Rated Layouts

A community-run & standalone rating system that focuses solely on Layout Levels!

---

About

This mod adds a new rating system that focuses on the layout design and gameplay rather than decoration and effects.

This gives layout and gameplay creators a platform to get their levels rated and recognized.

This won't replace/conflict with existing rating systems nor will officially rated levels be included in this mod!

You can find the Rated Layouts by clicking the Blue Spark button at the bottom left of the Creator Layer or Level Search Layer!
