Only one of them is completely sheltered. Also, one of the bushes is in front of a sizable which is weird.

It shall be fixed.

Quick update: I've decided to do about 40% linear and 60% non-linear. You see, you can do really cool levels that are completely linear. So Shady Ghyll and Snowdown Slowdown will both be 100% linear (no vertical movement, no backtracking, no secret paths.) The three other levels I'm working on- Panic at the Glassworks, Not Since the Accident and Drab Dry Desert of Backtracked Secrets will be non-linear.

More updates and screens coming soon, stay tuned!

New screen from Snowdown Slowdown. Work is slow but progressing.
The thin green vertical pipe moves up and down.

I'm really confused about the bush situation, but not bad otherwise.

...is that fence floating?

Thanks! Oh crap I keep forgetting not to make the fences float. Oops. I'll fix that pronto.

Also, about the bush situation- I put a toad at the beginning explaining that some things have been covered with ice and some haven't. It's weird, I know.

Snowdown Slowdown is complete! Here's the final screen:
Difficulty: Medium increasing to hard
Length: 3.5 minutes

It seems like in general you're a little spammy with the bushes.
Not bad otherwise.

It's true, I love BGOs a bit much. I'm planning on some pruning. Thanks for replying and for the feedback!

Anyhoo, here's another sneak peek:

That's probably the best looking screen yet! Maybe a little cramped and I don't quite understand the floating firebars, but other then that it's great!

The firebars rotate around the sunblocks, sometimes, and the cramped feel was what I was going for. Thanks again for all your support my friend!

I like the cramped feel sometimes because it provides a good and different challenge--as long as it isn't unfair (like placing a hammer bro in a two block high passage). Really looking forward to this level, the tileset is great. You should make a bonus world that includes a level similar to this, with a similar feel, that uses a moonsand tileset when/if you decide to make one. Keep up the great work.

I just gotta warn you, this level is pretty dang hard. I've been working on obstacle based traps instead of NPC based challenges so the NPCS are a bit sparse but it's still hard. And I like the idea of a moonsand level. Thanks for the support!

First beta is ready for testing! Come forward my beta testers out of the darkness! JK I know who y'all are. One sec.

I kinda feel like I'm monologuing because this project isn't getting much support. But whatever, y'all will love it when it comes out!
This is an old level I'm recycling.
Changelog updated.

Those frog NPC's are p funny.

The new screenie is looking nice. Tell me, is that tree a BGO, or a platform?

thanks for the support! It's a BGO.

If you need the help I could help with testing in the future as well as send you some levels if you want them.

I think I'm good right now but if I need levels you are the first person I will come to.

Speaking of which, Problematic Perils in the Sunsand Ruins is being overhauled. Yay!
