First and foremost, please forgive my tone in the duration of this thread, and if you're the creator of this level, then please, don't be discouraged by this thread, but take this as constructive criticism to better your levels because I kinda liked what I saw and thought it was pretty cool.
Also, I'd like to to point out that since I wasn't originally planning to make a thread on the topic, I only have one screenshot with me, so I had to resort to using outside sources for photographs of the level, which is something that I don't like to do as I like to present my own work, but I've decided that I'll give credit to the owner at the end of the thread because that's what normal people do.
So, the Ice Hammer Maze was actually quite fun at first, there were some pesky little snowball men that you constantly had to deal with, but they weren't too big of an issue. https://i.imgur.com/83cZcKY.jpg
However, that's when the level's biggest comes into play. There's a part of level where walking on the black parts will kill you, so you have to make your way across on a white line. Problem. Not only is the line super thin, there's snowflakes covering the screen and arrows coming out of nowhere that'll fly your Graalian straight to Canada if it so much as touches him! Which leads to a respawning, which is extremely inconvenient due to there being a 5 minute timer constantly ticking. https://i.imgur.com/SJEzESK.jpg
As you can probably infer, I ran out of time, which would be fine, assuming that the system only started me from the beginning, but that's not what happened. When the timer ran out, my Graalian was relocated back into the Gmap and the rock-thing that originally teleported me into the level disappeared. Which lead me into this thread with one, simple request to the developer:
Please, don't do the same mistake that Rockstar did, nobody likes timers.
Spoiler
The channel that I took the screenshots from is called "Caverinha JP" and clicking here will automatically redirect you to the specific YouTube video that I took the screenshots from.
As a disclaimer, I'd to point out that the video's audio is in a language that I do not understand so I have no clue on what he's talking about in the video. (There are subtitles, but I don't know how accurate they are.) But I assume it's about iEra because what else would he be talking about?
I also recommend turning down the volume for the intro, just in case you have sensitive ears.

I gave up on this level about 3 time, it's pretty hard to win cause in mobile your player move a huge chunk ahead everytime you press the movement key.

the maze can be frustrating but it’s certainly possible. just requires some patience and timing. you generally have to stand a little higher when going on horizontal tracks, otherwise you’ll fall. also memorize where the arrows are, then wait for an arrow to go by, go to the next safe spot, and repeat. best of luck if you continue trying it

The maze is frustrating, but it wouldn't matter too much if there wasn't a 5 minute timer constantly ticking.

I'm good in this maze lol, I got all the swords from it, Holly Sword from 2015, Icicle Hammer 2017 and Snow Flake Sword 2018. I don't remember if it happened in 2016 tho.

imo this is one of the easiest snow mountain so far lol. The line has been thinner before i think and its not very hard to remember where/when the arrow is gonna shoot

I think it'd be way better if the following was done;
Whoever is participating uses a morph that makes you small so you see where you are exactly essentially.
They have something where arrows come out of like a red box so you know the area.

This maze almost broke my tablet.
I still can't get the melee. And now that I think about it, it's a pretty useless melee so I dont think i'll even try to get it...

Took me 3 tries to complete it this year. My suggestion would be to make the ice mountain easier to find. You could do this by adding 2 or 3 into the map instead of just 1.
I nearly bet it but ran out of time, the most annoying part in the event is that hill you have to go over, the snowmen always hang around there or go to the hill making it hard, you can’t shoot or use a melee or else you’ll go down,
Ice skates work too. And you don't have to kill all the snowmen, only the ones blocking your path.

Pretty sure this was used last year for Christmas 2017, I edited two parts of it to make it slightly different. I moved around the bubbles that are at the end of the level that either take you up or back down before you go grab the Snow Flake Sword. I also changed the part where you have to walk along the white path and dodge arrows. I managed to do it simple on my iOS and on my Staff account. It is hard but thats how its meant to be.
The line hasnt changed thickness in any way lol cos all tiles are 16x16 pixels and I used the same tiles just of course changed the layout of the path.
If you want to know where youre standing then use your shadow as your shadow is what determines if you are on or off the path I believe, or at least the lower half of your character.
Like someone has said before do it part by part dont rush it, wait for arrows to pass then do that part and wait for the next arrow and so on. Yes its timed but doing that I managed to complete it with two minutes left.

First things first, thank you for taking time out of your day to do so.
But with all due respect, bare in mind that timers aren't necessarily a bad thing, but when the system kicks you out of the level... then teleports away to an unknown location once the timer is up... the level doesn't get classified as "fun".

I have no control over that part, I only changed the two parts in the level.
