My best level
It's extreme-ish demon but I think the gameplay is very learnable and ok
So the past 3 levels I've submitted all got good rating. Hopefully this breaks the streak with feature worthy but like I don't really mind as long as it's rate worthy

Not willing to have good formatting this time; I apologize.
I mostly agree with Flash on this level, though I do have a few things to add. Mainly, what I agree with is that the level overall lacks polish. Some parts, like the first half of the drop (mainly the first quarter), can appear quite messy without much of a clear direction. Some of the block designs (not many but a few) are pretty much just premades, plus the way some blocks are structured (particularly the sections with long does of spikes hugging the ground like in the city part and the dual ball/wave without too many kill objects) look a bit awkward; kinda like they're missing something. I do, however, really like the atmosphere this level gives off. It's kinda difficult to describe in words, but it's very unique and the song helps with that a lot.
The block designs that aren't premades though actually look pretty good. I really like the ones in the first ship especially; they're really unique and have kind of a "fancy" style. I also like a lot of the backgrounds. They're mostly made of patterns of simple shapes, which helps them not stand out too much against the foregrounds. They also look pretty good on their own, for the most part, especially the city section.
While I don't really love most of the colors in this level, there's very few instances in which they really badly clash with each other. The red/blue parts would look a lot worse if they were different saturations or brightnesses, but you leveled them out pretty well, even if the colors themselves don't really look that good together. There are a couple exceptions though, like the city part. The background is really dark and the foreground is too bright imo; they kinda fight with each other for attention.
I think if the gameplay in this level is as good as Flash claims it is (I wouldn't be able to play this due to the difficulty so it's unfair for me to judge it), then I think this could definitely get rated and maybe even featured. I hope that ends up happening, for I believe it'd be a first for you, and I think you would deserve it would this. The only question now is whether this deserves a Good or Feature-Worthy. While I believe this could get rated for sure, I'm not completely confident on a feature. I think this would be high end Good if not Feature-Worthy, but either way, I'm really hoping for a rate on this. Nice work.

Review approved. I think either good or feature worthy could suit it well but I'm feeling a bit generous atm so I'll put it in feature worthy.

Nice work. @jy2000 Thanks a lot For the premade block designs I think I was too scared to hit the object limit (I was at like 39500) but I still agree I've always had a hard time with colors. When I make colors in levels I always have something in mind from someone that I forgot who, that if I make the colors too boring and monochromatic, it would look boring. I already knew, when I made the colors after I "finished" the level, that they looked kind of bad. Dragon also told me this in PM's I believe. I think I've changed the colors multiple times. Maybe upwards of 5 times reworking all of the colors. Still I don't really have a good grasp at how I could. The city part was me trying to copy the color scheme of that one picture I used for my guide, but I don't think that is a good idea anymore. Again thanks for the review. Not sure if I'll finish a level again in the near future but still thanks |
