Themes
Level Design
How to make a level enjoyable
Satisfying challenges
Fairness. Game over should always be the players own fault
Enemies
Don't throw in tons of enemies at once unless the player's character can deal with large groups of enemies quickly (Simpler enemies work better for this)
Make the enemies move and attack in different ways to provide more of a challenge to the player as well as to make them more interesting.
Make their designs interesting but keep it simple, if they're going to be appearing multiple times throughout the game they need to look interesting to not make them boring and generic but not too complex as that could distract the player
Make it feel unique rather than just having it be a generic level (Think Sonic Mania rather than Super Mario Bros)
Introduce the gimmick of the level in a safe controlled environment and slowly increase the difficulty of the level and the situations with the gimmick over the course of the level (Working backwards through the level may help with this, Look at Megaman 11 and Shovel Knight for examples)
Appealing
Style
Possible Idea: Match the style of art from when the chosen myths were around
Layers

Foreground
