You made a pretty good first level.

Somehow I managed to get nearly 100 new stars in the last three days. I guess a lot of people got this game for Christmas.

Thank you. :) I'm surprised only you and one other person have beaten it; I didn't think the level was too hard. I'm making a second one now and I think it's a lot better!

You'd be very surprised how good most Mario players are. My level, "Plain Simple Plains", was specifically designed as an easy level for beginners and I think it's only at a 68% clear rate. The level only has two pits in it. Even my level, "Missing Switch Palace!", which has no way to actually kill you doesn't have a 100% clear rate.

It makes creating levels that people will play through the whole way and star very difficult.

Yeah, I guess some people just have no patience and only want to "play" auto levels or something. :-\

I finished my second level! I put a lot of effort into it, so I hope you like it. :D

That was a tough one, but it was very creative. That burner section was really nail-biting, especially.

Thanks! ;D I'm sure most of the stuff I included has been done before, but I just really want to make interesting levels. In the end, I used every single available ground tile in both sections of the stage.

I just hope it wasn't too hard; I included checkpoints in an attempt to keep it from being frustrating. Wasn't trying to make one of those dumb troll levels.

Been busy lately, will hopefully get back to this game and finish some levels I left as works in progress months ago soon.

Since more people have the game I've been noticing a lot more levels worth playing. Less garbage and Kaizo levels and more people making legit tough and fun levels.

I still won't touch expert mode again, though.

That's great! I never got to play the e-reader levels despite owning one of the blasted things back in the day. :il_hahaha: I'm excited!

What happened to Talon, anyway? He just kind of disappeared...

I recently put out a bunch of new levels, if you guys haven't tried them yet. They seem reasonably popular for someone who doesn't have a youtube channel or a social media platform of some kind, I guess.

I will need to try them soon! Aside from hanging out with my friends on Sunday, I've been too busy to play any games for the past couple weeks, though. :( I really want to make more Mario Maker levels too!

You know what would be a cool feature? If you could send levels to your friends for playtesting before you actually upload it for everyone else. I think I've replayed some of the ones I'm working on a million times just to see how bad I can cheese some levels.
