A decent number of the titles of my levels are references to things:
The Good, The Blob and the Toothy is a reference to the well-known movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
The Trouble With Toggles references one of the best episodes of Star Trek, The Trouble With Tribbles.
Wheels in Wheels is taken from a certain line in the Bible (Ezekiel I think) that stuck in my mind because it sounded cool and seemed appropriate to the the level design.
Advanced Lesson obviously plays off how the level superficially resembles LESSON 1 but is significantly trickier.
Tank! is a reference to the title of the opening track of the anime Cowboy Bebop with the same name.
Chip Battles The Blue Robots is a reference to the opus album of The Flaming Lips, Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots.
The Straight and Narrow, besides being a saying, is also a reference to the lyrics of the song Getting in Tune by The Who.
The Long and Winding has symmetry with The Straight and Narrow, and refers to the title of a song by The Beatles.
Taking Tooth Castle is a reference to the Brian Eno album Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)
Of the rest most were self-explanatory, or silly puns, or forgotten moments of serendipity. A few, like Nine Rooms, are cop-outs because I couldn't think of a name, or hints as to how the level works.
