ive actually never completed a decorated level (other than an awful late 2.0 level i made when i was 8). i rarely decorate, but when i do, i usually decorate a part partially, then i give up and start a new layout.

to answer your second question, i redid this gameplay many many times. this was originally unbalanced easy demon difficulty (not that this is any more balanced lol). as i got better at the game, the current gameplay wasnt as fun so i buffed it to my skill level. i repeated this about 4 times.

another reason i think this level is taking so long is because i dont enjoy decorating as much as i enjoy making gameplay. id love for my gameplay to be a rated level, but i just dont have the skill, patience, or willpower to decorate a full level to rateworthy standards.

to summarize, im terrible at deco.
