This is an excellent idea, you should definately work on this some more. It has a lot of appeal because it is social and creative too. It also brings back memories for me, I loved to play with level editors for games in my younger years.

I think though that you should allow people to play a level without signing in.

The gameplay does feel a little slow and generic though, you should work on making that more fun and a little more polished. For a well polished 2d game have a look at Cavy Story.

thanks! the toolset is extremely bare-bones right now, somewhat in the spirit of "launch and iterate". we're trying to gauge what percentage of the population is interested in stage design (vs. just playing). as for the player logins, i want to keep an identity because the main value-add of our game is the player stats tracking and replay footage. cave story is a huge inspiration, and i hope someday we can enable folks to build their own cave story-like experience.
