Splitting into gameplay and decoration...
Gameplay It is well elaborated considering a 4* level. Level syncs quite well, and shows variety, with a few flaws. Here are a few tips:
- 3%: Repeated switching gravity does not look so good. Either don't make this, or make it short. (2 clicks at most)
- 7%-11%: This part seems to be out of sync. Remember, sync the whole level. Don't leave out any bits that are off. - 30%: Quick ascends can make people panic and make unnecessary moves. Either give a safe zone, where inputs don't kill, or lowering the platform. - 43%: Player is not supposed to hold after the screen is pitch black. Give platform to prevent death.
- 63%: Although I can still see the red orb, beware with dimming. This can hinder readability and cause crashes. - 74%: Ditto, be careful. - 81%-83%: Seems to be a bit buggy. Plus, the same dimming issue. - 97%: Normally players will not jump to the logo after they get the heart, because there is a chance they can land on the spike. Therefore, putting the hidden orb there may not be that appropriate. If that's your design, fine. But if that's unintentional, you may want to consider about other players (who don't have full understanding of the level like you do) and fix the gameplay. - Triggers can be used in gameplay. Learn using the move trigger to diversify the gameplay.
Decoration It's quite nice! Details can be seen and effort is showed in the block and background deco. However, the use of colour is lacking. Apart from shapes, beats colour also matters in deco. Many levels change background and block colour to give variety, unless they are themed otherwise. (e.g. green for Nvidia, pink for JSAB, orange for Annoying Orange) Some more tips:
- 88%-97%: Set blocks to 'Don't Fade' so that they, er, don't fade. - You may want to add more air deco, e.g. saws and blades, stars, clouds, that sort of thing. I can see there are some, but look for places where it's a bit empty and add something to it.
Verdict I think this sits at high Decent. Maybe it would go up to low Good, but I think the gameplay is not quite good. Some background looks really nice, showing depth and detail. i recommend playing more epic level and learning from their deco skills. Deco should not be a big problem to you, so improve on gameplay, and putting more time and love to the level. Good luck!
