Wow!! Sky town looks really good! I have gotta play this one next time I go on.

Woah, you've done a concept drawing for it also, If you go to that much planning this must be good. Well... at least visually anyway, but I can see that from the pics. = D

Lookin forward to playing Robot Town too.

Welcome to the forums jump_button!

You've got some pretty good art skillz, just looking at that sketch. I'll have to try these out. You should consider putting this thread up for F4F (feedback for feedback) it means people will be more willing to give you feedback, but you'll have the opportunity to check out their levels and return the favour.

Hey Jump_button, I played your "Sackboy in Sky Town," level. It is now one of my favourite levels in LBP. Here are the good and bad points about this level:

(lets get the negative points out the way)

- First of all, I know it's pretty minor. But when you first land in the level, your surroundings look pretty boring.

- Not enough detail on the clouds. I can't help but think that you should polish up the clouds in a way, maybe texture them with that cloud sticker?

- The rope bridge at the beggining can be slighty annoying somtimes.

- The bird enemies aren't the best looking (at least I think they are birds.) If they are, they should be flying.

- Climbing the windmill bit should be longer.

- The section where you get hoisted up by the hook isn't long engough. maybe, you could make the black gas into storm clouds?

- A few visible emmiters and magnetic key switches.

Positive points

+ FANTASTIC detail on the buildings, a real treat to look at. I love the way they look as well, the abandoned, run down feel.

+ I really like the timber scafolding that's holding everything up. Another thing that contribute's to it's messy, run down feel.

+ Fun windmill gameplay mechanic. You can get stuck in the rotating fans though.

+ Great platforming sections.

+ The ending is hilarious!!

Overall is a super fun level, and you have some great idea's.

Rated 5 stars and a heart. Tagged- "Beautiful."

Played both sky town and robot town.

Heres my feedback:

I found both levels to be really beautiful especially the structures, the windmills the dilapidated bridges.

The gameplay on both levels offer a good challenge and that they test your timing skills.

But there were parts that didnt look right like the background clouds for sky town.. i think all of your clouds needs a complete overhaul, the material you chose for your clouds was great but the cloud formations were a bit OFF.

The creatures didnt fit in the sky town level either. Their sorta out of place, and i think its the material their made off. i suggest doing a redesign on them.

I also suggest adding some point bubbles, to keep the player busy while enjoying the nice scenery.

Now the Robot town was a little better IMO, since you did have some point bubbles. (Point bubbles not only keep the player busy, it also makes players have sense of competitiveness to score higher for a higher rank in the score boards)

Great visuals, but its kind of short maybe adding a robot monster boss in the end would make it even better.

I also suggest having double life checkpoints in your tricky parts.

Overall i rated both levels 4 stars and Beautiful. plus a heart.

(No need for F4F on my Karas level, just a play would suffice)

Sky Town rhoacks! 4 stars! :star::star::star::star:
The design is way great and, dayum, your drawing is fabulous (although it is not part of the level, but oh well). BTW, the enemies were kinda... poor, maybe they should be better so they merge with the level design. And the traps were kinda ugly, I suggest instead of black-eletric-stuff and black horrible gas a real storm cloud, that should be awesome.
