Okay, I played your level just now. I liked the custom graphics and the overall theme of it :) Also, the first part of the game has a very well balanced difficulty (it gets harder progressively, but stays consistent). The second part is a mixed bag for me. It has some clever puzzles, but there are screens that are WAY harder than the rest, especially...

I also have another big complaint:

Spoiler: Last part of the level (click to show/hide)

As for the spelling and grammar... well, I obviously cannot criticize you, as I'm not a native english speaker :P  However, I think it would be much better if you didn't use abbreviations like "rly" in the dialogues. They might cause the player to not take the dialogues seriously, as if they were jokes or something funny... and it seemed to me that your story is more on the serious side.

Overall, despite those problems, I liked your level. For the most part, it's well designed and some challenges are pretty clever. It is also pretty difficult, with some parts that could be probably considered as of "Lunatic" difficulty. I think that if you tuned these parts a bit and removed the abbreviations on the dialogues, your level would be a really good one :)  Keep up the good work!

Cool, I'll give the new version a try later :D

UPDATE:

Well, what do you know... after lots and lots of failed attempts yesterday, now I try again and finally beat the boss... on my second try. Definitely, yesterday wasn't my lucky day. Also, playing while being filled with rage doesn't help... at all X)

I re-played the last part with the new version, and now the final battle is much less frustrating :)  I noticed you actually added an autosave for each form of the boss, instead of just one after the second form. I think it would have been fine with just that one autosave I suggested, but this will probably make the game accessible to more players. Now, I would say this level is of Hard or Very Hard difficulty.

Spoiler: About the ending... (click to show/hide)

Anyway, good work :)  This is a fun and very challenging level (a bit frustrating on some parts, but manageable). You people should give it a try.

PS: If you want, I could try to help you re-write the english text and remove the abbreviations... but keep in mind I'm not a native speaker, so the result might not be good enough.

Nice.
Screen x1002y1001 needs a save point. x1005y1008/x1005y1000 need it too.

I liked the premise and loved the dream world, i.e. the first part of the first part (:crazy:) of the level. It all went downhill from there.

As for the second part, I completely agree with Vegetal Gibber: very difficult stuff, and eh, the music and the visuals were disappointing after the first part of the game. Also, I haven't figured out how to get to

UPDATE: Oops, didn't realize there's a new version. Will check it later.

And yes, I do recommend playing the "Boss fixed" version. It makes the last fight MUCH less frustrating, believe me :P

It won't make the level easy, it will remove the annoyance of running through non-challenging (x1003y1001 is relatively non-challenging) screen to get to the challenging one from save point.

Compeleted.

I've got to say the very beginning of this level is amazing.
the lovely BGM reminds me the NES era.XD
