I think he's actually a pretty good creator. If you look at his levels that aren't jokes. Joke Levels: Low Death: Just buffed High Life. HEard some people say this was fun, but I have never played it.
Hungry Humphrey: Insane graphics, but obviously was never meant to get rated. I love the graphics here though.
M A N I X: Got rated as a sort of "token of forgiveness" from RobTop after KrmaL got hacked. The visible version of this I found really fun, but I don't know how that keeps up with the invisible.
Don't Rate This Level: Somehow rated, I never understood why. This level is a parody of the highest degree, and it still got rated. I do have to say, it doesn't look terrible, just it doesn't look good.
Conical Depression: No way this is a serious level, it is literally an extended challenge. Some people have said this is one of the most fun extremes, but I don't really take that.
Invisible Deadlocked: Same situation with M A N I X. Deadlocked was also really fun, but from personal experience this wasn't the best.
Alive: Made by Sunnet/Galzo to help KrmaL get a rated level. KrmaL's only part was some straightfly at the end which of course isn't gonna be good.
These are all his joke levels that obviously aren't supposed to be taken seriously. Some people like bringing it up a little too much, but it's always important to know that these are jokes, not serious projects. You can't judge a creator based on the jokes they crack. Whether they're funny or not is subjective, the point is that they're not supposed to be taken seriously. Now let's look at his main projects. Main Projects: Rearmed: His first real project, Rearmed features some pretty nice design for it's time. I have not really learned/played this level except for the ending wave, but I can say that ending wave is so insanely satisfying to get off, and also pretty fun. The deco is phenomenal for it's time though, the effects during the drop is so good, and the predrops deco, while maybe basic, still look good to this day. My personal favorite part to look at is the green UFO, the colors match that decoration so well. Solid 8/10, if I was reviewing this on release I'd give it a 10/10.
Lit Fuse: After Rearmed, he made this masterpiece of a level. The effects in the first cube are so beautiful and match amazingly with the song. The ship drops a bit in quality, mostly because of how long the effect stays in for. The effect is still amazing, nonetheless. The dual has some weird gameplay from my experience, but the background looks holy hell amazing. Then we get to the drop, which is literally brilliant to even look at. I've played this part, and I would say that it's as fun to play as to look at. This is a huge step up from Rearmed, and I would say it's one of his best levels, which is huge because this was his real "freshman/sophomore" project. In my opinion, this gets a full 10/10.
Phobos: This is literally a verification project. Nothing to do with KrmaL, just acknowledging it's existence.
Heartbeat: A collab with LmAnubis (AncientAnubis) and Eternaswip (AirSwipe), it's hard to tell which parts KrmaL did and didn't do. I can safely judge the gameplay, and other than the wave (which probably wouldn't be all that bad on PC), this level is actually insanely fun. Never thought I'd be saying that about Heartbeat, but once you can manage to learn it, it's actually pretty fun. My favorite part is the UFO, I had so much fun learning it. I'm not gonna judge deco because I don't know what KrmaL did and didn't do, but if you wanted a score for this level, it's a 8/10. (unironically the song is one of my favorite songs KrmaL has used though lol)
Falling Up: Never really played this level, all I will say is that the drop is really fun, but the dual is really really bad. However, atmosphere in this level though is amazing. It feels like it's taking you through a story. Beginning in a city, taking you through the clouds, and finishing off with a rainbow. Without a doubt, KrmaL's best decoration. While the beginning may be seen as empty to some people, and city background cold maybe possibly be seen as ugly (if you're like really stretching it), everything after those parts look magnificent. The arrow effect at the first drop, the stormy thunder effects at the second drop, and the sunny, bright rainbows at the end are without a doubt some of the most insane situations of deco adding a story I have seen. Can't judge gameplay, but deco gets the biggest 10/10 from me.
Hi: A little lacking compared to his older levels, while the beginning is fine, I wouldn't say they're phenomenal by any sense. In my opinion, the drop is where this level really shines though. The wave is so so SO fun, and the effects paired along with it look amazing. The ball is also insanely fun, and looks so old, yet so amazing at the same time. The UFO has these really nice background effects, and is also a blast to play, nothing else though. The robot, while being the worst part of the drop, has some effects in the background that really compliment the song as a whole. Let's actually talk about the song. In my opinion, this song makes this level 10x better, because it fits the level so much. They could not have done a better job in song choice here. The end ship is the worst part, gameplay and deco wise though. Otherwise, it'd be a 10/10, but with the ship, it's at an 8/10.
Valor: (see Megacollab Parts)
Elite Z Rebirth: This is a rebirth of Elite Z, and I don't really know what to say about this level because it doesn't really say anything about KrmaL as a creator. I'll give it a decent 5/10 though.
Black Blizzard: This is his real masterpiece of a level. I love the aesthetic he put into this level. You still get that true KrmaL feel in the level too. The drop is where this level really shines. The beginning has some really nice pulses, and it sets an atmosphere for the second half. The second half of the drop is where this level really shines. The effects here look outstanding, and compliment the song really well. I've never played this level, so I can't judge gameplay, but it looks really fun. The ending really gives you that "blizzard" feel, which I LOVE. Easy 10/10 for me.
XO: KrmaL made this level as just a personal project, and I'm gonna assume he never really expected anything from people about this level. The deco is just the standard 1.0 stuff, with some pretty nice placements + effects during certain parts. Again, never played it, but this actually doesn't look the best to play. (sorry pigchefer) I do have to say, it looks better than a classic 1.0 type level. Not one of those insane effect layouts, but it's better than a layout. I'd give it a 6/10. Those were all his serious projects, but I do wanna talk about some megacollabs he participated in. Not all of them, but some. Keep in mind, I actually have not played like all of these, so take my gameplay stuff with a grain of salt. Megacollab Parts: Valor: One of KrmaL's first megacollab parts, you can definitely tell a bit of age. This also looks insanely unfun to play. The effect in this part I actually wouldn't say is all that bad though. The sync with the music is quite nice. I'd give this part a 6/10.
Cosmic Calamity: Actually, this I have played. Many, many, many times. The effects he put around the player is stunning. KrmaL has definitely some of the best pulse trigger use I have ever seen. The colors in here are magnificent too, and overall it looks amazing. The gameplay in this part is also really fun, with teh exception of the spam. The spam in this part is actually a little bit trash, but it gets a tiny bit consistent after a while. I'd give this part a nice 8/10.
Divergence: An old, unreleased megacollab from MrPPs, this part actually in my opinion, still holds to this day. Outdated? Maybe a little, but that doesn't stop this from looking amazing. The effect he has doing with the blocks looks so cool, I would love to see that done more in levels today. The gameplay looks a bit clunky at times, but I still love this. I'd give it a solid 8/10 from me.
Mystic: The gameplay here looks insanely fun to play, and in my opinion, this is KrmaL's most "appealing to the eye" gameplay. (update: after looking at the part, I notice that there's two names credited for the part, the other being dysfunctionalpopo, so I removed the deco part of this review. overall 9/10 though.)
Digital Descent: Is there anything I haven't already said about KrmaL? Amazing pulse trigger usage, good background effects, this is 100% his best megacollab part. The trigger orbs in the wave can be a little weird though. 10/10. Even his megacollab parts are all rounded out, I would say that his Divergence part is better than even whatever his part is in Heartbeat. tl;dr KrmaL is definitely a good, maybe excellent creator. Just don't look at his joke levels for all the work.

