This is a recommendation for this creator as a whole, as I think he/she has a good deal of talent but shot themselves in the foot as far as self-advertising.

Never before have I seen a level with detailed aesthetics and a clever, intricately designed and boss look like this "on the outside".

That would be the level "wa", with 0 hearts and 7 plays. (Well of course it didn't take off - it's named wa, that's like naming a level "kgfh", it's not even capitalized) Seriously, I've never seen a bigger disconnect before between what was in a level and the package it was presented in.

Bliss Island, probably this creator's best work, has an awesome intro sequence, a great story, and clearly no recognition. This creator's "first level", Chaotic Casino, a very challenging piece with creative enemies and very detailed and well designed bosses, has a few dozen plays and two stars.

Now I'm not saying this person is a Wexfordian-type creator by any means, but they've shown excellent talent and potential and seem to have received NO attention from it.

Please give this creator's work a try, I would hate for them to get discouraged at no one noticing their work and give up before creating some future opus.

Thanks. I'm going to check it out now.

Edit: Wow, he has some serious talent, but is definitely inexperienced.

His character models are fantastic, but his Achilles heel is making difficult levels, while only adding in single life checkpoints throughout. I wasn't able to finish most of them. That Bee boss in Bliss Island was probably the most inventive boss I've seen in lbp, which is saying something! The character models and scripted moments were very well done. Unfortunately, I died at those crabs (which looked really cool), and was unable to finish (I just couldn't jump high enough).

Is he a member here? I thought I saw those Crash Bandicoot boxes in the showcase somewhere...
