Answer 1

This is coming from probably the most casual Dustforce player on Atlas, but coating everything in spikes and sticking some prisms in doesn't really make a fun level, or even a hard level. It makes an annoying level. Regardless of difficulty, what people look for in a level is at least semi-decent flow, and hovering around whacking prisms doesn't give that, especially if you have to be slow doing because there's spikes two inches in every direction.

Learn from these, i hope your next map is very different from this

Answer 3

That part where I spread dust awkwardly. Nope, Nope, Nope.

Answer 4

fish fish fish fish fish

Answer 5

would SS if the teradrop wasnt in this.

Answer 6

Honestly, without the tera drop this level isn't particularly difficult and flows reasonably well. Even the room with the forced dust spread has a fairly elegant fast solution.

Answer 7

And the tera drop is just begging to be worked around

Answer 8

I liked your first map much better

Answer 9

Gotta agree with homeburger. You have pretty good spatial understanding but these levels feel kinda bland. I don't believe it's necessarily the lack of decorating but moreso in the way you limit the playstyle with spike maze designs. I'd suggest looking into how the difficults are constructed or other popular challenging customs for a more open feel.

EDIT: Beginning was pretty fun tho.

Answer 10

Blind drop to start, pretty bad visibility, but not terrible. Learn what makes a challenging map, not one that is hard for the sake of being hard. If you can't SS your own map, it probably means you shouldn't submit it.

Answer 11

not sadistic enough!!!

Answer 12

I SS'd this with the Tera drop and didn't cheese it. I want my fish damn't :x

Answer 13

fish fish?

Answer 14

Where are my fish?
