What the hell do I do when I run past all the thwomps? It's just lava!
Play this and give me some feedback.
I think this might be a think that either only makes sense to me or is super baby easy and uninteresting.
Really nice. The unreachable opening at the start gives you a hint at what you'll need to do, and the backtracking works nicely. Not to difficult either.
I liked the multiple paths at the end.

I don't understand why solid ground tiles count towards any limit at all. They're part of the scenery. They shouldn't count. Everything else sure. ? blocks, enemies, platforms, anything that moves or is interactive is fine, but a solid non moving block shouldn't count. It makes no sense really.
Finished it. Most challenging part is definitely the bottleneck near the end.

Put some work into a level. Pretty happy with it - even though I made it up as I went along, I tried to follow the principle of introducing an idea (largely meaning enemy types, behaviour and the technique of breaking bricks with shells) and then using it for a different effect elsewhere in the level. It's a pretty tough level, at least to me (I'm pretty bad at platformers), but it's also quite traditional and familiar in a way.

Any feedback would be great!

And coins are in the same 'batch' of items as blocks, so if I add blocks I can't add coins. I had to cheat and put pipes as walls because it was the only solid thing that was left for me to put, heh.
Lo' and behold, my first level! I actually ran out of ground blocks and had to get creative.
Using platforms in a way that doesn't let you stand in a place for too long.
Spent a lot of time in the visual, but I think the design is good as well. It introduces you both concepts separately, then joins them together in different ways.
There's 3 hidden 1-Ups in the level, hope you enjoy it!

Reposting for new page - need more feedback! (I think I'll do what Ferrio did and lower the last saws a bit, as well as acommodate the level from some deaths I saw on the mini-map).
Also, this below is a proof of concept? Dunno - could be really fun to expand on that - bullet bills shoot the blocks which in turns grow infinite vines and you need to avoid Zingers and other things =P. Vines follow a track that can go up and down as well.
Trying to simulate some DKC vine levels.

You need to ride on the shell that the cannon fires then jump off it to reach one of the walls.
heeeeeeeeeell no
Tap your face in the top left corner of the screen, it'll take you to a list of all levels you've uploaded. Under the screenshot of the level start there is an 'ID' button - tap it to show the code.
You have to ride with the shell. When you land there you land on a shell. Just chill during the shell ride
Now the bolded is some lateral thinking i didn't see hahahaha! I was banking on people just letting the buzzy beetle be kicked automatically and not realizing
you can hold the buzzy beetle if you start the level holding the run button
I think item hunt levels could provide excellent puzzles, so it's a good idea to keep exploring the concept.

Super fun! Great power-up positioning - as soon as I got hit by something that was a bit unlucky I got another one so it felt fair all the way through. The way the Hammer Bros and Beetles are positioned is also super intuitive, so good job.
My only real gripe is the Thwomp right before the bosses. When you're running up the platforms your instinct is to continue jumping, but then an off-screen Thwomp hits you. If you're small that means a death.
Otherwise, really good course.
I finished my first course! Originally it wasn't going to be too tough but... yeah I got carried away. I think its still fun though!

I thought this one wasn't gonna be tough, but a few adjustments made this a pretty good challenge! If there's one hint I'll give, its this: The key to succeeding in this level is listening to the sound cues, and knowing what they mean! ALSO, HOLD THE DAMN DASH BUTTON!

Did you have fun?
Finished it. I really enjoyed how the bullets filled the screen and added tension without being overwhelming. Nice level.
Yes, never felt unfair but still challenging.
Build my first castle. Difficulty wise, it's nothing completely hard, but definitly not that easy. Could be a mid to end castle in a normal Mario game. Feedback appeciated.

Weirdly, I thought the Thwomp was onscreen. Must have just been subconsciously seeing it when testing. I'll get on that when I get more time to play. Thanks

I just got this. How long does it take to unlock the SMW set? Also, how do I see the tracing ghost in the creator of where Mario has jumped and moved?

I think the camera didn't scroll up fast enough, then. Something like that.
I forgot the days, but you can get all the sets in maybe an hour or an hour and a half if you do the block placing trick. The tracing ghost is one of the unlockable features. You will see a small little Mario button on the lower left that lets you turn the tracing ghost on or off.
Alright I played a page worth of levels, here's the ones that stuck out to me;
Good pacing and design, the kind of levels I wish I would get more of in the 100-Mario challenges. I feel like there maybe should be an extra threat near the end, you can kinda just bolt through it since the piranna plants don't spawn quick enough.
This is excellent. I haven't played many puzzle levels, but this one is short and clever. I want more!
Really cool callback to ghost house levels. I would change the beginning though, it's a bit too cramped with the ghost circle and the big Dry Bones'. I would also maybe take off a layer of the p-switch/block thing or shorten that area just to speed things up. Otherwise it was great, like that the p-switches respawn if you mess up, and especially love the leap of faith at the end.

Could someone please give my level a try? I spent a long time on the koopa puzzles, but I've only had one person play it.

Finished it. The pacing at the beginning is a bit frustrating, it slows you down. I also reached a dead end after getting hit and I had to restart the level.
Where was the dead end? At the swirling flames at the end?

Without reading any of the reviews, how is this game and does it justify the $60 price tag?I've played some Mario (i.e 64 and I think a couple of GameBoy advance ones) is this game worth getting if Im a casual to the series?

I guess it depends on how much you enjoy platformers and if you have any interest in designing your own levels. For me it's worth it, because I enjoy the hell out of 2D Mario and this is basically unlimited 2D Mario. It also lets me make levels, which is really fun as well.
If you don't enjoy 2D platformers though, then no.
Some tidbits I've learned:
-Instead of equipping a helmet by dropping it onto your head, you can just hold it/carry it and press down. Doesn't work with SMB1 since no carrying.
-Helmets can also dissipate fireballs.
-You can carry items through the doors, including p-switches (don't think it was like this in original games, could be wrong though).

Finished a few new courses if anyone is interested. All these courses are intended to be only lightly challenging, trying to focus more on Mario-style platforming over pixel perfect precision.

Ghastly Ghosts: E1A0-0000-001E-3435

If anyone happens to play these I would, of course, love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you! I'd like to make more puzzles with the SMB1 set, as they have really strong limits on interactivity.
This game us making me like SMB's limits more and more.
Finished it. It's not too hard. It's fun.
Awesome, albeit a little evil,design.

Just had a go. It's a fun level. Decent challenge. You just need to be patient and play smart. Good job.
There is also the Koopa in the other block. Should I add another one or put the mushroom at the bottom?
for the EU crowd that was asleep while i was still up making my third level, here it is: AADE-0000-001B-12DD
level's called 'a song of ice and fire', feedback would be very appreciated!
gonna be gone the next few hours so i'll try and catch up on some of the new levels then!

Man, this takes me back to my school days where I used to draw levels at the top of my exercise book. This is so much fun!
My first try, if anyone is interested: 601D-0000-001F-13D0
