Darkwater Haven
Darkwater Haven is my entry for the 25squared mini-LDC, where the level has to be 25x25 tiles long. Looking back at it, it is probably, in my own opinion, one of my most beautiful works. Then again I don't have very high hopes for it compared to the other entries I have seen, but only time will tell.

Music (remember to disable in-game music for this one to take over): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLzVggARCVk

Fun fact: I used every single piece of decor from the third tab of the "Items" section at least once in the level.

Slightly edited the level to improve the graphic work and include a missing detail.

Where's da musik Harmless? (It's here by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLzVggARCVk)
The level feels very small. You shoudl've not put as many coins in the level. I know what you were going for, but it resulted in being a quick level with not really much in it. Maybe if you added more decorations, the level would feel more 'alive'.

3/5 stars and congrats on 9th place

@EDIT:
Apparently I can't read >.> Nice music though

Ah. I kinda knew gameplay was going to suck ♥♥♥♥, but I just went for graphical work. Since, y'know, I have yet to figure out how to make an exciting level out of 25x25.

But thanks!

You know this level would work great if it was bigger. Basically expand what you have in this level (same shape), and add more to it, some platforms, mazes etc.

Hmm, I might consider in the meantime.
