6:01 Me who loves NC levels : 😭

Agreed with most of these. Whilst I think that Minigame, no matter how much I adore it, doesn't deserve the top spot. They're janky, buggy, and most of them are just inferior game recreations. The original prototype games like Mastergame, Dungeon Escape, Floating Maze/Floating Outskirts, Bitworld Odyssey and so on are phenomenal though. My top 3 would probably be Minigame at No.3, Art at No.2 and Tech at No.1, but that's just me. Also, I'll quickly list out some of my favourite levels from some of the styles, as you didn't share that many top notch examples of them: *1:25* I agree, most of the layout levels are pretty bad, but there are a lot of exceptional effect layouts. The best one by a gigantic margin has to be Omorfia by HHyper, it's simply immaculate. *4:50* Tunneling Vermin by YoReid is a prime example of a superb retro level, I think for how limiting this style can be, it can have a ton of potential. *9:45* How is a great example of an effect level, but considering how ABSOLUTELY every asset is custom-made, it deserves a category of its own above effect. *10:24* Tech is my favourite style for a reason, not only does it take insane amount of effort and creativity to make cool custom cyberpunk-esque designs like that, but also very high skill with glow, object management, backgrounds and bosses that 95% of the tech levels include. And even aside the skill required, the results look indubitably awesome. Some of the best tech levels include The Eschaton by Xender Game (Any one of his boss series to be honest), The Mayhem War by HHyper, Ocellios by Dolphe and so on. Last thing, a couple styles you forgot to mention that I think are note-worthy: 1. Sunset. The style that involves a usage of mostly black and a complementary colour that the entire level is made of. 2. ''Photo-realistic'' as I like to call it. Basically the style that Culuc uses, that incorporates fantasy concepts in extremely real looking landscapes and assets. It can be ruled into Art, but I feel like it's different enough to count as a style of its own.

Amazing to see someone talk about xender's lore

0:43 tartar sauce is crazy 💀

I’m a big nine circles kinda dude, well not the 1,9 one but my own

electrodynaimx on top 🔥🗣

Watch Cicada 3302 by Darnoc. There’s your answer

Wait man man was a horror level?

I think a layout shouldn't be enough for an epic rate, but it should be rateworthy

I haven't watched the video yet but i'm 100% sure you didn't mention cartoon/kips style

nuh uh, layout should be higher fr

Time Machine ain't that bad Fight me

U sound like gd collon

Layout is better

It REALLY doesn’t matter which levels get rated.

what about meme theme😂

What theme is "change of scene"?

Stop right there, you're not trying to impersonate gd colon are you?

1:02 that click pattern scares me

1:54 Bro thinks he’s GD Colon

5:11 you see, it isnt the mods that are the problem here. Its robtop. You could get your level sent by a million moderators but if robtop either doesnt see it or doesnt play it then you wont get your level rated.

Terraria music at the start of

dear nostalgists: 😟

is mouse a good option? i play mobile but im think of moving to pc

Yeah...request servers...maybe if I ever find one which isn't closed for almost ENTIRE YEAR.

Split72 level in the bg? 100% a furry

This will not age well

I would argue that any level that brings something unique to the table deserves a rate. I mean, while Dear Nostalgists is a layout, it genuinely brought nostalgia, which most others couldn’t do, therefore, it was rated. Dear Nostalgists had just as much thought put into it as the standard rate, considering how well it flowed. Do you know how much playtesting you have to do to make fun gameplay? At the end of the day, the rate bar is too high anyway. Levels that masterfully combine deco with gameplay should get feature+. But one creator point? Gatekeeping one creator point, against a level with great gameplay, or perhaps the generic, well-built level, is insulting to new creators. The bigger problem is that Rob only applies this logic to well-known creators.

i want deco to be one of the main factors but a very good gameplay level (like a VERY good layaut) should be at least a star rate, than a big jump to the others

Why was the intro synced with your talking?

I don'w want it to not matter. I just think that if a layout has a REALLY good gameplay, it should be rate-worthy (not enough for a feature tho)

Bro, you did NOT make Zip Lash. Why are you sounding as though you did?

The problem with the rating system looks like is getting worst now in 2.2 lets just start a action or something because we cant do nothing on our own

Only mods and famous poeple get rated level with 1.9/2.0 style deco in simple terms if your popular you get rated in your levels regardless
