Topic, Level "Jumping Adventures", game "Jump Gear 2"

  I think it comes a time in most designers time here where they make a level that's based too much on design. This was certainly my case, and I think that's happened here too. But this is how we all learn and become better designers. :)

By the way, I think the thumbnail looks great! It clearly shows what the level's about, and you can tell before even looking at the title it's going to be a jumping challenge type level :)

  Treazer, i believe you shouldn't start from 1/5 or 5/5, but from 3/5. But it all depends on the person.

And this is nonsens as it's free to everyone to choose how to judge.

  In my opinion, giving a 3/5 isn't bad, tho I think matthijsM should elaborate more. Not only him, but when you rate a level badly explain why; it's called feedback.
It helps designers to become better, and even if you rate 5/5, it's still a good idea to explain why; it gives the leveldesigner motivation to keep on going.

  It's 60/100, 600/1000 etc.. but that doesn't change anything. I didn't say you cannot rate what you want, it's just an unfair rating. And there can't be opinions about the ratings ( 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5 ), there can only be opinions about the level. I understand that you think the level hasn't got a good gameplay, but you shouldn't start counting with 1/5, count from 5/5 and make "minus points". E.g. 5/5, good design ( nothing changes ), fulfills the concept of a highscorefight ( nothing changes ), not a very good gameplay ( -1 ). So we've got 4/5, are there any more minus points you have?

  treazer I can rate what I want and I only rate 3, 4 and some times 5 if it is perfectly and a nice gameplay so 3 isn't that bad it is still 6/10

  If 1-3 ratings are unaccaptable levels, why do we even have those ratings. To me only 1 represents unacceptable.

Design isn't everyyhing. If it was, i would make a straight line, and then the bg around it.

  Here's how I look at things:

It's up to each individual to decide how he/she wants to interpret the rating system. There is no universal law on how to use the rating system fairly, except for the mentioned 1/5-rating.

Personally I don't concider Matthijs' rating unfair, though that doesn't necessairly mean I agree with his rating.

But of course you are entitled to have your own opinions, Treazer.

  I didn't say he isn't allowed to, but I think it's an unfair rating. And 3 is low. 1-3 are bad ( the most levels with the quality 3/5 shouldn't be accepted ). And he can have his opinion, but like you said "1/5 ITS TOO HARD" would be an opinion too and it's unfair. Like 3/5 is. If this level wouldn't be well designed, 3/5 would be okay. It's just not the best gameplay and it doesn't deserve a 3.

  People are allowed to give the rating they want.

Of course you should judge about bakground gameplay design originality etc. "1/5 ITS TOO HARD" is one of the most annoying things a designer can meet.

But still. 3 isnt that low, and if that is matt's opinion let him have it.

  I also think that the gameplay isn't very good, but a 3? It's way too low.

  boring, but nice background looks like you deserve a 3

  I have to agree with dingdong, but "worst" sound like "bad". It's not bad, it's just not the best level you've made. Btw, I see your level "UndUndUnd (Und)" seems to be better again, keep works like this up.

  This is your worst level up to now (nit that it says much; you make awesome levels)

But theres no gameplay, and even though the design's nice, its way to repetive.

Hope to see more from you.

  Thanks for the feedback!

@SuperMario
I hacked both of them.

  She hacked the 2nd lethal curve.

  I like the design, but I would have liked to see a bit more variation in the game-play. But I guess it's good for an HSF. 4/5

  I think you should have developed the gameplay a bit more, but I guess I can accept it as it is as well. The design is nice :)
