Overall flow/feel of the level
Does it feel like it could be used in a Nintendo game or a highly sought after Rom Hack? Gotta ask your self why that jump is there if an enemy is flying overhead. Maybe an area is just really odd looking. Try to play your level different ways for different play styles and see if it still works.
Blocks/effects used w/ chosen tileset
Extra effort to make it feel like you are there. Attention to detail, full but not busy philosophy, and reasons to why things are placed toward this score.
Enjoyability of the level
Even though a level is hard or even to easy, it can still be fun.
Be careful of things that are "cheep" (blind jumps up or down, "hidden" fireballs that fly up) or to much "random" (Lots of hammer bros, chain chops, Bowser fire on long runs)
If you didn't have fun playing it even a TINY bit, many people out there wont as well.
Think outside the box
How are you using blocks to move you or things around you? Did you find a way to make it look like its snowing? Maybe it looks like you are in a rocketship. This is by far the hardest area to get points, but it sets the winners apart from the ok levels.
Icon will show what you can and cannot use for that weeks theme.
If it has a red X through it, that means you cannot use it in your submission.
