I would recolor them much more black, since I couldn't tell the difference between fake ones or real ones.
I might watch the video for help, but no promises that I am able to get a review in.

Sadly no, adding sounds like that would be far too time consuming and would require me to force players to alter ingame sound files.

I am shocked that you of all people would find this unbeatable. The level's theme was a mix of Ghost and Ship, so it was designed to deceive. I had recolored versions of those BGOs, but I hated any type of recolor that was implemented. I preferred the level to fake the player, but it is in no way unbeatable. My style deals more on making the player think and pay attention to their surroundings, rather than give them a clear-cut path. The fact you made it into the ship itself shows you are familiar with my method of faking the player. My hint, look for those same broken airship parts to proceed.

Wait no longer, as303298. I'm bumping this topic to inform you that I am going to be reviewing this level among others tonight. Lets see what comes of it.

Was that extremely necessary? You could have left them as-is instead of deleting half a thread because you gave an awful review. You should have gone into the level judging job knowing what you were doing instead of just winging it.

GhostHawk gave me the go ahead. I'm not winging anything. Stop bringing your drama onto the board. Anyways, I did manage to finish the level this time, so we will have a better review.

Graphics: 6/10

So, I actually had to replace the start location to the proper spot, with that I got to see the other bit of graphics I didn't get to see. I like how smooth the background outside flows with the reefing. The rest of the ship, however the same.. I still found it a bit confusing, however not as much, since I was able to properly go through it.

Enemies/Placement: 6/10

Since I was able to finish the level and look at everything properly this time, I still don't nessecerily agree with the koopas fitting in with the theme of the level, the lotuses were tricky, but didn't feel right either... though I guess I got over that as it was fun to dodge the lava bits, and gave a bit of difficulty. The thwomp in the same room is still misplaced, I think you could move it an inch over to the right and it would be better. The boss was something different, I have to say I wasn't expecting it to be so easy. Perhaps you could try to add a bit more difficulty on that.

Style/Aesthetics: 5/10

I'm still confused a little bit on this. As well, I thought the level was too square. Perhaps adding more slopes would fix that up. Other than that, I liked the level thoroughly and thought it was quite interesting. However parts of the ship, like that bomb on the first room didn't make sense and wasn't really needed. Other than that, good job.

Items/.etc: 8/10

I actually came to like your item placement for the level. You spread the items quite nicely, however the free 1up was kind of off putting, considering 1ups shouldn't usually be handed out for free unless hidden. As well some of the Mushrooms that just floated through the level were kinda weird, however the items otherwise were really good.

Overall: 6.25/10

Well, the fact that I actually beat the level helps so I got to grasp the entire feel for the level, which made it all the more better. I can say this level deserves the rating it has now, I apologize for the earlier review. I actually came to like the level, the idea was cool. I loved the music, it was catchy. The boss was unique as well, however could be harder. Well done. Lets see more levels from you, shall we?

Fixed Video ID. What you only need for a Video ID is this:

The "&feature=youtu.be" what you added up there is not necessary. If you add it by accident you pretty much have to remove it in order to make that Video work prober on your message.

I already added my own playthrough of this Level.

Well Ill give a fixed version later today.
