Here's to a first post and a first review!
Gameplay - As for gameplay, there was very little wrong. I did not find any bugs in your level. I do have to say that the mini wave at 37% was probably the hardest part of the level, but it was still fair. The darkness of the level made it hard to tell where to go sometimes, but that's just me nitpicking. I also did not like how the wall at around 75% made it hard to react to the spikes. But overall, very good gameplay. 9/10
Design - The design for this level is spot on. The first 80% or so is beautiful with the custom backgrounds and constantly changing block design. The only thing I will say is that I'm not the biggest fan of the clouds as orbs. Because of how quiet the song was, I did not notice the arrow pointing to it so I did not know to jump. That's really all I have to say about the first 80% I'm not the biggest fan of the drop because of the lack of color. It also feels rushed imo. The parallax effect is pulled off quite nicely however. 9/10
Music Sync - This is the one thing I care about the most when making my levels, and the music sync in this level is nearly perfect. With it being a very simple and easy level, I can understand that not every beat will be emphasized, but you did a great job with the sync throughout the entire level. Every jump or portal switch is accounted for. 9.5/10
I think that 16 downloads is an atrocious number for a level of this caliber and I hope to see it star rated or even featured soon. (P.S sent you a friend request)

I'm thinking about changing the cloud orbs into something else (still orbs, but different style). If anyone has a good idea for it, then please let me know and I might use it. If it's a really good idea, then I'll give a shout out to you on my gd profile and I'll say that you gave the idea for that part.

Is anyone else willing to write a review or give feedback?

Yeah, crossblade summed up a lot of my thoughts on this level. Here are some other things that I want to point out: - Although each of the designs were good by themselves (I personally loved the starry-night design), they weren't really connected to each other at all. Always make sure that the designs in your level stick to a single theme and don't contrast too much with each other.
- There is a weird timing at around ~48% in the level with the pink orb where you have to wait a bit before tapping it or else you'll hit the monsters. You might want to make it easier since it's pretty out of place in a 4 star difficulty level.
That being said, I'm approving his review and I think this deserves a feature. Moving this to Feature-Worthy.Difficulty: 4
Biggs (Also, the cloud orbs don't necessarily need to be changed to a different design, it just needs to be clearer that they are, in fact, orbs)

Biggs (Also, the cloud orbs don't necessarily need to be changed to a different design, it just needs to be clearer that they are, in fact, orbs) Thank you for the feedback! I'll fix the timing at 48% as well as making the cloud orbs more visible. It'd be too big of a change to change the themes up, but I'll keep that in mind on my future lvls. Thanks for putting the lvl in the feature-worthy section! 😊

I made 48% a bit easier (let me know if it's still just as hard), but I didn't make the clouds brighter/more visible. I tried making them brighter and have a higher opacity %, but it didn't look as good and didn't fit in quite right. Although, I added a tip in the level''s desc. to turn up your device's brightness.
