Sp00py Ghost Hut
Aesthetics: 6/10
I really liked the graphics used in this level, they reminded me a lot of Super Mario Advanced 4. In my opinion, the level was a bit empty, which can be excused though, since you were obviously going for SMW ghosthouse style. I also really liked the music you used, which gave the level a really eerie atmosphere.
NPCs: 5/10
I liked the use of pumkin goombas, however it looked kinda weird when they came out of the blocks since they're too big for them, and they were partially placed in some really unfair spots. Also maybe one or two more powerups would've been nice. I liked the idea of stars instead of Yoshi coins, since stars are actually more useful and this could easily be implemented into an episode where stars unlock something.
Gameplay: 9/10
This level, albeit short, did cover every aspect of a ghosthouse I can think of: P-switch puzzles, similar looking rooms to confuse the player, a gravity-type gimmick, the falling ceiling, the moving room, this level has some really nice and creative gimmicks that made the level really enjoyable and memoriable. There's really not much to say here, this level did about everything right in this section. It wasn't something mindbogglingly amazing, but it was really really REALLY nice.
Overall score: 6.66/10 (oh my), moved to Pretty Good.
