Ok, I'm going to give you some constructive criticism. First of all, remove the hanging plants, they're burning my eyes. Secondly, picture driving isn't fun. Pictures are supposed to be in the background, and many elma players are used to that, so we don't know what we can go through and what is solid ground. The navigation map also gets destroyed, and very hard to understand quickly. My suggestion is that you should scrap the picture driving and add some grass instead.

Looking forward to see what you can come up with Squiike!

sach better chance to complete the level with low video detail... (no pictures)

agree with what said before + i'd advise you to avoid invisible polygons and giant loops (not that you've done it, but just a tip), they're mainly associated with n00bs and it has a good reason + well done for actually finishing that lev with a pretty nice time :P

Well, i think 99% of elma players would like to know what they are doing...

but everything cant require uber nerd trix to have fun with levels, there got to be some adventure levels too, where you drive through jungles, cities and other stories..i'm not saying mine was but those graphic ones should be welcomed too

Bartek made once a HUGE adventure level with grass, pictures, hidden words etc., and believe me that we all enjoyed it mainly because it was playable.

From my levelmaking experience, elma and reallife scenes don't go well together... :/

Ehh... Its no jungle feeling at all in your level. And all the hangs are making me crazy! and if you need hangs, place them so that you can't see the upper edge. Well... Im sorry but i think your lvl suck...

If you wanna see som nice jungle levels, download the level of the month levels with jungle theme.
