Starpixels

So uhm..

I found this forum. And I looked at the levels. And let's just say, most of them are less than desirable compared to the average quality on other SMBX communities. So I decided to post one of my own levels as a bit of an example. This is a bit old, and not my best work, but whatever.

I'll try it... I love to test the newbies levels! :L

Newbie? Bro, I've been playing SMBX for around two years, and I SMW hacked a bit before that. I was one of the 1.3 testers. I just haven't been on this community.

lol newbie. You're a newbie!
Anyways, I played this level, and I thought it was gonna be cool, but i was unimpressed. Yeah sure, the graphics were nice. It caught my eye, but the level is very bland. You're just dodging a lot of boos and chasing Koopas while going from pixel to pixel. Also, the background shapes were cool, but there were too much of them at some points. The amount of Roto-discs was irritating too. No replay value...

I'd say it's probably about a 4-10.

I haven't played it but the screenshots are cool.

Geez, I'm just dodging enemies while platforming. Sounds awful, it almost sounds like... A MARIO GAME!!

It's endgame level difficulty. Despite that I've had three people tell me it's easy. While they're very good players, it's not that hard.

No replay value? There's like 10 1-ups, powerups everywhere, and it's multipathed?

'It's bland'. You're descriptive.

I won't argue this is the best level ever, like I said, it's old and not my best work, but at least make your reviews make sense bro.

I knew you'd have something to say about my review, but hey, my review is better than saying "Oh the screen shots look cool" or "Oh yeah the level looks nice, I'll play it!" don't you think?

It is when the review consists of "oh noez, I'm doing the basic actions of a platformer" "oh noez, the roto-discs are annoying in an endgame level" "oh noez, no replay value, something most indiviual levels don't have anyways, and it actually does have." :/

Well... Newbie "bro" is the therm the user use to refer to a Mushrrom, Goomba Or Flowr Rank user.

You just seem a little upset. A near-end level doesn't need so many roto discs to make it near end or make it a finale. SMBX is indeed a platform, but we all know it's capable of much more, I know you know that too. Saying your level has replay value is an opinion that is up to the players to chose btw. :/ I know you're capable of making a better level. Also, i think you meant "it is NOT when the review consists of-" :P
