Basically yes, but right now I'm doing something else

Yes, i indeed did say that your challenge was stuffty but i never said that the levels were impossible or that they were hard. I just said that they were really cheap. A good example would be the button clicking stuff but you fixed that one already.

Its nice that you are taking feedback and fixing up things.

A loving click challenge would be nice sometimes or some other variety.

If you are skilled enough, I would believe that you could be able to build a randomizing level that is always different but follows certain rules. An arcade game for example where you would have to score 500 and you get trough.
--- Quote ---What is a trick level.

A trick level, my fine sir is a level where the solution is really simple but there is a bunch of bullstuff that makes you think otherwise.
--- Quote ---That's a stuffty made video, and from what I can see a not a challenge, it's random setplayertransform bullstuff.

Its a video from 2008, and yes it was a challenge. Also if you're fixing something, fix your spelling.

I generally try to add some variety to my challenges. In this past one for every two or three jumping levels I had one level that was something other than jumping. Whether it be clicking or throwing a dodgeball, whatever the case may be. It's been hard recently to come up with original stuff that will work and be enjoyable. I also always take into account that there is the possibility of multiple people on one level so I do my best to make sure that doesn't affect anyone's game play. I feel like I do a good job in that area but maybe other people disagree. I also try my best to start the challenge off easy and steadily get harder and harder. But I've learned that what I consider easy might not be so easy for other people. So I'll have to make some improvements in that area. I can't have a dedicated server unfortunately for certain reasons. But for any who have been to my challenges. Are there any tips or constructive criticism that you can offer to make them better?
