The Lord of the Rings - Assault on Minas Tirithpocoroo
Play as a minion of the dark lord Sauron and lay waste to the good forces of Minas Tirith. Mumakil and Seige towers will help you in battle. This is mostly just an artistic and creative level, certain pieces took a long time to make (seige tower, oliphaunt, warriors).
*This level uses the paint gun*

I'll check it out but when it comes to LOTR, Takelow has set the bar quite high.2009-07-20 21:50:00

Ok, i played your level.

I found there was great details in it. Your Mammoth and trebuchet are really impressive.
The characters are well done and i found a good atmosphere in the level. I loved the details around LOTR (mammoth, trebuchet with gobelin, tree of Minas tirith).
However, i think that the first part of the level is a little static. I mean, there is a lot of things happening on screen, but the player only have to shoot with the paintinator. And...yeah...the paintinator...i think it is not really in the LOTR spirit.

Nevertheless, i rated the level 4 stars for the good work!

I played this one last night and thought it was a great idea for a level. The mumakil was really nicely done and I liked the archers shooting from the top of him. I get that the paintinator is supposed to be like being an archer and it's a good alternative to actually making a firing bow and arrow stand there. Not exactly LOTR style but I understand it.

The city part was nicely done. A bit hard to stay in the layer I wanted sometimes but not too bad. I liked the burned tree detail. Poor mankind - the bad guys win

My only suggestion would be to make the part on the mumakil a little faster. It's paced very slowly.

Otherwise a good level and nicely done. I rated it 4 stars thanks for sharing it!

thanks for the feedback guys,

as for the mumakil, I have had lots of people tell me it should be faster, and I am planning on making it faster as well as giving the enemy archers more health, hopefully i won't run into many problems.

Thanks

Your level has a variety of good things from LOTR.

taking part in an Mumack... elephant thing, cant spell it for money.... i'd try hard of course for money

Taking part in a seige and then fighting your way up MT.

I'm not going to bother re-iterating the Mum-elephant could be faster.

But overall i found everything else about the level to be actually rather good.

I'd appreciate it if you'd give my new level The Artists World a spin.
