Review: Return the Lost Time - Leagult

Review for the level Return the Lost Time by creator Leagult
PROS:
Wow. Loved this level. Im going to say probably my favorite user created level. From the art design to all original creations and tricky puzzles. This was sweet.The difficulty was just right. Plus it even has a boss(kinda a soft spot for me) which was very well designed.
CONS:
Yes there is some. From all the wonderful little obstacles you created there was some things that i could do without. The beginning had maybe a little too many switches. There was no challenge to this and didn't really add anything to the level. The race part seemed kinda out of place and all you do is jump over some generic squares that are on fire. The lead up to the boss wasn't as epic as one might hope. And as much as i loved the boss it was a touch annoying being launched into the air and crossing your fingers so you don't get hit by an explosion. there was no skill to this it was more luck then anything (maybe i was doing it slightly wrong if so please correct me)ADVICE:
Really you should be giving me advice cuz this is the type of level i would like to create.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Now the final score may seem lower then you may guess but here are the reasons:Replayability...well there isn't much. Don't get me wrong the level is awesome and was fun. but there isn't much to go back to except showing a friend the boss or some of the neat obstacles. I am assuming that there may be an ace the level award but like i mentioned the luck of jumping up onto the boss was a tad frustrating which is probably why you put a double checkpoint. Also i did play the level twice (cuz the boss got me) and i just wanted to get thru it to see how it ended. And now i know the ending there won't be many (if any) surprises left. Overall i did have a wonderful time and i hearted the level. Can't wait to see what else you create.
Score: 8.5/10
