After what seems like a near century wait (it was really only about 5 years), the newest Make A Good Megaman Level (MAGMML for short) has been released! I've decided to get on this as soon as possible before I start getting spoiled on the entries. I'll be playing through the levels and reading the reviews along the way and giving some thoughts on each of the levels in the description. Feel free to follow along...

A heads up... with the recent news that has come out behind the scenes about the production of this game. With the exception of this video, I will be talking as little as possible about it. It really is tough to see how everything went down and this game should have always been about the entrants first and base everything around that. I hate to hear what it inevitably turned into, but as I am not a part of the discord or any way involved in the game, I can't give an honest opinion of the people involved.

Tl;dr... Let's just have fun and play the game...

Gilded Man - Oof, I honestly don't remember much about the level other than its horrific aesthetic. Oh and Shovel Knight music. Boss is a reskinned Yamato Man and goes down just as easy.

Fruit Forest: OMG THOSE GRAPES ARE SO CUTE I WANNA SQUEEZE THEM!!! I loved what this level tried to do and it has a very cute aesthetic, but it just misses. Like it just need a little more of a push and it would of been solid. I also would of loved to see more reskinned enemies. It's good, but just misses in being great.

Just A Judge Level - Pachy's submission for being a Judge. She's come a long way from Just An Ice Level. Her space level in 48 was solid as well... however, I'd be DAMNED if I can figure out where that second element is. Seriously, I was scratching my head trying to figure it out and still don't know...

Suzy Love - Interesting concept using Suzies as platforms. But soooo much more could've been down with it! They're just used here for the most part to just fly over bottomless pits. There was so much more you could do and I think if given a second try, you'd crush it out of the park.

Glass Factory - When making a stage based off a robot master that already exists, you need to be careful as you're stage will automatically be associated with that robot master and people will have something to compare it to. It's even worse when you do it to the first place entry in a previous contest. Unless GameTrooper is in fact RedBlupi (in which case disregard all that), you never should pay homage to that entry. Your stage loses it's identity when that happens and it'll forever be compared to the better effort (look at SMB3 in MAGMML2 for another example). ALL THAT SAID. The second half of this stage is MUCH better and honestly, if that was your submission, it likely would've placed higher. I'm still not a fan of quiz levels that are "get it wrong and you die" though, those ultimately devolve into trial and error.
