Even with this level's flaws, why did you not submit this to CC12? (Deadline being tomorrow and all)

My Review:

Atmosphere [4/5]
This is literally the only issue I had with the level: where the fuck am I? Am I in ruins, in space, on some asteroid and why is it full of sand? While pretty damn cool...I was constantly curious as to how all of this can co-exist together in such a weird place.

Level Design [4/5]
Pretty spot on, although I could do without the artificial extensions: such as that red switch block. Your level played a lot on level extensions but it also made it immersive and funny to watch. All in all, this if one of the levels that can take the concept of artificial extensions and use it wisely. The usage of various elements, such as the propeller block, managed to keep such a simplistic design style original up to the very end of the level. Like I honestly didn't except a small little muncher run with a kuribo shoe at the end of the level, very cute.

Check you pipe usage btw. In section 5 you can get stuck trying to exit if you don't do a running jump. Also, I won't dock points for it, but I am hearing multiple complaints on the lava lotuses used in this section.

In section 1, right before the pipe with Warp 6, you can glitch right through the wall and get stuck. I won't dock points off, but change this before someone other than me gives a crap.

Graphical Continuity [4/5]
While this level doesn't make much sense, at least it was consistent. I also like the usage of sand in a few side sections was a lovely touch, as I noticed you were meticulous as to what was fore-ground and background in each section it was used.
Section 5's BG doesnt exactly fit with the desert theme you chose here. For a cave BG recolored to be brown isnt exactly the most fitting graphic you could've chosen.

BGO Placement [5/5]
No issues. Any comments were displayed in "Graphical Continuity."

NPC Placement [5/5]
While I would've like the rolling bombs to have been used in a cool fashion, I can say I can dock any points off in this field whatsoever. Kudos.

Difficulty / Replayability [5/5]
I can easily say that if I wasn't a lazy bastard I would certainly play this level again. Curious though, was this expected to appear in a contest or episode, or is it simply just because you got bored?

Overall Score: 27/30
Final Score: 9/10
Judgement: The Best

Ok since wraith wrote his review, I might as well write mine since it's unofficial. Anyway.....

PROX's Unofficial Review:

Thanks @as303298 and @PROX for the nice reviews, I not expected this "in the best".
I'll fix all errors cited, especially in the section 5, I know this part isn't necessary to be hard, also the parts in the tileset that is possible cause glitch ( especially in the first section).

@MECHDRAGON777, well I don't used this level in the contest because Firelink helped me in some parts. This level is especially for the episode.

Dude I know several people who sent their levels to each other and critiqued each other, sometimes even edit something for them.

If everyone was completely honest in this contest, the best levels wouldn't be at their full potential. Many times you need outside opinions and help to make your level the best it can be.

It's true! This level was make especially for my episode, Firelink helped me because I thought would be a nice idea, but in the contest this is different, I think is against rules two participants make 1 level. But if someone say some ideas and other things isn't a problem, I guess.

Technically the rule only applies if you people placed the blocks. Assembling the graphics, brainstorming and bug fixing isn't tied to that rule. So...you had a chance
