In a lot of levels, the difficulty is not the same throughout. A six star level may be more seven star oriented near the end, or a demon may start like many nine stars. I classified the shifting of difficulty throughout a level into 5 general types. Which is your favorite?
Increasing: The 2nd most commonly used and my personal favorite, I think making a level harder as it progresses makes a good level more exciting to play through. Difficulty tends to jump up at the 'drop' of a level
Decreasing: This is rather strange and not seen often, where the level starts difficult and ends up being easy. Cataclysm has this attribute
Consistent: The difficulty of the level does not change much at all. Most creators shoot for this type.
Roadblocks: Difficulty is generally consistent, but some specific areas are quite a bit harder than the rest. Demons use this most often I find.
Variable: Difficulty is all over the place. Generally this a common sign of a bad level, but this can be used properly if one has le skillz

I like levels to start and end easy, the hardest parts should be at the drop So that would be classified as Roadblock? And I've never seen a Variable level before (one that switches from easy to demon in an instant), and I hope it stays that way...

Decreasing. It feels rewarding after the hard part to have an easy part to finish.
