Hooo boy! I knew when I saw the title this was gonna be good!

I enjoyed the little safari ride. normally I don't go in for long intros, but this was great to watch, and I didn't mind even a little. the scout was incredibly well done, with all the stickers making it look worn and torn.

I loved the break away windshield, and the way the meerkats popped up to the music. out-standing!

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt210/swanbrown/utility/swanbullets.jpg the music choices are great...except at the very end when the scoreboard comes up. is the tired old MGS music REALLY necessary?

This is such a great level, I didn't really find all that much to critique, so in lieu, I've taken some screen shots..I left most or the REALLY cool stuff to be discovered and was careful to avoid spoilers:

For the F4F thing, Either one of the levels in my sig are fine.

Gonna heart this, and post that any one giving it less than 4 is a frog-licking-dimwit in comments.

I gave it 5		2009-08-20 01:39:00

I have enjoyed your levels a lot this week. The Annoying Publisher was great but Run For Love was my favorite.

Unfortunately you didn't top yourself with this one! It plays well but looks a little empty and lacks the charm of you other levels. By the bunch of meerkats I could jump out of the game area to the floor of the level, you may want to cover that hole.

I gave you an author heart a few days ago and was hoping for more stuff soon. Too bad we have to wait for so long.		2009-08-20 03:14:00

Checked this out and it's cute for sure. I love the story and the merkats are hilarious.

Wanted to let you know it's possible to jump to the floor amidst the large area of merkats but it appears that kipmolin already mentioned it. While it looks good there aren't a whole lot of things to interact with. The only other thing I would recommend is speeding up the truck at the front of the level - it's a long ride.

I gave it 4 stars. I'll have to check out your other levels too as I did like the visual style you have.		2009-08-20 08:42:00

I loved this level, it was very funny! The Meerkats were hillarius and the army of them looked fantastic. I didn't find any problems with the level... i didnt notice the hole that others have commented on. Although i did find the boss a little easy! Still a fantastically funny level- 5 stars.

For f4f, try my level- Whichever way the wind blows- Blue... Its also got 5 stars!		2009-08-20 17:52:00

Thanks guys, love the comments. I put some gas where the meerkat army is so you dont fall through and i fixed a few other bugs. I'll get rid of the mgs cliche jingle at the end and trade it with cheering (there needs to be some excitement) and speed up the car to 6 or 7... it's at 5 now.2009-08-23 15:16:00

I stumbled across this level quite by accident and played it as it sounded cool. I wasn't disappointed! Liked the set up and the look, and the meercats cracked me up - was giggling the whole way through! I found some bits quite tough, especially the electrified rockets which you had to jump over, but on the whole it was challenging, but not ridiculously so. Liked the idea behind the level too, and the meercat army scene!

The only thing I would say was that when you fall down and the level goes dark, I seemed to get stuck and had to kill myself in order to carry on. Is this supposed to happen or was it just me? If it's supposed to happen, and you do have to kill yourself, then perhaps a hint, so that players aren't groping in the dark before they give up and die?

Really liked it though anyway - good job!

If you fancy a look at one of my levels, Monster's Lair is in the Cool Levels section, and Sackboy's Adventure in Egypt is in the Level Showcase. Am always grateful for people's thoughts! 		2009-08-23 22:25:00

I played this level today and thought it was great, 5 stars!

Great visual still and loved the meerkats, reminded me of pokemon 'Meeka Meeka' the big army of them looked pretty cool and a boss battle at the end was a nice way to finish. There were a lot of score bubbles, but they were very well placed.		2009-08-23 23:29:00

Wow very nice level. I love how you took story mode characters and gave them different stories. One thing I noticed when I played that I think you should fix is there's a part where you get abducted and you didn't put the darkness all the way up so you can see where you're falling, I think it would be way better if you can't see where your falling. Other than that it was really great, I gave it 4 stars and hearted it.2009-08-24 19:28:00

Ok, I saw this one on cool levels and remembered you had a thread here so I gave the level a run through. I really enjoyed it, and I'm glad I played it.
The meercats were hilarious, in fact the whole story was so crazy and warped that it was funny rather than scary. Not a critism, because LBP is never meant to be scary.

Couple of critisms though:
- The boss (massive meercat) can be killed without going into a dangerous area. Just standing to the side and shooting when his nose is in range is simple.
- The car journey at the beginning is a little slow.

Five stars and hearted		2009-08-25 11:03:00

A fun and very cute yet bizzare level. I enjoyed pretty much everything about it, especially the meerkat army with the caps on their heads. A thouroughly enjoyable level. My only gripe with it is the one section where you must make an uphill climb while avoiding an electrified rocket. When you get towards the top it is imposible to the rocket because of the layer in front of it. You may want to find a way to fix that as it really caught me off guard the first few times.

Other than that I have no complaints. Good stuff!

As far as the F4F goes, if you would not mind playing "The Adventures of the Prince: Chapter 1 The Attack, I would appreciate it. My level thread can be found by clicking on my sig.		2009-08-26 01:34:00

played this the other day...not much to say other than its great fun! everything was fun to look at...and the challenges were fun to overcome. Although if you do a sequel, you should make the meerkats 15% more psychotic! LOL...Awesome job, instant classic! Nice job!2009-08-26 02:47:00

The music, placement of bubbles, and the story line where ingenious. However, looking back, I feel the gameplay in my level wasn't all that great. Comming back from college I've found that I'm a better creator and will remake this level so it's garunteed 5 starts and a 1/3 heart to play ratio. I might even make a sequel. I'll keep everyone posted!

Try my new race level... "Meerkat Pirate Island." You're gonna love it!		2010-06-05 20:21:00

It's cool that you're remaking it. The storyline in the original was great, but it needed a tad more in the graphic/gameplay department. Can't wait to see the final result!2010-06-05 21:21:00
