Finished a new puzzle level! I based this one on using pow blocks as platforms to avoid rising lava. The first section has you cross an area by carrying two blocks. The second second has you collect a key by positioning pow blocks. The third section has you collect 3 red coins by positioning pow blocks. There are a few secrets to find too. Would be happy to know what you think if you play. Unless you hate it, in which case I would like to know what you thought so I can evaluate that and decide whether I agree with your critiques and complaints or not, but I probably wouldn't be happy exactly.
Pow Block Peril
Carry the pow blocks to cross the lava safely! Hold down to set down blocks.

@Nintendo_Ninja Played Cruise Through the Dunes. Was a fun car level. A lot of the car levels I've played are basically auto Mario levels where a lot of stuff happens, but you're just holding right, so I appreciate ones that ask the player to make some jumps that need timing. Also was fun to route it without the car - most of it was easy, but that bit with the pipes and the fireballs in the second half required surprisingly tight timing to get through.
@Simbabbad - I played “Old School Mario (Cliffs)”. It felt like a level you’d play in the original Super Mario Bros. Good job! Had good aesthetics and design.
As for the spikes, I felt that simply flying with the cape is too easy. The spikes served as just an extra obstacle, although you’re the first person to tell me they had trouble with it. I can only judge difficulty based on my own skills, and when I play it I never had a problem, so it never even occurred to me it might be too difficult for someone. If there are a lot of deaths in that area that aren’t at the beginning from people just running and jumping without a cape, it probably should be changed but, I’ve kinda moved on to Fire Emblem right now.
The trick to the cape, btw, is to not pull back immediately (sounds like that’s what’s going on?). When you run and fly, and you get fairly high so as to be approaching the spikes, simply let go of the forward button. At that point you’ll start falling downward. Once you fall about halfways down, just press back one time to float, and after that it’s a simple rinse and repeat as you press back every time you’re roughly in the middle, vertically speaking. If you try to press back and catch wind immediately, I could definitely see that causing issues, as you would have to wait until you’re actually flying which will be too close to the spikes. Definitely gotta not press back. Just let go of forward, and as you fall back downward then press back
Just a tip for future reference, in case you encounter such an obstacle that requires flying skills again.

@Zwetzel4 - Finished “Course Crestor 3000”. That was a unique design. My main wish is that it was a longer course. Loved when the big Yoshi egg showed up!
Also did “Luigi’s Mansion”! That was a lot of fun! Well done!!!

Thanks! I intend to actually reupload the entire series of 4 levels after some tweaking, I'm a perfectionist !
@JaxonH Thanks but no, I completed SMW several times, don't have a problem using a cape, but then in the SMW game there's never spikes right above you. I understand how the cape works for some reason I just couldn't get the timing right. Maybe I was just not in the 'zone'. I didn't seem to be all night. Enjoy FE.
Here’s a course I’ve been fine tuning.

The world is ending! The sky is falling! Fire is raining!
Run fast. Jump well. Follow the coins.
This is a speed running course. Can seem hard at first.
@LavaTwilight Thanks for playing and for the honest and fair criticism. Now I'm all buzy with the new Fire Emblem, but yeah: a follow up to Hey! Listen! might come. But you're absolutely welcome to do your own version.
@Quarth haha thanks maybe I will, after a few courses I'm working on are done. Everyone seems busy with Fire Emblem these days. I loved the other games in the series but that was before I had a family to look after, so now I do I have to be more careful with my time and what i do with it. It's not easy juggling work, a wife and 2 kids, but somehow I manage to fit in 8 hours of gaming a day...
Enjoy FE.
Hey everyone so I've got a new level out, a bit of an easier minimalistic one this time. Its inspired by the work of Magritte, the French impressionist artist.

Hope you enjoy it.
