PYRODOOM'S PROFILE

I actually *wanted* the player to backtrack, but ok. I'll add some extra enemies and some better secrets.

Also, what "smb3 bricks show thing"?

Some players might not even think to backtrack!
an smb3 bricks show thing is where you have smb3 bricks in the ground with an opening a shell can get into. Some bricks contain coins, but the shell must break through the bricks to get to the coin blocks, at the end, there is either a 1-up or a power-up. Have some empty spaces to where the shell can drop down a level. If you need an example, I can whip up a quick one!

Good:
-Nice music!
-Great graphics!
-neat little convayor belt section. (However, this idea is only used once)

Bad:
-The first shell thing (Where you hit a koopa shell inbetween two blocks that can only be hit by koopa shells for coins/upgrades) takes too long, make a block closer to the coin block.
-The entire level is rather devoid of backround objects!
-The first Bullet Bill Staircase, if you fall inbetween the second blaster and third, or the third and harbor, you're stuck! Add a way to get out!
-The water pit behind the checkpoint is too tricky to jump out of, make it easier or kill you.
-the fifth dragon coin is near impossible to nab.
-The climb up to the broken rocket is boring and tedious.
- Use some of the enemies you have in the level more consistantly
???:
-The squid swims outside the water ?!?!?

Might do more before bowling!

Pyrodoom's Metal Harbor

The music doesn't play because the difficulty number and the folder number are both different. Get that fixed. Also, the last section is a bit jarring. When I jumped up to it, I did not expect to be going down. The problem is that I'm flopping in water about 5 times before I get to the land. Considering revising section 2.

Section 1 is fine, except for the rope section, towards the top of the screen. The rope has two layers and the bottom layer isn't hitting anything. Edit the rope graphic and remove the bottom layer. Otherwise, the level is nicely decorated, in regards to blocks. More background objects would improve the look of the level.

Also, when you redo section 2, extend it for a few more screens. The level ends too suddenly after the checkpoint. Also, redraw the swim lines for the water graphic. Do not have the lines going on top of the water. Have them one tile lower. Your blooper swims on air as a result.

Let me quote Seiromem: The first Bullet Bill Staircase, if you fall inbetween the second blaster and third, or the third and harbor, you're stuck! Add a way to get out! Remember, we want to avoid no win situations.

You can jump off bullet bills if you get stuck, though it's difficult to. It's pretty much not a no-win situation. I will add a few pipes to the level, seeing as that rocket section needs it, might as well add some more so it's not strange. I didn't think about the swimlines...but the blooper. It's meant to be swimming in the air. You can do that by having a blooper attached to a layer of water, and move around, that way it's as if it's always in water, and moves as doing so. Ever played Super Mario Brothers 2 JAP version? Yeah, that.
Seeing as this stage was based off of Metal Harbor from Sonic Adventure 2, there were definite issues making that part, so seeing as this is 3D to 2D, I had to do something! I will fix that. Next, the jump into nothing, that definetly needs to be fixed. I'll need a pipe.
Two conflicting statements of my BGO placement, one saying there were too little, the other saying there was enough. I don't know what to do here, and the only graphics I found fitting for Metal Harbor were airship BGOs. Another 2 was that Seiromem loved my music choice, while Deckiller apparently didn't hear anything. That's confusing.
All in all, I'll try and fix as much as I can.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hmm, maybe Forest Temple should be world 4 or 5 due to the crusher and the tight disks? What does everyone else think? Slowing down the crusher might make it world 3 quality, but I already have Fire Temple pegged for World 3 or 4. Maybe keep as is and make it world 5?

Second level, Fire Temple, is up~

Difficulty: 3 or 4/8

Water Temple to come at some point this weekend.
