Entry 1: Raf Plant
I love the music! It's so suiting for this level and I enjoy it! The power ups in the beginning are deceiving because I initially thought they were bad to touch. This is a pretty hard course, and it really requires quite a bit of trial and error to do. It's fast pace and really gets you panicking when your in a tough spot. There's little room for error in this where you must always stay closer to the right side otherwise you'll trap yourself and get killed. The ending of this level is mad hard too, and there's no additional power up besides the needless one at the very end (the level's done so it won't help much) and the two in the very beginning. The level did seem a little short too, but I guess in a way it's like a level in Geometry Dash where you'll be playing it multiple times just to beat it. In the end you collect your star of David and you end the stage. Overall the stage looked great with its graphics and the music was fitting, but it still needs plenty of work. If the difficulty was changed as well as having the level be given another concept or length, then I'd rate it higher.
4.5/10
Entry 2: Electrical Enchanted
Okay I open the level to hear another awesome song I'm unfamiliar with! The level has some really unique graphics to it, and some interesting new enemies too. I would've like the rupee graphics to be the same as the new coin graphics too. The concept with the arrows is brilliant and really fun! There are a couple sections with arrows that really require too much precision to avoid dying or getting hurt. It's pretty difficult, and I did wish that I was given a sign that told me how to work the arrows beforehand. The fairy section was a good touch too. I wish the electricity wasn't a one hit kill either; I found it extremely frustrating every time I poorly timed a jump or something and the electricity will just kill me for it. I think hurting the player would've been better, but I saw this replaced the lava blocks so..... I find the boss interesting, but it seems overwhelming having propeller blocks, bombs, mushrooms, all flying around with this guy dancing around trying to kill you too. I understand the intent of this level, and it's very good looking too, but I think the timing and precision required in some parts needs to be fixed.
7/10
Entry 3: Invador of Mr. Nice Koopa King's Factory
Funny name..... I like it. So I'm introduced to the music here, and I just never enjoyed this metroid song; I know the purpose is to have tension and such, but I just get bored when I hear it. It still suits the level so that's fine. I honestly like having humor in levels too. I don't think having some laughs and funny dialogue in an episode or level necessarily makes it a joke level/episode; it brings them more to life by giving things more personality, and that's a good thing. The level did seem pretty short, but I find the backtracking pretty interesting, especially with the added changes with each appearance. I wasn't a fan of the Larry boss fight, and I was hoping for an actual robotic boss (Larry is my favorite koopaling though). But anyway the bosses were just difficult by being in a small space. The rinkas were kinda abused too. I found it frustrating when I was waiting for some platforms when I'm dancing around the rings flying at me. Props for the story too, and I expect you'd make some pretty great and hilarious stories on your future levels/projects. This level could've been more fun in the platforming and boss fights, but it was still not bad. I appreciate the heads up on informing us of what characters work best too. That saves us a lot of time.
5.5/10
Entry 4: Plasma Factory
Nice music yet again for a factory level. The third level in a row (entries 2, 3, and 4) to use slightly similar graphics, and that's okay. No points off for that. I wouldn't have minded your small storage section having more... storage in it, not necessarily more power ups, but just bgos or blocks to make it feel more like it's a storage section. I wasn't a fan of the huge drop off either considering leap of faiths are not always the best thing to have, especially when you have no idea if you missed something to activate more platforms or what not. You also abused rinkas somewhat, and there were quite a few concepts that seemed puked onto this level too. I think this level would be much better if it were longer, solidified its concepts more, and have the boss not be so overly aggressive. I find that so annoying with bosses if I can't even get a chance to run away without being jumped all over the place. It took me quite a few tries to actually beat this boss, and I shouldn't be relieved like that. I like how it'll go after you, but I should at least not be nailed in a cheap manner either. I wish the level really had more of an identity of what it is besides the tough boss fight at the end.
