      Hi and welcome to the forum. I played your cube map and found it interesting, although it has some frustrating elements. For example, the wide swinging arm is an opportunity for B to fall outside the map. I managed to achieve this fail at least 6 times. However, since there doesn't appear to be any way back inside once you're outside, you have to restart. This is unfortunate and makes many players give up. That's a weak spot in the design, especially since you make people traverse this way at least twice if they want to get all the stars. Which I did, eventually. Also, if you want players to collect stars then maybe only use stars instead of a win block. Some players will ignore stars and just go for the final win. If you replace your win block with a normal block with a star on top then players have to collect all the stars to finish. Regarding the falling outside the map, one simple set of stairs over at the large break in the wall leading to the outside ground level should suffice to allow players back in without having to restart. The second, smaller arm seemed to have the propensity to shake violently, leaving B to tumble down. Obviously this is supposed to happen at least once, but after I'd got that second star under the large spinning arm I didn't appreciate falling off just because the arm was struggling. That was about 3 times. That took me back to the start which meant more trips across on the big swinging arm. It's a good idea, just try find other methods that move more smoothly. Lastly, I was puzzled that you left so many free draggables around the place. The first couple of times through I just couldn't be bothered getting B to go down the lift, down the stairs, into position, wait for star, back up the stairs and back onto the lift. Instead I just used the free draggable and put it in position to collect the star for me while I was busy elsewhere falling off the big arm. So, all in all an interesting first level, and thanks for sharing it. One more parting comment. Although it's a cube, you named it CUB, which I assume stands for "See you B" which is what you say you him as he falls off the big arm. Lol
