To Answer your question about difficulty I’d put it between Easy Demon and Medium Demon. I’ve beaten around 90 Easy Demon Platformers and they Usually take around 1,000 Seconds. This level took me 1,450 Seconds. The first 4 Stages took me about 300 Seconds which led to 5-8 taking a while due to length.

#

Here’s my Deeper Analysis:

  1. Stage 2 should maybe have more room by the checkpoint for a short run up
  2. On Stage 3 you can skip the section right after the blue portal
  3. On stage 4 right after the the first green orb there’s a safe space to the right with no purpose, I would cut it or add a spike
  4. In Stage 5 on the left side of the screen the blue pad jump feels slightly awkward, same as the blue Pad Jump in the top Left. But that might be a me Thing
  5. The difficulty Spike between Stage 4 and Stage 5 was pretty harsh, I’d mainly assume this is from its shear Length. I’d Probably Buff Stage 1-4. If you were going for a big difficulty spike I’d still Buff it just a bit so players get an idea of what they’re getting into.
  6. Stage 6 Was Overall about as hard as Stage 5. My main issue was the jump down where you have to weave your way under the half-spike and over the mini Spike was a bit awkward.
  7. Stage 7 Was another difficulty Spike, this time reaching what I’d call low-level Medium Demon. I personally didn’t love the pink orb jumps, as they kind of felt inconsistent. Also the final yellow orbs feel slightly awkward and very unrewarding to die to, I ended up failing there 3 times
  8. The Green Orb up to the second half in Stage 7 was too high and forced you to hold jump to get past it, if that was intentional then I’d still lower the Green Orb
  9. Stage 8 Was another difficulty spike, which I think is mostly justified for being the last stage. Overall the gameplay was really good, although the half-spike head-hitter was a bit irritating. And at the Very end where you need to hop on the red pad I could not see the platform you can jump through due to it being slightly off screen.
  10. My Overall Feedback on this level is buff or extend the first 4 stages, change some jumps that are a bit awkward, and probably Nerf the last 4 slightly.
#

This was a really fun level! Sure, it was a bit awkward at times but it still was a great experience! The gameplay was not even in the bottom 3 Rated platformer Easy Demons in my opinion. With a few tweaks this Layout is set! Have a good day, thanks for giving me a challenge! XD

meager shell
#

Thank you, the ramp up in difficulty from difficulty of first 3 to last 5 is somewhat intentional

#

Wanted the first few to to be warmups to the gimmicks

dusky dragon
#

That makes sense

meager shell
#

Now let me read that awesome review lol

#

I see alot about stage 7 and I honestly agree, it is by far my least favorite room and I dont know why

#

When making that room I like hit a mental wall

#

And ran out of gameplay

#

Took a good 2 day break after room 7 to do 8

#

I may or may not redo or massively tweak room 7

#

It just doesnt flow like the rest for me idk

dusky dragon
#

I think parts of Room 7 are Great but some Tweaks would definitely go a far way

meager shell
#

Going to definitely do that tommorow when I get on gd, my favorite room is probably 5 or 6

#

8 is another not bad one but 5 and 6 are probsbly my favorites

dusky dragon
#

That’s when the level gets real, and I think it was approached really well

meager shell
#

Yeah I built 1-6 in the span of 2 days when the juices were still fresh and flowing so it flowed super nice

#

Gotta hand it to the creator of kosmonauts tho tbh as alot of the gimmicks I used were admittedly from him

dusky dragon
#

I’ll have to check out that level, this level of difficulty and gameplay style is right up my alley

meager shell
#

Yeah me too

#

Im just starting my plat journey but atm im at 25 easy demon conpletions

#

5 medium demons

#

And 1 hard demon

#

And yes I 100% reccomend checking out kosmomauts

dusky dragon
#

This month I’ve decided to do A lil challenge where I build 1 level per day, I’m calling it a Buildathon.

meager shell
#

Its nothing outwardly special but it flows so well snd it overall scratches a part of my brain and is quite relaxing

dusky dragon
#

Regular

#

Atleast so far

meager shell
#

Fun, attempting deco or just layouts

dusky dragon
#

Attempting deco as well

The ID is 130696657

meager shell
#

Brb let me play

dusky dragon
#

K

#

It’s maybe Hard or Harder difficulty

#

Also if you go to my account Day 3 and Day 5 also were fun to make both levels are a lot shorter, Day 3 is Easy and Day 5 is maybe Hard

meager shell
#

Danggg my expectations were so much lower

#

That is awesome for one day

dusky dragon
#

I spent like all day on it XD

meager shell
#

Better than what I could do in probably 3 lol

#

If at all

dusky dragon
#

It was on a cad ride 😄

meager shell
#

Mobile too? Damnnn

#

Impressive

dusky dragon
#

thanks!

meager shell
#

Going to 100% improve but you are already good

dusky dragon
#

I only started getting really good like 2 months ago

#

Beforehand I was still trying to figure out the editor

meager shell
#

3 and 6 are fs my favorite

#

3 is awesome

#

6 has that awesome cutscene thing at the end which is crazy for one day

#

I just like 3 overall, gameplay may not shine but I love the deco

dusky dragon
#

I finished at like 11:45 PM :’(

meager shell
#

Ahh haha yeah its cool

#

You can tell which took more time

dusky dragon
#

dusky dragon
#

XD

meager shell
#

My brain is playing tricks

#

Tommorow im gonna re-go through all your suggestions and edit those all and if you dont mind ill @ you or something and when you get the chance replay it to check if its a bit better

dusky dragon
#

Imma probably head to bed, it’s late where I am, but it was nice talking to you! Have a good time working on that Paltformer!

meager shell
