Hey, Purplegaze!  It's time to review your level, I even uploaded it on YT because I think the gameplay is awesome! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHqe-zOY_UkGeneral things to be said: A very nice level in terms of gameplay, but is very repetitive, has loads of copy+paste and has some pretty boring block design. I won't judge this part by part, simply because the only thing that changes through your level is the gameplay :/
Design: It clearly needs work. The design you've used in your level is basically the same and is very repetitive. The block design is very boring, try varying with more colors and patterns. The color combinations are very nice and I like the custom-BG! But the custom-BG is the same throughout the entirety of the level, so please vary that as well... It would also be nice if you added more deco, how would the level look without the custom-BG? More foregrounds could definitely also be used. Also varying different block forms would be very nice. Just take a look at this part: 0:36 - 0:44, you use EXACTLY the same block forms/blocks, it's just copied and pasted ALL over. PLEASE try to reduce that and add much more variety. Try looking at this video for example  : www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ78i9LpvoQ Other than that the design isn't messy, nor cluttered, but the repetitiveness is a huge problem. Also, many of the portals are very big and looks kinda ugly, either lower the opacity or make the portals smaller. Gameplay: Very nice gameplay! It changes gamemode constantly and the level is very fun to play. It's also very user-friendly to play, you've added a lot of help lines to prevent some bugs. If you haven't added these, I probably would've died 3 times in my gameplay at the YT video  I am a bit insecure if this maybe is a little too MUCH help. Maybe try making the gameplay more real next time? It's nice that you try to help the user, but it just feels rather fake. This is a very minor problem though and the gameplay generally is very good. I like the key idea
Music Sync: Very, very nice! The gameplay syncs, you have BG-flashes which syncs, very nicely done! However, I don't feel like the song fits that much to the level and the design feels kinda off as well.
Originality: Well, this level's idea is pretty original, I like the key counting concept. However, in terms of design this level isn't original the slightest. All kinds of deco has been used before, and the block designs are boring and uncreative. Flow: The level feels pretty well executed despite the repetitiveness, and there are no cheap transitions and it flows well.Total Rating: 19.5/60 or 6.9/10 - DECENT+Rate Suggestion:  - No Feature + Stars |

Your design was cool, but really repetitive and especially because you didnt have any kind of foreground decoration it was really not that great, which is too bad because the design looks cool. Gameplay indeed like kiriE said is a bit too helpfull at some parts (especially for some of the slope-keys). Also the music sync, You indeed synced the music well but I think the song you used doesn't really give an easy level ambience :3 So, nice level, but really next time please do some more variation :/ High end decent for me too so moving to decent (hope it works this time ) |
