While I was gone at my Grandparents' house, I decided to start making a level. Here it is!
Name: Bouquet
Creator: llRoseradell (My Extra Account)
ID: 36550682
Rating: Easy/Normal
Solo Level
Song: JoarZ - Red Roses (Original Mix)
Objects: Around 20K
I personally tried to do okay deco, unlike usual. Usually I make Layouts or levels with Low Deco. The level is dedicated to MattShea, EVW and Lemons. Hope you enjoy it for my first level I tried on.
Sorry I couldn't provide a video.

Level Name: Bouquet Creator: llRoseradell Level ID: 36550682 Requested Difficulty: Easy-Normal 2-3* Competitor?: No Gameplay
General
The gameplay is extremely slow and boring. I kinda get it since it's a 2-3 star level, but there's 2-3 star levels that have better fun gameplay, like ReTray, for example. I don't think this level's gameplay is up to par.Transitions
The transitions don't stand out much. The one that stands out the most is the jump pad turning you from cube to spider, which isn't much, to be honest.
Synchronization
The sync is alright. Nothing amazing, but it's just pretty alright synchronization. Nothing too detailed to say here.
Difficulty of Level
An Easy 2* rating is best for this level. However, I'm not sure if that's a good thing. The gameplay consists of slow, boring movements that make this level extremely easy. I think it probably would've been more fun as an auto level. :/
Decoration
Air Decoration
I don't recall there being any air decoration in this level. The background stands out in this level so much that it isn't necessary, which is quite an achievement.Block Designs
I kinda like them. The ones at the spider section aren't very good and the Parallax effect isn't done very well either, but I like the pixelated block style at the cube parts, particularly with the spikes. They're alright. Not too good, but not awful either.Art and Backgrounds
The background honestly stands out in this level so well that it doesn't even need air decoration to back it up. It isn't perfect, as the clouds look kinda out of place, but it's a pretty good background. However, there really needs to be variation. Throughout the entire level is the same background, and it gets boring after a while. Try changing it or at least the color. And on a side note, don't leave the ground the default color and style. Change it so it looks like grass.
Final Thoughts
Score39%/100% - I'd like to apologize, but this level is just really slow and boring, to describe it. There's very little change and very few things done well. I'd put this in the Needs Improvement board. But fortunately, that's what I'm here for: to help people improve. Here's some things that you could change.
What Can Be Improved?- Make more backgrounds
- Vary more in block designs
- Make the gameplay more fun and exciting, without any or too many random auto sections, like at the end.
Bugs and visual issues you should fix:- In the top left corner, there's a weird block. It would look better if you deleted it.
- Try making the Parallax effect look smoother, or just delete it altogether if it comes down to that.
- The sun in the spider part looks kinda weird and non-circular.
- Change the default ground so it looks like grass and is green. You could remove the line if you want.
- Set the background to "Dont Fade" because it looks weird, with the grass fading on the sides of the screen.
- Change the color of the clouds so they look less out-of-place. Maybe try white, or a lighter shade of blue.
- At the very end of the level, flying out of the screen just looks weird. Have it so there's something up there, like space, or have it so the player doesn't fly up at all.
Optional things you could do that might help:- Maybe try adding flowers. They would look pretty good with the level (if you change the default ground).

Review approved. I agree, Don't Fade is needed for the background, as it made it look terrible, most notably with the sun, with it on it'll help it a lot. Also, the background doesn't look real good to me. Obnoxious, I would suggest rotating the blocks that make up the grass to form hills, and use actual grass decoration on top, also make clouds with glows, not the standard 1.0 decoration. Also, Joltik, I've seen you making a ton of reviews today, I didn't have enough time to check over all of them, but good job anyways!  Moving to Needs Improvement. |
