@Sven and Samus:
Haha, thanks for the praise on the Icey Cave level. I appreciate you guys liking it.

As you may have noticed by now, my levels aren't that hard aside from maybe one or two tricky parts here and there, because I'm more into the visual aspect (thanks for the nod as well), the focus on one theme and trying to get some cool, unexpected mechanic from it. I'd say the Ice level and the Mushroom Factory level succeeded best until now. I saw the use of blocks on rails on someone else's level (I think someone from here actually). I figured then they could also roll off those rails. The falling ice blocks don't kill Mario, yet merely push him aside, but it does seem people were either startled and surprised by them (which was the intention) or indeed pushed off, because there's a couple deaths around those platforms.

I had this weird glitch when making the level by the way, which had the large Wiggler at the end removed most of the time for some odd reason. Obviously, if the Wiggler isn't there, you can't beat the level so it was a problem. I noticed it occured when you stand around waiting for a while just before his cave. Probably some kind of trigger issue, the screen edge is in the middle of his cave. I moved him to back of it, so putting him in another screen, which fixed the issue... I also couldn't get the ice platforms to move the way I wanted to, a similar trigger issue, but after trying for while with positions I gave up because you can still beat it no matter how those platforms move.

And I also didn't know you had Dutch roots, Sven. I knew VGC says Canada and I saw the miiverse flag but for some reason I had the impression you or your family had a Scandinavian origin lol. I don't know how, or why I thought that . Anyway, Amsterdam, even I, coming from Rotterdam, have to admit it's a beautiful city .

Haven't been playing the game yesterday, but it goes without saying I'll be back to playing some of your levels again (all you guys') later today, Star-ing along the way, and continuing on with building my own!
