on/at levels
Moving from Toronto to New York City was a big transition for me on many levels.
Both the word searches and anagrams can be played on three levels of difficulty.
Season 3 was where they really ran it off into the ditch, failing on two levels.
Can I use 'at' instead of 'on' in the three examples?

In each case, you would be understood but the sentences would feel wrong. For abstract levels, like these, "on" is usually used. The only exception I can think of is "at X level", meaning an attainment, something that one reaches. For exemple: "He's really good at tennis. I wish I could play at his level."
Prepositions are very idiomatic, so often one must just learn which preposition comes with which expression.
