Re: [Super-tux-devel] Forest World Map < submission

Hi there,

 Personally, I would try to avoid the mistake done in the Ice World that is=
 to=20
put similar levels together. I believe there has been an agreement to=20
distribute things better like in Super Mario, so that the game didn't turn=
=20
boring so quickly.

Cheers,
 Ricardo
