It depends on the length and complexity of a stage. It's going to take a bunch of hours to make a typical level, so depending on how much time you have to work, expect each level to take multiple days.

That's one reason why I'd caution against planning an 80-level game. That's a very long and ambitious project for one person to tackle - few fangames have ever reached that length. Even professionally-made games are usually quite a bit shorter than that.

I'd suggest planning a much smaller number of levels - maybe something like 20. If you remain motivated to keep working on the game, you can always add more levels later on.
Course clear! You got a card.
