Selecting which levels to play is friggin' confusing
I hope what follows serves as constructive criticism.

There is a message in the level select panel saying you should pick the levels you want and select "play" in the menu. There are several problems with this:

1- The game's main lobby is seemingly called the main menu (that's where I went to when I pressed "main menu" in the the game's option menu), so I thought I had to simply go to the green "play" flag in the corner of it.

2- That was wrong, so I looked in the options menu for the button. Turns out the button is not really called "play", but "playlist".

3- As you add levels to the playlist, there is seemingly no way to track what the playlist currently looks like. If you make a mistake along the way and it's not the last level you added, you have to re-do the entire thing.

4- One would think then that you'd manage the playlist via the "playlist" button in the options menu, but no. Refer to item 2.

5- I forfeited one level that was too hard and went back to the main menu (I suppose that was the only level in the playlist). I added new levels to play and hit the playlist button. I was back to the same level I had just forfeited. Turns out that nope, the playlist doesn't get . But this time I forfeited it and got sent to one of the levels I had selected instead.

6- Finally, the level order in the playlist is counter-intuitive; the last level you added is played first, so it goes backwards than what you would expect from making a song playlist, for example.

The user experience when selecting which levels to play is very bad. It needs a serious overhaul.

There's a visual list of the levels you've put in the playlist right above the level buttons, it's the large board above it.

The green play flag is only for playing the built in levels (level 1 through 15) and it keeps track of your last played level in that series, the playlist is for playing levels in any order you put in and playing custom levels.
