Alrighty.

So right off the bat there's a few issues. The black objects with the white outlines kind of pop up out and contrast with the green obstacles. There's also a large amount of copy-paste stars. You could have varied the size and rotation of the stars to make it not look so ctrl-c ctrl-v. In general the section although it had a custom background and stuff, just felt extremely empty. More objects does not necessarily make the level more filled. The obstacles moving from trigger orbs could have used easing. And all black orbs were skippable in this part. In addition, there were lots of going offscreen and just overall didn't flow that well. The gameplay itself wasn't terrible, but could've been a lot more dynamic, using a larger variety of sequences.

Going into the spider part. MUCH MUCH better, but still extremely lacking in the filling. The gameplay was much more varied, block designs were a lot cleaner as well. The ship gameplay was very varied in the Y-axis, which is great. Usually creators just put straight boring sections, so it's nice to see that movement happening. However, going back to the deco, although it looks much better, it still can't really compare to even the lowest of recent rated levels. This may have fit in 1.9, but in 2.1 more complexiciation is needed to compete. Try expanding your color palette rather than using monochrome. Also the background and stars were just the same.

After that part is this long, boring empty auto section with a few single spike jumps, and the copy pasted stars again. This part was not very good. If there is space to put something, you should. Don't just leave it black.

the transition into the next part is rather sudden, I would prefer a smoother transition. This part again, doesn't look horrible, but is a very outdated style. Not to mention that once more the background remains the same. Also the black orb is skippable, and the gameplay although decent, could be so much more dynamic. The structures as well are once again just copy-pasted. Try to vary your designs in every way possible to avoid boring repetition.

The final wave part again has so many of the same copy-pasted assets shown in every section preceding it. The gameplay was unique for a level of this day and age with the structures implying a miniwave, but the actual gamemode being a normal wave, and vice versa. However because of the copy-pasted obstacles, it is extremely repetitive and gets boring quickly.

Overall tips. Chill out with the copy-paste. Try to change things up, and try to never use the same thing in different gamemode sections. Make more complex and less messy designs. Vary positioning of decoration objects. Use more colors that work together instead of just single color schemes. Use more pulsing objects/background flashes. Make more dynamic and ever-changing gameplay (the ship part nailed it). Avoid unnecessary long boring empty parts, in this case that starry blackness with the miniblocks. And as always, I suggest taking a look at recently rated levels from really good creators (try to avoid looking at the generic trash, that's what you do NOT want to do).

The decoration ranged from terrible to below average due to outdatedness and the gameplay ranged from boring, repetitive, and not flowing very well to pretty nice (the ship part).

There is definitely lots of room for improvement however.
