I've been making a level and a difficult thing for me so far is designing obstacle the player must complete to proceed. I have no problem making them if I understand them I just can't THINK of any... I want somthing that nobody else has done you know? A trap door with spikes at the bottom? No way, that's been way over done. Jumping over fire? BORING. But I just can't think of good obstacles. It's really got me stuck. I just ain't creative enough to think of any good obstacles.

If your trying to do platforming that hasn't been done, good luck with that. It's very hard to do something unique, as just about everything has been done before. My advice would be to look to other levels, or games for inspiration. Just put your own spin on the things you build. Some good games for inspiration are Mario, Rayman, or other older well made side scrolling platformers.

It depends.If the theme is about like an adventure theme, then you should make a spinning aztec wheel that if you jump at the right time, you may live...It's pratically a spinning circle maze that has spikes of fire as death traps.Or if theres going to be a boat scene, maybe when you get on the boat and it sails to the following location, you should make like aztec like traps that you have to jump or take cover. If you want a urban kind of level, then I already thought of good ideas for that as well.As you go through like an ally, you should add like iron balconies and clothe lines to balance your way up, but the string may snap, the balconies may break or rust, and if you do fall, below, there should be a gas filled dumpster. Last, if you had an idea of a military level, then you should try to make, or use, a tank.Then you have to go through Iraq or Iran to stop a group of attackers that plan to destroy America and Iraq.but there may be some challenges on the way.like other tanks, buildings, or distractions to the following mission.Either way, try to make it as difficult as you can. So there you have it, a full list of ideas for themes of some popular choices.like I said, it depends on the theme.

I don't want to feel like I'm "stealing" sombody elses concept. You know like I don't want to get comments of people saying "This is just like so-and-so level" etc.

How about a pit of dealy gas that to get over you grab onto a piece of round sponge on a string and swing over... has that been done before? On a serious note i'm going to have to agree with what sean96sx said. My advice to you is to use an good obstacle (even if it has been time and time again) and put your own flair on it, don't get so caught up with trying to do something different and amazing. Sure if do come up with something incredible use it by all means but I think it would be much better to put more effort into transforming something quite common into something unique by means of atmosphere, how it's used or intergrate it into a level so seamlessly it amazes people while being nothing new.

if you go with a med evil theme. you can try to get catapulted over a wall that has deadly spikes all around it.
