And last is some old screenshots...

 

Meh. The tilesets and environments are really good, but the music just ruins it for me.

Played it now and I've got to agree with Razzorman
Also, after a while the environments started to look very similar...

No.

but the music just ruins it for me.

There is some problems, like tracks playing to high but I haven't bothered to fix that.

I liked the first version and ditto on this one. I'm not quite done. I'm sure I haven't found all the secrets.
As for the music I find it highly appropriate. Some level makers use music that is sooo jarring and loud that it makes playing the game unenjoyable. I guess it's all a matter of taste. However, in my mind, your music choices are more in the same vein as the original developed by Nifflas.

Same environments? Maybe the poster was playing another level.

This is definitely not a "meh" level. The proliferation of shifting, trickery etc in recent months jades  people I think. When a level comes  along that harks back to the ks roots and doesn't have all the newest bells and whistles, people I'm afraid, consider it boring. I don't.

Great job.

Same environments? Maybe the poster was playing another level.

Eh, I didn't mean to offend... I just meant that after a while it becomes kind of repetitive  Each surface area has its underground counterpart. Each area has rectangular tiles for foreground and for background. Critters are always 1 or 2 per screen, either dangerous or harmless. All areas are connected. Etc. I know there was a lot of work put into this, I've no idea why it feels repetitive to me. I usually love Salmoneus/Elder's levels.

I thought this level was good, but there are a few things I'd like to point out that didn't really help. I didn't care at all for the music, sorry. Just not my style I guess. And also while I feel you achieved the feel you wanted for the level, the bright greens and lack of contrast in places made it somewhat uninteresting, and more importantly, gave me a headache. So good, but better music and more contrast between the greens and the foreground/backgrounds would probably make this a ton better (to me at least). Anyway, it's a good level and it's probably one of your better ones as well.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

No.

haha. way to take constructive criticism.

downloading. last version was terrific. will update when played  

I've no idea why it feels repetitive to me.

Mabye since it's green everywhere 
But the enviroments doesn't look all the same thought, for that. Each tileset is only in use for a few screens and each tileset is different. All critters and custom objects are used in specific places, same thing with other objects. Other than the whole level is green I can't think of anything else. Other then how I design my levels. 

haha. way to take constructive criticism.

yeah 

I remember playing the first one and it is indeed a very good level. The athmosphere is fantastic at times. But what did you do with the music? It's so annoying! Especially for an environmental. I think something more similar to the original music would fit this level much better and I think it would improve it.

i'm making you a bongo song 
hold on. will upload soon.

here's the bongos  
made in Reason. a bit simple but i thought they fit the level pretty well
