This is my first decent level, and I've been working on it since October. It's only been in the last few weeks that I actually started to like what it was turning out like. The layout of the level has been altered countless times, but I think I'm finally happy with it.

First, I would consider renaming this. Try doing a search on "Winter Wonderland". There are hundreds of levels with the same name.

Overall I would say that this is a fun level with a lot of different elements. I don't think I would quit working on the look of the level, however. There are several places where you can see through the walls such as, the beginning of the level and, at the top of the part with the camouflage wheels. I also think that you used too many corners on some of the terrain. I would rapidly push the delete button while using the corner editor tool on some parts of the level. Then, other places are wide open with strait lines. I think that bringing together the elements of your level to a continuous whole would greatly improve the feel.

I would also try and stick to your theme. Things such as the camouflage wheels didn't really fit your overall theme. Is this a "winter wonderland" or a bunker? I know that there was supposed to be a snow melting machine but I didn't know that I was entering the bunker of an evil madman until way after all of the bunker style elements. I'm still not sure if that was your intention or not. I would try and make it more clear as to what is going on in the story and where you are in that story. Try to draw the player more into the action of the story as it unfolds.

I hope you don't think I'm being harsh. Just offering my perspective. I hope it helps.

Thank you for your feedback

I have republished the level with a few alterations like you suggested. You can no longer see through the walls, and the terrain is smoother. I decided to completely remove the bunker part, and what I have replaced it with fits in a lot better.

I also fixed a bug which I found in time trial mode where the snowman by the scoreboard had his magic mouth activated while going up in the elevator.
