Alright, I've made some serious progress in devmode but I'm still dealing with a lot of lag. I've got three levels below for you guys to test. The first one is the one I shared earlier with some changes made from the feedback I got. The other two are new. Thanks for trying and if you have any feedback it would be really helpful - especially regarding timing because my lag makes that impossible to test. here's the link:

Cons first:
1) Bandage Girl doesn't finish the level.  I'm not a devmode user so I can't help you there
2) You can skip the 1st of the 3 switches needed to get to Bandage Girl by slipping through a hole to the right.

Pros:
1) I very much enjoyed the level.
2) Its design seems pretty unique.
3) Its supposed to feature Brownie
4) It looks pretty good visually.  It could use maybe a tad of lighting flair, but good use of pipes, color palette, broken bricks in the background, etc.

Overall I'd say its a solid level considering its your first try.

Edit: I also like the little enemy dude chillin' on the outside of the level.

cool man thanks - that hole route is way slower - par time will be around 11 seconds - i agree about the lighting but that's the thing i know the least about - i can't seem to figure out how to change the lighting at all - also i don't know how to make bandage girl finish the level

There's multiple Bandage girl objects. You want the largest one that animates.

[Murdoc Loch]

alright cool thanks - what about the timing? a good run should be under 11 seconds and you shouldn't have to wait for anything 

[Murdoc Loch]

anyone else care to comment?

Yeah, I tried this earlier but didn't reply anything. Sorry about that.

I played the level again and I like it pretty much. It looks very clear and the mix of orange/red/grey colors works very well in my opinion. I like the route too and the fact that the trap are nowhere near impossible.

It's a very solid level if it's your first one, but there's one thing that probably should be edited. The speed in the last three opening block sets should be made faster. I jumped too fast up from the first button a few times and hit the ceiling before it opened. Also, I wonder why the bandage girl doesn't work in your level.

Anyway, this level made me want to use the "real" tilesets even more. I'm currently using only the glitch/retro tilesets in the chapter I'm working on and I feel like there's so much I'm missing since those tilesets are pretty limited.

[Murdoc Loch]

thanks for the feedback shootakai-

I agree about the opening block sets needing to open faster but the faster they open the faster they close - i wish i could figure out how to make them stay open for a second or two before closing - then i would make them open really fast - so if anyone knows how to do that, that would be a huge help

It's not "done" done but it is my first level- i've got two others i've started on as well - I've been making minor adjustments to them here and there and will continue to do so as i learn more about the editor - this lag certainly isn't helping anything though

Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing new levels at some point.

Wish I knew how to edit the opening blocks. They are not available in the tilesets I've been using, so I have no clue.

okay well I got the opening block sets issue sorted out and put the newest version of that level as well as two new levels up in the OP.

Check them out & let me know what you think

I played all 3 

you have really great design and i love the way the levels look

pm01 fun level but i wish you weren't stuck in that tinny spot on the map the get the keys i mean back tracking isn't allways great but i think this level could benefit from it

pm02 the jumps were a pain but fun  this was a great level love the red sky with white clouds. I didn't like the wall to wall jump twards the end that has the wall beteewn it with needles

pm03 like this a lot  . but.. going down after the fan was easy and bland , and going up to the fan theres an area were you can get screen killed ! 

but all of the whinny comments werent realy flaws the maps are great

that being said keep up the good work

Ok, sounds great. I'll test the levels once I'm free (in about 11 hours, lol).

Great levels!

Pm01 - I've played 100+ user made levels, and I think this one is really exceptional. I loved the entire level. Flawless

Pm02- Great level, looks good. However, I found that even though I died only 4-5 times to beat it, it frustrated me. I didn't love the fall right after the 1st key to get to the 2nd key, but great level all the same. I like hard levels

Pm03- I thought this level was good, and I really liked how clean it looked. I would have added a few more death opportunities, however, because I found the level VERY easy.

Loved them all, some of the best user levels I have played

[sh00takai]

Yeah, I really loved the levels too. I cannot come up with anything bad about them. They look amazing and they were easy to navigate, fun to speedrun and challenging in a fair way.
