'm progressing and my level becomes bigger and bigger, I don't want to be surprised with a sudden limit. Not that the level is that big, but still.
Okay, let me explain this. The title and message in the [levels] section of game.ini define the default titles and messages for the levels for the built-in default language (English). The game.ini file is only read by the program. No part of KEENGINE will ever re- or overwrite the game.ini.
So if you want to give the level another title, you need to modify the game.ini yourself. You can enter a new title (and message) in there, or you can remove the title and message. The later forces the game to use the title that is saved in the level file and display the default message when entering the level. So deleting the title and message information will basically force the new version to act like the older version did.
There is no physical limit for objects/actors in the game. But I don't recommend you to put more than 250 Actors in a level, as the collision detection will really slow the game down to a point where it's unplayable.
To check how many Actors you are using, enable the debug keys (just like in Keen 4) and then press C.
To avoid having too many actors, try to use bonus items as Tiles, not as objects, whenever you can. Make use of the foreground layer when you want to "hide" the bonus items behind something. This will slightly increase the file size of them map, but the game will run faster. But when you do this, remember that only the tiles placed in the level map layer will interact with the player. The background and foreground layers will only be drawn and don't do anything.

You crack me up little buddy!
Anyway, now off I go. I'll have to use the tileset editor for some of the keen 6 world map tiles for my testing map etc.
