Review:

Gameplay: 6/10: The Gameplay in this level could use some improvements. The gameplay in some parts of the level aren't very exciting and some parts are really tight. For example, a jump that was excessively tight for a level like this was that first small ball part. The movements were really tight and had to be timed almost on point or you would crash. An example of a part that was boring was the spider part at 38%. The wasn't really a whole lot of action there and you moved pretty slowly and deliberately through that part. Also at 31%, the blue gravity portal didn't line up with the custom portal you made making for a very awkward transition. Also the ending was a little boring too. Some positives were the first ship part (besides the off centered portal). It synced nicely with the tone of the music and was pretty good since I know it's hard to make particularly good ship gameplay. As a matter of fact, all of the ship gameplay was pretty good. But the boringness of some of the parts and weird transitions brings down your score.

Design: 7/10: This part was a little better but not that much better. I like the custom portals you made, but you didn't make one for the spider portal at 38% for whatever reason. You also didn't create any for the speed portals except one, which I found a little odd. Going into block design, it's pretty good in some parts, but some parts look copy pasted. the faces in the gears were probably copy pasted and put into different sizes. I see a lot of similar or even identical designs in the first ship. There's this one block design you seem to repeat a lot and that's this one that looks like a box-like infinity symbol. It seems to repeat a lot throughout the level. The 1 second wave parts seem to copy this as well as some earlier parts. Moving onto air decoration, there looked like there was a faded glow in the first cube, which isn't really that good of a decoration feature. The air decoration in the ship was alright, but something you can improve on is not making the red dots abruptly change direction as it kind of ruins the peacefulness of it if it makes an abrupt change like that. Other than that there isn't much to say for air decoration. For custom backgrounds there isn't much either. Just some simple block designs in the background and not much more. Also, in the end, it looks like you missed some of the filler blocks for the ground so the custom background actually kind of went into the ground blocks. If you replay it and look at the ground the player is on at the end you will see what I mean. Overall, good designs, but don't copy and paste as much.

Music Sync: 7/10: This part is better than the other 2. Some parts sync pretty nicely, while other parts don't really sync much. The first main spider syncs pretty well, but only really in the gameplay. The first ship syncs well, but as I was saying earlier with the sudden changes, they don't sync with the music. That probably would've made it a bit better if the abrupt change actually synced with the song but it doesn't. The last cube could use better sync as well. Overall though, pretty good sync.

Originality: 4/10: Yeah I'm sorry to say but this level isn't very original. Some of the block designs are copy and pasted, the custom portals are used in a lot of levels, in 2.0 and 2.1, the custom backgrounds aren't really too unique, and the level is generally not the most original. Some parts I will say were somewhat original was the first ship BG and the coin, but other than that this level really isn't too special.

Overall: 24/40: DECENT: This level in my opinion belongs in decent. If the level didn't have as much copy and paste, as well as some better music sync, this could get into Good. Otherwise though, the main thing bringing down this level was the originality. I think you have a really good handle as a creator though and wish you a bright future in creating.
