Re: [levels] Re: X-Moto - Level Asiam Frenzy

[Jens Erler <mothbox@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I ve not rejected the level as it was, but my comment as head validator:
- the cloud sprite shall be exchanged indeed (it doesnt have clear 
borders for collision circle)
- theres no need to use layers and stuff, important is just a nice 
composition of gfx (so I agree here)
- I also dont like many sprites, the less sprites, the better

- quality standards in fact rose a bit, which is good for xmoto, for 
also "mainstreamers" get into the game. Anyway I agree that gameplay is 
the most important thing.

for the level: please re-upload a version that appeals to you, I ll have 
a look at it then and (@ other validators) dont wish it to be rejected 
until I saw it.
