[ti]Hard[/ti]Pirates By: N4TH4N (Me) Hard 5 Stars*

On the behalf of all the level judges I would like to say thank you for your patience.

I'm going to attempt a new style of judging, so please bear with me

Gameplay
Throughout the level the gameplay isn't horrible, but in all honesty it isn't what I would describe as compelling. There are an ample amount of bugs and odd timings throughout the level's entirety that produce a negative impact on the level's gameplay score.
Some examples of some of the bugs I ran into were the Small auto part from the ship transitioning into the ball and an end bug where I would fly through the ceiling and die upon the level's completion (only happened once).
odd timings include the transition into the first ship and gravity portals within the first ship section. In all honesty the gameplay has room to improve, but It's not something that is going to be too hard to fix. playing through the level a couple times and taking note of the areas that are giving you problems should give you a pretty good idea of where most of the errors are, where feedback from the people who are playing your levels should give you the rest. 
Personal notes: 
-gameplay is not concurrent with that of a 5 star level, i would suggest something more along the lines of 6 stars, maybe seven.

Gameplay Score: 6/10
-2 for various bugs 
-2 for VERY odd timings 

Decoration
It's hard to say, but the decoration style was odd, as if it really didn't fit in with the level or the song in the first place, at least for the first half of the level. I really do have to give you props for picking it up during the level's second half. although I did notice that you, like many other creators I see on this board, don't really use move triggers. Don't get me wrong I do see Some move triggers, but nothing that really sticks out. your block design are bland, nothing really noticeable in that area. Finally the waving design blocks that you have surrounding the pillars expose a gap when the pillars that the player land on go down. Other then that the deco was awesome, I really appreciated how it picked up during the second half of the level. My suggestions on how to fix what can be fixed are this: Get in touch with someone who can help you with move triggers (Tutorial, a friend, even me if you need) if you don't already know how to. Use fading or move triggers to get rid of an object rather then a harsh disappearance with a toggle trigger, which I noticed with the sun art in the beginning. Finally, put a little bit of interesting designs in your blocks, it makes the level look real nice in the end.

Personal notes:
-None

Decoration Score: 7/10
-1 for lack of 2.0 decoration aspects
-1 for lack of block design
-1 for discontinuity in waving block design (use layering and place waves behind the pillars layer to fix this)

Concept
To be honest there wasn't anything really original about this level, no new block designs and no real compelling background or block designs.
Funnygame, Manix, Ozpectro all have a unique building style, find yours and you'll be set

Personal notes:
None

Concept score: 5/10
+/- 0 to base score of 5/10 for not presenting any compelling design and/ decoration aspects

Final score: 
(G+C+D)(10)=R
R/10= Final score 
Final score= 6/10
Moving to: Decent 

This level was bordering on the line of decent and needs improvement, but I see potential in you, Keep building and keep bringing your levels to us. I would love to see your growth as you continue showcasing your creativity.
