So I was playing through this and I thought "this is alright" and then I noticed that you joined yesterday. If this is only your second day of membership, I must say you really get this whole level designing thing. This is really good for one of your first levels.

Well, I noticed some things that actually quite surprised me. When I looked through the level designer to see your level, I was surprised that you made it so I couldn't tell which blocks contained coins so I couldn't cheat this level. That's actually a very interesting mechanic. I like it.

But unfortunately, the breaking the blocks to get coins idea is a hit or miss. I could understand how this could be more fun if you didn't make half the ground breakable. First time I played this I immediately ground pounded looking for coins, and ended up killing myself over and over again.

Second, the cannon was completely pointless. All I did was double jump, spin attack, and by doing that I didn't need to use the cannon at all. It's important to test your levels for these kinds of things that could potentially break your level. (Hah. Hah. Hah... no pun intended.)

Third, I literally only saw five unique things that were included in this level. A metal platform, the same colored brick (breakable or not), a cannon, two signs, and a shine. That screams to me LAAZY. If anything it would've been much, much, MUCH more entertaining if you included a few enemies, maybe some coins on the field so it doesn't turn into a complete game of hide and seek, using more of your level space (no really, why the giant hole of emptiness in the middle? Make it into something bigger), and overall used more decorative items. Stuff like bushes, trees, rocks, etc. Make it more than just this bland minigame where all you do is spin attack.

However, criticism can only do so much, as it's up to you to fix these errors and take some of my ideas into consideration. Or all of it. Possibly none if you don't think my review was helpful. But as of now, I honestly think this level could've been expanded in many more directions. You had an interesting idea, but it needs to be put to use with sophisticated designing criteria in mind. Make it look better, use more of the level designer, and don't leave a giant empty hole in the middle unless if it really serves some purpose (which I highly doubt it does).
