Robot Cave Ruckuss

Archive: 3 posts


The level is 'Robot Cave Ruckuss' and it's only just recently been published.

A Robot Overlord demands the rights to an underground cave (there's the property ladder for you), and burns the majority of it to clear out the residents- time for some robot decimating!

I think I put a lot of effort to get this level working properly and looking nice. Not saying that a large burning cave is nice. But, there's a couple of secret areas, a 3x player area, and a HUGE runaway-from-the-bad-guy scene, not to mention a race.

Please have a go, I hope you enjoy it. F4F welcome.

Solid level Breezy. This is one of the better fire cave levels that I've played.

Let me get the negative out of the way first... In the final chase at the end, I was too busy looking for pits to jump over that I didn't really get a chance to see the robot ship monster until after it was blowing up. It would be neat to get a good look at it before you start running.

Pretty much the only other thing that seems like it could be improved upon would be the enemies. I know that you're going for robot, and I know how much of a pain in the ... it can be to make enemies, but with the amount of detail you put into the rest of the level, they stand out as sort of awkward.

Visually, you succeeded in making the cave feel natural while still maintaining a good platforming layout. The variations in the wall patterns added a little something extra... helping to give and ancient, lived in feeling to the level.

Good thinking with the placement of the race portion. Just as the level seems like it will maintain the initial exploratory pace, that urge to get points kicks in and gets things frantic. I don't know what it is about grabbable rollers and fire levels, but that combo is always RADICAL.

would love it if you could check out any of the levels in my signature, preferably She's a Rainbow.

Wow, thanks! I tried to go for an arty level, maybe I could improve the robots. Heh heh.

I'll remove the pits to a point, or possibly remove them all and add an extra 'danger' around the final robot, maybe this could be a good chance to see the robot, after all, I did put a lot of effort into him. Or her. I'm not sure. :c

Thanks for the review, I'll get onto your levels, hopefully She's a Rainbow has something to do with The Rolling Stones, hehe.
