[ti]insane[/ti]Minimalistic Era by AlFas [1.4]

How i judge:
1-2 = needs improvement
3-4 = decent
5-6 = good
7-8 = great
9 = feature worthy
10 = perfect

Gameplay - 5/10:
Ok so the first cube part was ok, just i didnt get much of a warning about the blue gravity ball or anything. try allowing the player to understand that it is coming up by putting a warning sign there or something? the first ship part was great just it was so short. i would recommend try making it a bit longer as it honestly does make for a fun challenge. Now the First ball part was also ok, nothing wrong there. Except for the transition to the next cube part was just bad, i can't tell you enough how that one part pissed me off so much, it just feels so wrong and out of place and just doesn't flow well. with the 2nd cube part i loved it. only problem with it is that it is pretty random. no real problems with the rest of it except for in the 50%-52% part, how are the players supposed to know what to do their? give some type of warning there or something. rest of it was decent just needs to be smoothed out a bit more and just needs some warnings on some parts.

Design - 3/10:
biggest reason is just honestly there is a lot of repetitive parts in the level and the background with the red clouds? i don't get the clouds at all just change them or remove them. the rest of the background was ok it was just that it was quite repetitive and never really gave me any hype.

Originality - 4/10:
you seemed to add some pretty original designs and some nice and fresh parts to your level, some parts i have seen from other levels but other than that i think you did a decent job.

Sync - 7-10:
this level synced with the music really well, i had no problems with it except at some points when it did seem to lag behind or press ahead of the music. other then small little mistakes you did really well.

Overall - 4/10 (high tier decent)
this level was pretty OK. didn't love it but i didn't hate it, if i have to say one thing to the creator, work hard on this level and this could be pretty awesome.

ey man didnt mean to offend you, was my first review, honestly i didnt hate it but i didn't think this was good because, the bg just wasn't good, it felt off. anyway i hope there isnt any hard feelings. cos m8 i did see you did work hard on this level, just i don't know where the work was focused on. since well the bg? i think theres the problem... its 1.4 does it need a custom bg? seriously sometimes the most simple answer is the best answer.

Gameplay
It's decent, can be bad at times but overall quite decent.
6/10
Design
It's bad. Just that. It's bad.
4/10
Sync
The sync fits perfectly with the song, some parts are questionable, like from 29% to 35%, but i'll let that slide because it's very hard to sync there.
10/10

Overall score: 20/30
It's decent for the gameplay, design needs improvement ASAP, but the sync is near perfect, since i don't use decimals in my score i just put a 10.

ok lets see, firstly whilst i was playing i never really found your background fun. it never gave the level impact and honestly it was "somewhat" repetitive. anyway anything that involves curves or act like ropes or what ever would fit quite nicely in this level, using the natural background with your own custom bg is really effective and seeing something that is meant to be based on clutter-funk would be AMAZING.

your level in general just needs more warnings at those parts where you can no longer see the character, those spots involve more pure memory then skill making them tedious.

there were some pretty bad transitions in between some parts like when you go from the ball to the ship. it was just glitchy in some areas and i feel like just a small tweak in some areas would make them feel alot more smooth.

other than that your level design was ok and i didn't have too much problems. so yeah that was decent, you had pretty well done syncing which doesn't really require too much attention right now.

OVERALL, you should work on leveling the amount of natural and custom bg goes into this level, you should focus on being more player friendly as even though this is a insane it isn't a demon, transitions between gamemodes (e.g. ball to ship, wave to cube, etc), fix small syncing problems and stuff like that.

you do this and i would give you 8 to maybe even a 9, though maybe a 7 is ok cos i mean the idea isn't as original.

anyway, hope this level becomes dank as f*** and remember harsh judges are the best judges. see ya

Gameplay:Its a little fun and not-buggy.Its also pretty hard!(stuck at the start!) 8/10
Design:Its very good for 1.4!!!!! 9/10
Detail:I can see its pretty detailed,custom background is awesome! 9/10
Sync:Nice! 10/10


OVERALL:
36/40 Insane 9* High-End Star worthy(maybe feature) for 2.0
40/40 Demon 10* Legendary for 1.4

thx
and sorry for poor review,i had to go ;(

Gameplay
Pretty good for a 1.4-styled level. The gameplay has a ton of transitions to freshen things up but most of them are long enough such that it's not too disorienting to play. Difficulty is also fairly balanced and stays consistently hard the entire time.

The big issue with the gameplay is something I've noticed in the other Era levels as well. There are some parts where obstacles or jump orbs/pads are offscreen and the player can't see them until they're about to pass it. This is especially noticable in the latter half of the level where it starts getting transition-heavy and the camera moves around a lot. 69% and 77% both have portals which move the camera down and it's impossible to know what's going to happen unless the player already knows it beforehand. Avoid transitions like these since even if they're auto, it's still possible for the player to tap and die since they don't know what's going to happen. If you will use them, make sure the player can't die immediately after entering the portal regardless of whether they tapped or not.

Decoration
While there weren't any empty parts in the level, there were times where the decoration got too messy. A lot of the level were filled with too many sawblades to the point where it looked messy, especially 48-59%. Always make sure there's enough space between the sawblades and use all 3 different kinds instead of just the biggest one all the time to make it look more organized instead of all over the place. Also, while the addition of the block backgrounds were nice and filled the level up quite a lot, I do think there should've been a few parts with no block background to make it less repetitive (the different blocks used all look almost identical).

That being said, the level has its good moments as well. Block design is varied up often and makes good use of all the blocks that were available on 1.4. Also, like I said above, there weren't any empty parts in the level.

Music Sync
Great job here. The transitions and especially the jumps of the cube and robot were very well-synced to the music.

Overall
There are some major issues with the level but it has the potential to reach good. Decent.
