even if you don't remember which one is the 3 and which is 4, you have 50/50 chance to get it right.

Uh, there is no need to remember which one is which. It would be easy to figure it out by watching which one goes behind the other when they meet. I would say that level looks fairly easy to get the order on.

Anyway, I agree that there are too many things in it, there is no need to include a button, lever and . I think they should only be included if they are actually needed to complete the level, or useful in some other way. Generally, levers don't make crystals appear, they change the layout of the level just like buttons. Crystals generally only appear by going to a specific part of the level, one that is somehow dangerous, not just a detour, which I think is good. You also seem to have included teleporters for no reason, which just looks weird.

I included the teleporters so that you couldn't just bomb-jump out of the side of the level, hitting the lemons on the way out. You have to actually go to where the lemons are to end the level.

For the background, I was just using that particular background to make sure all of the floors were in the right places.

The button and the lever are just extra touches, meant to give a little extra challenge. That's the kind of person that I am; really into tiny detail. Even really unnecesary detail. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to add any risk to getting to the lever. It's also good to know what the levers do.

You're all just biased against .

Thanks for the comments. I'll keep all of this in mind.

Yeah, I guess I did rate the big crystal difficulty a little too high.

Josh, I am also really into details and when I do something I want it to be perfect. However I don't have the imagination to create things like this so I stay away . I'm good with advices, though, so you may put a or a the next time. And less unnecessary things . You don't need 1000 black to make a level good.

Okay, thank you.

I'm making a "Robin Hood" level. As soon as you enter, you lose your bombs. There are a few William Tell rings scattered around the level that you are "Forced" to use. There are different levels of platforms, each with different enemies. The bottom is Lychees, next one up is Strawberries, third is a shootout with apples, and finally a big showdown with the sheriff, an Armageddon Pineapple. There are saws on the Pineapple platform that can interrupt your arrows.

I don't know... I'll just keep working on it.

Joshua H.

Lychees are the ones that have to be hit twice, aren't they?
If yes, you have to remember that the arrows can't kill them. They only stun them!

By the way... Such a level exists in reality Take a look at level 0.1 - the basic idea is similar^^

Oof... Maybe change them to Apricots or Bananas, then? Or, make it Kiwis...

I'll go take a look at 0.1.

Joshua H.

There are some special things that I can't describe that makes a level look professional. I'm making one as I type this.

Nice level btw

0.1 is an extremely similar idea...

Keep in mind that these are not the Set Backgrounds.

The "Icy Sun" leads to an area called "The Treasure Depths."

Use the [LINK] button when you add links. Also I don't like the second level at all. The single cube on the floor with the apples is badly placed - they won't be able to jump, they will fall down. The blob is stuck at that platform and it is almost impossible to kill you, I don't think you need three rings at the level and if you fall down you won't be able to jump up so you'll die.
