I want to know how to make very great levels. so more people will like my levels. (cuz the downloads aren't too much

)
that's Why I'm kinda nervous... and I wish to make better levels than these...

I know the topic is sort of annoying and I'm acting like a wanna-be.
but still nervous

I like your levels!
I play them everytime you upload them!

Alright.

The first thing you need is to think of a name for your level.
Example: Robot Factory or Chomper Cave.

The second thing you need is a good texture.
Thats usualy the first thing people look at.
Try using a texture that works well with your name.
Example: Chomper cave has cave texture.

The Third Thing you need is good puzzle elements.
Use elements that work well with your name.
Example: Robot factory might have buttons or chompers with robot texture.

Good Luck!

And Chomper Cave has been taken. These are my ideas.

a. I'd be more likely to play it if there were no custom hats. I really do not want to download them if I don't have to. The only reason I downloaded your music pack is because I heard it in TDC. I don't want to spend my limited time searching the forums just so I can play one person's adventure.

b. Don't overuse repetition. For instance the first fireflower part on your last adventure was frustrating because you had to do it four times in a row. The bridge/fireflower part at the beginning of the adventure before got kind of boring. This goes for dig as well on the part with the spikeyballs in the kitchen of dig's castle. Easy but too repetitive.

c. It really really helps the storyline if you capitalize and punctuate. Otherwise the story can easily become confusing.

I'll tell you anything else I can think of.

Don't make the level just frustrating. No "Trial and Error" kind of thing. Try to make it FUN. The storyline should be funny but intriguing. The puzzles should be interesting but hard. Be creative!
Have a bit of "optional" puzzles and things that you can do to get coins or gems. Have more choices.

Pretty much all I can say.

Yeah, not many people download my adventures.
It makes me feel sad.
