Solstice
by TheRealSquirrelID: 21891389
Category: Feature-Worthy
Judge: Rexone
Suggested Rating:  5
Given Rating 5 (Featured!)
Video:
Overall: For the whole level, the design was just perfect. My favorite piece of art was the dragon, but the custom background at the end was excellent too. There's also a good amount of originality. The gameplay and sync are slightly lacking, but it's not a big problem. Overall, excellent level.
Full Review (Written on July 25th, 2016 by Rexone):
First Impressions: This level just seems incredible. The gameplay is great and the design is perfect.
Game-mode Breakdown
0%-37%:
Cube: The custom background is great. I like how it goes with the music. This whole section uses moving objects excellently. The floor hazards are also unique. The block design is good. The gameplay and sync are pretty great too. There's nothing I would change about this part.
Robot: The new custom background is good. I especially like the animation on it. The diamond is a little annoying but I suppose without it, this part wouldn't have been as lively. Again, the gameplay is good. The sync here is okay. Note: you die at 18% if you don't press the pink orb before at exactly the right time, which is quite annoying
Ship: The equalizer here isn't necessarily unique, but it still adds to the background anyway. I'm not sure about the custom background here, but that could just be my preference. The moving objects at 29% and 34% are a bit unfair.
38%-62%:
Ball: The animation in the background is amazing. So is the background itself. The block design is great. The only thing I would change is the spinning decorations on the orbs. I think they should go under instead of on top. I'd also just like to mention that maybe you could've made custom orbs. That would look perfect for this level. The sync here is okay.
UFO: And now the boss battle. This is so creative, really. The custom background is great as always. I like how it flashes colors to the music. The gameplay is fair, as you have time to move out of the way.
63%-100%:
Wave: This dragon is honestly my favorite part of the whole level. It's so well made and animated. I only wish the battle could be a little longer.
Cube: The custom background here is amazing. The gameplay is good and the sync is pretty good.
Wave: The 3D shapes are pretty cool. Not much to say about gameplay. The sync here is the flashes, which works I guess.
Gameplay: 17/20 (Feature-worthy)
The gameplay never really blew me away, but it was very good nevertheless.
Design: 20/20 (Feature-worthy)
Full score. For the whole level, the design was just perfect. My favorite piece of art was the dragon, but the custom background at the end was excellent too. The only thing I would change is the orb decoration. And maybe even making a custom orb. (Both mentioned in the percentage breakdown)
Sync: 6.5/10 (Good)
The sync was not the best, but it was there.
Originality: 1.09x
This was quite original. The first boss battle with the colored squares and the second one with the dragon come to mind.
Overall: 47.42/60
FEATURE-WORTHY
The design is perfect and there's a good amount of originality. The gameplay and sync are slightly lacking, but it's not a big problem. Overall, excellent level.

Technetium

Category: Feature-Worthy
Judge: v0rt3x
Suggested Rating:  10
Given Rating  0 (Unrated)
Video:
Overall: This is a very nice tech-themed level with many varied backgrounds and great effects.
Full Review (Written on July 30th, 2016 by v0rt3x):
Deco: The deco was nearly perfect! The design was consistently good, as well as being very detailed without having to sacrifice visibility. It had a consistent theme, but had variations to the specifics and the colors making it great throughout. One minor complaint however is that the boss didn't look very interesting or unique, but for what it was it still looked good. 9.5/10.
Gameplay: The gameplay was incredibly good. It was fun as well as challenging, and you could see that lots of planning went into the gameplay. My one issue was the last bossfight has very boring gameplay. It plays out like every other tech-themed bossfight. It's way too similar to everything else, thus making it not very memorable or engaging. But other than that, the gameplay is amazing. 8.5/10.
Sync and flow: The sync is really good throughout the level, and the song fits the theme well. The transitions are also really good. They aren't frustrating or annoying and give you plenty of time to react. And too top it off, it has no bugs that I came across. 9/10
Originality Multiplier: It's not unnoriginal, but it isn't exactly unique either. x1.00.
Overall: This level is great! It's has fun and challenging fast-paced gameplay with some great deco. Overall, the score is 27/30. Most deffinitelly feature worthy (maybe even first page)
