Munchy Caverns by JacobROso
General things to be said about the level: Wow, not bad! This level has solid design and very fun gameplay, and the music sync is also very good. Not many complaints here.
Cube part (0:00 – 0:11 / 0-9%) – This part is decent. It looks good: The colors are blended out and balanced, the color combinations are good, the gameplay is fair and square, and the music sync is existant. I love that you have that upside down gameplay for a split second at 0:09, that makes things really exciting (and it syncs to the music too
). The air-deco is kinda bland and unoriginal, but that’s not a real issue.
UFO Part (0:11 – 0:22 / 9-17%) – Probably my favorite part of the level in terms of gameplay! It’s extremely fun to play and I love how you placed so many gravity portals, it really makes it a lot more interesting to play. Designwise this is rather more average. Block design and color combinations are very good, but there is a lot of copy+paste, and the block shapes are boring. Music sync is very good in this part though!
Ship part (0:22 – 0:33 / 17-29%) – This part isn’t the best in my opinion. Designwise this is really bland, especially the block shapes, but I at least like that you have blocks inside the foregrounds. Still it feels kinda rushed, and copied and pasted. Gameplaywise this is really cool and fun, but maybe you could’ve placed a gravity portal at 0:28 to make it more interesting? I really like that you’ve put flashes in this part though, and it’s the perfect speed for the music which makes the gameplay more fun as well!
Ball part (0:33 – 0:39 / 29-35%) – Nice block designs and color combinations as always
Block shapes are kinda the same, but not a big issue here. Gameplay is good and interesting, music sync is on top as always. Not much to say here, really
Cube part (0:39 – 0:44 / 35-41%) Gameplay/sync-wise this is amazing. Interesting, fun, just very good. Designwise this is rather empty, and it feels very copied and pasted with identical block shapes. Find a way to make this part less empty by either placing more decorations, making the blocks stand from the ground instead of «floating» in the air, or simply build a simple custom-bg (kinda like Tongii’s). Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t really that big of an issue, but it’s something worth to think about.
Ship part (0:44 – 0:55 / 41-56%) – Hm, now this is good
Gameplay is fun and exciting, sync is top notch, design is nothing too original, but it looks nice and clean, and it is very good. Good job! ;D I must say I like the robot part more though, because the gameplay is even better there, even though it was kinda hard to see the orbs.
Several parts (0:55 – 1:06 / 56% - 70%) – The wave part has amazing gameplay which is very fun to play and syncs greatly to the music. The gameplay in the ship part isn’t anything particularly awesome, but it’s fair and square and has no real issues. Designwise it’s kinda the opposite actually. The wave part’s design is kinda bland and the block design isn’t that good and the color combinations is rather meh in my opinion. The dual ship however is really cool with fantastic block designs and good air deco; not bad!
Several Parts (1:06 – end / 70-100%) – From 1:06 and outwards it’s pretty much the same things: The sync is fantastic, the block designs and shapes are awesome, the color combinations are very good and the gameplay is very fun. Not bad
The dual cube is rather empty though; either add more blocks, or decorations or make a simple custom-BG. The UFO part and the cube part is however EXTREMELY good in terms of gameplay. The sync is awesome, it fits greatly to the music, it’s varied, has a lot of gravity portals in the UFO and is long from boring in the cube part as well. And the ending of the level is absolutely amazing. Awesome job!
Music Sync: Absolutely amazing and existant throughout the entirety of the level. Brilliant work!
Gameplay: Fun and exciting with minor flaws. Your UFO parts are extremely good!
Design: Amazing block design with somewhat empty parts and some parts with bland block shapes.
Originality: The level has some pretty unqiue block designs, but the design itself is similar to thousands of other levels.
Rating: FEATURE-WORTHY + LEVEL PICK!
