Decoration/Designing: 6/15 - Overall, there at least is block design and air decoration which is definitely good. They're both quite messy though. The colors are the main reason the decoration may not be so appealing, but I'll get to that later. Some parts actually have pretty decent block design, but there are parts which honestly have really sloppy looking block designing. The block structure do vary a lot, which is good! Having some air deco is at least better then having none, but it just doesn't look so great overall because it's quite sloppy. Gameplay: 2/10 - The gameplay is pretty bad and unfair, especially for an easy demon difficulty level. The level is definitely not easy demon difficulty. My least favorite part of the gameplay was the dual. It feels buggy and it was really painful to pass. But, I did sort of like the beginning gameplay, as well the the wave at 64%. Overall, very buggy feeling gameplay, and I wasn't a fan of lots of the transitions. Colors: 0/5 - The color usage is the downfall of this level. They don't go together very well overall, and there is a serious lack of blending. Also I didn't like the way those puzzle pieces pulses at 80%. Sync: 4/5 - Definitely my favorite part of the level. The level seems to be very sync focused. Maybe a part or 2 didn't have that great of sync, but overall, the sync is nice! Effects or Originality: 3/10 - Really nothing too impressive. I'll give the 2 points because I like that you at least added custom backgrounds. Not very original, but it definitely doesn't fall under the "generic" category. Also I saw a few effects which bumped up the score a little bit. Overall: 15/45 - It's hardly star rate worthy. I'd focus on colors the most for sure. Learn how to use blending, and make the colors look good when they go together. Also, focusing on the the gameplay, make it more fun and fair! It was kind of painful to play. I'd also work on block designing. Don't be let down by the score, there were things I found quite cool as well!  I'd move to "Needs Improvement". |

Xuser Level name: Empowered Author: thexxuser ID: 37297453 Review: Gameplay: 5/10: This level was not the most fun level that I've played. It had some kind of annoying parts. The spider/cube dual was kind of annoying. That part is pretty tight and it's hard to nail both the spider transition and get the cube to where it needs to. The last spider was pretty confusing too. That part also has a bug where the spider doesn't go all the way up to the green orb. This seems to happen if you click it too late. The gameplay was pretty clean otherwise though. I liked the mini ship gameplay somewhat, and there's also some unique gameplay too, especially with how you get some of the coins throughout the level. Overall the gameplay isn't too good, but at least it's clean. Design: 2/10: This is probably the weakest point of the level. The colors in this level are generally not very good. The colors don't contrast very well or flow very well. The design in some areas is cluttered. The part at 65% is an example of this. There's just a lot on the screen at once. In that part, there's also the rotating glow X, which doesn't look very good. The part after it has the design that follows you on the left side. While there's clearly some effort put into it, it doesn't look the best. The colors could be improved in this section to make it look cleaner. The custom backgrounds are pretty limited, and are somewhat underwhelming. It doesn't appear to use any until later in the level, and the ones that are there don't look great. Overall, there are some attempts at good design, but overall it just looks cluttered. Music Sync: 8/10: I'll give you some credit where credit is due. Your music sync is very good in this level. Even at some of the more annoying parts like the spider/cube dual, the sync is very good. Some parts that could use a bit of improvement are the cube parts. They don't sync the best, but they do sync. Overall there is some very good sync in this level. Overall: 15/30: NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: Overall, this level definitely has room for improvement, so needs improvement is probably the best spot for it. There are some good elements, but ultimately the design of the level was your downfall. If you can improve at color usage and design though, you have a good shot at getting a star rated level. @jy2000 review my review?

If this was a level one year ago I probably would have put it in Decent, but now looking at the other levels placed in NI it looks like I have to update the way I look at levels. I'm so old :v
Also just wanna add a small but maybe important detail if you ever plan on updating the level. When I played it at least, tons of the slopes were really buggy and launched me differently each time. Again it might be just me and Robtop's curse being put upon me, but just for future reference many of them, bugged for me.
Anyways, review approv'ed, moving to NI.
