I've been experimenting a lot in the level editor the last days, and after some hours of work I decided to share my best three levels. I'd appreciate any feedback, like if the levels are too hard, too easy, too bland, too boring etc.

Here they are:

Horseshoe

Sparkle

(Please ignore the light source in the middle of the level, it appeared when I uploaded it.)

Sanctuary

Please, try them out and leave me some feedback. I want to make a full chapter, but I want to know if I'm skilled enough at designing levels

Nice levels, but your difficulty judgement is a little off. It's not like I suck; I've 100%'d the game.

Thanks.

And I know, the levels aren't really hard compared to what the last few chapters have to offer. It's just that Sanctuary took me 40 minutes (I'm not kidding) to upload because I couldn't complete it. I guess SMB isn't really the best thing to play when you're feeling tired.

You know, maybe the fact that it took you 40 minutes to beat your own level isn't an indication of good difficulty. Wouldn't that be a sign that something is wrong with your level?

As for the levels, they look pretty good for 4-bit maps. Sparkle is a bit harder than "easy" as air control isn't always easy to master and the last jump can be tricky. Horseshoe is simple enough and belongs in Easy, but Sanctuary wasn't good at all. You just repeated the same obstacle endlessly and thus there's no reason to push forward and try to beat it since the player knows there will only be more of the same, you have to vary your stuff a bit.

Based completely on aesthetics, these are awesome. Love your style! I'll have to try them at some point.

I meant that the levels you said were easy were medium.

Hm... Maybe it should be up to you to rate the diffculty. I mean, my own ratings will always end up pretty biased since I know how to figure the levels out.

As for Sanctuary being repetitive: that's kind of the point. All the jumps are equally hard to make, it's just that you getting a little stressed at the end of level makes them harder. But you do have a point, maybe i should change the last three jumps into something different.
