[2.11] Mugen - HTmega
I know I haven't been consistent on these at all, very sorry about that. I'm just super busy, and the free time I do have I'm left feeling drained.
I'll say it again, I'll try my best to get these reviews out as much as I can because I love helping fellow creators. c: Anyway, on with the review!
This is a nifty modernistic level I found while scrolling through magic. Some might say this level is dull and uninteresting, as its a pretty common style nowadays. But this one I think has some real charm to it. Even though it is mostly grayscale, it is executed nicely. I'll explain more in-depth in the decoration section of this review.
Gameplay: To start off: I love how this syncs so well. Rarely do I see this in an easier level. All the jumps sync up to the song flawlessly, and I have to give credit where it's due, so very nicely done! Getting into the gameplay itself however, It is a tad odd at a few points throughout the level. That being the timings: Some of the gameplay elements simply don't fit in a level of this difficulty.
The best example is the ball timing at 0:47, where you have to tap at the last second. I would try to avoid these timings in the future. In addition I would try to outline the structures and obstacles more, as they can be hard to see at some points. To correct this I would just turn up the brightness or add some subtle black glow and indicators to the obstacles.
Other than those minor points, the gameplay is fairly solid and has an excellent focal point on sync. Very nicely done! c:
Decoration: Some might say this is your typical, simple, modernistic style level, and while not wrong necessarily, it has some charm that makes it stand out from other levels of this style.
This is a lot more dynamic than your usual simple modern level: It has plenty of fluid movement, nicely executed color scheme, simple yet detailed background, fitting block designs, etc. Because of that I see lots of potential in HTmega as a creator, so again, very nicely done!!
My favorite part is probably the ball at 0:39. I love the shading on the cube in the background, and the block design doesn't skimp out on reflecting similar attention to detail.The colors also makes it stand out very nicely.
One thing I would add however, (and this level could really use it) foreground detail. This could be something as simple as some extra shading in the form of shapes, glow, etc. That could really make this stand out even more.
Overall a very solid grayscale modern level! Excellent work HTmega!! c:
As a mod, I would send this for a 4* Feature!
