Unofficial Review of Pear tree snowland by Pixelpest
Gameplay (75% of the score):
Although I absolutely adore the pear gimmick. especially in combination with the snowy theme
there are some spots where the gimmick is executed rather poorly
For example here
If you fail to do this in 1 try (because one of the 2 pears fell down, there is no way to pass that part
because by then the paratroopa allready commited suicide and the pears don't regenerate
forcing you to kill yourself.
this could be easily fixed however by either making the pears generators or by adding another note block
The placement of the bill blasters was good aswell as the rest of the npc-placement
(except for the suiciding paratroopa near the exit)
I didnt have problems with the easy 1-ups because it was for a christmas episode.
and they are usually not that hard
If i were you i would place some more secret stuff next time
(but this isn't neccesary, so i am not taking points for this)
Gameplay score 5.5/10
Athmosphere and graphics (25% of the score):
The Athmosphere is just STUNNING
I absolutely love the pear tree graphics
and although there was some stylemixing, none of it clashed
the music (Dire Dire Rocks) fits the level amazingly aswell as the background
there wasn't any cutoff, which is a good thing
The one thing which is rather bad is (IMO) the vases as pipes
you should have used regular pipes there (its just an opinion though)
Athmosphere score: 9.0/10
Overall score: 6.4/10
