Visually, this is the weirdest level ever, in a good way. I really like how you executed the neon feel, and it makes the level feel much more alive. However, I think you should add a background of some sort. Maybe make it have only neon colors. Otherwise, keep it up, I love little levels like these where it's digital or inverted or just plain neon.

Well, I am posting my existed review here, even know you probably already readed them:

Oh man, this was an awesome Level. We are inside a Neon World in the Dark with nice Sceneries to look at. There are multiple Switches in the multiple Sections which is what I like because there are different Obstacles on your way and it was fun due to having enough Power Ups and even secrets. It really was a very good Level. A few of the places could be a bit narrow but that isn't all that problematic. After the Midway you pretty much have to follow the platforms slowly which is nice and at least it isn't all that long. Music was very nice and fitting but a bit lack of Coins.

Point rating: 9.195

looks neat, the screenshots make it look really pretty (red and black are my fave color *wink wink*) so from a starting glance, someone can say: wow!
the only thing is that there isnt too much scenery, so that makes it be knocked down a level :/
so, i'd say and even 8/10 from a screenshot glance, gonna be playing it

EDIT:

i played it and its really fun! 3 mini challenges,
2 epic songs and the final challenge was challenging (LAUL) and it was fun too!
the graphic style is simple yet it makes the mood happy too.
the level design is more like a castle level, a neon castle level?
since the creator went for a castle level design approach, it made the level difficult to beat
the level is short, and yet there could've been more stuff accomplished with the space that the player has access to (aka unlimited space)

Pros- 2 Really Good Songs,
Simple, Cheery Graphic Style,
Challenging Design,
Good Level Design

Cons- Short Level

Giving this a rating of 9/10, it needs a little room for improvement, but adding more bits into the level will make it a higher rating! ;D
