Not much say here, the description of the level says it all. This is also my first full length level in quite a while. ID: 24293928 No video, sorry. If someone would like to record a video, that would be appreciated. Hope you enjoy! Edit: It's been a week now, nobody has reviewed this. TimeLink milesman34

Alright, here we go!
Gameplay Compliments: Gameplay of the first square part is the best in the level. Its pretty easy to understand and isn't buggy, which is nice! I like that you gave the player arrows to follow in some parts, it helps more than you might think. Another good thing is that the gameplay doesn't ever get too repetitive. Its cool how the gravity portals in that one ship part later on sync to the music as well
Gameplay Suggestions: Making portals invisible is NOT a good idea. Whether its a teleport portal, or a gamemode portal or whatever, it surprises the player and makes them crash and its hard to remember where it is (but if you put words or a symbol or something instead its okay). Also, having objects move right in front of the player so they can't see them except for like 0.5 second before they die is not a good idea, for the same reason. Arrows help, but its not the same– if you still want the effect of the objects moving, make it so that they're done moving before they reach the player. Finally having a square part with just orbs is pretty boring, since you can buffer every jump. I suggest mixing it up.
Decoration Compliments: I like how you chose a theme for the level and stuck with it, but still changed things every so often. The custom backgrounds look pretty nice, and I especially like the first square because it has nice block design and a little decoration, and it isn't too full or too empty. I also think its good how the custom background in the ship part is a little animated and doesn't just stand still, that makes it more interesting.
Decoration Suggestions: Everything past the first wave part is ugly. A custom background by itself, especially if it doesn't fill the screen, doesn't look good. At the very least you should've added some decoration, but all I see is lines and gameplay items for the most part. It comes off as kinda lazy :p The first ship and wave aren't really the best either, plain black blocks and arrows and rainbow bg seems bland, perhaps some block design, interesting outlines, etc. would make it look more interesting.
Overall: The level overall is not very good, but the first square part is actually quite nice and if you can build that good consistently throughout an entire level than you're in buisness and could probably get a star rated level. I'll be moving this to Decent, and if this were to be given a difficulty I would personally rate it 6* because the first ship/wave is kinda difficult.
