Hi,



Thank you for your level.



Unfortunately, it cannot be validated for the following reasons:



-----------------------------------------



Infinity:



GFX are pretty nice, two points:

1) There is a tiny bit of red poking into the blue area in the first area.

2) The glass layer, while cool, feels like it was placed without care.



Comments on gameplay:

The level is super gimmicky. I had to look at the level's script in order to understand how to win.



Notes:

1) There is no indication that pressing y for yes or n for no is an option.

2) You do not mention the 'neither' option at all, which is required to beat the stage.

3) The grammar and messages are cringy.

4) Most players will not be able to succeed at this unless they button mash or check the script.

5) The gameplay isn't very exciting or interesting. You'll need to rework this so that there's more to it.



MotR: As Infinity mentioned, there's a hint of the red upper block texture that overlaps where the blue lower block texture should be. The glass looks randomly placed, there's no real reason as to why it suddenly cuts off at the exit. The shadow of the glass doesn't line up very well with the water, nor does the curve of the water itself.



Now for the big problem. The gameplay is very annoying. Not only do you have to wait around to enter in the right sequence, but there's also literally zero indication in the level itself or in the level info what interactions are available. Messages in the script are obnoxious, what with the "LOL" spams and demanding tone (not really something that will make your level get rejected, but it definitely makes it a lot less fun to play). Outside of the script, there's nothing to the level. Not to mention that it also looks like a reverse Tix-Mini-02.



All in all, this needs a decent bit of work before it can be validated.



-----------------------------------------



Thank you for taking the time to submit this. Please feel free to resubmit in the future once you have reworked the level.



Best,

Infinity
