You don't post very much progress really do you?

It looks like all you did was finish the first level

i meant right now, there's more levels to come.

as evidenced by the yellow pool level at the top of the map screenshot being the ocean level.

speaking of which there should be 3 fake levels and 2 real levels before the ocean one.

Your levels all look very bland, boring, and rectangular. I'd suggest playing some other episodes so that you have an idea of what good level design looks like as you need some more BGOs, NPC, and better terrain shape imo

may i suggest PLAYING the levels and not just looking at the screenshots.

I don't have time but can still give reasonable feedback based on the screenshots that you should take into consideration

i've acutally made all the levels longer then the screenshots.

That's not the point. What's in the screens is also the basis for what the rest of the levels are like.

Exactly. If you've chosen to take a screenshot of that part of the level there's a good chance that the whole level mirrors that design style

i just take screenshots of the first parts of the levels.
(well in the underground level it's the first part of the second area.)

Either way you should take my feedback into consideration. When a player enters a level they should at least not be appalled by the first screen. You need to leave a good first impression on the player when they enter the level as the beginning often dictates the quality of the rest of the level (and sometimes the beginning turns out to be the best part as the quality downspirals with the creator getting more and more bored as the level goes on).

In the end I can't force you to consider my feedback but I'm not going to continue this nonsense now

Take a chill pill man. You don't need to get uptight because someone criticized your work. That kind of thing happens a lot on this forum, so it's best to get used to it. It's not like Pixelpest said your screenshots were bad WITHOUT providing suggestion to make them better. Also Stop the double/triple/quad-posting, as it's against the rules.

Also just one more piece of advice regarding your world map: don't make your paths so long, especially the one up to the water level and the one to the airship. People want to play your levels, not just spend a long time wandering around your map

I remember that you posted the underground level at the beginning of this month.

Seeing this screen again tells me, that you didn't change anything after that and just posted the exact same one.

It's probably the exact same 10 seconds level and if every level is like this then this episode will be really short. Not to mention that the bgos and wood block look out of place anyway.
