Well, this is my first alright hack. I actually started to use ExGFX. As you can see, I'm not that skilled at editing the BG




I can use all the advice you give me, so please post.

It looks interesting for a first hack. Here are just a few comments on the pictures

Top Left-It's alright but I can't tell if the clouds are FG or BG. I wold suggest making the FG a bit darker.
Top Right-There isn't really much to comment on here.
Middle Left-Ok
Middle Right-The background is odd
Bottom Left-You might as well put stone blocks beside the thowmps because the ceiling is made of them
Bottom Right-A little empty
Last Picture-Not Bad

Overall it's pretty good for your first hack.

If you open up the 16x16 editor and the background editor you can select tiles from the 16x16 editor and press ctrl + left click to insert them into the background editor.

I hope that helps.

Meh, it's a bit bland but not bad at all for a first hack. The use of ExGFX, even in moderation, is nice to see in a first hack--it still keeps the SMW feel.

Screen 1: A little empty, but pretty good. Like those clouds in the BG. Did you draw the ground yourself?

Screen 2: ......It's empty. You got anything more involved? (Not bad for hand-drawn grass)

Screen 3: Same old Level 105 Have you ever heard of pressing Ctrl-Del? (Not saying it's bad, I like your grassy ledges and the use of custom blocks)

Screen 4: Interesting. I guess that's just the "large background area" with a custom palette. Finally I see a hack that finds a non-cheesyass use for it.

Screen 5: Meh, it's pretty average--and it looks a bit hard. Is that the first castle? I'd tone it down a bit.

Screen 6: Not much to say, but green stuff (grass?) doesn't look right on the sandy ground, unless it's some kind of beach level. The palette could stand to be fixed a bit.

Screen 7: No comment, other than the skulls on lava tends to get tedious, especially if you use it a lot.

Overall, not bad for a beginner.
