Here we have a pretty easy level by Marryhun. I've seen some of their works before, and I can see how much they've improved.
We're greeted with a small cutscene animation, then going into a colorful meteor(?) shower part with song lyrics. I feel like some stars could be added to that part, making it feel less empty. The first half is pretty much auto with some great animations & transitions. I personally don't like when levels do that though, easy levels should have more gameplay or it will get boring quite fast.
The other half is very colorful, it starts with a purple UFO part. The background arts have small animations added to them and they don't look out of place. I like that there are different hue for certain elements like the arrows, block design and ground spikes. There are lanterns at the left & right side of the screen that are moving to the song, making the level feel more alive.
Around 0:50 there is a lot going on, I think it's a bit messy. There are some nice foreground and background effects but they're hard to see because of the rectangles. They also clash with other background elements which I don't like. I think the part would look more clean without those.
Last wave part looks nice, I like the wavy blocks that rise from below. There is also a giant foreground object that moves up and down. I'm usually not a fan of big objects blocking my view but this one uses glow inside the object, giving it a glassy look, I think it looks cool.
Transitions are nice, however I'm not a fan of the one at 0:46, it feels empty and basic in my opinion.
I wish the gameplay had more to it, you mostly just go in a straight line.
The level overall is quite nice, it's probably going to get a 2* feature.

I finally made some more progress. It's been a long time since I put effort into my levels, let's see how it goes.
