Okay, after playing the map with bots and just exploring it in general, here's what I have to say.
(Warning, semi-wall of text incoming)
Firstly, there's only one spawn point. So...Add more.
Secondly, the map is a little cramped. Barely any room to do anything. Also, it would be much too easy to get some good weapons (more on that later) and go to the top of the map and kill everyone. A couple of instant death pits seem to be there just to take up space and aren't necessary.It would be an improvement to put some walls around the top floor, so you don't have access to everything straight away.
Thirdly, there's an odd weapon selection here. I don't see much use for power stone, and ring boomerang and pharaoh shot on the same floor? Probably a bad idea. Mirror buster...Is too easy to get. All you have to do is jump down from the top of the map to get it. This is made even easier, since the only spawn point is basically on the top anyway.
Lastly, item selection. The E-tank is way too easy to get. Like the mirror buster, you just jump down and get it. Health is everywhere, with small health capsules littered across the map and large ones put in random corners. Bad idea to put two large health capsules in one spot, which is what happened a few times.
...Phew. Sorry if I went overboard there.
Condensed version: Add more spawn points, use items more sparingly, move the weapons around and just make the map a little bigger.
The level has potential, but you'll need to keep working on it to achieve that level.
