I don't think Donnyku's Shadow should be on there. It's a somewhat bad edit, it has a cheap homing thok, and now there is a better Shadow. (Dr.Pepper's ShadowRE.)

OK.
Pros:
- Length is good
- Fair difficulty, and not cheap
- A special path for Tails
- Texturing is unique
- Pretty straightforward
- Plenty of hidden teleporters and secrets
Cons:
- Knuckles has it easy
- One secret is so odd to trigger that I don't think anyone would find it
- Occasional framerate lag
- Apparently that glitchy Star Post (I haven't confirmed this)
I will fix that Star Post thing when I have time, though.
Alright, SonicMaster. You are putting up your own level and bragging. Because you are bragging, I am naturally approaching this with less slack than I would otherwise. Consider me a critic.
Obviously, you're telling yourself the level is good because it matches up with everything you've heard about level design from sources which provide more of a checklist than actual advice. The visual design reflects the community's general emphasis on gameplay over graphics. However, such bare-boned graphics imply a major stress on gameplay, which there isn't. Most of the gimmicks rely on killing the player. For example, forcing the player towards their doom (with currents or conveyor belts) and making them avoid it. The only times when you aren't trying to kill the player are during simple platforming, which isn't that much fun either. Do you honestly enjoy playing this yourself?

OK, you've answered me, and that's all I wanted.
EDIT: Wait a minute, you ASKED me for the pros and cons of my level. You don't make any sense.

Adding to this. Donnyku's Amy shouldn't be on there either. It doesn't look that great, and we have Dr. Pepper's AmyRE now.
I wanted to know what you thought about your own level. After I saw what you said, I wanted to bring something else to your attention. Do you still think I'm unreasonable?SonicMaster said:
In regards to Shadow, I played both Donnyku's and Dr. Pepper's versions, and I detest both of them for not having running frames.
As far as Amy goes, it feels like Dr. Pepper did do justice to Amy, but having a thok is odd.
It has not to do with rejecting my level. You said I was bragging. Even in that PM I sent you, I still don't feel I was bragging; I just said I thought it was good enough. Emphasis on the words I thought, too, just to avoid any other misunderstandings from anyone reading this. =/
