This is a typical beginner’s level. That is not a very bad thing, because you learn by the errors you make. However, you won’t get high ratings which such levels of course. Here’s what’s wrong:
Gameplay: 2.5
Before I could play, I encountered the first common mistake new designers do: the hide level in home cooked list option is on. If this option is activated, the level can’t be accessed from the home cooked levels episode, so I had to open the file in the level editor and disable it. This is annoying, but none the less I started to play. I didn’t look at the time, but I think it took me about a minute or two to get to the end. The whole level is pretty much a try-out with some random events. You jump over some small pits with turtles on, warp to a more or less secret room with some goodies, kill a few more enemies and grab a tnt that you don’t need and then the level ends. Not a very exciting playing experience. The main problem is that no real thought has been put into placing the events. It always feels like the designer just put in what he thought might be good to try it out. There’s also no real challenge even for a beginner, because the level is so short and the few enemies there are can be easily killed before they hit you.
Creativity: 2.2
Not a whole lot of creativity, but with that short size there’s not a lot of space for creative stuff anyway. Well, the author mentioned that it wouldn’t be very original, but that’s exactly the point. If it’s not, then spend some effort to make it what it should be. Putting in some creative stuff is not as hard as it seems. I could think off a complicated puzzle right now if I wanted to. Just think about what you can do with certain events, and you’ll almost always get some ideas.
Eyecandy: 1.5
Here it shows again how inexperienced the designer still is. There are a lot of tile bugs, in short, the set just hasn’t been used the way it should be, mostly because the designer didn’t know how. At least it seems so. This can be easily overcome by just practice. Fool around, try some stuff, and you can get to decent results. The way it is now, it’s not a pleasure for the eye though.
Conclusion:
Like I said, this is more something like a try-out than a challenging level. Practice makes perfect is my advice. With more experience, surely better results can be achieved.
Final Rating: 2.0, no download recommendation
