insidius posted:Koopa's Hop on/Hop off Castle! : TLJ-TDQ-KLF J-Spot posted:I'm not usually into this kind of thing but I liked the first part well enough. Could maybe use a coin or something indicating where certain jumps are meant to occur because I often found myself bouncing on one turtle and over/under shooting the second. I did give up after the repetition got to me with not enough opportunities to practice the second part. I realize it's a speedrun level and they don't usually have checkpoints but you did say you wanted to make an easier version so... maybe add a checkpoint? Thank you for the feedback! I did not add a check point due to considering the same logic as yourself however there is no reason not to break the mould and I should I have considered it. Ive taken it down, added some coins and what not two checkpoints! That way people can speed run it if they wish but those who can't and need the practice can complete it. I also made a few sections a little cleaner and one of the end sections a fair bit easier. Clearly my ability to pick difficulty is still a bit off. Can we edit the spreadsheet after the fact? That way I can wipe the original and update it with a modified version. The modified version is Koopa's Hop on/Hop off Castle! : TN9-M17-39G Enough noise about my level, I have been playing goon levels! Calamari Clouds, Beetle Skies By: Cervixalot I tried to enjoy this but ultimately was unable to do so. I might just be worse at the game than I thought. Too many squids including firing at junctions that will essentially almost always derail you and leave it to luck, not skill for your survival. Or the shorter summary from my GF “there was way too much going on I don't like this one”. It is good that there is a checkpoint however the portion right after the checkpoint is frustrating enough that even with the checkpoint I ended up noping out after multiple attempts to grab onto a certain claw only to have a squid fire directly into the side of me insta-killing me or better still, having it spawn just underneath me kicking me out of the claw to my death. Radical Rail Shooter By: Vegastar Its a track focused level with the old school gameboy fireball power up and is focused on reflecting/getting shots into tight places to trigger on/off switches so your little platform can keep carrying you throughout the level. I really enjoyed this one. It was quite a different pace to most and I feel is one of very few levels I have encountered that truely seem to follow the idea of “Pick one idea/gadget/theme etc” and slowly ramp it up. The only issue I had with it was the second switch after the check point, but on the whole it works! I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would when I saw it tagged as "puzzle".

 I accidentally deleted my first map, so I remade it. It's like a million times better because of it maustrials No.1 9ST-225-39G The concept, like my other map, is open-world, puzzles & zelda-like poo poo. There's a good amount of routes, secrets, and it's multiplayer friendly

Rock My Socks! posted:Snake Way Yeah, sounds like I really failed to signal the path properly if the doors seemed mandatory. Probably should've added a coin path alongside the arrows. Ah well, I'm not surprised my first level was pretty bad. Out of interest because I'm considering trying a waaaay easier/simpler take on the opening gimmick, was it ever apparent that wall-jumping off the snakes was the way to hit the on/off switch and progress? I spent a while trying to figure out how to signal that whilst disincentivising simply standing on the on/off blocks but I'm pretty sure I failed miserably. Thanks for playing anyway! (Fwiw my other levels are way better/clearer, judging from clear rates, if you're feeling generous enough to check those out.)

Doomykins posted:Dry Dry Dunes Dig I played this and overall I liked it, but unfortunately I think I managed to break some of the puzzles unintentionally... specifically: The P-switch was still active when I entered the snake block room, so I just fell down and grabbed the key. I went back and played it a second time and resisted the temptation that time, but all it took to beat it on the retry was to make the beetle shell drop via the 1 snake block and I don't know what I was supposed to do with the other snakes. The bricks in the beetle room don't respawn if you reset via the pipe, so I solved it by just pushing the left shell right three times and never interacting with the rightmost shell. Some of these might actually be the intended solutions, I don't know. But it didn't really feel like it.

Thank you all so much for your feedback on The Icicle Tower in the Sand. No, there are no answers to the questions from the description. Also, while I can definitely see that there's not much going on in Boom Boom's area, I didn't feel like adding a lot would have made it better, at that point, especially if someone had difficulty making the climb itself. Though maybe a few platforms might've helped. Hmmm, probably.

It doesn't show any completions. Maybe it's just not updating correctly? Also my Maker points went down, so I assumed I was getting booed. Sorry about the trouble with the end. I tried to keep it pretty straightforward to avoid despawning but it's kind of asking the player to not get too close and also not run ahead. I had to get creative with pathing at the last part since tracks can't overlap. Thanks for playing.

Hello! I made another Mario! Gold Mine Heist FN2-B9Q-XMG I tried to make a simple vertical stage where you have to collect the keys and rob the gold vault. How dare those goombas mine out Mushroom Kingdom's natural resources! I tried to do a bit with storytelling and visual design. The level is pretty easy, with maybe one spot that's a bit annoying, but overall, I'm happy with it, and would love to hear criticism!

