Okay, things you need to fix.
- Don't put so many torches, it make the game way too easy.
- Take out some of the harder enemies, like wraiths and crab claws.
- Only put one kind of liquid at a time in an area.
- Don't overuse goodies. I got two health increases, three rez necklaces, two mist potions, three multi crystals, two red Xichrons and much more by the end of the first level.
- Don't overuse enemies either. In several spots I had to combat with a lot of spiders and pirhanas at once.
- People don't (usually) like long and empty corridors. Fill them up with enemies and scenery.
- People also (usually) don't care for levels that are mostly square. Have some roundness and some slopes.
That's all I can think of for needed things right now.
You need to work on making your own foregrounds. If you made your own foregrounds and then took my advice above, you could probably make great levels.
(edit) Also, use (url="http://"http://extemporaneous.ferazel.net/mascotguide.html")this(/url) as a reference and guide. Print it out, bookmark it and memorize that. Every MASCOTer needs that reference, that Ent has posted and added to it, bless him. (/edit)

Wow that's a whole load better than last time There are a few things that need fixing though.
I agree with ferazel that the game is at the same time too easy (too many torches and powerups, and too hard for a first level (or the first few levels) wraiths and crabclaws definatly belong at the harder end of the game.
I'm not sure I agree about the liquids though. I think it's workable but it shouldn't be random. The odd square or two of ziridium instead of water or - liquids in layers is quite interesting.
If you give away too many goodies in the first levels (or use too hard enemies) you have nothing new to offer in the later levels and people will get bored.
Space your enemies out a bit more in the first levels so that you can get through the level without too much sudden death syndrome.
Square levels are ok but a bit tedious. Draw the levels in a graphics package GraphicConverter is very good. Convert it to bitmap and past it as a smoothed FG tile map. If the lines are a little bumpy so much the better it makes more interesting terrain.
Read the Mascot editor also look on (url="http://"http://cybergran.ferazel.net")CyberGran's webpage(/url) and you will find various lookup tables for specific areas.
Keep up the good work!

Sorry about that I've been a bit busy with the 12 days of Christmas program. I'll get back to testing now - and trying to do something with my own levels.

I've lost my password, so if you want me to do more beta testing, can you email it to me again?
(Although I think you're much better off working with LizWiz for now, and I should just do the final run through just prior to release to find minor bugs.)

This downloads the beta v5 I was having trouble with before. The modification date on the World Data shows December 10, 2002. You must have something more recent than this?
