Fun: 9.5/10

This was incredibly fun for the most part. I loved the platforming - it was very engaging, and there wasn't anything that really ruined the enjoyment. However... in the very last room, the first obstacle was a little annoying (not to me personally, but I can see it as an annoyance to somebody else.). It was quite out of balance with the rest of the level's obstacles, and it was very hard to get under it without any burns from the lava.

Graphics: 4.25/5

The contraptions, the tile-usage, the background tiles, it was all highly appealing. My only complaint with the graphics is the lack of decoratiive sprites. The contraptions aren't enough to perfect this section, yet you did have some rocks & stones, but there could have been more things here and there like several plants, additional rocks, and maybe some more contraptions as obstacles.

Other: 3.625/5

+.5: For its overall design, the loading time and lag is very low. Nice.
+.375: Those twisting machines on the eastern path; the flipping platforms in the Checkpoint area. Pretty neat, not to mention CLEVER.
-.25: That first obstacle in the last room. It was by far the toughest obstacle in the level, making the difficulty balance a bit off.

Overall: 17.375/20

Wow! Nice job. It was a little short, but not enough to affect the level. There were a few lackings in a couple areas, but it's often difficult to focus on everything in a level, so of course there'd be a chance for the slightest drawback. This was still an awesome level, though. Keep it up!

Star king's "Mythical Hollows"

Fun: 8.1/10

It was quite enjoyable, especially the first half of the level. It could have been more fun - the tight tunnels kinda leave the player with less stuff to do, and I think you could have kept the loading time and lag down like it is now if you budgeted item usage with wider paths.
I might play this again in the future, but I probably won't find as much excitement as I did before.

Graphics: 5/5

The entirety of this level's graphics is much more than appealing, it's perfect. I cannot imagine it any better; for its concept, you designed the visuals the best it could be. That is just about it. Perfection is everywhere (in my opinion, at least.).

Other: 3.5/5

-.25: The loading time was just a bit too long, and I have a rather quick laptop.
+.5: Phobian Bowser was awesome. It definitely has that "Bowser" look, and it was pretty clever too.
+.25: I was pleased to find little lag. Great job.

Overall: 16.6/20

This was a very good level. It definitely proves that there's still so much more we can do with the Level Designer.
It seems you have put a little more thought into the graphics than the enjoyability this time around, but you are still an incredible designer in my opinion.
Keep our mouths dropped! :3