Same, I see that level as 4/8 liked. I also had trouble at the end, for what it's worth, and actually timed out after like four tries. Not that it mattered much since the checkpoint is right there, but you know. I think what's throwing it off is the part at the very end where I can't intuit what the correct positioning/timing is supposed to be and it results in the thwomp falling somewhere where it doesn't solve the level, and then you have to restart. The rest of the level works great, though. Meanwhile, I did another thing. It's called The Clock Tower on the Hill (RW3-448-NTG) and it's about avoiding

Hyper Crab Tank posted:I played this and overall I liked it, but unfortunately I think I managed to break some of the puzzles unintentionally... specifically: I got the P-Switch thing myself on like my 7th upload check and figured it wasn't a big deal to leave in. The other Snakes are traps and using the coins to ID where the snakes go is intended. If you use an incorrect snake it dumps hazards on you! It was funny to set up the convoluted Thwomp reposition and I think he'll even fly all the way to the bricks and solve the puzzle if you dodge him twice and are Small Mario. Beetle Room is fine, I wanted it to be solvable even if you just use the pipe a lot. Otherwise it'd be a very tedious exact frame puzzle as every so often I'd get different shell outcomes based on how fast or what pixel I touched the shell at or something. Personally I'd prefer a puzzle or obstacle has leeway or can even be mildly cheesed than to get stuck with a "do this exactly, perfectly, one pixel/frame leeway" situation so I'm happy you played it and OK with those outcomes. I was getting some creation fatigue near the end and figured it'd be better to put it up and see how it does than to chip away forever. It was really my first try at a puzzle map, thanks for playing it!

The rest of the level works great, though. Spoilered for puzzle solution:Assuming it's already through the on/off switch bays, just let the first snake block guide it to the point that it stops between then coins. For the top, activate the second snake block, for the bottom, wait for the first snake block to come back. In either case, stay far enough to the right that you don't trigger the thwomp. Sorry it wasn't more clear. I always like to do "top of the flag" puzzles and this one can actually mess up getting to the flag at all. As for your level, I beat it and now I hate time itself. Did you have to have a sawblade right off the side of the key door platform?  It's really well done and I like how you forecasted parts of the course, it was very clever. The darkness did make a couple of spots seem more difficult than they were, which was a relief when/if you discovered it. The sheer number of boos can make it pretty stressful! e: Help Im Alive posted:Anything that involves moving thwomps from their original spot is super cool to me for some reason, I really like your Make Way levels Thank you! I hope to see more of your stuff in the future as well. I revisit your course occasionally to get ideas on how to pace my levels a little better, I hope I am making progress.

Vookatos posted:Hello! I made another Mario! This was a lot of fun! I didn't realize at first that it was a pink coin level and timed out climbing back up, so maybe make the first coin more visible? I also softlocked myself trying to go down the blue pipe in the ice/ conveyor hallway as big Mario, but that's partially on me. Did that pipe do something earlier in the design? It seems like it has a purpose. The one big critique I have is that you can see the vault very soon after entering the subworld and then the level stops being about collecting coins, there are almost 100 coins not in the vault, it might be more fun if you had to collect some of them as well. I enjoyed it overall, it wasn't too easy, but there were enough powerups that you could make mistakes and still get it on the first few attempts. The design is clean and the decoration is pretty on point.

Vookatos posted:Hello! I made another Mario! This was a great level. My only complaint (and it applies to most vertical stages) is that sometimes I felt like I was leaping into a bottomless pit. Not a big deal, especially since it fits the theme. It was a lot of fun to explore.

I made some levels!! Super psyched, first time making levels and whatnot. JACKPOT!!!!!! 9N9-MSG-T9G 10 seconds to clear a one-screen full of coins. It took me about 2 hours to clear it when uploading, and then someone cleared it in less than 20 attempts, so maybe it's easier than I thought. Clear Condition Coin M3X-S3K-5JG Simple puzzle. Clear condition: 1 coin, but it's in a hidden block and if you jump anywhere other than under that block you die. There's a hint in the title and there's a hint room, so it isn't just a randomly placed hidden block though. Walking on Air FNX-FXX-CCG I'm really happy with this one. It's a set of rooms: relatively easy platforming in the above world, but then you have to do the same room in the subworld, but I use a autoscroll-stop trick to scroll the bottom 2 rows of grid beneath the screen making you do the same room without being able to see the floor. And there's a Boom Boom fight after the cleckpoint. Let me know what you all think!

I want to make a new version of that one... but Mario Maker doesn't let you upload new versions of existing stages without taking them down, and like, I get that, but still... well, maybe some day.

It gets especially difficult with things like rising lava because sometimes you have to wait for the lava to catch up and others you have to race it, so there's no way to bank time.

dizzywhip posted:Toad's Souls I expected to hate this because Dark Souls inspired usually means lovely unfair difficulty and overly long exploration heavy levels are usually kind of tedious. For the most part it was actually pretty good with some clever setups. There was one part I absolutely hated though. The hammer brother section after the checkpoint is just a mean power-up filter, and you put the checkpoint right before it so if you managed to get the starman run the first time you couldn't do it again. Maybe I could have slowly picked them off with the fire flower or backtracked to do the star run again but that wouldn't be very fun. I remember as a kid renting City Connection once and absolutely hating it. Back then when you rented a game that was probably your plan for the weekend, so getting a dud was always a disappointment. I can't avoid destroying the car in this so I didn't get very far, but kudos on coming up with a car level that's not just the same old thing. robot roll call posted:
