The Falling Mysts [VIDEO INCLUDED]

Pretty nice job! Here's my super long KiriE review for you to get bored of 8)

Cube/Dual (0:00 - 0:18): Really nice star effects! I can't even imagine how cool this would look if they moved, though. Maybe even pulses in the background, or anything to add to the effect and make it look even more cosmic. The gameplay isn't the best, but it's something. Adding more blocks sticking out of the black on the outside to jump onto could improve the gameplay even more. I know that effect levels aren't always about gameplay, but it always will help to get the best out of it to give players a better experience on your level.

UFO (0:18 - 0:29): Much better! The stars in the background look great with the design, the gameplay always changes with it's blocks (but doesn't look wacky together), and even the coin is placed in a way that isn't frustrating, but not bone-headed easy. The sync is also surprisingly good, considering it's a UFO section. The ONLY critique I have for this section is a little more could be added to the ground in some spots, I noticed some places are missing spikes (or it was just your descision) and I think it could've used detail of some sort. But overall, very nicely done!

Cube (0:29 - 0:35): Not much to say, gameplay obviously isn't the best, but I guess it's okay because you put text there showing "Auto" and "Not Auto". The transition from the slow to fast cube section is very sudden, try not to blend the block decor in like that, because it looks bizarre how the blocks turn from black to instantly the new space-style.

Ball (0:35 - 0:50): Absolutely stunning effects. Really great job on them! I love how you made the blocks shine when you land on them, that was just one of the really cool effects in the part. This time, the stars actually move. I wish you could've done this for the rest of the level, but I guess this just makes this section that much better.

Wave/Dual (0:50 - 0:57): Gameplay is decent, effects are the same. Not anything special about this part, but still a nice job.

Cube/Ship (0:57 - 1:26): Pretty good effects. I honestly prefer the colors at the cube sections, something about them just works really well together. The flashing stars also look really cool, I'm glad you added that into the level. However, I can see the tops of the last ship section when you transition into the cube section, so just take note of that.

Wave (1:26 - 1:32): The block design is much different here. Was it the best choice? I don't really think so, but it changes the style and doesn't make the level too repetitive, so I like that decision. Gameplay isn't the best, but it's definitely something. The transition into the next cube feels very sudden, though, just make sure that in the future don't change designs so quickly that it looks wacky altogether.

Cube (1:32 - 1:37): Looks a little more empty in this part than the beginning did. Maybe it was just your object limit, but it looks a little rushed imo. That being said, the sync is pretty nice.

Gameplay: 7.5/10
Not amazing, but considering this level is entirely based on the effects/design I think you did a decent job.

Design: 9.5/10
Really stunning effects for the most part, the end is a bit rushed but still I was deeply impressed with it's realism.

Originality: 9/10
Cosmic levels have been done before. I have never seen one with such well executed effects. Really nicely done!

Music sync: 8.5/10
Some parts near the beginning could use improvement but mostly the sync is well done.

Overall: 34.5/10 or 8.6/10 - Feature-worthy

Gameplay: The gameplay is very good compared to most effect levels. All the obstacles can be clearly seen and the player is given sufficient time to avoid them, with no sudden or unexpected transitions or moving obstacles. There was also a decent variety in terms of obstacles and forms used. Great work there. One thing that could have been improved on, however, is that the gameplay still could've been a bit more interesting. In the first cube and dual cube, I suggest you add platforms and blocks to make the gameplay more interesting than mostly just jumping over spikes. In the second to the last cube part, try adding some slopes and spikes to make the gameplay more fun rather than just jumping over pillars. Also, don't be afraid to use teleportation portals and moving obstacles. Yes, they can be used to make the level memo-based, but they can also be used to add variety to the level!

Decorations: The design itself was nice and really made you feel like you were in space, but it was a bit too repetitive. The star decorations and effects are mostly just the same throughout the entire level. Try to think of more things to add to the cosmic theme, such as spaceships, planets, etc. Also, while the transparent block design was great for the first few parts, it should be changed to something else by the last ship part. The "smoke" (I don't really know what to call it) effect that was used in the background throughout the entire level was amazing and well-done, though.

Music Sync: The cube and ball parts were well-synced, as were most of the transitions. Good job.

Overall: The gameplay and music sync were good, but could still be better. The design was nice and well-executed, but got a bit repetitive after a while and needs more decorations added to it. Good

gameplay: very nice, I love it. It looks easy, but nice

Design: nice design, but it stays the same throughout the whole level. How about next time it changes design throughout the level. But overall imo its beautiful

Creativity: moderately creative. But it consists of mostly fog effect and sparkles. But the two combined fits very well. Quick tip, use more style strategies next time

Sync: very nice, but can be a tiny bit off at times

Overall score: 8/10 feature worthy

Not everyone makes a feature worthy first level, good job!
