I don't think so but Under the Crack is a very short level

Granted. You cut your finger in a way that gave you cool looking scar and doesn't get in the way too much so you can say you cut your finger well.

I wish the fruit fly infestation at my office would go away.

(The worst thing is that I probably brought it on myself by buying cheap palm that had them in the soil so the office would feel more like forest.)

I see that you left all 50 GC editions of levels unrated. Is that because you assumed they wouldn't be different enough to be worth playing? For the ones by Shreeps that's definitely not true. They're very different experiences compared to the originals with a much greater focus on challenge. The 50 GC edition of Dark Sky of Wish Mountain also has notable content additions.

Yeah, I kept them as alt. versions unless they are different to the point of treating them separately. Thanks for letting me know about those! By Shreeps' you mean Azure Serenity Lite+ 50GC and Little Gothic Doll 50GC?

TL;DR, I played and rated every Knytt Stories level that publicly exists to my knowledge.

Overall, my hope is that this resource improves the accessibility of the archive. Downloading levels often felt like treasure hunting and I had wished that there was a resource to give me some sense of what I was getting into beforehand - so I decided to create one. Hopefully this sheet highlights those really fantastic levels that are often lost in a sea of outdated links and better helps players find the types of levels that they enjoy.
 
Disclaimer: Levels are a form of personal and artistic expression and there is value alone in that. Simply put -- a level doesn't need a reason to exist or need to conform with someone else's expectations.  I am not an authority on what makes a "good" level and it's a lot easier for me to fill in a single letter on a spreadsheet than spend hours making these levels. My ratings aren't (and shouldn't be interpreted as) some objective criteria. This is just one player's subjective experiences, looking at levels within a narrow framework, with my biases shared up front.

This sheet will be continuously updated, and ratings are subject to change as I add new levels and replay old ones. I will also likely go back and assign more specific subcategories to the N/A rated levels.

Feel free to DM me on the Nifforum / Discord or comment below if:

• you want me to replay a level
• you want to request a more detailed review of a level
• you notice a mistake
• you have a lost/missing level to add

Much appreciation to Lit Knob for compiling the list of non-archive levels and his time spent reviewing and improving the sheet, Comhon for his editing help while working on their archive project, Pie_Sniper for their spreadsheet which was cross referenced for level metadata, and Lucinda for her encouragement!


KS Level Ratings [Mastersheet]

Enjoy!

Granted. Climate change. Pollution. The threat of nuclear war. Other wars. The American election. Political corruption, malpractice and incompetence. The growing economic imbalance. Existential dread. Bad drivers. Forgetting where you put your shoes. Microplastics.

Take your pick.


I wish for everything to be ok in the end.
