Does it have anything to do with, El Dorado? - The city of gold?And it looks nice.
I think it's a hole in the boat.
Then why don't you edit tileset, so boat would be 'higher' ?
I really think that you don't need permission for that kind of modification.
I really like the atmosphere and general look of these screens. The transition, in the second screen, from the background to the inside of the cave, looks a bit strange, though. Still - definitely a level to look forward to.
It is nice - I want to play it a bit more Now time for some criticism - The level has some "sudden deaths" after going to a new screen (like in x991y1001).- The Photo realistic backgrounds are nice, but the mixture of the "knytt"-like backgrounds and photo realistic-backgrounds in the same level feels strange.
