Spark910 has a spectacular aura about
Ok then here goes (ZZzzz...) OMG I wrote loads, DONT QUOTE ALL OF THIS!

Level One

Shape:
This shape is nothing new, I would rarther instead of a square it did something like go off in a step like shape somewhere to make it more interesting!

Floor:
This is nice, it fits well with the chairs (Red and Red) and the tiles around the edge are nice, but I'd just stick to one or the other, as I dont personally like the up and down effect.

Object:
These are what you would expect really. Its a bar/cafe so we got chairs and Tables. But I'd put chairs in the middle, and not at the ends. As the chairs dont look as if they are apart of the tables when they are.

Bar:
Nice shape, idea and better than just a boring old bar that you find ready made up in your level editor.

Other:
Tiles at door are nice, maybe make them go all the way down to the door entrance instead of just stoping by that up and down border.

The grass thing in the middle is nice, I opten add these, they make levels look nice as although your inside you get the idea your outisde!

The things on the table would be better with fire/some sort of light in them, you probably did have some but didn't shop up in screenshot! If you didnt have any then add some!

Suggestions:

-Lights On Table
-Make Shape More Interesting
-Use up or down border, not both
-Tile errors in courner of that bush thing in walls!

Sparks Rating: 7/10

Level Two

Shape:
This is nice layout from what i can see so its good, although when we go onto the grass parts, they look, well too jam packed!

Water:
This is nice, it always works and is effective no matter what, well if you do straight bits it looks horrible, but thats all nice. One thing though, you have used the dark water shape two time. And its not that good when you repeat things like that, you should make the other deep water a different shape!

Food Court:
Im not so sure that I like this here, it looks out of place and maybe even spoils the whole level! Also the chairs look weird again, should be in the middle.

Cliffs and Grass:
Ok first off dont leave the Cliffs like that, they look weird! Always finish them off and dont just leave a straight gap! And the grass its ok from what I can see, but maybe too much swamp and buses up the top.

Suggestions:
-Fix Cliff
-Less Bushes
-Make the deep water look better, you repeat it about 5 times
-Same as above but with the rocks in water
-Remove the fod court (Or edit chairs)
-Maybe too many Ducks!?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level Three

Shape:
Yes this is nice, not too straight, nice and interesting although the cave in the middle looks boring, but thats due to no tiles ontop that are different.

Water:
This is good, but I would have thought the ducks would die in such cold temperatures! I dont think they should be there! And maybe add some shallow water tiles and even some rocks in the deeper water.

Walls:
Wall are ok, but I dont like how it looks like crosses in bigger areas, maybe change that.

Other:
Swamp is ok while the tables, I dont think you need them in every level you do.

Suggestions:
-Remove Ducks
-Remove Table + Chairs
-Add bits to water to make it interesting
-Add tiles onto of that cave (Grass Ones Would Be Cool)

Level Four

Shape:
This is boring, I think you tired to fill th whole level space, when this is not really needed, nor suggested, for inside ones as you end up with big spaces of nothing.

Floor:
This is ok but a bit boring. Maybe play around with the tiles or use blue/grey instead of always red. Also why not make that top right door come down alot more, as its horrible up there with a long boring walk of shame up to it, theres no need.

Objects:
The tables and chairs are good, considering you need them in here. But dont use big tables too much as they look boring and loose their effect. Also the lights in the middle, they look weird, as they dont really fit there.

Bar is ok, door is in a weird place though! And also the tiles behind the door dont look very nice. And the wine shelves look very repeative.

Suggestions:
-Get rid of big spaces by making level smaller
-Chance tiles behind the bar
-Find new tiles to do the lights in the middle of table

Sparks Rating: 6/10


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level Five

Detail:
The grass has detail that looks as if it has been right clicked and it doesn't look nice like that.

The paths are too crowded and look horrible like that, you need some spaces of just grass.

Ive never understood why people put that green tile in outside levels, I personally dont like it like that.

You seem to put tables everywhere, you dont need them, you can do a good level without them.

Houses:
These are interesting, yes seem to make the level horrible as there is no space around them.

Suggestions:
-More Space!
-Get rid of Tables
-Get rid of that green tile
-Get rid fo that thing in top left
-Make pathes less packed and more interesting

I dont like this level that much, its too crowded, and jam packed which makes it horrible.

Sparks Rating: 5/10


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level Six (Images is loading Now)

Shape:
This is nice interesting idea, I'd like it if we saw more of the wooden stakes and not just all them tree tops!

Detail:
The detail in the level is too crowded, and somethings I woudln't have done as you did. But generally its ok.

Suggestions:
-Dont use the castle stairs on cliff
-Give us somewhere to breath, its too crowded
-Path at bottom it too big and boring
-Less Tree Tops

Sparks Rating: 4.5/10


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level Seven

Shape:
This is interesting and looks nice, although the tiles you used to do it dont go very well and look like tile errors.

Floors:
Although this is plain, it looks good. But once agian that up and down thing doesnt look very nice!

Objects:
Too Many bars....Arggg.... it looks ok but im bored of tables by now!

The water things are nice and interesting and bring life to the level, but there all the same and look boring and ducks again!!!

Bar looks nice, not too boring, but there is alot of empty space behind there, maybe make it smaller?

Suggestions:
-Dont use the tiles you have done so to do the walls
-Water scene all look a bit boring as there the same
-Up or Down, lol.

Sparks Rating: 7.5/10

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall Level making Rating: 6.5/10
-A few things that knocked you off a good mark, but there nice and not bad.
