Review: Another World Part 1 - Striss

This is a review for the level Another World Part 1 by the creator Striss
Description:
Your ship has crashed on a mysterious planet. Fight your way across the world!
PROS:
The use of lighting and materials was well thought of. And music. Every fit into the whole mysterious planet atmosphere. Like the bridge crossing obstacle. When I first saw it i thought, O geez another bridge to cross, but then i was knocked off. Actually because of my horrible timing this part gave me the most trouble. The puzzles and other obstacles, although basic, did what they were suppose to do. In other words....they worked.
CONS:
Nothing really new or original I found. Yeah the ships looked ok but were way to easy to dodge. Not much of a story for being Part 1. I don't really feel like trying Part 2 cuz I really have know idea whats going on. Didn't really like the rover. I actual got it to flip, but luckily i didn't need it anymore.
ADVICE:
Seeing as how this is the first chapter i think you really need to have some sort of story. If you want people to come back to finish the rest of them you are going to have to give them a reason.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Meh. Nothing really blew me away except the bridge obstacle. And even that didn't blow me out of the water. The idea is nice but nothing really grabbed my attention. There was really no wow factor.
Length: Medium
Difficulty: Easy:
Replayability: None
Funness: Not Much, maybe a smidge
Score: 4/10

Review: H.A.T.E. - Voltiare

This is a review for the level H.A.T.E. by the creator Voltiare.

Description:
Solve your way through 10 challenging puzzles to pass the Human Aplitude Test Experiment.

PROS:
Well first things first. This is from the same creator that made Temple of Sun and Moon which I gave a nine, so expectations were high. Needless to say he didn't dissapoint. The levels concept which is to figure out these test chambers is awesome. After completing each one I couldn't wait to see what the next one had in store. The chambers pretty much got better and better as you went alone. The whole idea with the computer introducing you to each chamber was well done as well, and sometimes amusing. The use of colors in the level, while simple, were very effective.
CONS:
The ending had me bummed as I was kinda hoping that it would be this epic battle or something. I don't want to spoil anything but yeah I wish there had been a bit more. Something a touch rewarding. Some of the puzzles at the beggining were kinda easy but really they are supposed to be so thats not really a con.
ADVICE:
Not sure if i said it in your last review but you should teach me.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Highly enjoyed the level and its concept. So much so that I actually told a friend about it! Yes i know there is a prize bubble for acing it but sadly due to the length I will not be replaying. It does take quite some time to complete. Anyways that being said I still hearted and now I sit anxiously waiting for your next project!! Hurry!!!
Length: Long
Difficulty: Medium to kinda tricky
Replayability: Not much as it is long and there isn't much surprise a second go around.
Funness: A bunch. Loved the final chamber!
Score: 9/10
