This level is cute :3, it’s got some cute decoration, and the music sync + gameplay is really fun

It’s a little simple visually, and I wish there was more variation in colors since the first 80% blends together to some extent, it’s still well put together, and the visuals don’t detract from the gameplay, which is pretty fun outside the ending which is a little awkward

8/10

A cute classic wave challenge, it’s by no means perfect but it’s good at what it was trying to do

Gameplay is genuinely challenging for most, and the decoration has some classic 1.9 style swag that still holds up decently. It’s fun and short and still a challenge that holds a place in many hearts, and for that it deserves praise. (even if I still think it’s funny that the auto is more popular lol)

Simple 8/10, it works :3

To start: I really like this level conceptually, I love the style and I love when creators decide to just go ahead and make stuff in the editor for nothing other than love of the game, and I think hopelessness world 3 exemplifies why I enjoy that

The decoration in this level is weird, sometimes unrefined, but all has its charm and unique style just as it is. While it’s not perfect, nor as technically impressive as the high-end art we see now, I like this just as much, if not more than those. It’s definitely “raw”, but I like it for that :D. I love all the little monsters throughout, they’re all adorable :3.

Unfortunately, this level doesn’t quite match its decoration with high-quality gameplay. It suffers from being the somewhat boring “must baby the player” mentality (which is the standard for 3 stars today, whether I like it or not), which unfortunately means it’s somewhat boring, and some of the parts are excessively auto, especially the intro cutscene and first robot section. It’s okay, really as much as you can do with a 3 star, and even though I have made a large chunk of negative comments, it’s still fun and somewhat enjoyable, so that’s really the best I can expect from a level this easy

Overall, the decoration is a 98/100, with gameplay at a 60/100, for an overall 8/10.

I like this level, it’s silly, it’s so classically pinecones, it’s a cool experience

Really unique theming that’s executed well, I don’t think anyone else has really been like “ah yes this level needs more going into ovens and asparagus”, but Pine did it nicely here

Gameplay is fun, level is cute, what’s not to love

82/100 for gameplay & 84/100 for deco, 8/10 overall
