[ti]Hard[/ti][5-6 stars] Melodyx By RealLatif

Here we go!

Gameplay: 8.5/10 - It's not too bad. However, it's not entirely fun (and yes, I've seen 5-star levels that are fun to play). I would work on making the gameplay go a lot more to the music. I don't have much else to say about gameplay, since the dynamics of the gameplay is average, as is the variety (actually, it's not too bad, which is why I put in the extra .5 there).

Block Deco: 4.5/5 - I liked the block deco quite a bit. It fulfills the purpose of the level as a whole. In the micro-sense, it's pretty detailed, and I enjoy the details. In the macro-sense, there's enough variation that I can call each part fitting to the level without being too similar. I didn't give you full points here because, naturally, there could've been more to the block deco. I think adding air deco to the blocks would've been a really good option. I noticed you did that in the buildup (0:21 - 0:31). Try doing that more often in the other places as well (especially with something like 0:49).

Background Deco: 3/5 - Generic and pretty empty, unfortunately. In this level, making a lot of background stuff would've been very welcoming, and even necessary for this level to be better as a whole. I would make the background a lot more unique than just single-type blocks. They're boring, and while it doesn't necessarily mess up the level, more could've been done for the level to be much more satisfying. That said, shoutout for 0:07 - 0:21 for the simple mountain custom background - they're always my weakness.

Effects: 9/10 - Actually, the effects in the level is quite nice. I especially like the buildup (0:21 - 0:28) when the roof and ground obstacles shoot out a bit like that. It's really nice. Pulsing is nicely managed. I wish more could've been done at some places (like 0:35 and 0:49). Other than that, nicely made.

Sync: 4/5 - I found that the sync in the beginning was distorted a bit, but it managed to pick itself up after 0:07. Nothing for the common eye to see, but definitely not so good for the critical eye. And I am a critical eye. The rest of the level has no issues with sync, more or less.

Originality: 3.5/5 - again, generic backround, which is the main source of my problem with originality. No obvious copy+paste in other areas, but the background really hurts me. Try making more variety in the background.

Total: 32.5/40 - Good level

The level isn't bad (pulse is effective, blocks are various and decorative), and gameplay isn't that bad, but the background is what makes me writhe in my seat. The background is actually pretty empty, and because of that, if I were Robtop, I wouldn't feature it. If you did more for the background, like what I mentioned before, you would've definitely gotten a luckier shot with that level. Keep up the good work, though!
