This level is inspired by Doctor Who and the latest episode, but does not contain any spoilers.
You have done todays shopping and are taking the bus home. But something weirds happens on the bus.
Would love feedback. And, since I'm not so very good in english, If there are some grammar errors, please let me know that to
Update: I've updated the level with what you all wanted, a restart point for the slide

You know, this one was simply fun. It had a great off beat, alternate reality kind of vibe to it. The experience was short and sweet, and different than anything else I've played.

The only issue I had is that the first time I played it I got into the middle of the sliding board... and at some point the board was crushed, so I had to start over. The 2nd time everything went well and I finished.

The special effects were exemplary, and for a nice, different experience I would definately recommend this. I gave it 4 stars. Nice job!

OK here we go...

1st impression: Not crazy about the buildings but nice job on the Bus!


Ok rode the slide down to the right, then back left...didnt make it to the platform I think it is supposed to stop at. Not sure though. tree nearest the edge fell over when I jumped on it. I jumped... a picture was taken and I fell into gas. Restarted at the top...no bus...run down sliding on glass end up off the screen and above me I can see a permanent switch.

Restarting...

OK lost the board again ended up falling through a hole and getting to a lower level but don't know where I am to go...Back at the start.

Fell through same hole..

restarting...

OK everything worked that time made it to the Lab. I really liked how when you got to the platform I was at before on the sled that it moved you down to the next layer.

helped with the bus but didn't know to go left.

Got to the message that says 'This what 'power' my Wormhole machine.' Should be 'powers'


Overall I thought you had some good elements and some of it looks pretty good. You really need alot of polish. Where your machines are seems very bare. Your buildings at the beginning are a little plain they need some other stuff around them like benches, trees, signs other people something.

Good start but needs some work


3 Stars and a Speedy Tag.

keep at it if you like this one you can make it better if you have any thermo left. I know how much thermo those glass slides take

just played it and like several other people i had to restart 4 times to make it to the end :-(

+ bus is cool
+ love the trees. most trees are stactic, but these slightly move like there's wind blowing, nice!
+ the cave after the slide was a nice surprise (was a bit afraid it was gonna be a slide all the way till the end)

- some parts really could use a bit of decoration and lightning
(like the houses for example)
- you need to work on the gameplay because restarting that much just to finish a level is a bit frustrating :-(

with a bit of work this could turn out to be a pretty fun level

Thanks for all feedback. I'm trying as best as I can to smooth out the slide when I have the time.
But it's weird. I've played it with 2 and 3 players over internett and it has worked fine. But if it continiues, then I'l recomend it for 1 player.

@Mother-Misty: Actually, all the threes are moving. Just some of the lowest branches are stuck to the ground but they all move

Hi I just played your level to respond with some feedback and I too had to restart a few times to get to the lab. The first time my sled flipped and I flew over the edge just after the snow falling part and landed in the game, the second time I grabbed as soon as I hopped in the bus and the floor panel slid out the back (maybe you could attach it to the bus with dissolve that goes poof once the bus reaches the place it's supposed to) but the third time I managed to make it all the way there (Quick note on spelling, it's 'experiences' not 'experienses&apos. The lighting effects are great, very weird, but maybe your level should have a flashing lights warning? The sled ride was really fun when I got it to work all the way there, but I think the hills and such in the layer in front covered up the player too much, I like to see my sackboy looking terrified when he slides down an icy mountain

In the lab, the checkpoint is behind the sackperson NPC, and it's frustrating to move over and hop out from behind him if you keep dying on the moving platforms. After the top of the bus flies away it's not obvious that you're supposed to go to the left, perhaps the sackperson could tell you that you've done everything needed over in that bit and that the door is open or something? I thought something had broken.

What's with the block of sponge on the roof of the building to the left of the checkpoint? You can see it when you end the level and it made me think I'd missed something, like the vehicle wasn't shot as far as intended or something.

Overall a really fun level, and I'm not a fan of Doctor Who but I still appreciated it I rated it 4 and gave it the 'Weird' tag.

I had a lot of fun with this level. I enjoyed the opening scene and the slide down the mountains. At first, I thought that might be all it is, but then you add a bit more at the end for the player to do, which was nice.

The mountain side with the trees was very well done, but I felt that the cave/base at the end could have used a few more decorations and detail. The visual effects that you included were very cool though! I loved the ending teleport to the finish!

Fun level, I enjoyed it.

@MrOrangeOh: I've now fixed the annoying Sackboy NPC in the lab and also fixed something to show you where to go when the bus is taken apart. Think people of this forum would like it.
I havent fixed the bus yet. Are going to make a restart system that helps so you don't have to restart the entire level
And I am going to remove the sponge
Oh, and thanks for the idea for the flashing light warning. Will put that up.

@mrsupercomputer: Thanks. I am working on decorating the lab now. Allready put some stuff in there.


I am also goingn to try to get some secret stuff in this level to

UPDATE: I've added a checkpoint for the slide so you don't have to restart the entire level

Ok luckily I didn't have to experience all the restarts that all of these guys had, but I had fun with what you had. I loved the bus and the visuals looked nice overall.

My only problem was the length of it, but that's not really a huge issue because this type of level is meant to be short. Other then that I don't have many complaints because i didn't experience too many glitches simply because I played it alone.

Also i liked the little rabbit. I used to have one, but he passed away.

:'(

Other then that fun slide level. I usually don't like these, but this was enjoyable and like the user above said I liked the cool extra elements you added in to make it a little bit more then I thought it would be..

I gave it 4 stars and a quick tag.

I went back and played this, and it worked like a champ. Once again... LOVE the special effects and the Dr. Who feel it has to it. The slide down the mountain was well done, and the graphics were simple but clean. I gave it 4 stars and a hearrt.2009-05-12 04:16:00

Nicely designed, fun to play... The bus ride was great to watch, the slide was well done, not much else to say really as everyone has pointed most of the things I noticed out.

...Although I did get confused at the end... the glass door was ever so slightly hard to see on the glass wall. Yeah, kinda embarrassed about that.

4'ed. Keep up the good work!
