Saw this one and it seems ti be in spirit of SMW VLDC contests so I went and took a look
And that's as much as I can say, levels are not bad, but not great either this far, "teh level" specially kinda sucks. like I get what is going for but this one is kinda jank, like getting double sprite glitch on the spiny section, or doing tight flight for the coins. The other levels on this map are ok, like i said, not bad, but pretty simple, how many exits are on this one? beats me, levels don't have proper indication, yellow tiles can have secret exits so whoops?!?!
Let's see the rest of this thing

And here we have it, final 3, these levels were chill, and they do be the best this collab has to offer.
First level is confusing, but its not that bad, and I like the style it goes for, second level is simple but effective, and the number 1 level is good, being on treetops is kinda neat and the level overall does remind me of the classic VLDCs before they went for flashy stuff.
Overall this collab is a mixed bag for me, its not as rough like say, ASMT, the collab is done by new people after all, with some Known faces like the uber camper and green jerry, but most of it was people I never heard of, these can improove for sure, even the scarlet cavern level I hated so much, but only time will tell if this concept gets a sequel
Set Difficulty: 5/10")
