Snow Machine is a small holiday-themed Knytt Story I've put together in the past week or so. Special thanks go to beta-tester sergiocornaga for his error-checking and input. I hope you all enjoy it!

It doesn't take very long to complete, and only contains 17 screens. I'm happy with it for a first level, and I had fun with the creative process and finding my way around the editor.
Please leave your feedback on the level, be it positive or negative!

The past few days I've been thinking of ideas for a Knytt Story. I've never designed one before (only followed the tutorial and made a 3-screen test).
I made a list of things I want the level to be:
-Environmental, no enemies - in the vein of Rain or A Walk at Night, two of my favourite Knytt stories.
-easy gameplay based around jumping to get past obstacles
-Small - 2 to 3 'zones'
After deciding these parameters I had to think of a story to fit this. This afternoon I hit upon the idea (seeing as today's a lovely day for a picnic) of Juni being invited to a picnic. This gives a goal to move towards, and the potential for at least 2 zones (Juni's home - suburban or a village; and a rural area where the picnic is being held).
Once I have preliminary sketches I'll post them in this thread. It's a little daunting seeing as I've never designed a level for anything before, but it's something I really want to try.
