I've updated my level and changed its name. Could you update the list? Instead of "The Monsters: Undiscovered Land" it is now called "Ancient Temple in a Undiscovered Land".

haha indeed I didn't post the name. I presumed it would be you or gocubsgo who would review it and I know you know which I mean haha.

For anyone else: The Doctor: Egyptian Findings.

Just for whoever reviews it, it is only an introduction level so is quite short  

[aWold]

Towers, I think you missed my request back on pg. 165.

Thanks.

[TOWERS_85_87]

@ aWold

 I verified your request and you are indeed correct. I edited the list and now you are on top of the list since you requested the review before the others. Thank you for picking that up.

@Xg4m3r-

I cannot find your level published.  If it is not published, please do so.  I only see the "Moon (Updated)" level under your name.

THE NEW SACKCITY

AUTHOR: paulcity123

DIFFICULTY: [Easy]

CATEGORY: Other

POSITIVES: This level is a definite improvement over Sackcity Beach, in my opinion.  (I previously reviewed Sackcity Beach, by the same creator of this level, a few days/a week back.)  While it was technically smaller in size compared to Sackcity Beach, the scope of the level felt grander.  The essence of the city, of people constantly moving, of the neon lights blinking and flashing, was nicely captured.  As with almost all creative and artistic efforts, it wasn't perfectly captured, but was nicely done nonetheless.  I enjoyed the explosive-detonating part, but, then again, I'm a pyro.   There wasn't any real gameplay to speak of, but that's difficult to do in an open-world level like this, and I understand the limitations.  So I will not judge on that aspect.  Overall, it was a calm, relaxing, almost sedate level that I enjoyed.

NEGATIVES:

-In the description is a statement saying, "HEART to stop construction in Sackcity for GOOD!  20 hearts, you uncloked IHAVEATON AVN!!!"  Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this a heart-and-I'll-add-more scheme?  If so, I suggest not implementing this.  In my opinion, it is a cheap way to get hearts, almost extortion of the player.

-After detonating the explosive to the left of the entrance, it was kind of difficult to get down into the sewer.  It could be chalked up to a matter of skill, though. 

-While I enjoyed the subway, I felt that the track was too short, and that the subway didn't go fast enough to meet my speed demon needs.  I suggest at least upping the speed.  

NITPICKS:

-In the first speech bubble after dropping down from the entrance, I believe "apartmarts" should be "apartments."

-In the speech bubble at the mayor's house, there are two errors.  "mayors" should be "mayor's."  "Are" should be "Our."

-There were a bit too many keys in the level for my liking.  I'm okay with in-level promotion of other levels, but there was one or two too many keys for me.

SUGGESTIONS:

-Look into, consider, or implement the negatives and nitpicks.

NOTES: This level is, in my opinion, better than the level I previously reviewed from this creator, "Sackcity Beach."

OVERALL RATING: 4/5 stars; [hearted]; [not author-hearted]

Will there be the capability of rereviewing if many things have been changed?

[gocubsgo2]

@bloody-picture

You can request a rereview of a level once and ONLY once, even if there have been many changes after the first and only rereview.  That policy's in place to ensure that we don't get ten rereview requests on a level; in other words, swamping us with requests.

The Crossroad Temple

AUTHOR (PSN ID): The_Mighty_Pono (darkserpent08)

CATEGORY: Platformer/Story

DIFFICULTY:[Easy] - [Medium]

DURATION: Approx 6 minutes

LEVEL LOCATION: Middle of the Atlantic Ocean

PROS:

The opening is quite an introduction for the concept of the level. After several problems that have occurred on Earth, it is up to you to conquer all four of the Earth's elements (Land, Water, Fire and Wind). They are all found in an island that has risen from the waters and you arrive to it on helicopter. Each section with its respective element is decently pointed out. The author added some magic mouths to reinforce the transitions. After going through all the sections, you reach a wall at the end where the author shows that future projects are at hand. I particularly liked the fire element section where you utilize two neat volcanoes to proceed through the level. 

CONS:

Levels based on elements have been seen before on a few occasions. Some score aspects, like Visuals, Sounds and Gameplay, are nice, but not ground breaking. The level lacks some attention to the sounds. These include the absence of helicopter, water sounds, etc. These factors help the players submerge themselves in the level.

NITPICKS:

• None

 NOTES:

• None

Originality 3/5

Creativity 3/5

Sounds 2.5/5

Visuals 3/5

Design 3.5/5

Gameplay 3/5

Replay 2.5/5

OVERALL SCORE: 3/5  Worth Playing [level and author not hearted]

  

  

  

SUGGESTIONS:

• Try to add movement to the propeller on top of the helicopter. This would help make it look more dynamic.
• I would add sound effects to when the players are propelled by the volcanoes. Not having sound effects makes them feel less powerful than what they should be.
• I would also emit lights from the large volcano. Just like you did for the smaller one.
• Dim the lights in the area with the large volcano. A nice contrast should now be noticed between the dim light and the added emitted lights from the large volcano. The light can be restored to normal once the player reaches the top.
• I would add a checkpoint at the top platform after the large volcano.
• The icons of the elements (fire, water, wind and earth) should be made out of glass with a dim light behind them. The lighting in several sections make the level look a bit dull. Placing these lights would also help create a contrast and becomes of sort of trademark with your level. The icons I am referring to were placed by you on a wall at the beginning of the level.
• Add several sound effects. Add a respective sound to the helicopter. Add water sound effects as the player goes in and out of the water. Add wind sound effects as the player jumps and swings around the clouds in the wind section.
