Spoiler: show
A linear haunted forest themed level with great NPC placement and awesome use of layers with 1 secret pipe. Also I didn't see any clash or cutoff.
Design: I really liked this level's design. There were very few flaws including the huge difficulty getting the dragon coins, but I can understand why you did it because they are dragon coins after all lol. Also the way you used layers to move the BGOs around was super creative and it definitely adds to the atmosphere of the level. My few complaints are: don't make the Dragon Coins extremely hard to get to. It's good to make it challenging, but don't go overkill on it. (secret room for example although it was still very clever) The second one is getting to that room in the 1st place where you put stationary Eeries blocking half of the area, and although I can understand why you did it, it made things very difficult. Also the level was on the short side. It would have been fantastic if you made the level longer since you seemed to have some very creative ideas.
Score 8.5/10
NPC Placement: The NPC placement was really well done. My only complaint is that there could have been more coins and plus if you attached the coins to layers and made them move around like you did with the special blocks and the BGOs, it would have been great. Also there was some poison mushroom spam which again, I understand why you did it, but I think poison water (purple colored lava) would have fit so much better. Not to mention it would have opened up new possibilities to your level.
Score 8/10
Atmosphere: You nailed the atmosphere perfectly. The Paper Mario remixed music really worked with this level, not to mention the way you used layers to move things around on their own which definitely added to it. The level even looked like a haunted forest. Great job with this.
Score: 10/10
Overall Score: 8.8/10 Pretty Good
Very good job, just fix the minor nitpicks and everything will be great.
