Tick Tok Rush by Warchief6

Levels with short time limits, always make a great level. Warchief’s level, Tick Tok Dash, has just this, but also contains some great new ideas. Such as using platforms, that move in an up and down motion, to boost you up to a platform that can’t be reached with the normal jump height.

Warchief’s level takes you through many different obstacles. These may seem hard, but are actually easy if you plan your timing before your jump. Each obstacle is extremely fun, and has excellent ideas attached to them all.  This includes, jumping on a moving platform as it comes out of a wall at high speeds, and use it to jump up to a platform above you, jumping on a platform that has logs rolling on it, which means you need to hurry onto the next platform before the push you off, and many more great ideas.

Since this is a fast paced level, you’ll have to go through each obstacle fast.  You only have one minute at the start of the level. But when you make it through an obstacle, you’re granted 30 more seconds, and a checkpoint. This is good, considering that this is a long level and you need more than a minute to get through.

Currently, warchief  is the only user that has beaten this level. If you think you can beat his score, and you want to prove it, Play Now!

Phantoms Keep by Sirkay1995

It began when your dog came down with a terrible disease. At night, evil dreams go through your head. It is ripping apart your soul. You almost died because you sleep-walked into the middle of the road. Your father called a therapist that can go with you into your dreams. Before she can go into your dreams, the dreams disappear... Or so you think. Your house has become part of your nightmares and it slowly deteriorates into deadly chaos.

This is what happens in sirkay1995's level Phantoms Keep. Though the prospects may seem bleak, this level is extremely well put together and really conveys the feeling of being in a nightmare. This is strangely delightful, at least to me. You wander through this deserted landscape feeling incredibly alone.

It is an intriguing story, regardless of the numerous spelling errors. You can hear your therapist and even a strange evil voice that talks to you creepily. I want to know so bad how the story ends, even though I never beat the level.

Another thing about this level: Its puzzles are incredibly fun and intriguing. I have never seen a level that has drawn me back to play it over and over again as this one. As you master the secrets of this nightmare, you will find yourself progressively getting further and further.

Besides the puzzles, this level has some great platforming spots too! It has recently become very hard to find such a gem of a level like this one that incorporates puzzles and platforming so amazingly. Its environment is also spooky and chaotic enough that you will not get bored of it no matter how many times you play the level.Finally, I must say that I have not played any of sirkay's levels before, but I definitely will from now on. So should you! I can tell from this amazing masterpiece that sirkay has an excellent talent for design and that veteran designers better watch out, because this designer is prancing into his town with an AtmoScore review.
