Mars Attacks II: Dropship Down Secret Challenge

Archive: 22 posts


I have just published my new level Mars Attacks II: Dropship down. Hidden in the level are 8 dog tags you have to find. I'm rather confident that no one will find all 8 so I'm offering a competition.

The first person to find all 8 secrets, and post a picture either here, or on the level of them in front of the secret tracker at the end, with all the lights green will win 500xp. I'll also add your name to a magic mouth in front of the secret tracker to say you found all 8 secrets first. If no one finds all 8, no one wins and I get to keep my hard earned XP

The competition will run until 7pm Sunday night GMT. Have fun.

Here is the showcase thread. (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=14016)

Wow... this is a cool idea.. I only found 2 when playing for fun, but a nifty incentive to revisit as I was hoping to find more anyway!

...but knowing you, finding all 8 is going to be quite hard!!!

no he didnt! The toughest one was that teaser one (the one you see while falling at the end) for me. It took several playthroughs of tedious decoration removal to find them all, believe me 2009-07-24 09:02:00

Photoshop! Photoshop!

Great level Grant,
really enjoyed it.

- That intro was spectacular!
- Your knack for twisting back and forth through a level shines through once more
- Again your atention to detail is what brings you up a class
- oh I played it twice and both time i got stuck up behind the rock above the big monster. i think it was when i popped one of his brains I bounced up and couldn't get out without hitting retry.
- Also before you start fighting the martians that come down on either side one of the speach bubbles says "sike force" instead of "strike force"

Overall, this was a great level, with the high level of detail, fun and action that has become well associated with you.

I added you to the magic mouth burnvictim, and cc is sorting the xp out

Congrats again, I thought no one would have found the one you see in the lift, you've got a keen eye

Now that the mystery is solved, are you going to divulge their hidden locations? Or would that just ruin the fun?2009-07-24 14:42:00

Congrats Burnvictim, you have achieved what others couldn't!!
I might take your advice and start deleting every single decoration in Fluffles' level.

I just would like to know if you need to remove decorations to find some of them. I saw one place where I thought there might be one, but I couldn't get to it. Also, that one you get teased with at the end is a complete mystery.2009-07-24 21:13:00

Also, that one you get teased with at the end is a complete mystery.

That one in the end is indeed quite brutal! I actually thought it was laughing at me for a couple of times.

That seems to be the hardest one and perhaps we need to remove decorations around that area, completely destroying everything Fluffles worked so hard for.

Well, BV showed me the two that I hadn't found, I must say that they are very tricky. I had seen the trigger for one of them, but I couldn't work out how to get to it until BV showed me. The last one (the one that taunts you at the end) was just unfair. I just assumed it was sloppiness! How in the world did BV figure that out!?

Unfortunately, I failed to find one of them that I had found before, so I still only came out with 7. Curse you for your addicting level!
