STORY (12/20)
Okay, so you're on an island with no other objective except to explore. The closest thing to a quest is introduced at the very end, where you are told that you are trying to get keys so that you can explore more. This plot is not inherently bad, but it would require all of the best designers throwing in their best puzzles to make it worth playing for a while. And a perfectly peaceful world is never good.
SCENERY (19/20)
Excellent scenery. This is the hub's strong point and obviously your forte.
ACTION GAMEPLAY (15/20)
What there was was mostly timing. However, the harder things will hopefully come later.
PUZZLE GAMEPLAY (15/20)
Not bad. Fairly easy, nothing new, but it's still early on in the hub.
GLITCH-FREE (0/20)
-3 stars that cause an MAV after you complete the adventure.
-2 spots where the same adventure star is used twice
-Numerous spots where the star says active after you play the adventure.
-4 gates rendered impassible by above glitches.
-MAVing arrow at the end. Use a sign to show where the demo ends. Please.
Unplayable without using the editor to delete gates, as well as other errors.
OVERALL (61/100)
Sorry for the harsh rating, but the bugs really killed the hub. Also, work on the story.

I didn't know that my first texture looks so good.
