The Rainbow Factory creepypasta is an MLP creepypasta that revolves around killing pegasi and draining them of their colors for rainbows. I took my time and made a level related to the creepypasta for a YouTuber named "MrDragonboy96" who is a brony. I am not a brony myself, but I appreciate his content, so I made this level originally for him. I added MarioBrotherL1UP, who is another YouTuber, into the second version of the level as another playable character because he played the first version of the level in his Halloween livestream on YouTube Gaming. I'm going to post both versions of the level that are out for now, and this level will be updated a bit and I will post each update. (BTW, this is a level from my fangame for MrDragonboy96 called "MrDragonboy96's Adventure" that will be updated a bit to be better. I know that two thirds of the factory are my own, and that the last section is copying the level by MrDragonboy96, but I asked him in a DM if he minded, and he doesn't. All criticism is appreciated though!)

It seems to mostly just poor level design rooted in the sole focus on bloody graphics that don't mix very well together with the extensive variety of graphical styles used throughout the level. It's not even that creepy; the atmosphere isn't developed well

Looking at the screenshots, it seems almost identical to something MrDragonboy96 would make, so it's clearly inspired by his work! I'm not trying to be mean, but the horribly clashing and 1x1 pixel filled graphics, the bland level design along with the "Trying so hard to be spooky but failing miserably" atmosphere makes it seem almost like you straight up copied his design style! Also, there's also the fact that MrDragonboy already made a Rainbow Factory level before this. But, well, to be honest, I've not actually played the level, but I've seen plenty of MrDragonboy's levels to know where this is going!

Yes, MrDragonboy96 made a Rainbow Factory level, and he has said before that he will remake his own level, but my own Rainbow Factory level is actually from my episode "MrDragonboy96's Adventure", where this Rainbow Factory is combined with the previous one MrDragonboy96 made. I mainly used graphics MrDragonboy96 used in the past to just give it more of the "something cliche you would exist by now in these levels" atmosphere. Also, having a creepy atmosphere in this level is less what I was going for, and that's why it's so poorly done. I focused more on the level design and difficulty, which I don't normally do in my other levels. I don't mind what anybody thinks about this level, I'm just posting this on here because I felt like putting it here basically as a "sneak peak" for what MrDragonboy96's Adventure will sorta be like difficulty-wise later on. But any criticism is appreciated, and I won't get mad at anyone for having an opinion.
(btw, please play the level, because the level is not JUST about creepiness, and it's more about difficulty and skill. Speedrunning this level is VERY recommended)

I was originally going to play the level for the sake of giving critisism, but I wasn't really caught due to the graphics, and the level seemed really bland from the screenshots, so I decided not to! Also, what do you mean with a "Something cliche you would exist by now in these levels"?

I meant to say that I didn't give much thought to the graphic design, and I just shoved "spooky" graphics on there to give it the "creepy" feel, and it was rushed. The level design and difficulty was more of what I was aiming for. If you don't want to play the level, that's fine! I also kinda rushed the screenshots too, so maybe that's part of my downfall.

Okay, I've decided that I'm going to make a new level with a LOT more effort put into it than I did in this. I'll also try and make ACTUALLY creepy graphics to go along with the level that WILL take me longer to make than this. I experimented a bit with this level, and I'm going to actually try my VERY best with the newer level. Your criticism is important to me, and off I go to actually put effort into something. (I did put effort into the original one, but it seems like I didn't put enough into it)
