Level Design

[m0rbidang3l]

I've got a game all made up and whatnot.

I just need some help designing levels.

It's a puzzle platformer where you move blocks onto switches that turn on/off other blocks.

Anyone know any good source of information relating to designing puzzles in games? It would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Here's a link to the game - http://www.yoyogames.com/games/142960-ninjaro-demo

really that has to be your own creative imagination.. You can't just wikipedia ideas to a game I suggest you sit down and draw a few concepts like using a quadradic paper

I understand that. Designing puzzles takes a bit more careful consideration, and more than just creativity. I've got a bunch of levels already, but they all just seem to simple.

well then make the simple ones to begin with. And then sit down and think of a way to improve the simple ones to make them harder everything is sample'd nowadays anyway so it doesn't matter if you use the first few levels as a sketch to the rest of the levels
