Hi there! I'm Dubby! <3 I'll be reviewing your level, (Level Name), using the USFE Volt-o-Meter System. Long story short, the scoring goes in letter order: U -> S -> F -> E, but if you want the full details, click here. Before I begin, I want to apologize for taking so long to get to this review, and to thank you for being patient. Also, I'm trying out a new system right now, so I might miss some things. Alright, here we go!  Gameplay The gameplay is certainly not very fun. This gameplay is very easy to learn due to the combination of how much memory it requires to complete and how "good troll" the level is. This level kinda trolls the player in a good way. It makes things appear and disappear that actually save you instead of kill you, something not enough levels do. However, it's still a very troll-y level with pretty subpar gameplay.
Cube: One of my main problems with the Cube sections in this level is they can easily be completed by holding the whole time, or almost the whole time. The real drag, though, is how obviously unplaytested it is. There's a lot of bugs and exploits in the level that can not only confuse the player, but they can literally act as shortcuts (intended ones, since there is a coin at one of them). The buildup and drop are probably one of the weaker portions of this level in terms of gameplay because of how hidden it is. U
Ship: There is one Ship part in this level that lasts for about three seconds, and it's pretty annoying as well. The portals are placed in a way so it's hard to see where the player is, and the instantly moving blocks are not helping this scenario, either. U
UFO: This level contains one UFO section in the buildup. It's pretty simple and not very exciting. However, it's not exactly annoying, per se. I'm only talking about the layout or gameplay here, so there's nothing wrong with giving the UFO section an S for at least being tolerable. S
Synchronization: The sync isn't all that great. The background color changes at the end seem to flash at random, and the blocks don't move very well with the sync. The portals (not all of them) come in to the beat of the song, but overall, there's just nothing to take from the sync. U
Decoration The decoration in this level is just...really...1.0-ish. This isn't intended to be a 1.0-style level in any way, so I'm just left confused here. I just...have no idea what to say. The block design is not creative or original in any way (especially since it's a preset 1.0 block with Swipe enabled), and the air decoration is really bare. U
The background makes it hard to see the text at the start of the level.
The fake gears at the start of the level look extremely out of place, especially the color (a reason why using P1 colors is not a good idea).
The background changing color at the end just looks pretty forced. If this seizure-enducing sequence didn't happen, I could probably judge this as a layout.
The background and ground colors don't go well together. The darkness under the ground makes matters slightly worse here. Miscellaneous One thing that stands out to me in this level is the triggers. The amount of triggers you used in this level is probably greater than the number of static blocks, which is a major problem. Blocks should never move this much, especially as quickly as they do. Some move instantaneously, and some move slower, but in a weird direction and way. You should probably lay off on the triggers, or maybe show something to indicate that something will happen, like some arrows. U
Conclusion Overall, this level just feels very sloppy and messy, with lots of triggers everywhere and 1.0 blocks that were spammed by using Swipe to support an untested and buggy layout. The sync is pretty subpar and the colors just feel really weird. Hopefully, if you read through this review all the way, you can find some ways to correct your mistakes. 
This level has been moved.Final Rating: Needs Improvement (U) |

Don't post in threads unless it contributes to the topic of the thread. Otherwise, this is considered postfarming. @jy2000 I see you're online. Already judged by me, unofficially marked as Needs Improvement. @electromario2001 please refrain from posting on this thread again unless you have something to contribute to the thread topic, which is the level requesting to be judged. |

I'm gonna have to agree with the review. The gameplay is really subpar with lots of annoying moving objects and popups, and isn't really that fun, and the decoration is essentially a layout. Try looking at some recent rated level for some inspiration (but don't completely copy them).
Review hast been approve'd, moving to NI.
