is the flow; this flow is loopy. you should try to get away from having loopy races. it's just too generic. i may have already said this, but bear with me. when you're starting out, try to emulate and even copy the style of an author you like. once you're able to consistently emulate their style and produce good races under their style, mutate it a bit. add some personal tweaks that you think make the style better. keep modifying it until the style is almost completely your own. you should then be able to make good and unique races under your own style. keep working at it. skill is only half of it; once you have the knowledge, it's only a matter of applying it. experience is the other half.

Much better than the first. Now this is what you still need to improve on:

1)Flow. Make it more unique.

2)Gold placement. Make it so that if you do the flow perfectly, you'll actually get all the gold. In this, if you do he flow correctly, there is still a patch of gold that wasn't gotten. Use a certain design. For examples, check out the authors I listed on your last race.

3)Enemy placement. Close calls. That's what it's all about.

4)Aesthetics. It looks ten times better than the last one, but it still looks bland. Make it look, better. It's a good theme, but it needs to look better.

5)Unnecessary objects. Cluttering. Get rid of the useless objects such as half of the mines, the last 4 trap doors, and the normal doors at the end.

Keep trying!!!