Imo the answer is yes. Krmals levels follow a formula if examined: Most start with a cube jumping over spikes And they have timings (XO Black blizzard, Hi, Reamed) Also his older levels still look good even today. Although i dont really like falling up, i think krmals awsome, although i cant beat anny of his levels.

Conical depression:0/10 Xo:2/10 Low death:0/10 Black blizzard:7/10 Falling up:8/10 Invisible deadlocked:0/10 Dont rate this level:0/10 Rearmed: 6/10 Heartbeat: 4/10 Lit fuse: 6/10 Hi:4/10 Hungry Humphrey: 3/10 Alive:1/10 So yeah KrmaL is the worst creator. Way Worse than Z3llink and chase Even by considering his 6 "good" levels he scores only 31/50 So still he sucks ass. And his joke levels are also ass. There are many good joke levels like pp. KrmaLs joke levels are bullshit and even a 9 yo can create better joke levels. Also love baba >>>>>conical depression drtl
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT HAS BEEN 5 YEARS SINCE HIS LAST GOOD LEVEL CAME OUT. So yeah. KrmaL loves crappy stuff and he is crap

I would say lit fuse is 5/10 So it becomes 40/140. Later i will rate Z3llink levels. He is also a garbage creators. I will soon make the shitty creator battle thread. And ill tag u if u want

alright let's get a few things out of the way:
conical depression, dont rate this level, and hungry humphrey are joke levels low death and invisible deadlocked aren't levels that were made by him (and neither are elite z rebirth, m a n i x, phobos, and valor, which you left out, also he worked on alive with another creator, more on that later)
so really, you just have this: xo 3/10 black blizzard 7/10 falling up 8/10 rearmed 6/10 heartbeat 4/10 lit fuse 5/10 hi 4/10 alive 1/10
I would go so far as to say that his part in alive could be considered a joke, but I will leave it in because the level as a whole was a serious effort. however, because krmal was one of two creators who worked on the level, I'll give him half credit for it, so he gets 0.5/5 instead of 1/10.
that produces a total of 37.5/75, or exactly 50%. (I'm not sure where somethingishere1o1 got his 33/60 from, I'm guessing he considered hi to be a joke level.)
