Hello ladies and gentleman, Been a while since I've posted on here and I'm looking for some input on my new level "Midnight strike on Alteco". It's Medieval themed and the story is your attacking the kingdom of Alteco. You'll find Alteco knights and traps along the way and inside the castle. "Midnight Strike on Alteco" PSN: Drift05 Here some pictures! :arg: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c356/loboloco05/APhoto_4.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c356/loboloco05/APhoto_6.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c356/loboloco05/APhoto_2.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c356/loboloco05/APhoto.jpg

Hey Drift, I just finished a play through of your level. I had a lot of fun with it and really enjoyed the medieval theme. You did a great job of capturing the feeling of an attack on the castle and I felt that I was part of a larger group, with the way my soldiers would sometimes be fighting in the background, or protecting my against arrows. All of that was very cool! I did run into an issue with the bow and arrow at the beginning that almost made me give up. I'm not sure what the problem was, but it took me forever to hit the last knight at the very top. The other two were easy, but that last one, man, was it frustrating. Other than that issue, I didn't run into too many other trouble spots. The level was well detailed in terms of the medieval elements that were thrown in, like the swords, axes, candles, etc, but I felt that it seemed a bit bland in some parts. I'd suggest making the interior of the castle a bit dark and then used candles and torches to light the hallways. Then, maybe add some more scenery to some of the empty sections to make it even more detailed.

Ok i played your level, although i havnt finished playing it yet, i went to a friend's house and stopped playing it. (And yes i am typing this at his house XD) So far heres some of my review, i will add more when i actually finished the level. Pros: +Its a really polished level, i like the various enemies there are in the level. +Its hilarious, all those little knight guys fighting each other and some killing each other (I felt sad when i didnt save one of my fellow buddies) +Good Gameplay, the bow and arrow is a nice touch. +Cool effects, like when the torches go on when you climb up the stairs (This is right where i stopped and left) Cons: -The starting looks like a tornado hit, there's a bunch of random crap just glued together, if you could just neaten that up or even just make a forest and add an invisible wall in front of it XD. This level was really fun to play. 5/5 stars and a heart and i havnt even finished playing it yet! My F4F choice is my level Emotion Realm, if you could write a review on its thread that would be awesome, the link is in my sig.

Your level is a nice idea to start with so I was expecting quite a lot - especially since the only other really medival level I have played was by the great Wyth....... But, it's still lived up to high standards. Very fun to play and captures the medival attack-on-a-castle style gameplay. Pros: +Very well polished +The general gameplay is fun +The ideas all come together well +Great little touches (bow and arrow, flickering torches) Cons: - Occasionally a little bland Overall I rated it 4 stars and tagged it as "fun"

Great level! It was a lot of fun, and all the effects were pretty awesome. When i started the level and those soldiers raised their swords at once, i felt like a friggin emporor! The enemies are also very creative (my favs: the axe and macemen) with how you have to defeat them... it was MMesque though i'm not entirely sure what the guy at the end with a giant spork is... but meh . I agree with supercomputer- its kind of hard to kill the archers at the beginning. My problem was that i couldnt see them though- i saw where the arrows were coming from... ish, but it would be nice if the camera could encompass the archers as well. Some of the weapons felt a little exadurated (i think that crossbowman is compensating for something), but i'll chalk that up to creative licence. Overall, great level, now i want moar D:

Thank you for the feedback! I've fixed a couple things but it's a little hard since the level is pretty much full and I wish I could add more stuff. I'll try and work on the archer camera thing and play your guys levels.

Played through the level twice (I'll explain why in a sec.) and had a lot of fun. I needed to play it twice because the arrow section to lower the drawbridge didn't work the first time through. I think I hit all the knights but it was hard to tell. The bows are a little hard to manage too but eventually I got it to work. Not sure if having them in a fixed position with a bolt through the centers so they could still pivot but not flip on top of the player might make them easier to use for unskilled players. Your call on that. Lots of enemies to stomp on and some interesting variation in their design. I especially liked your knights with the fliping shields and the boss knight. Really nice design work there. The sponge ascent part was tricky for me - not enough warning of what to look out for. Camera angle might be able to fix that part fairly quickly. Boss was a good fight - not hard but satisfying. I liked your scoreboard design too up on the roof. Very fitting for it. There is a technical problem with it though. If, like Silverleon, you manage to get yourself killed up there. You re-spawn below floor levell on the bottom of the scoreboard. I'm not sure if you can lower the floor to be more even with the scoreboard part or just raise up the scoreboard - either one should fix this issue. Overall a fun level to play and nice to look at too. I gave it 4 stars and tagged it fun - Thanks for sharing it!
