Alrighty, let's judge this level shall we? Gameplay - 17/33 Let's begin with a couple of good things. The vehicle usage is spot on, you use all vehicles in this level with no exceptions and you do not forget about one of them which is a good thing in all levels as of update 2.11. On top of this, you use duals, mini portals, and jump orbs to increase the feel of your gameplay which makes a level incredibly good. The music sync within this level isn't too horrible either, it was very good from the beginning on, so nice work in that area. What hurts your level in terms of gameplay happens to be where the cube hits the 2 blue jump orbs within the red area. First off, it is incredibly hard to see that area, but worse off, it lags. There will be more about that in a minute. Then we move into this dual wave section. I see your idea here and I like the thought of it. However, it is pretty buggy and a bit too hard for your 4 star level. When making a level, your difficulty should be consistent throughout it and not have one part that is extremely hard for no real apparent reason. I get if it wasn't done on purpose, but try to keep everything consistent throughout your whole level. While vehicle usage was good, I felt like you used the UFO too much, so try to keep everything used a certain amount of times rather than having one vehicle used throughout the entirety of your level. Design - 7/33 This part hurts a little bit, but there is something good within this. You have some really nice effects throughout the level. My favorite tends to be the part with the clocks which looks really nice. Your artwork and effects really make the level look incredibly nice and add an inspiring feel to your level. However, what makes the effects not as good as they should be is everything else. Let's start off with the block design. The block design in your level isn't too great. It mixes things together that don't seem to work and it stands out as looking not too great. Now, I'm not saying that they can't work. The way to make them work is by creating some colors that work well with each other throughout the block designs. You could try using opacities, hues, saturations, or even blending throughout your block design. Try looking at the colors you have and working with them to get the end result. This level also lacks air decoration and ground decoration. These are two key elements in keeping up with the highest creators as of 2.11. Work on trying to add more of that. One way that I found really works is building a level made of just air decoration. Seriously, it works and try it out, your air decoration will be way better in future levels. The last little bit is that red area that causes lots of lag throughout the entire level, please fix that to improve the quality of this level. Originality - 11/34 Now, in originality, I don't ever claim a level as generic. To me, there is no such thing as a generic level, but there is such thing as an original level. This level has some originality in it. Where I think your original parts are located is throughout the gameplay elements. The gameplay is pretty good in this level and definitely has some features that I wish some creators would do more within their levels which would make some creator's levels way better with added gameplay. The unoriginal part is design. Your design is kind of outdated by this point. 2.11 seeks out glow, different effects, and color flashes. This level doesn't really provide any different effects from what I have seen before which makes this level look outdated. I'm not saying that outdated isn't a bad thing, but you are missing elements in this level that would make this more focused around 2.11 and those are the big areas that you need to work on. Final Score - 35/100 (Needs Improvement) Here is my suggestion. Do not come back and fix this level. That seems like a weird suggestion, but I have a reason for it. This level is a starting point for you. If you were to take everything that I gave to you and suggested to you to do, and work on it, you can see the improvements happen within your own creations. My philosophy is reworking your levels takes everything away from a creator and only makes them focused on one level and not trying out other things. Work on trying something new and different and keep working hard. It can only get better from here! Official Rating: 5 Stars (Hard) Good luck in future levels!
