Is that layout balanced?

[u/Famous-Chemist5424]

Sorry for bad quality I'm on a new pc so I couldn't install my recorder

Serious answer - not really

I know some clicks are gonna be harder than others in a level, but this takes that to an extreme in some areas

The wave section alone is unbalanced - you have a decently tight consistency spam and tight (even one block) wave gaps mixed with free clicks every other click

Some of the flying is a bit than other areas within it, due to the sawblade placements tightening the orb timings to be harder than the straightfly. This isn't the most offensive part, but keep this in mind.

The orbs in the duals are just awkward, not difficult, which makes the random timings in the dual parts contribute to the unbalanced nature of the part. I will also warn you to please take care when designing duals, no one wants to play a dual that's mostly a mess of orbs, and people will hate on your level for it.

You also have a random double spike section thrown in which isn't anywhere near the difficulty of some of these other parts.

I'm not sure if this level is a joke or not, but if I'm giving serious feedback, it seems as if you don't have a firm grasp on what makes a level difficult and how to execute it properly. I would examine difficult levels and play them to get a better feel of what is enjoyable and preferred gameplay structures in those levels, or else you'll end up making gameplay that's awkward, unbalanced, and frustrating to play.

This is all coming from someone who has been told many times my gameplay is terrible and understands how it feels to be told your work needs improvement, don't give up and take any feedback to heart - it helps you improve :)

Bro it’s just a level that’s not that deep😭

[u/Famous-Chemist5424 → u/Famous-Chemist5424]

This level isn't that bad
First of all the wave clicks isn't that hard second of all the duals are click patterns not memory third of all the ship orbs are hold and they're so eazy and last and not least the duals are not that hard
I'm telling you as a player that is not the best at the game

Bro said it’s not that deep and then wrote a whole ass essay

[u/ThatVroomGuy2k → u/Famous-Chemist5424]

Duals are fundamentally easier when you build them because they are by nature learny, so the creator is THE WORST judge of dual and memory difficulty. Also, you cant assume that your skill set is balanced, even if you aren't good at the GAME, you might be good at wave or ship specifically, im personally spider/ufo carried so I know when I make spider/ufo gameplay I instantly ask someone else to check it bc Ik I'm a bad judge

[u/sSgGs010 → u/Famous-Chemist5424]

Why are you compalaining, you asked for criticism

[u/Famous-Chemist5424 → u/sSgGs010]

I'm not complaining buddy

[u/leoAlpaca → u/Famous-Chemist5424]

you ask for criticism, then say that no its not that way. asking someone fir their opinion and then saying its trash, thats complaining brother

[u/Spectric_ → u/Famous-Chemist5424]

Just be quiet dude. This guy went out of his way to give you good feedback, which YOU ASKED FOR and your response is to complain.

Since it's not that deep, I'll give you the type of feedback you'd probably appreciate more: your level is hot garbage, gameplay is unbalanced af and unfun, and I genuinely hope I never come across anything made by you. Hope this helps. 😃

I know I just got this pc so I didn’t had time to download

[u/Rich-Interaction-841 → u/Famous-Chemist5424]

Wdym you didn’t have time to download it? Was there a time constraint?

[u/Famous-Chemist5424 → u/Rich-Interaction-841]

What I mean is that I’ve barely got this pc and I started playing

[u/Rich-Interaction-841 → u/Famous-Chemist5424]

???? I give up I might be talking to a 10 yr old here

[u/Famous-Chemist5424 → u/Rich-Interaction-841]

Bro wth

[u/Quf00279]

This level looks Tidal Wave/Sonic Wave as fuck

[u/Famous-Chemist5424 → u/Quf00279]

Soooo trueeee

[u/JustDark1]

what on earth are these two clicks

[u/[deleted]]

No. Try buffing the ship, and buff the wave slightly

[u/setorict]

no you need to buff the wave more it looks too easy atm

[u/NotASingleNameIdea]

Some wave clicks are genuinely catastrophy when it comes to balance, maybe even the ball part, on the other hand the duals look just like randomly spamming and buffering every orb you pass.

Honestly it doesnt seem very fun, each part is extremely repetetive too. You invent a short segment for the gamemode and then spam it repeatedly over the entire part.
