Is he's back going to work with the complete version of beta 4.

I'd be really sad if I couldn't replay that level again it's beautiful

I'm not getting to it right away, but I'll be working on patching HB to fix the compatibility issues and the lag-induced desync seen in mech's video.

Honestly, since I'd be making it B4-compatible there's a strong temptation to make a bunch of refinements beyond that and include tech I didn't have available in Beta 3 like shaders... but I'm going to do my best to keep the level accurate to the state it was in when it was submitted. I can save any further improvements to the level for a potential remaster or something after the SCC episode is done.

In my opinion the boss of he's back has lived up the hype

Awesome level and he's fairly challenging. Good job!

I wouldn't like to spoil the surprise for me, so I'll wait untill the episode is released to play this level. But still, congratulations for winning the first place. Well done, sport!

I so much liked these levels after seeing the Gameplay: Example "He's Back" SCC Winner, you designed the tileset cool, and I think I've played in a MAFAB 2 1st place boss stage that he appears in the end, and are you going to continue creating more levels or not?

The access is denied, can't download both of the levels.

Both links fixed. I was honestly considering just leaving them broken because there's something in both levels that didn't age well, but editing said thing out of Broadsword Goes Christmas Shopping was a quick one-line code change and I'm working on a Beta 4 update to He's Back that will change the thing in that level. So you can download the original Beta 3 version of HB for now, but once the B4 port is done I'll be replacing the upload accordingly.
