I love the concept, I mean, music?, really?
Aesthetically it's great and I love the gameplay too.

You can not beat me at hide and seek!

Overall, it's a good level, with beautiful graphics, although the pipe of the last section not is working.

It's a cool concept for sure and I'm not sure if that Darkonius NPC was an Easter Egg or not, but those are always a nice touch to levels. It's certainly good to see Bumpty's graphics being used once more, they were pretty popular back in the day. I'll definitely try this level out. Nice work and good luck in the vinesauce contest.

This level used Rayman graphic which was a very fun game from my you ger child hood. I found cut off at one of the slopes that goes 64 pixles right and 32 down. Also, there was a few jokes you did for the contest which was a nice touch. The note block spikes was also well done. Why did the Muisc rail not cause Mario to slide like it did to Rayman's first game? It was a good level with quite a few gimmicks such as Drums, flutes and other musical instruments!

6/10

Your review doesn't match this score.
At all.

Mechdragon just proved that pointing out positive stuff is obsolete.

I saw only one bug though? and one thing I did not like. It is a perfect level for me other wise? Are you saying I gave it a too low of a score based off of the review?

♫Concert Canyon♫ I'm just reviewing this particular level to piss Nickname off, really...

Aesthetics: 7/10

This level has a really unique design, combining instrumental elements with a canyon-themed level. I liked the graphics used, they worked nicely together and gave the level a western-ish atmosphere, which was also underlined by the music. I especially liked the flute pipes, the harp BGOs and the drum sizables. The BGOs didn't work that well with the ground gfx, as there always were small gaps between the ground and the BGOs, creating minimal cutoff, however that's only a really minor cosmetic error. I also sometimes felt that the level was a bit bland on some parts, which could maybe be fixed by adding cloud BGOs or maybe even fog. I was also disappointed over the lack of guitar BGOs :P

NPC Placement: 9/10

There was a perfectly balanced variety of NPCs and the placement was neat and fair, except for the fact that it wasn't completely obvious that the rainbow-colored notes were also going to hurt you, at first I mistook them for background objects :o
There was a good amount of coins and they were placed creatively, as well as evenly, across the level. The power-ups were placed in the right spots and made the level fair to play.

Gameplay & Design: 8/10

This level had a nice layout, making use of both dimensions by not only having the player go to the right, but also up and down on some parts. The drums were a neat little gimmick and in combination with the bouncing NPCs made for a really great effect. However, the hitbox of the drubs is a little displaced, which becomes obvious when a para-koopa is jumped on and it starts walking half a block above the drums. Otherwise, this was a great gimmick. I also liked the notes shooting out of the flutes because they made the player time their movements and made for a good challenge.

Overall, this was a really good level, it's nothing revolutionary, but it's definitely a nice play. 8/10, moved to Pretty Good.
