I had a love/hate relationship with this level. I loved it, and I hated the fact that I loved it. Why? because I was just not able to finish the level Your story starts out nice, but it doesnt leave much room for storyplot/twists i think I might be wrong though! I first got to the prison, It did feel like a prison, but some more visual guidance in the shape of lights/sighns might be nice, because eventually I ended on the back of that creature like mechanical think you see on the left when you just got in the prison.. and had no clue on where to go next. I think I got to the entrance three times before I gave up and went to plasmazone! *hears megaman music for plasmaman* Hey some speech.. aww.. its gone before I could even read it the platforming in this part is fun though, I enjoyed jumping around trying to avoid being hit by electricity. at a moment sackboy told me: "This part looks like it was renewed lately" that should be: "This part looks like it was renewed recently" Just a small typo I have to say, that diagonal climb.. urg.. too long and repetative.. halfway up I allready had something like.. shall I jump down?.. no.. must go up.. You might want to give the player a boost up for at least 1/3 of the diagonal climb! there where some stairs where an electro-orb dropped down in between, Even though you had to jump a lot, that was a very nice piece of platforming. though.. after that came the weird puzzle with batteries.. I just did not know what to do, the text was gone and did not re-appear, and I could grab stuff. My first assumption was a simple left/right/up/down logic.. but that wasnt it.. the batteries either dropped almost on my head, or in that case.. which.. again dropped the batteries almost on my head. I was stuck. And.. that was just at the point that I really wanted to finish the level.. So.. It took me a while to press the "return to pod" in my popit. I am sorry! I think you should try to guide the player more trough your level, with signs, hints, lights, clue's whatever you got. If I have the time tomorrow, Invite me and help me get trough the level.. I kinda want to see the whole level! I have not rated the level yet, but it has the potency to get 4.5 star and a lot of hearts if its more clear on what to do. now, Somewhere today me and TheAdipose will be releasing "In pursuit of the meddling magpie" and we would love it if you took a look at it and tell us what you think in https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=21134 cheers!

Okay wow. Luos_Desruc summed it up best with his "love-hate relationship." I?m pretty good at LBP (or at least, I think I am) and this level was so **** hard that I loved it, and yet I hated it. The things I liked, the story, the settings, the environments were all very good. The things I didn?t like... oh boy. - The dialog was a bit overwhelming. I like a good story, but when I see 8 word bubbles right at the start of the level it discourages me from reading any of them. Try to spread out the dialog or get rid of unnecessary stuff. -your teleporters are very cool but not explained at all and as I teleported from place to place I was never sure where to start. As I was playing this level there was a constant feeling of "am I in the right place?" I don't know how you can fix that, but I think you need to watch someone play your level without you telling them where to go. And then you might see the confusion. -the wonderland looked very bland compared to the other places, it had too many strait lines and it didn?t look like a wonderland. Also the spot you have to jump past the "death rain" was very confusing. The first time I tried I made it past but then thought, "That was easy I wonder if I?m even supposed to go this way" so I jumped back and died. From there I tried jumping through several more times and couldn?t make it. So I went to the prison. -the prison, since it was so dark it took me 30 seconds to get out of the box you start in (which made me wonder even if I was supposed to be here at all) from there I climbed over to the "thing" on the left and tried to climb it for a while, no luck. So I went back right and past the warning sign and to the section where the fire falls down the chutes donkey kong style. And I die. Since the only checkpoint was the one that I teleported here with (and it disappeared) is asks me "do you want to replay or quit this level" so I replay and have to start the level all the way over. 3 times I got to the donkey kong part and died on it and because there was no checkpoint, I had to start the whole level over. eventually I made it past that and to the end of the prison where it teleports you back to the "thing" on the left. but since I had no idea what to do, I fell off and left. You need more lights and checkpoints in this area. -then I went to the ISA place. I really enjoyed this place until you got to the diagonal climb I made it about half way up 6 times but would always die. and since it takes soooo long, I gave up. The diagonal climb needs to be shorter and possibly less steep. -went back to the wonderland and tried to jump through the rain again. after about 8 tries, I make it through and continue on. at the part where the big rock rolls down the hill it killed me and from there it took me all the way back to teleport machine at the beginning of the wonderland. from there, I tried to get past the rain 7 more times but never could. and honestly didn?t really care anymore. This level had so much going for it, but because of the lack of checkpoints/ lighting/ and explanation with the teleporters, I just gave up. I think I gave this level a fair shot. I died probably close to 40 times and spent close to 25 minutes playing (and had to restart 5 or 6 times). But it was too hard in some places. I gave it a heart because I really really want to see if you can work out the bugs, but I only gave it a 3 star, and I think that's fair. Sorry if this review came off as brutal, but you really need to test this with some friends and watch them die over and over again. Once again, I REALLY WANT TO LIKE THIS LEVEL, but you made it very difficult to like it. Since I didn?t really finish this level, I?m not sure if I can ask for F4F, but if you get the time, check out my "true life" and give me some feedback.
