The slope corner's dirt colors look a bit lighter than the normal dirt, it's odd.

What a charming first level. It has some nice touches like the clouds appearing in the beginning, as well as varying areas and challenges.
The custom graphics you included do more harm than good, though. They're incredibly bright against anything else in the level and aren't shaded at all. I think the level would be much more pleasing if you used the vanilla assets instead.
You also seem to have forgotten to include any custom music files. Half the level was silent.
Lastly, I got pretty confused when I got to the door but couldn't enter it. Turns out you stepped into a bug with PGE. Warp entrance direction works for pipes, as well as for doors! You have to hit down to enter this door, while normally you enter doors by pressing "up". To fix this, select the warps, turn them into pipe warps and change the entrance direction to the up arrow. It's pretty awkward, I know.

Hope to be seeing more from you in the future!

Thanks for the comment, Enji! Yes, i know there's not custom music in half level. I forgot to add that after i realeased it. I added the music after that. So, i don't have time now, maybe i will fix that tomorrow.
P.S: Also, i made some of the graphics with my cousin of 7 years old. I made the blocks with him. Specially the grass.
P.P.S I didn't use PGE! I used the normal SMBX editor

Try adding some shading or less vibrant colours in your custom graphics.

What did you smoke? GFXs are so toxic.

This level was poorly made. There's a lot of problems.
- The custom graphics were done poorly.
- Enemy spam in the level.
- The sign says "choose between two paths" is misleading, as there's only one path. You should remove that sign, and make Cloudcity a bonus area.
- Default yellow switch blocks.
- The other switch blocks are redundant.
- Cheep-cheep AI should be "swim left/right" instead of "swim".
- Lots of cutoff. For example:

A quick edit.

Overall there isn't anything good about the level, but this is your first level and you can improve.
