Shrunken Castle

-Try This on for Size! Productions-

|25x25|
It took much more time to plan and design this than it looked.

Mario hears the news of an unidentified figure being sighted, shortly after a popular castle is shrunken. It is undetermined whether that shadow had anything to do with this scheme. The plumber decides to take a look inside the tiny castle. Apparently, the contents inside are normal-sized. He learns, via a sign, that a Shine Sprite inside would break the spell (how many things can a Shine Sprite do!?!).

Coin Collecting Difficulty: Easy-Medium.
Lag: Semi Low-Semi High.
Coin Count: 30
1-Up Count: 2

Version 1.05: Fixed the position of a door's destination.
Version 1.055: Changed one tile. That's it...
Version 1.1: Added a few more enemies. Added a warning. Added more coins. Added another 1-Up Mushroom. Altered/removed some tiles.
Version 1.175: Extended the switch's timer back to 18 seconds. (Thanks entertainment.net!)

Well done! I'd give this an 8/10.
My only complaint is that the P-switch timer is a bit too short. I get that your trying to make it a challenge to get there in time, but the process of getting back to the switch is too tedious. Having to go through 4 rooms every time you screw up the jump gets very frustrating.
Other than that flaw, the level is very solid. Good graphics, great enemy placement, some fun platforming, and a nice job with the text formatting on the signs and level title.

Thanks for the feedback!

The timer of the switch used to be 4 seconds longer.
I apologize for the difficulty, but my high video gaming talent often gets in the way with making things fairer.

I'll just go ahead and revert the timer back. However, it'll just make the level more boring to me. :facepalm:

A nice 25x25 level. It could have been a bit more challenging. But I kinda enjoyed it.
4/5 Stars. (too lazy for review or something like that right now.)
Keep up the good work.

LOL, I guess my advice was for the worse. Maybe you could try making two different versions of the level, one "hard", one "easy"?

Thanks again for the great feedback!

I will think about making this into two versions!
I would also like to see what you peoples'd think of my other levels! I haven't many ratings, so I'm unsure how good most of my previous levels are.

Something is not right...

Who is downrating this?

I do not want to look bad, and am fearing that people will not try any of my levels out if they keep getting downrated (and I know I'm not the only victim). Could someone please take action, if possible?

Oh, and another thing!
It is okay if you truly do not like my levels (such as this one), but please try to reply with a good reason why you dislike them. Thanks.

I know who is doing this: NUNEZ, or Victor Espejo if you want to say. This guy is downrating levels!

Anyways, cool level! I like it. Everything I like to check, but a bit more difficulty needed for me. It is seriously fun! Design is well made. Basically, you deserve four stars!

I actually knew he was a culprit. It was just a kind of anger impulse (do not ask why).
There is more than one downrate, however.
Check out "the Triple-Bot." It has two bad ratings too.
(this is not for advertisement. It is for use as an example.)

Oh, yes. And thanks!

Also, if you need that difficulty boost, give the Hard Version a chance!
