The Strange

By: Automatica

Category: Story

Length: 5-8 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Short summary: Sackboy is on his way to be executed. While being brought through the dark forest by train, something kills the driver and sackboy escapes into the dark and magical woods. 

Pros: Automatica has quite a couple cool things going on in this level. A way to use lighting to his atmospheric advantage in a way that I haven't seen before, a satisfying yet cruel storyline, and  vast array of selfmade objects. The story line was a huge part of it for me, the ending both made me hate and love your level even more. I can't say much, lest I give away spoilers.

The unique shapes and characters brought that magical yet slightly disturbing experience that this level needed. At several points the mixtures of lighting, scenery and character brought chills down my spine. I'm glad you took the time to make each individual object, everything just enhanced the feel of the level.

Cons: I only have one con. Make it longer! The atmosphere was so nice, that I want to feel that again! Looking back, it wasn't all that long.

Suggestions:

-In several areas, it may have been a tad bit too dark. If you receive any complaints I would suggest brightening them up just a touch.

The Old Well in the Backyard

By: Aworld

Category: Platformer

Difficulty: easy

Length: 2-3 minutes

Pros: The level was fairly well thought out, with little secrets stashed throughout the entire level. Other than that, there isn't much to say about this level.

Cons: The aesthetics are really quite basic. There isn't anything that stands out. In fact, the entire level is pretty basic. Lastly, the length is an issue. For the extremely small amount of content in the level, It lasts for a very brief period. With it being to short, and not enough to do, It just doesn't work out.

Aesthetics- 2/5

Gameplay- 1/5

Fun-2/5

Little Big Bakery

AUTHOR: telepip

CATEGORY: Platformer

DIFFICULTY: [Medium]

DURATION: Approx. 3-5 minutes

LOCATION: East of North America



PROS:

Your level has some fun gameplay moments in the platforming. There is also some surprise elements where I thought I had died accidentally to only find out that it was intentional. There's some good useage of teleporting too.



CONS:

The level could be better in visuals. I think you probably should have raised the hieght of the level because seeing the basic ground from the garden sort of ruins the atmosphere. At points it looks cool. I think making the level a little thicker would cover up that background. you could also consider doing a blank template and making your own background. There's also a segment with the part where you'regrabbing the bossted cupcake. If you let go at any point in that time. There's no way to advance and your only choice is to restart the level.







SCORES:



Originality 3/5

Creativity 3/5


Visuals 3/5

Design 4/5

Gameplay 4/5

Replay 3.5/5




Overall Score: 3/5

Thank you for your review, I think it was very fair and would have scored it about the same if I was a 3rd party.

Actually though, if you grab onto the boosted cupcake and let go, the next checkpoint is already activated so if you die at all, you will advance. I suppose I should have made a device that would kill you if you fell back down, but didn't know enough about level design when I made it.

Also, I thought the weakest part of the level was boss battle and was surprised that you didn't mention it.

Sorry about your loco robo by the way, it's literally held together with paperclips and chewing gum.

Thanks for the review!

The Candle Lighter Part 1: The Beginning

By: THE_DUde981

Category: Story

Difficulty: Easy

Length: 3-5 minutes

Pros: Initially when I first stepped into the level, everything looked "flat" as in it had been made entirely from grid mode. As I clambered through the cave, everything was neatly made to the degree of looking entirely realistic. Though this is a short level, it had quite an impact on me my first time playing through. I thought: "This is how a level should be made." I rarely see stuff this good, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The witty sound effect humor, realistic scenes and splendid atmosphere definitely make a statement through the level.

Cons: I spotted a bat made by another player. The reason why I recognized the bat was that it was in the Goty edition. I also spotted a sign made by another player who made a Goty level. I would suggest removing and placing in your own sign and bats. Lastly the beginning of the level is a bit "flat" maybe add some hills or flesh it out with some more decorations.

Suggestions:

The hidden treasure has an infinite amount of bubbles in it, which is why I have an unbeatable highscore. I would strongly suggest limiting the amount of bubbles. Bubbles are to be used sparingly and in a fashion that makes the player want to try to get them.

There is a piece of logic visible by the rotating fire platforms on the second path.

THE CRAZY AND MAGICAL MANUFACTORY

By: thecooper8

Category: story

Difficulty: easy

Pros: I had no clue that visuals like you've had them are even possible. I expected great visuals from you since you made the "Lonely Village" series, but this is insane. The entire visual scheme is so bright yet detailed, It made a huge impact on me as soon as I saw the factory and even more so when I saw the inside. The gameplay may be fairly basic, but it works with the environment and the visuals in a pleasing and incredible way.

Cons: There are none...

Suggestions:

The few "gas: barriers are quite annoying. The one after the billows of smoke on the outside is impossible to avoid if the player grabs one of the smoke clouds. The biggest one I can think of is right at the end. If you jump to the left as soon as you are transported to the door, it becomes impossible to read the magic mouths at the end.
