Guys,
I'm sorry if the thing was just nothing. When I saw on the post, it was 2 stars. I was like when I saw the ratings go to 2 stars. Maybe it's because the level's too short.
--BowserJrGaming
(P.S. Only did that because I was too lazy to make the level REALLY long. )

Well, it wasn't only that, also small levels can shine if done well, but in this case it was the lazy structure in general - the castle "walls" only consist of one tile each and is also always the same. The "inner" of this castle is very airy with a lot of background shining through, a variety of background tiles would do better.

You've already catched yourself the most important thing - more effort. No master has fallen from the sky, legends like Yurimaster (-Zero), Vesoralla, Jumbo101 etc. have also started on a similar level, and you have potential.

Hey, at least 2 stars are better than one. As for the level itself, the gameplay isn't too bad, but the clock tower part is pretty hard to get through.
For the graphics, you could try using more tiles than just the castle walls, add some decorations (I know trees inside a castle is weird, but at least it's better than an empty void, or use rocks/fences), and add some background tiles where it's appropriate, because the clock tower area doesn't really feel like it's inside a tower.

You can actually make a sign longer than the limit through manually editing the level code in text editors like Notepad, so you don't need to use multiple signs.
Also, maybe it's just my computer, but the bullet bills and number of enemies made the level somewhat laggy, you can add a transition between the clock tower and the outside to avoid that.

Finally, at the end of the level, you have the shine placed over a gap, where many obstacles are right under. I believe this can potentially cause a glitch to happen where the level continues with nothing to do.

Anyway, I'd give this a 2.5, but that's not an option, so 3 stars?
