This level is a sequel to Glacial Simplicity, but now, it's the temperature of an oven!

Two major flaws:

The level is unnecessarily tall and the background messes up, showing its black border.
The second transition is very narrow so the camera extremely shakes as soon as I enter it.

I'm sure this is both not intentional, so test your levels.

The level itself is very simplistic and quite short. Please put more effort into your levels. Rated 2 stars.

Thank you, FF.

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.

The second was intentional. I wanted it to look like the volcano was erupting/ an earthquake.

I didn't join runouw for a showcase of flaws. Jeez.

You may also call this constructive criticism. The things he told you about, were more than legit to say.
A LDer grows with his feedback. So try to do better next time, keep specific things in mind, especially when mentioned more often and step on to that.
(Not blindly. Always consider anything as useful or not so useful for yourself)

I wouldn't call it constructive criticism. He didn't list any positives in the level, and it wasn't in a very friendly manner. Instead of telling him how to improve, he only told him the negatives. Listing flaws is okay as long as you tell them how to improve.
(i looked up the definition of constructive criticism, trust me)

Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.
Karyete: How pathetic
