I dislike it. Though there is nothing wrong with 'over detailed' so long as it's done right, and is made appealing.

P.S. Learn to use the edit button.

Yes.

Don't use so many different-colored objects.

Detail with the greenish objects more and the mushrooms/brown things less. While they look okay if there are only a few of them scattered about, they look too cluttered in numbers. By contrast, using the greenish things is kind of like "shading" is in graphics editing. While not a perfect analogy, you don't "shade" with different completely different colors in graphics editing. Likewise, you shouldn't shade the green, grassy ground with alot of pale things or alot of brown things. The difference is that you can use those pale and/or brown things occasionally to add some accent, which would probably screw up a picture if you were making art.

Anyway, just use more greenish stuff and less non-greenish stuff.

Oh, in that case... The next time you're 'too lazy' to use the edit button I won't be so kind as to comp your two posts together. One of them will just disappear, and as for which one, well that will be at my discression. Please don't double post like you did earlier.

I wouldn't say it's over detailed, yes a lot but not over detailed (I see worse all the time).

I think the overall concept of the level is boring. In terms of detailing with tiles like the mushroom and rocks, it prevents a player from walking around.. that is just annoying.

So if there was a choice for boring, I would go for that.

It's not the worst level in the world though.
