Yes, it only has 32 plays........ Yes, I'm well aware that by the time I get home from work today, some angry, Jelous kid is going to rate it 1 star to bring it down a notch...... But for 1 day anyway I can bask in the warmth that comes when seeing your first 5 star rating...... The level that has brought me this joy is called "PINBALL WIZARD 2" and I'll stick it in the level showcase section when I get a chance to upload some pics....... But for now..... I'll just enjoy my day of happiness

It's a fully functioning pinball table with the player hidden. Everything is built from scratch, including some of the switches used, apart from the actual ball itself of course for which I used a golf ball. It's the most complex level I have built to date as I have set switches to recognise if the ball breaks not to count it as one of your three balls and there are randomiser switches hooked up to give out different prizes each time you get the ball in the "mystery box" and various other little things. Its just so nice to see my hard work being rewarded with a little thank you of 5 stars. I know the old 5 star rating won't stay around for too long so I'm I'm just savouring the moment Oh... actually I did use a really nice font called "sack sans" not sure who the creator was though........

Congrats to you Mr. Wexfordian I hope one day to get that glory - but today is your day I hope that the jealous kid stays away for a bit (even though all the best levels are rated 4 stars )

Congrats. I had a 5-star level for about 50 plays or so, but then it got on MM's hearted list and quickly dropped to three. I expect it's because the general public has less appreciation for its out-of-the-ordinary gameplay than the group of creators that played it at first. But MM awarded it five stars when they posted it, so I'm quite happy with the level just the way it is, 3-stars and all!

Well I was right in the end...... It made it to about 150 plays before sinking back to a 4 star..... Oh well.... It was nice while it lasted though.....

Well I was right in the end...... It made it to about 150 plays before sinking back to a 4 star..... Oh well.... It was nice while it lasted though..... I can relate man... I can relate. My most popular level is 3 stars now... I know it's not the best music level out there, hell, it's not even my best... but 3 stars?! Come on. I guess after awhile of being on the front page, people start to rate it down carelessly. It's my Starfox music level if you want to know. But I still have 2 levels on the third page of Highest Rated, so I'm still happy.

Yeah, i completely understand your joice wexfordian!! I had the same thing with my levels of the Bearer Series. They all start with 5 stars for about 50-60 plays. I had a great feeling!! They are now all 4 stars, but i think it is a pretty good rate

In the end, it's almost impossible to get a 5 star rating, because there are people who intentionally rate good levels down and call them rubbish. But there is a good side, I guess. When we DO get a 5 star level, it will feel much more rewarding!

Ahhh too bad wex. 5 stars is nigh impossible. My first level is rock-solid on 5 stars for some reason but this is truly an exception. The second one, certainly of the same, and I think better quality hasn't risen above 4 stars, ever. I'ts got about 800 plays now and I think it won't ever be higher... ah well, when everyone you here from enjoyed it, that's satisfying too right?

Yeah, those jerks out there will do that.... The worst part is, if someone attempts to H4H your level and you don't heart theirs, they'll go back to your level and rate it 1 star a lot.

Yeah i played both pinball wizards today. There's some minor issues with the second one though There's dark matter visible on the left-most flippers. Also, the camera angles when you get bonusses, or secrets doesn't quite capture what's happening, not sure if that's fixable. Also, i believe the heart has a visible magnetic switch on the top. And i wondered why it gave so little points, while it's so hard to get up there Also, i broke a ball when i shot it straigth at the heart, i believe it hit the bottom "spike" part if you know what i mean. Also, the 20X! doesn't make a applause sound, pretty sure that was supposed to happen though. They looked cool though, and i really enjoyed both of them.

First thanks for having a look. There's dark matter visible on the left-most flippers. Fixed this now. Also, i believe the heart has a visible magnetic switch on the top. And i wondered why it gave so little points, while it's so hard to get up there Can't believe I didn't spot this! Fixed now and I'll see what I can do about increasing the points given Also, i broke a ball when i shot it straigth at the heart, i believe it hit the bottom "spike" part if you know what i mean. Theres not much I can do about the ball breaking as if I set the flippers to a slower level it slows the whole game down and is not as fun. I have however set up a system where it recognises the ball is broken and respawns you one without losing a life. Also, the 20X! doesn't make a applause sound, pretty sure that was supposed to happen though. Thanks. Fixed now. They looked cool though, and i really enjoyed both of them. Cheers, its nice to hear.

it's very hard to keep a five star level a five star level.... I've allready got 3 levels that until the 50 number of plays were 5 star but after that the star rate descend to 4 and kept there......... GOOD LUCK though
