This is a new thing I'm starting.
I was bored and wanted to be fancy, okay?!?

Alright, so here's a level I once kicked into the 6th place of a Tower of Bias. It's one of my favourites I've ever created aswell.

really good looking level there. i love the tileset and the clouds fit very well and give the level a total feeling that it's about to storm. great job!

I remember this level , he's awesome.
beyond the theme be very agreeable , has a non-linear design. The graphics are perfect, everything matched perfectly , just an opinion: the level has a gray tone, recommend recolor the Koopas, the music is perfect, I enjoyed it. My only complaint is that the level is too long, and the "system switch" is a bit generic, currencies in motion are very unique! Very Nice

I knew I forgot something while designing :PPPP

what's your definition of that? There's only one path to follow to get to the exit.

it's called creating atmosphere

Shinbison-Kof wrote:My only complaint is that the level is too long

yes, I tend to do that. Got a solution for that though for my next ToB level

Shinbison-Kof wrote:and the "system switch" is a bit generic

I'm over that phase. I think this is the last level I'll submit which has all 4 switches used in such a generic way.

I meant that the design is large, with several paths , in other words, is "excellent"
Sorry my bad english. T-T

My own playthrough:

now i feel stupid for taking a screen instead of posting my video which is 2 minutes shorter than yours and which I took 1 year ago xD

Awesome! I loved the music and how everything looked together, It was Perfect, Nice work.

Going to bump this. I'd review the level but the download link seems to be broken. If you could upload a new one and send it to me via PM, I'll gladly review this level.

Nice to see a judge actually judging levels for once.
I'll upload a mediafire link when I get back from school. Considering I'm going to school in 20 minutes, this might take up to 10 hours.

I'm actually going to sleep in about 20 minutes anyway, so it wouldn't make a difference to me. :P

g I'm done with life for today. Here's the link

it's also in the OP for anyone who cares.

Review: Spike's Gardens

Overall Design/Gameplay: A well constructed level. The setting you have is unique and interesting, along with the various types of enemies. But, this level seems too lengthy. I feel like you overused the switch gimmick, even though you made the circumstances for finding/locating the switches different. Enemy placement was good, however. Your music choice was interesting as well. But, in terms of level designing, some parts felt repetitive. But still, not a bad job with this.

Suggestions/Improvements: I think you need to keep the switch gimmick for the first half and come up with a different gimmick for the second half (i.e. have a friendly spike who needs to locate his golden spike balls and then collect all of them so he can give you a star). I also believe you need to shorten the level somewhat, just so there can be added replay value rather than having the player think it's a drag to complete your level the first time around.

Final Score: 8/10
Level Status: Pretty Good
