Looks good but, why the screenshots have black background? That's very particular

Artistic direction, I wanted to push myself as an editor by going completely out of my comfort zone in terms of level design, something which I have unfortunately restrained myself from doing in my previous episodes.

I actually like how you made it all with black background. Screenshots look good as well. Is that your last episode, Knux?

So... Does "X" mean 10?
Also,I still think The Great Empire 4 world be a better title to show The Great Empire series is yours.

I don't think X means 10 here. Lets be honest, X always looks cool.

If it meant 10 then Knux got to make The Great Empire 10 before superbird111.

That's it."X" is not a real number and so I think he should call it TGE 4 since it would show his TGE4 is not real.

I played this for an hour and then i realized this episode is too hard for me, i couldn't even mange to beat a single level so i just gave up. I think the gimmicks are cool but the levels are just way too hard for me to play. I would however watch lets plays of other people on the episode because i am curious on how would they beat the levels.

Dude, did you made this episode with inspiration from that one difficult SMB 1 ROM Hack*?!? If so, were you trying to punish the fans of the bootleg sequels of TGE series? I do like this idea of punishing the superbird fanboys. ^_^"

So The Great Empire X (makes it sound like it is the tenth installment rather than the fourth) looks to be a kaizo episode. Do you even plan on making an episode in 2.0 once it is further in development.

i was influenced by that, a partially-lost Japanese SMBX episode, a SM64 rom hack that is also very difficult, and depression
