This looks like a relatively small project. That's a good thing, though! It looks really promising and focused on the story, which I find great! The worlds seem quite creative (excited for W6), and the world map and level screens look great! Keep it up!

Thanks for replying so fast

. I'm glad you're enjoying this. And yes, I am focusing on story very much but that doesn't mean my level design will be bad

. I'm trying to make it as original as I can.

Focusing on the story doesn't mean you don't focus on level design.
Good story and good level design are supreme together. You seem like you're doing both, it looks really good.
Just try to keep the purple mask at its original size, it looks weird imo

I know that :/ But the original size is covering his whole head, and I will use this later to the plot.

Don't worry! It may just look hard. In fact, this is the easiest before-boss level in the episode, so it can't be very challenging.

you mean... it can't
bee very challenging.
And this is looking pretty good, my only complaint based on the screen shots alone is that it looks a little haphazard in terms of enemy placement. That could feel different when actually playing it though, so I can't say for sure.

Anyway this project looks a lot better that your boss rushes and I hope you can finish it.

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

As I said - it only looks hard. I am quite sure it won't be very hard.

I'm not saying it looks hard, I'm saying it looks "thrown together" if that makes any sense. It doesn't look like enemies were placed to challenge the player, it looks like they were placed without any purpose or direction.

Could be a challenge for the player while he's climbing the fence

Oh, my bad there. I didn't understand it properly :/ Also, I tried to place it like it took place in hive, so the waps are flying kinda all over the place.

Hmmm... This may be a good idea. I'll try doing it.
