I approved this level, but to be clear, it was a close one: Next one, it won't be so sure.

You see, your level clearly lacks effort. You said it took you a while to make this level and I respect that, but there are several examples of cut-off in your level (actually, your entire level is an example of cut-off). Cut-off is when you place borderless tiles on the edge of your paths/formations. Some of the trees you placed also aren't connected with the ground, and they float in midair. The point is, cut-off doesn't really look good nor realistic. To guarantee a good level, you should avoid as much as possible.

Image Image


The bone bridges you also placed inside the volcano aren't perfectly flat. An easy way to fix that is by holding Ctrl when placing items: this will automatically lock the item you place to a grid for easy alignment.

Your level also features a lot of grammar mistakes. It is common sense to avoid them as much as possible.

That's all the tips I can give you right now, and my fellow designers will probably agree with me on this one, so if you want to make sure all your future levels are approved, make sure to follow these simple tips ;)

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.
