It's called "Shadows". It's pretty tedious and some jumps that can kill you will set you back (it's a key level basically), but it shouldn't be that much of a challange after a while (while I haven't finished it myself, I know it's possible, I just keep dying).
There's also a harder Dark World version. I also made a less fogier one if you think the normal one is too foggy.

I don't want to do it seperatley anymore, it's to much of a hassle ( I can only imagine the pain of the Life's a Glitch thread)

I'm sort of a noob at this stuff, but note, these levels can be rage-inducing hard (if you get that far, that is).

People generally like pics so they know if the level is worth playing

The "normal" Shadows level you posted is the "Age of Shadows" level part of the Life's a Glitch level series. With that said, I could play your level since the "less fog" version of the map was the correct file. However, make sure you send the right files next time!

Anyway, your level is, as you say, really tedious. There's way too much backtracking for such a small level, most of the hard parts come near the end and to make matters worse, it's impossible to win because the key on the lower right doesn't work; you forgot to set up its properties so it doesn't open anything and you get stuck.

I didn't play the Dark World version because I found out it had an identical key glitch so it also is impossible.

Your level do look pretty good and that's definitely the highlight of it (however, watch out with the spikes, as some kill you and others are simply part of the background) However, it doesn't play too well. As a general rule, if you find your own level tedious, other people will not have a better opinion about it, and make sure you can beat your level before posting it.

With that said, you have promise. Stick with simpler level designs at first and you should do well.

 Thanks, I must have clicked that level by accident. I am such an idiot. I just realised (and fixed) the key glitch, btw, and am re-uploading it. The spikes... yeah. Just so you know: the only spikes that kill you are in the pit, the 2 on the bottom and top gurading a key, and in the dark world it's the same, only with the spike in the key pit (dark world verion of the key next to all the spikes) having them shortened game-playwise, normal looking visually. Anyways, constructive critisism is always good.

I don't really use dev mode all that much, but I can say that your level looks good from the screen shots.  Like you said, probably a tad tedious, but I would be willing to give it a whirl if I came across it on the level portal.

That said, you could use some background details and what-not to make it a bit prettier to look at.

DAMMIT WHY MUST EVERTHING I DO FAIL  Have to re-upload, I realised it did not save correctly or I did not save... Anyways, I realised that the BEGINNING of Etheral was too hard, made it easier. A bit.

[pfh12998]

Yes! v2_2 is out! I HOPE ITS THE LAST ONE. BETTER BE. OR I PUNCH MEAT BOY 

Damn it aint. Working on the Dark world "Etheral" (beta?), working on it so when you fall it DOESNT TAKE 3 MINS TO RESPAWN WHEN YOU FALL FOREVER(how do I do that???)

Like I said, I don't use dev mode, but I'm pretty sure you need to fiddle with the camera boundaries and stuff.  I have no idea how to do that, but I watched a tutorial awhile back when I was trying to learn.

  I might have watched the same one... Have to watch it again. Oh yeah, I have a new verion of the Dark version- but its not impossible. I have, alas, only completed the light world of it (with easy - bandadge piece of cake, but the dark world's is that if you miss it- you miss it).

to place camera bounds go into camera mode (i think its c) and shift click/drag a box whereyou want the camera centered and or focused.

also remember the importance of placing bg tiles behind your interior level areas, its very important to give your level a feeling of visual stability, right now its looking a bit flat and basic.

(tint your bg level .6 darker then your main ground to give the appearance of depth)

O.O

Anyways, THANK YOU. I now actually have a full chapter planned, I just finished the first level (and this level will be the last of them though... Rough.)

I also wonder wether you guys also secretly play our custom levels once in a while.
