To some people levels with high number of steps are not very appealing, I've noticed.
I don't mind much about that, so I find this level very interesting, because it gives a lot of options. I'm currently at 288, trying to find manti's magic (the 266 thing). :))
EDIT (a day later): I now have two pretty different 270s. Will keep looking for Flash's 262.
EDIT 2: I found another 270, so I now had three of them. The one I liked the most, proved to be the right one, cause it could actually be cut down for 8 steps.
I loved this level. I put it in my ''mind-jewellery'' collection. I give it 5 stars, now.
Fun level and a very solid first effort! I do agree with Reach that the main section feels a bit unrefined (kind of a hodgepodge), I don't mind that kind of level sometimes though; just depends on my mood.
It's a very interesting level.
I would say the primary issue here is the concept is a little unrefined. As a new level builder I think a smaller version of this type of level with a more refined and tested path would make for a more enjoyable experience.
However, as a first level I thought it was pretty cool and I'd like to see more from you!
