Thanks a lot bro ! Your support honestly means a lot to me. I'm still working on polishing Mushroom Meadows just finished the Underground section 100%, now I'm working on parallax, credits, and some visual tweaks. I haven't touched Athletic yet, but I'm giving each level my all. Can’t wait to hear your feedback once you play it I’m sure your thoughts will help me improve even more! .

i need acsess to download

[ShineBlaster]

Weren't you able to open it directly? If not, could you tell me what happened or what appeared when you tried to access it? I’ll try to fix it right away!.

[Shaktool]

google drive keeps telling me this is unacsessible. There is a blue button up in the file, and choose "anyone with this link can acsess"

[ShineBlaster]

The download issue has been fixed! Everyone can now access the demo .

overall this is a pretty fun level, but i do have some questions. I liked the SMB1 Styled level scheme and using only goombas, koopa troopas, piranha plants, and hammer bros, but in the underground section, there isnt really much stations where you can regenerate a powerup. I'd recommend putting them everywhere when there is a challange the player needs the powerup to pogress. Also, in the first challenge in the underground section, i kinda struggled with the red piranha plants so i opted to cheat my way through.

The sky section, while i liked it, was way too difficult; even for a first level in your pack. I'd say remove the volcano plants and keep the hammer bros; that way its balanced without it being way too hard. Also, why is the fire flower and ice flower not acsessible to the player in that section? its like if its taunting you. Also enemies kinda blend with the foreground but it could be that i am sick and i cant pay really much attention.

Overall, it is a really good and first installment for more to come! i cant wait to see what you can bring up the table next level.

Thanks a lot for your honest feedback, I really appreciate it .
Just wanted to clear up a few things:
– In the underground section, honestly, I placed a bunch of Walljump Mushrooms… but looks like I hid them so well you didn’t even notice them
– As for the sky section… yeah, you saw the Fire and Ice Flowers? Well, in your dreams you’ll get them – I purposely locked them up
-- Same goes for the 1-Up and Walljump Mushroom at the end they’re jailed for life, no chance for parole.
And to be honest, I did all of this on purpose just to see you all rage while I sit back and laugh
But don’t worry Patch V1.1 is coming soon with some adjustments to ease your suffering a bit
Thanks again, and stay tuned for more!

What the hell is a "Dream"? is that the new name for a fortnite season or something?

jokes aside, this is seriously bad level design. If you say that this is some normal level you made and on some of it some powerups that taunt you for never getting them might probably cause some really bad reviews on you. And to say that people are suffering, it might not be that painful for me, but trust me, i faced some hard levels in the past. Also, you know people can cheat, right?

So, here's what I want to say:

I appreciate your words, and I apologize for what I said earlier especially since this is a forum. Also, you were a bit harsh with me. This is just a new experience I'm trying out, and I know I can still improve myself in the future.

As for the cheating, I honestly consider it a normal thing it doesn't bother me. Also, you misunderstood my sarcasm. I meant it while *playing* the level, not by editing it in PGE Editor or anything like that.

And if you didn't like the level, you can delete it or do whatever you want with it this is just the beginning. I’ll be releasing the new patch very soon.

I did understand the sarcasm, but saying that its harsh is highly an understatement. I was only trying to give advice, not to shit on you pogressively. I did like the level (evidence supported by the review). I think i didnt make myself too clear

I understand you, and yes, I was wrong .
I am Sorry Bro But Next time, I will be more careful with my words and responses, and I will correct all the mistakes I made especially the sarcasm I used earlier.

Also, on another note, why is there a "Nouveau dossier" (New folder in french so i assume your PC Default language is french) and it has what seems to be levelws without anything in the folders at all. Whats with those?

I like SMB1-styled levels, so this is amazing! Keep it up bro!

Those folders are actually for ideas I might design someday. I just placed them there so I don't forget about them later.
But thanks for pointing it out, I appreciate your attention to detail !

There is a new update for ShineBlaster's Custom Levels - Patch 0.1.1!
Note: Please make sure to delete the old version to avoid any mix-ups, as I mistakenly left some extra files in there.

I’ve cleaned the folder properly this time, and the new download link is already above.
