After much delay, and much video gaming, I finally republished my level. Taking into account suggestions from fellow game developer Ben, I fixed the problems he encountered, and made some modifications to enhance the level. One cool thing I was able to do was to make the snowball emitters better.
He told me that having them just pop out of nowhere was very frustrating and didn't look good. They needed to look like thery were coming from somewhere. I found some great looking pipe pieces in my tool set and used those for a location where the snowballs come from. To make it so it didn't look like they were random pieces of scenery, I added a matching number of pieces and a stone wall at the top of the mountain. I added a steam enging sound effect and a vent on the stone wall, and VOILA! A snowball machine. I wanted to use stickers to make an "ACME Snowball Machine" sign, but the letters offered are not in the style I wanted so I just let it go.
There are a few other additions, changes, fixes, and so on. If Ben wasn't reading this I might mention them, but I don't want to spoil the surprise.
