Okay, but how to you do identification of "very good"? You even say it is "one of", do you mean your level are all very good?

FUN: 0.5/2

The level is all filled with lava, bullies and whatever. They will fall to the lava automatically, so you don't need to do anything to grab the shine sprite. You just need to see the bully fall and walk around. That will be a bit tedious, if you only put lava and bullies. Avoiding some bully to prevent falling to the lava isn't really fun right? Oh, after some bully falling to the lava, I see a sliver star. But does it worth to put it here? There's just a lava below, which you'll 95%++ not falling to it. There's two sliver star after the first level transition. However, they're too easy to get. Also they're too close to each other. What you're doing is just getting sliver stars but not collecting them. Getting them without effort given isn't fun and appropriate. After climbing down the hill, you've to climb up again, and just avoiding some enemies. It is too tedious. Walking around the volcano by just climbing up and down is fun? Third star is easy to get too, you also used the same idea, put it a bit far from the land. So you have to climb up again. And if you fell down, you've to climb up and get it. You have used a idea again and again. You've to change it. Or it will be too tedious. Tedious.

After that, there's some rock falling down. Again, the sliver star is too easy to get. Besides the rock, there's no more things. Just a 45 degree slope. The slope is way too plain, nothing is there. The rock wave is too close. So you just have to jump a bit and you can climb again. The rock fall too slowly at the start. You will not see the rock falling at the base of the volcano.You just have to walk to the shine sprite. T-e-d-i-o-u-s. At least you can add some lava. I wonder why that the base of the volcano have lots of lava. But the slope doesn't.

What I like is just the rock, but why don't you add some of them in other area? The level can be simplified into one word: boring. Firstly avoiding lava and seeing bullies fall. Then get star without effort stupidly. Finally walk through a 100 grid slope without anything except rocks. Great job seen.

GRAPHICS: 1/2

You have only use one kinda tile. Actually you can add some more thing in level, like hot-rock tile. Although no cut-off is find in the level. But some of the slope is way not realistic. Do the slopes really like that? A 45 degree slope, without anything? And that slope is so tall and long. Which is plain. That slope is really "pure", it ruin it at all. Have you seen a slope is really like that? To avoid it, just, just add some different slope and cliffs. Please. I don't like to see a "pure" slope.

OTHER: 0.5/1

Nothing special.

OVERALL: 2/5

Below average. This level is normal, easy as baby, no originality is find here. The level isn't challenging at all, you just abused some lava. Lava-avoiding is not original at all. I really don't like this kind of tedious gameplay. To avoid this. firstly, you can add some platform which you never used. And some coins for decoration and healing. And also put some sliver star at a better position. For example, put some platform in the sky and a sliver star in the sky. And some more rock. I love rocks falling part. However you make it in a wrong, bad way. Sorry. Just fix some of the tedious stuffs. For example, adding some lava, enemies and some platform at the slope area. More idea like 180-platform are also advised.

I think you're one of the best level raters. This might not be a good idea or not, I'm making a furnace level. I'll make the level and then send a message with the code, and then you tell me what mistakes I should correct.
