I like it, the ground could use more variation, and there are a few tile errors in the grass, and on the cliffs (like behind the building and to the right side). Overall, not bad

"too many errors"??
wtf mate
I see a few here and there, but i agree with oozaru...they're pretty minor
I'm not saying they shouldn't be fixed, but it's not so many that I look at the lvl and call it bad

I circled in red the only errors I saw.
the rest, far as I can tell, is from the tileset being a couple pixels off here and there for getting some tiles to work together - and the only way to smooth them out, and get this desired effect, is to make custom tile fixes to satisfy the perfectionists.

The level looks good. I like your attempt at the cave/waterfall combination, but I think it could have been done better (I can think of a few tiles that could have given it less of an error look). Errors on the cliff tiling on the bottom. A few mistakes in the grass. Border to the cliff is missing the proper tile. A few other things. I'd give it a 6/10 because it was a neat concept.

The level looks really nice, I think the cliffing around the waterfall loks a little bit too messed up though.

Great job though!

perlaps fix the tiling up just a tad. also where you cut off part of the pillar leg. maybe even use a graphic program such as ms-paint (works great) or photoshop to make a graphic to show it either decaying away or the rock falling over it some. It would look nice. maybe a rock here or there out in the water. *shrug* youd have to see how it looks. Also maybe try to find a stand for the bottom of the fire upfront. not a bad concept though. i like, again...maybe just touch up a few times

There are many errors in the level but apart from that, the shadow you used is excellent and very uncommon as it is often seen as unimportant. I tend to use shadowing to a good extent in my levels, i've circled the shadow effect I love:

lol he said "wtf mate" i find that funny xD.


but anyways some tile errors would make a level better in some ways.
It takes sacrifices to make great levels like his and you would have to take that risk in order to finish it

Anyhow I think it's irrelivant to point out the errors in this level since the creator probely noticed them but didn't care to fix them (gosh why am I even talking.. I just wanted to shoot DARKVILLIN )

And if he didn't notice, he still won't fix them because Elk's work is "perfect" in his eyes, and he's too good to except comments and critique.

Oya! xD However, there are no Kangaroos in England. Plenty of cliffs though, anyone's free to walk off them. Infact, it's a public right.

you should think before you type and make a jackass out of yourself. I was a support statement, I mean clearly since you did not understand it, i will go into further detail just for you. Why I said it? As I already said before but you might need to hear it again...It's a positive statement towards his work but saying everyone has flaws. Actually everyone might not think this. It all depends on who is viewing the work. That level could be perfect to a new commer to graal who knows nothing about tilesets. Some of the graphics artists, I think some of their work is perfect, yet others see flaws in them. So if you're going to try to put down someone, at least be creative about it. I mean you could have quoted me and said "Heres your sign."

Looks good. True there are a few tile errors - no matter how minor it is, it's still a tile error.

7/10
