Since I finished Shampoo, Cardboard, and Giraffe today, I can comment on them. I already commented on most of Shampoo and Cardboard, but I haven't touched on Giraffe, so I will now:
Giraffe#1 Maelstrom: I hate this kind of level...
Giraffe#2 Start at the End: A simple version of a common concept. Okay.
Giraffe#3 40 Winks: Not super hard
Giraffe#4 The Companion Block: I got the reference but I didn't enjoy this one.
Giraffe#5 Lots of Stuff: Not terrible but I don't like it much
Giraffe#6 Push My Buttons: A good tutorial level
Giraffe#7 Going: Ball timing is unfair as hell. Shame, since the rest of the level is really slick.
Giraffe#8 Caved In: It was such a *good* idea until the !#$#@$@# teeth room, which sucked my enjoyment out so hard that I had to dock several points
Giraffe#9 Keys Are a Girl's Best Friend: Okay
Giraffe#10 Balls and Walkers: Okay
Giraffe#11 Cross Over: Reminds me of that one CC1 level, whose name I forget now, involving teleports. I think it's really enjoyable.
Giraffe#12 Groenland Rain: Good. God. The. Tedium.
Giraffe#13 Sea Shell Collecting: Maybe it's just because it's following Groenland Rain, but I thought this level was reasonable sane for what it was.
Giraffe#14 Dodge and Run: Reminds me of NIGHTMARE. Enjoyed it.
Giraffe#15 Whirlpool: A bit tiresome, honestly.
Giraffe#16 Icy Enclosure: Random force floors make it more obnoxious that it needs to be. Meh.
Giraffe#17 A (Mostly) Simple Maze: A (Mostly) Uninteresting Level
Giraffe#18 Finding: An uninteresting level with a few interesting mechanics that nonetheless fails to raise its rating
Giraffe#19 Year of the Flamingo: Okay...?
Giraffe#20 Exit...Ice Left: Hated this one.
Giraffe#21 Volleyball: Too strange. I kinda just got it by doing random things.
Giraffe#22 Guardians: Gave up on this one.
Giraffe#23 Crystal 2: A bit tricky but dull.
Giraffe#24 Chipweave: Pure CC1 feeling with this one. It needs to make it in.
Giraffe#25 Sleeping Dragon: Meh.
Giraffe#26 Collectibles: Good tutorial
Giraffe#27 PortalSwapper: Confusing
Giraffe#28 Androidal: I lost due to time limit twice. It's not that bad though.
Giraffe#29 Fibonacci: I hated this level. Blue walls, ugly aesthetics, cooks...
Giraffe#30 Lost in the Jungle: I am bad at monster dodging but I still liked this level reasonably well.
Giraffe#31 Release Me: Played it when it was in Grant's pack. I found it satisfying intellectually but really, really tricky, which lowered its score. It feels like a CCLP3 level.
Giraffe#32 Death Box: Clever, though I hear it's going to be changed or something? Not happy about that.
Giraffe#33 Into the Corners: Good but short.
Giraffe#34 Deliverance: Meh.
Giraffe#35 The Bugs and the Bees: Annoying.
Giraffe#36 Parallels: Good idea of a level, but I hate how I cooked it completely unknowingly.
Giraffe#37 Exit Garden: Don't like it.
Giraffe#38 Ballwise: Great level.
Giraffe#39 Hate This and I'll Love You: Cute, and not too tricky for CCLP1, I believe.
Giraffe#40 Enter the Teleporter: This level is too hard.
Giraffe#41 REW: This level is absolutely wrong for CCLP1.
Giraffe#42 Close Relation: Couldn't beat it.
Giraffe#43 Burning Plains: Very boring
Giraffe#44 Slip and Slide: Boring
Giraffe#45 Inferno: Good level
Giraffe#46 To Press or Not to Press: It was okay.
Giraffe#47 Castle: The first room itself was a righteous pain.
Giraffe#48 Blocked Alley: Tightly-timed invisible-wall mazes are disgusting.
Giraffe#49 Wall Wanderer: Meh, it's an okay tutorial I guess
Giraffe#50 Clone Field: I liked this idea a lot.
Giraffe#1 Maelstrom: I hate this kind of level...
Giraffe#2 Start at the End: A simple version of a common concept. Okay.
Giraffe#3 40 Winks: Not super hard
