Arrow Have a glance!

Okay well this is a hat shop. The hats inside wont be sold in this shop, as half of them will be saved for Xmas. I just put some hats so you can see where they all go!

Usually the symertical identical levels dont look too nice, but I think this works fairly well.

It started out as normal castle tiles, but looked better as ice. Ideally this level would be great with Bravo's Ice Tiles. But even though they were orginally made on/for rudora, I dont have permission to use them, so this will have to do.

The desk at the top needs to be edited a bit, for the walls around it to match. I think this would be cool as a dark level with some lights. ANyway feedback....

It works pretty well with the water like this, with the water I do with the lights:

It makes it more appealing and less boring anyway!

Now that's what lights randomly placed around the level should look like. 8.5/10

The level making isnt bad but as a hat shop it looks bad. I mean the level doesnt look like a shop. It looks more like something you would see in Waldo's house of fun or some other Theme park. Maybe find some way to make it look more shop like than a room out of a fun house?

There is no predifined look to a shop. It can look however u want it to, depending on the outside of the building.

I see what you're saying Mad, but there are no set rules.

In this level, I actually like the symmetry, it was used well. One little thing is where the lights of the water went up onto your table... it's nothing big, but the blue on the brown is just too obvious. Move it up a few places .

On a side note, I hope you don't do those lights on the water all over Rudora, as nice as it is I hope it's not overused.

Yes it is a good level and I didnt mean completely redo it. But just perhaps find a few things to add to make it look more shop like. Not sure what exactly but it just looks like something is missing.

Its in 3 places so far:

1.) That level
2.) The survivor island start house
3.) At the top of a mountain (Aftershock has seen that)

Yeah I sharn't over use it. And I moved that light

I think the main problem is it’s big. Secondly the ice tiles, they just make most levels look weird, as there aren't enough tiles, so you are limited to what you can do

Also possibly because of those little island sections of show and water! But I just did that so that I didn't have to fill the whole level with the same floor. =D

Yes thats probably it. I usually try to avoid the snow and ice tiles because of how limiting it is. x.x

Thumbs up

Very nice use of the castle tiles and the house floor tiles. It's rare to see the house floor tiles used in a level and make it look good.
There seems to be a few tile errors here and there. I'm not sure if those were mistakes or if you intended them to be that way.
The only parts I don't like is the water and snow being in an inside level.

Rate: 6.5/10

Didn't you you were waiting for one! In that case i'll get my creative hat on and think up something that hasn't been done before, or if not, just make a level.

ok wow...i saw that and was like omg... . thats amazing. 9/10. I love the walls, great use of the tiles. Everything in it is placed well, and the tiling is really interesting. The lights are done subtly and absolutely perfectly. They don't flash at you and give you a ceizure, but they're there, and add to the level. The floor in the middle is pretty cool, and everything around it is just really nice looking. Plus, there are no tile errors....until you ask Knuckles lol.

Also, that happens to me to. I made this really cool looking inside, well for me lol i'm not very good at level making...and the level died for some reason =/.

I jut like your level style alot. I hope your still making some levels for Rudora.Cant wait until that's released if it has all of it's levels at this quality. I really like the lighting effects in the water. You put those in almost all the water you make,and it makes it lok 10 times better =P

I cant because of the PWA job. But Rudora is in good hands with Wan who makes REALLY good levels, infact they should show some. Anyhow my levels are on there from when I worked there. And those light effects are used nicely on a mountain thing in some water...

I made the mountain level...
