You build levels, test it over and over, give other people to test it, post some screenshots before it is released and then finally you release it (of course the order of all this may change but that's not essential). The problem is that in a day or in a few days after the release you post something like this: "oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, I've forgotten to place a trigger which means you won't be able to complete the level" - ARGH... Then what about all the testing you made? It's ok if size of the file was not that big but if it was more than 15 MBs it annoys . Please, the request is to be more attentive when you test your levels. Coz some people may not read (mention) your post about the forgotten trigger (or something like that) and spend their time on searching some things that don't actually exist. And don't tell me that I'm wrong coz it's all true.
The moral: test well your levels before you release it.
P.S. I'm sorry for the tone but I'm really mad now
Thank You

I would like to add, what about all that not testing..
If it isn't possible to finish the level(s) without a trigger, then propably noone even tried to do that till after releaseing it

Don't be too hard Astakhov, I know how easy it is to make a mistake or two just before releasing but you are right in what you say .
I promise to fully test my levels in future, but I can't promise they won't be excellent
