Worry not! I am alive and so is this project!

I have completed levels 2-1 and 2-3. I am waiting for 2-2 from user
Dersen! He owes special thanks from me. But while he is making it I will present you some new screenshots from 2-1 and 2-3.

Yes, I dare infiltrate your ship!
Anyway new screens are looking pretty good! Just one thing: those cacti plants look a bit weird, consider using custom cactus BGOs.
Edit: what version is this for?

It is for 1.3/1.3.0.1.
And these cacti plants are supposed to look like normal cactuses. Usually in levels they are just straight lines and it never made any sense for me, so I made them cactus-shaped.

You should use custom BGOs as some of the cati look like they are floating.

And now... Ladies and Gentelmen!
World 2 is completed! Levels from 2-4 to 2-7 were done really fast

But I think they are still as good as those that were made within days

. In these screens we can see W2 map and lvl 2-6 outside and inside. I won't be uploading any boss screens because they are full of spoilers

Moving on to W3 now!

The levels looks good, but in the 1st and 2nd screenshot, SMB1 tilesets and background, SMB3 and SMB2 Enemies, and SMW Lava and Coins don't fit together in my opinion. And the SMB3 Wood Platform in the SMW styled level is kinda overused, you can like replace it with the SMW Wood Platform gfx. But you did good!

Woah, when I look at it now, I see how big that clash is! I'll fix that. Thanks for that feedback

LFftMK inspiration ... make sure to keep the fairy sequence to a minimum. There was a level at the very end of LFftMK which only consisted of moving around as a fairy, with no checkpoint even, that was tedious and annoying.

Don't worry! The fairy is only 1/5 of the level... Also... What is LFftMK?
