The crates, if left alone, serve as a barrier that helps people avoid the clouds at the top. The ability to destroy it at any time gives players an interesting choice, I think.

Good idea for level 1. Level 3 is supposed to be indoors, so stars don't really work, but I might add something else in the background.

Well, it's too late to change now. Levels 3, 4, and 5 are designed with pretty large numbers of players in mind. Now that we have 32-connection online play, I doubt they'll always be too big, but they might usually be too big.
I'll reduce the sizes somewhat in Episode 2, since it means less work for me anyway.
