1 out of 10
Hn. I hate being rude, but Izturo, it really feels like you release the same exact thing every time you post a level up. Seriously, I really have nothing new to say about this one either and really it's frustrating because this seems to be another sign of you being unwilling to improve... oh well, I'll just give the list of issues with this now:
~ This level is too long for what it is. All you do is ump over enemies for a couple minutes until the end.
~ Overall design isn't terrible but bland, mostly flat, and uninspired.
~ Level feels and looks empty, does not present it's setting to it's fullest and scenery is below average at best.
~ Level doesn't feel fun or different at all.
~ NPC placement feels exactly the same and static.
~ Large patches of the level really have little going on and really kills off appeal.
That's it. Pretty much everything wrong with this level right here and I've explained it at least twice before. ~
Scenery/Music:
1.5 out of 10 {.5Pts Scenery | 1Pts Music}
Scenery usage is there, but is also quite poorly done. I don't get the impression of a place really snowy, maybe a place where a half-inch fell the other night and some melted away or something, but as far as a snow level could look, it's really shallow and unappealing.
The SMW music absolutely does not fit with this level. This is where I would recommend custom music. ~
Conclusion:
2.5 out of 20Pts {1Pts Overall {Rounded from 1.25}}
