[131] F is for Fire

[Rockythetigre]

Fire is dangerous!

Uh, here's the level I build. It's not really finished since my intended way of getting the secret exit did not make that much sense. So it's either going to be just 1 exit, or I'm using another way to make the berries useful.

I hope you enjoy it! I'm indecisive whether the name will be F is for Fire or ohmygodimonfire.

It's clear there was very little effort put into this level.

The first half is acceptable but the lava palette is awful and the thwimp and ball n chain have gfx garbage.

The second half has garbage graphics and garbage palette. There's no consistent theme, it feels really bizarre.

I hate to be harsh but this is not an acceptable level. Please revise it.

I like this level, although I do question why does No Yoshi level has Yoshi in it, and the fact you can get stuck here if a player is stupid and spinjumps a shell. Sure, the level is very Youtubish, but that's not a problem for me.

and garbage palette

Is... it really that bad? I mean, it's not a palette a good level would have, but aterraformer gave an implicit explicit approval on bad palettes "so long as they don't hurt eyes at least."

There is a consistent theme from what I've seen, stuff is on fire, simple as that.

I didn't see a theme of things being on fire in the first half minus lava and weird gfx replaced podoboos, and it's twice as long as the second part. The jumping flames don't really give an impression of things being on fire since it's an unmodified sprite and nothing else in the level indicates it as well.

The palettes could be worse but there's no reason for them to be bad. If the level was being satire or avant-garde it'd make sense but it just comes off as poor design here. My guess is he doesn't know how to edit palettes properly or something.

For the most part I find no issue with the first half. You could extend the gfx replacements of things being on fire to the first, or have an explanation of why stuff catches on fire in the second.
