Design Fun Creativity Aesthetics Functionality Skip Teleporter? 6 / 15 5 / 10 6 / 15 4 / 5 4 / 5 No It's an okay level, but there are some rooms with very questionable design decisions which kind of bring the whole thing down for me. Mainly the part with the needles and ladders. It's fine until the New Shotman, which just cheap shots you sometimes if it feels like it and just keeps knocking you down over and over and gets you killed in an otherwise easy level. The other problem screen is the one with the double New Shotmen - I have no idea how to dodge anything there, and considering it's right after a miniboss fight you might be low on health and immediately die. Other than those two screens, the level isn't really anything special - it uses like every asset related to Mega Man II (the gameboy one) but I don't think they were used that interestingly, with the exception of the crash man lifts. It's just kind of a level that exists that's all like "hey remember what was in that one gameboy game"? I feel like more could have been done with this concept, really. Also the transition from Top Man to Quint is kind of broken? Idk what you did.

Design Fun Creativity Aesthetics Functionality 7 / 15 5 / 10 10 / 15 3 / 5 3 / 5 This stage was...okay I guess? There was nothing particularly special about it, really, but it was kinda fun while it lasted. However, in the underwater section, it was a bit hard to tell what was a block and what wasn't, and the Crash Man platforms went out of sync really easily. The Yoku block puzzles would have been fine by themselves, but the fans sent them over the edge in difficulty compared to the rest of the level. The screen transition after the Top Man boss was really weird and I think you forgot to place tiles under the vertical boss doors :V

Design Fun Creativity Aesthetics Functionality Skip Teleporter? 8 / 15 9 / 10 12 / 15 5 / 5 5 / 5 No The plot in this level is what made it for me tbh. Throwing Mega Man into this timeline like that is pretty silly and while it is just the same few rooms over and over with a slight twist on it I found myself just smiling at the charm nonstop. I wonder how this level could've done more to mix things up. It tries its best by introducing elements like water and quicksand, though I found them to be more of a hassle than an addition to the formula, and while it did shake the environment up it went away before I was able to get accustomed to it. In a sense, I like the janky, rapidly changing environment that tries to get in the player's way over and over with different methods, I'm just thinking if there was a layout that would've allowed for more customisation between seasons... Sorry for rambling. Really fun level!
Garirry  : something / 50
Design Fun Creativity Aesthetics Functionality 6 / 15 6 / 10 10 / 15 3 / 5 5 / 5 It's kinda meh. It's nothing too cheap or unfair, but it just doesn't feel like it's well built, with the stage layout and enemy placement being kinda random. I admit it was enjoyable. However, playing through the same design four times was kinda irritating. I really liked the concept here and I'm kinda surprised that nobody else used it. I liked the main idea behind the boss choice. It could be better. There are tiles that are just placed at random, and other broken tiles... Works just fine. It's a nice little stage. I liked the main concept behind it and I'm surprised that the seasons gimmick wasn't used in any other level. I also liked the boss choice and mini-plot. However, this level has many problems. Looking at the primitive stage layout as well as the bad enemy placement, I can say that I don't like the level design here. Additionally, I felt that getting through the same stage with minor variations four times was tiring. Also, the tiles are really broken and don't look good at times. Decent level overall, but it could be better.
ACESpark  : 28 / 50
Design Fun Creativity Aesthetics Functionality Skip Teleporter? 8 / 15 6 / 10 7 / 15 4 / 5 3 / 5 No Fairly generic level overall. There is nothing noteworthy and wrong with it, but equally no-where are the boundaries pushed enough to make it feel fresh. When your most interesting setups are replicating Magnet Man's Yoku Blocks (but worse) and sticking Hot Dogs underwater, you know you have a fairly generic level overall. In all fairness, you do offer a few new setups on some of the existing gimmicks, they just aren't that interesting. I get what you're going for - you're trying to make this feel like a Wily stage - fair enough. The problem with mimicking the WIly stages from the earlier Mega Man games is though, well, not to beat a dead horse - they're generic. There are a few problem spots though - I am not sure the Yoku Block segment was handled well - the way the Magnets are placed means the player is constantly swapping between polarities and Magnets having no effect - it's disorienting, and I feel after a couple of attempts, most people will just give up there and use Super Arrow. The second set of Yoku blocks is.. also incredibly pointless - seeing how you don't even start that area low enough to use half the blocks there, and basically just have to wait them out. Another issue is that pits are... not in any way made clear that they are, in fact, pits, which is always a major annoyance. Another issue is - you set up the odd interesting optional challenge, and your reward - is bolts. This will leave players feeling fairly jipped, since Bolts really are not enough of a reward for tackling these areas. This contest has Noble Nickels as a collectable, you really should've used them over bolts! There are also a few busted screen-transitions. One of which you come across very easily whilst playing, so not sure how that was missed. Last but not least, I have to say: Hello! Hello! Hello! Three dev-kit bosses for the price of one! What they add to the level is beyond me.... but they don't exactly hurt it either, so all is fair. They at least fit the stage's situation.
