It looks great. Just keep practicing.
Maybe make it longer or add other tiles to mix things up a bit and add more variety. Other than that, that's all I have to say.
Maybe take look at other really good designers for inspiration.

Also, there's an LDC, a Level Designer Contest, still open if you want to join it.

There is a technical error with the right level transition.

Image

The half strip you've left free allows you to cross it, and you're glitched and have to restart. It needs a full tile next to the transition in order to block it. Also the bridge items at the silver star next to the pendulum are not visible while playing. The camera cuts away the lowest half tile. This could be intentional but it's still uncomfortable for players puzzling over if they need another switch or FLUDD etc. to get the thing. Those are just things you have to playtest a little more.

The left transition is kinda sparse, but the rest is very impressive for a first level! I also give 4 stars. :) And as said we have LDC open if you're interested
Image

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.

Really good beginning level. But you should add more decorations in some places and add some tiles variation.

4 stars overall.

Maybe make it longer or add other tiles to mix things up a bit and add more variety. Other than that, that's all I have to say.
Maybe take look at other really good designers for inspiration.

Also, there's an LDC, a Level Designer Contest, still open if you want to join it.


in my next level I will try to follow your idea of ​​variety and mix parts , thanks for the tips .
I will not participate in the contest perhaps next , because I 'm still learning how to make levels. :P

The half strip you've left free allows you to cross it, and you're glitched and have to restart. It needs a full tile next to the transition in order to block it. Also the bridge items at the silver star next to the pendulum are not visible while playing. The camera cuts away the lowest half tile. This could be intentional but it's still uncomfortable for players puzzling over if they need another switch or FLUDD etc. to get the thing. Those are just things you have to playtest a little more.

The left transition is kinda sparse, but the rest is very impressive for a first level! I also give 4 stars. :) And as said we have LDC open if you're interested


well ... I looked at my mistakes you mentioned in your review , I tried to correct them and if you want to check to see if it's mistakes, be my guest . :)
