The Rotating Tube (survival level)

Archive: 12 posts


The Rotating Tube (survival level)moonwire
This is a very hard (after my opinion) survival challenge . I'll get impressed if someone makes it to 10 000 in score!
This level will not be H4H compatible...
all
I am planning on making 4 tube-levels, and this is the first one. The levels will consist of 3 survival levels and 1 difficult level.

You're the test subject number 3173 (yes, like in RAVE!), and you're going through main test 1. The rotating Tube. Surviving and collecting scorebubbles is the primary target.
:star:Tips:star:
If you want to survive for as long as you can, stay inside the tube at all costs.

WHY you're being tested is still unknown to you.


I will do 10 F4F's in total!

VERY IMPORTANT

You can find my level, searching for arcticpolar! The name will (maybe stand in levels played, and the author, (moonwire) can be found in hearted creators!

The level can also be found on arcticpolar's tenth page of hearted levels.

Umm, I forgot to write this, also: This level is made on my other profile, moonwire.
And it also looks like I also might have the same problem as NoVaKain16...

Houston, Houston, we have a problem!

ah man - yeah, I can't find your moonwire profile, or the level .. but I can find your arcticpolar PSN. Friend me if you want and I'll leave a F4F after I play your level.

Edit: I just saw your "moonwire" PSN because you or the people you played with uploaded a picture on someone else's level. It was on "The Cursed Planet" Although, the only reason I could find The Cursed Planet was because I friended NoVaKaiN16 .. this search system definitely has some bugs to be worked out!

Arcticpolar (moonwire),

Awesome level! The level design was very high tech and had the clean space like feel. I, of course, died the first time through but started to get the hang of it after a couple of tries. I will be going back for the high score!! I'm looking forward to finding out why sackboy is being put through these trials. And more tubes!!

Overall, it was challenging but fun. I don't have much in terms of suggestions to add or work on. The challenge itself is pretty solid and serves it's purpose well.

:star::star::star::star: and hearted, my friend!
Looking forward to the next tubing!

Just got done playing it! I tried it like 6 times, I couldn't stop! I gave you 5:star:'s, a "fun" tag, and a heart. If anyone cannot find this level, but you can find my PSN, look through my hearted levels - it's there - this is definitely worth playing and getting addicted to lol

You do have 2 small fixes though:
- In the third box at the beginning you say "cube" instead of "tube."
- There is a visible magic mouth just to the left of the tube that you drop down through (the one with glass)

Also, I would hide that wobble bolt where the level check points are, but that's just me

Great job!! I'll be playing this again I'm sure!

F4F - please check out my Real Myst: Channelwood Age level and tell me what you think! The link is in my signature - thanks!!!

Very fun. Got fourth place...got a little careless.

Very cool design, but once you get the hang of it, if feels as though you can just keep going and going and going. It would probably be very difficult to implement in a manner that is fair, but it would be cool if after every five or ten rotations some hazards would appear. Even if it were just one or two fire balls that would roll down, I think that it would add to the challenge and keep players on their toes. Maybe even implement a red hazard light and sound that warned the player of the forthcoming hazard stage.

Try experimenting with some hazards and publish it separately, maybe as a hard mode, to see how it works.

Great level! Makes me want to get started on my own survival level.

Ok, here is my review:

Gameplay: Simple, just run, jump and control well. The difficiculty is not too hard and not too easy, but it seems that the level doesn't become harder and harder. Anyway it's not as hard as you mentioned! Some fire, electricity or somethiong else could appear to make the level harder - or the tube just could move faster.

Idea: The idea is quite good. I haven't seen any similar level till now. (The story levels in the wilderness are only a bit like yours). I'd like to see the other levels!

Scenery: The scenery is just well done!! It looks really good: good forms and choose of material. Well done!

All in all: Good survival challenge. I like it.

Yes, I have thought about doing it harder, adding various deadly traps, so I think I will, Peachii and ElGueroGigante!2009-09-02 20:33:00

Very good level, there are often too few survival challenges made by people, and this was of a standard oft unseen by users. I'd rather that the scientist was used as the guide, since often custom characters don't look as good.

The level is not too difficult (but when you trip up, you really trip up =P) The level doesn't seem to get any harder, which maybe would make it more of a survival challenge.

Also What is the importance with the duck? I saw it and was like Wtf?

All in all, a good level, but with some room for improvement. Well Done!
(Didn't get to rate/Heart/tag etc, since the Playstation was stolen by my Brother) =/
