Gravity World

Cuz it is supposed to be judged

Don't tag judges, it makes you look impatient and childish. Just wait for your level to be reviewed, because I assure you, every level gets reviewed, even if it takes a few days. Like it says in the section rules, tagging judges won't make your level be judged any faster.

I can't believe that we haven't judged this easy level until now, 3 months later ;3; I deeply apologize... Alright, here is your LONG-awaited review!

GRAVITY WORLD BY ETHY

---

Cube part (0-20%) - Hm, I have mixed feelings over this part. The gameplay in this part is all in all pretty fun in my opinion. It has good music sync and I really like that you chose this kind of gameplay because it really fits to the melodic parts of the song Not bad! My only complaint here would probably be at 10% when you're goind upside-down because it's kinda hard to react to the sudden blocks; you need to jump quite quickly to make it. Now let's talk about the design... The design here is okay. It's not anything super original, but it looks nice. I like the color combinations. However, the air deco is quite bland and unorignal, it only consists of one type of block, an arrow and some sparkles. All in all the part is just quite boring. The block design isn't that good either, here you can try to be more creative and mix different types of blocks etc. into the block shapes. Also, at 10% if you don't jump quickly enough you will fall upside-down. I like that you put sawblades to stop you so you don't need to fall forever into the void everytime you do the mistake, but at the same time the sawblades doesn't look that good, plus that the air deco just stops in mid-air which looks odd and kinda bad. This is more nitpicking though. See attachment 1 to understand what I'm saying.

Ship Part (20-32%) - This part isn't as good as the previous one. The music sync here is okay. You sync the quick melodic beats with some size portals, but nothing more, and the part doesn't really fit to the music in my opinion. The gameplay was quite alright. I do believe you could've showed more the use of the key like more lights or something along those lines than just: "1. take the keys", 2 "It opens"... But smart move nonetheless. Now onto the design. I didn't like the design that much. It was quite boring, the air deco was the same thing copied over and over, there were only pillars as block forms, and the block design was unoriginal and bland. Try to make more unique air deco, add more variations to the block shapes and make more unique and creative block designs mixing different kinds of blocks and colors. Here it's just... blue, which makes it quite bland in my opinion. This part doesn't feel original the slightest either unfortunately.

Wave part (32-43%) – Now this part was quite… odd… To say the least. What was good about it was the sync, which was quite alright. It fit to the beat/melodic parts, and it also fit to the general atmosphere of the song. The gameplay was bland, but quite nice either way and that also synced to the music. The design was however very weird. The air deco was the exact same as the last part and was also copied and pasted over and over, so you definitely need to make more creative air deco, and just MORE decorations in general because it felt quite empty in my opinion. The block design in this part is way too empty and not good in my opinion. Try to mix more different kinds of blocks, plus that this block design is also used incorrectly because you forgot to fill in with the secondary blocks of this type. The effects was decent, but it why was it only used one time? This part also isn’t that original. All in all this part needs more work.

Cube Part (43-64%) - This is probably one of the worst parts in my opinion. The music sync is existant but could be improved, the design is way too empty and the block design is really bland, and the air deco is just one block copied and pasted over and over making the part way too empty. The gameplay is also quite unexpected and not that good in my opinion, but it’s not bad either, it’s just you could’ve made it a bit more fun and exciting. And then everything goes black between 54-64%. Why? This makes it SO BORING, and it just feels like a lazy move. I want you to fill everything up with gameplay and design in the entire build-up, I do not accept a sudden black segment lasting for a tenth of the level. Please, please refrain from doing this.

Wave Part (64-80%) – The music sync here is hardly shown, but I can see that you’ve put some lasers which mvoes synchronized to the sound-effect which is cool. Now both gameplay-wise and design-wise this part needs work. Gameplay-wise I didn’t enjoy it at all, because you had no time reacting to the spikes since they were hidden behind the black blocks, and that was a real disappointment to me. Just because I had no idea where the spike would appear and suddenly I died without any warning made me really dislike this part unfortunately. Design-wise this also needs a bit of work because it felt quite messy. The circle pulsating objects/the dots I felt really added to the mess. Either remove them or make more of them but lower the opacity on all of them. Now the black blocks on the sides weren’t really good either because the lines didn’t HAVE CORNER PIECES. Please add corner pieces, it makes everything SOOO much better ;3; Other than that the part just felt a bit disorganized and messy, so just try to make the air decorations really fit to each other so it looks more clean and organized. This part isn’t really original, unfortunately. All in all a part that needs a lot of work.

Several Parts (80-100%) – Definitely the best part in terms of gameplay! The sync was really good, especially in terms of gameplay. The gameplay was fun with varied gamemodes, and it was not boring at any spot. Now the air decorations were hardly there, and it was only sparks which made the level pretty empty. Also, YOU NEED TO ADD CORNER PIECES. It prevents the level from looking incomplete so it is a good tool  The block design could need some work too. Also, when you have decorations which moves you to the end, try to fade them out instead of moving with you inside the finish line as awkwardly as you did here. All in all a decent part.

Gameplay: All in all pretty bland gameplay except the first and last art which were more varied and synced more to the music. But especially the wave part at 64% needs improvement because the spikes comes way too fast to you to be able to react to them.

Design: Good in some parts, but quite unoriginal and empty at certain parts. The block designs also needs improvement. Air decorations were not good in my opinión, the best part was the start however.

Originality: Needs a lot of improvement here.

Music Sync: All in all pretty good music sync!