3/10
Entry 5: Witchking fabriek
Unexpected music, but I like it as well. The graphics look appealing, and it's another different layout. I appreciate having the electrical water not kill you right away (even though realistically it would, but I'm agreeing it shouldn't kill you for this level. I got the first star without Luna Lua which was nice, and I assume the arrow platforms are a Luna Lua effect too. I love the concept of using Tanooki suits to prevent damage in the water. I wanted to do something similar to make sort of stealth level, so props to you for finding a creative use for that power up. I love this level a lot, especially for making a trek through water suspenseful and exciting. I like when people really push some concepts together, and this was utter brilliance. There were a couple parts that were too difficult to navigate through, but I still managed to get through unscathed, so maybe it's not as bad as I'm thinking for the standard player. It's funny how you have to really work for that checkpoint too by the way. The very end just surprised me for some reason. I didn't expect the flag animation to actually work, but it did. I thought this was a great level, and I enjoyed practically all of it. Great work!
8.5/10
Overall great job everybody. Music was executed in everyone's levels pretty well, and it was nice to have you all participate. I expect great things from all of you in the future.

MECHDRAGON777's scores Featuring Ludwig Von Koopa
Entry 1
This was a decent and fun level, but the auto scroll was a bit to fast.
Ludwig von Koopa: 7.4
MECHDRAGON777: 7.9
Entry 2
This was a very fun level that used lightning as lava, which is a no! On the other side, the Red blocks over jelectros was a nice touch.
Grammar is the only issue!
Ludwig von Koopa: 8.3
MECHDRAGON777: 7.9375
Entry 3
This level was quite boring for me since it haves you going through Bowser's Bomb factory and explains the story of why he always captures Peach. The going through all of the sections the second time was a nice touch though, even if it does feel unfinished.
Ludwig von Koopa: 6.7
MECHDRAGON777: 6.125
Entry 4
This level was not pleasant at all and reaks of cutoff, blind jumps, and unfinishedness. I did not enjoy this at all.
Ludwig von Koopa: 4
MECHDRAGON777: -5

Spoiler: show
Entry 1:
Negative things:
The graphics are weird and ugly, but they fit. No points lost for graphics.
The zigzag graphics in the first section look like they should be enemies.
The thwomps are cool, but very hard to see.
The yellow lava clashes, it’s a different style.
The pink dropping enemies it’s unclear if they can be jumped or spin jumped on.
Not a lot of NPCs, the BGOs feel a bit sparse this level is a bit spare in general.
Three thwomps in a row in one area and nothing else.
What are the random pink things in the sky? Can they hurt me? Are they solid? Everything
here is so confusing!
Not enough coins.
Positive things:
The NPC/powerup ratio is decent.
The level clearly shows some thought with the timing of everything.
It’s a bit short and sparse, but fun to play.
The challenge curve is just about right, although it is short.
Autoscrolling is fun and this level has some unique gimmicks things dropping from the sky,
etc.
TOTAL: 6.5/10
Entry 2:
Positive Things:
This level is BEAUTIFUL.
The warning before the electric strikes is a cool idea and .
The electricity in general is a cool idea and well executed.
Good powerup/NPC ratio.
The boss fight is quite fun.
The whole level is genuinely fun to play.
No cutoff.
A good amount of coins.
Negative things:
The vertical bullet bills are hard to see and of a different style.
A bit linear in the first section.
A bit long and confusing in parts.
There’s really not much bad to say about this level, and not too much good either. It’s a well
made good looking level TOTAL SCORE: 8/10.
Entry 3:
Negative things:
All the default graphics don’t look that great with the CGFX.
The BGOs do look like blocks and putting up a sign doesn’t fix that problem.
Unfairly difficult in a couple places, but not a huge concern since I’m not the best player. No
points lost.
In the first section, running with the Red Koopa shell can cause you to die from the
Paragoombas.
Between the first two bullet blasters, the jump is almost impossible due to a Paragoomba.
Clashing springboards.
Two mushrooms and a midpoint? Why?
Final boss fight is a bit boring, but funly hard.
Positive things:
The end of the first section is cleverly designed for sure.
The timing of the events is creative and fun.
Boom Boom fight is quite fun.
Koopaling fight is fun, but a bit cliche.
Interesting ideas, including going to the same section twice (with small changes.)
Overall a fun level with some cliche elements that could use better graphics.
7/10
Entry 4:
Flat, linear, and boring. It’s not a BAD level, it’s just not the most fun out of these entries.
The CGFX look nice, and everything fits together, but it’s just boring. It looks like one of my
levels, and that’s not a good thing. The music block jumps are annoying and feel like a lazy
substitution for good design. 5/10.
