Chase scenes can be amazing if pulled off well, but you just have to be careful because its so easy to overdo them.

After a day of thinking, I realize that I forgot something that every level needs to be good...

PARKOUR!!!

That's right, this is a platforming game. So we need parkour. And lots of it. Some can be easy, others are hard. The main point of the game is platforming am I right? :omg:
You can find me on other stuff! Isn't that nice?

Oh yes, this link right down below leads to KHInsider, not only a good place for Kingdom Hearts fans, but also a good place to get full soundtracks. By clicking on that link, I would be referring you to it(hopefully). As a benefit, I can download a soundtrack all at once one time for each referral. So its a Win-Win.

"Parkour" in this context is just platforming. In a platformer game.

The big opposite to the platformer is the puzzler. And yes, puzzlers can be great. Examples: Volcove's Beyond and Yuri's Thermal Temple.

And I also love wing cap flights. Especially fast wing cap flights, like the one in Amp's Oasis Treasure.

Thank you, FF.

Nan's sig! From the previous Secret Santa event!: show
Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.
