Review: Rise and Fall of the Evil Lord (part 1) - Lleonard

This is a review for the level Rise and Fall of the Evil Lord part 1 by creator Lleonard.
Description:
In part one you must find the monster egg that will hatch to destroy the city of Pagh.
PROS:
Very very well made first effort. Your attention to detail is awesome. Plus the level is sort multi pathed in that you can go off the main trail and find all sorts of goodies, like points and prizes. Don't remember what the prizes were but im pretty sure they were original creations. Liked the story and the music fit well into the level. Crab design was solid.
CONS:
Not a lot to say really. It was somewhat easy and there was no real wow moments. Except that the level looked really good. Didn't really like the design of the giant person (not sure really what it/he was suppose to be probably missed that plot detail.) but it seemed kinda clunky and didn't really look like a person.
ADVICE:
Not a lot to give. You added to the replay factor by having players search for prizes which was nice. Played the beta for part two and it seems to be a nice follow up to the first one. I'm not sure if you plan on doing it in the second one but, maybe make it a bit harder. Maybe some eye-popping sequence. I'm sure you have something epic up your sleeve tho.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Don't have much to say really. Liked the level, you seem to know what your doing with the tools provided so I'm not going to really get in the way. In terms of a score tho I will dock marks (not a lot) for not being overly fun. It's not a level (talking bout the platforming aspect here) that I would talk about at the water cooler tho. The story is top notch and I can't wait for the second act to be finished. Also because it was fairly easy, but well done, i'm not sure how many times I would play it again. It's good for the first time thru tho!
Length: Medium
Difficulty: Easy
Replayability: A little
Funness: Not a lot.
Score: 8/10
