Walls of CCLP2 -> put in UC5 as a level I made -> also appears early on in my best of set. I'm not really sure how that's overused, or how that would count against the level.

Sorry about the mistake. In that case, it probably wasn't overused

And yet, this didn't count against Photopia... separate tilesets also don't change how the level plays so again: why does color theming count against a level? If there were no thieves, would that change things?

I don't see how Photopia tries to use any special aesthetics. To answer your question, I don't think replacing the thieves would improve the level because any other tile would also break the aesthetic.

Random chance puts two levels from a 149 level set next to each other: complain!

Random chance puts two levels from a 100 level set next to each other: no comment!

Perhaps it's because I didn't play the set levels 8 and 9 come from, so I have no way of knowing that they are both from the same set?

Well, it doesn't need to be known to be possible to get every chip given how many extras there are. I think it's quite reasonable in that regard.

Still, mentioning something like this makes the level look unprofessional, as if the designer was too lazy to thoroughly test it to see if all the chips are required. While such knowledge is not really necessary, putting this imprecise information in the hint is not a good idea, in my opinion.

There are two parts: a blue wall/water maze, and a connect-the-chips section with recessed walls. Both concepts have been done many times already. The only unique things about this level are throwing the two puzzles together, and the happy faces in the top corners.

Also, my musical tastes are very different from yours, Josh. Sorry

Then why didn't you mention the recessed wall maze? Is Recess from CCLP3 just glider dodging?

I did not find the recessed wall maze hard at all. The dodging was much harder, I think.

Recess is mostly the maze, although neither maze nor dodging are hard to execute.
