Stardust!Jaeyden
http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/littlebiggallery/images/1889/1_A_Photo_19.jpgHey y'all! Been a while since I've published anything. I fell down the BETA rabbit hole and forgot there was another side to this planet.......

Well, It's been one year since I made my first level in this game and I think I might as well celebrate by releasing a new level.
all
A spiritual successor to my old Starstruck series....this is Stardust! It's a bubble burner with plenty of distraction and things going on. There are some real big combos to be found by those willing to go there. 50x + and half a million points scores, should be the top of the board. Hope all my platformer friends enjoy....this ones for you guys. Thanks to mother-misty for the awesome badge!		2009-09-02 10:52:00

Yesterday I saw the pop ups of Misty playing the level "obsessively", but I thought it was the old series of levels.
I shall try this one since you were the creator of my 2 of my 5 favourite levels, the original Grinder and TyeDye.		2009-09-02 11:21:00

A dazzling cosmic trip brimming with grandiose lavishness!

Nothing short of spectacular! :star::star::star::star::star:		2009-09-02 11:52:00

GREAT game! I've played it 4 times now, and every time I play it I find a bit more gameplay depth. I keep seeing some way you allow the players to string points together that I missed the time before.

It's kind of interesting, because at first it seemed simple.. but you've got several mechanics in there I haven't seen before and didn't start to appreciate until I played it a few times - such as the invisible floor that goes up and down while it speeds up until it pretty much throws you into the final stretch - all the while I'm trying to follow the point bubble trail.

I also loved the "floppy wheels" (whatever you call them) where you can get on top and run along the floppy edges. I would have NEVER thought that would work in a million years - but it's a lot of fun.

Once again, fantastic frenetic addicting fun.		2009-09-02 13:15:00

Ahh, great to see you've finally pushed that "publish" button Jaeyden!
I was waiting for that since the first time i saw the level
Can't say anything bad about the level, totally my cup of tea! It's incredible fun and has a high replay value, a bit like when TyeDye meets Starstruck. I've played it lots of times and like it more and more everytime i play it.
btw: did you changed something since the first time you've published? The invisible platforms at the end seem to behave slightly different, or did you move some bubbles there?

5 stars, hearted and a big FUN tag for you!

hehe, yep sorry about that, ... need... to....master............bubbles....chain!
I'm already gonna appologize for further pop-ups

I think misty and I will be very competitive for the high scores in this one
I'm leaving on holidays in a couple of days, still have a ****load to do, but yeah... i can't stop playing this because you are at 1st place. If i forget stuff on my holdays, i blame it on you guys!

Really cool level. Great fun racking up combos. It feels like a mix between your "Starstruck" series and "Tye Dye". I have one gripe with the level though, the icon doesn't do much for it, any odd screenshot of a star or something would make it look so much better. Regardless, great job! 2009-09-02 15:15:00

Combo-tastic as usual!

I've played it about 10 times already, managed 9th so far. : / Which is a good job, because you barely notice everything going on on the background on the first couple of plays, pingy flowers ftw!

The 1st time through I found the very first section a bit weird to navigate through because on first glance, those Gargoyle decs have that flat edge running along the top that looks like you can jump on them. And i did. (laugh)

Glad to see you back with a new one finally!		2009-09-02 20:46:00

Hey thanks guys! Killian, I agree, that icon sucked. Changed it up...but still not happy with it. I'll keep messing around 'til I find a good look.2009-09-02 20:53:00

Another unreal experience! I love your style.
Great combo-chaining, and the 'floppy' wheels are fantastic!

Loved the ending as well. Very original, and felt natural.

5 stars and a heart!		2009-09-03 03:15:00

Really fun - love that it's got the combo challenge of tye-dye and the awesome style of the Star series you did. My best combo so far is 22 with a 17 close behind. Guess I'll have to work on it.

Loved how you not only incorporated the linear combos but you have fantastic layer work too that players have to pay attention too. Love he circle in circle areas and the floppy circles too. Very cool star motif too. 5 stars & hearted 		2009-09-03 03:27:00

I went to play Stardust and I think it is locked. It didn't show up in search, and when I check your profile, I see an icon with stars that's locked (not sure if that's it), and the onlocked levels doesn't include Stardust. Is it purposely locked now?2009-09-03 03:30:00

Stardust! is unlocked, I hope you can find it. I locked up my old Starstruck levels. They're outdated IMO. Stardust! should be sitting right next to my Tye Dye! level. If you're bored and want to see some of that old stuff, I think that there are keys to them all spread out through my open levels.2009-09-03 04:56:00

It's only showing 3 levels next to Tye Dye (directly next to it to left of it), FlutterBy!, Abyss! Episode 1, and a LittleBig Contra: Stage 7 below those.

If you have a full profile, will some levels not show up? Yesterday I searched for a level called The Ruined City / by Insanitys1w and it wasn't showing up as one of his levels. I have deleted a crazy amount of stuff from my profile, but I still get the profile full message. Because of this it also won't let me join someone or anyone join me as I get a "All players' profiles failed to load" message. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with those levels not showing up or not.		2009-09-03 05:34:00

Hmmm.....that's weird. Check like page 6 of the cool pages and see if it shows up for you there.2009-09-03 05:37:00

Did you make sure to actually click on his name after searching? Sometimes the level will only show up if you actually go into the author's page.2009-09-03 05:38:00

Of course, I know, I always do level search and then author search if level search failed. Lol. I always do the obvious things. 2009-09-03 05:44:00

Right, but I mean after doing the author search, although you technically should come up with all the levels by that author, that's not always the case. You sometimes have to click on one of the author's levels and then click on his name to get to HIS page.

Try that. 		2009-09-03 05:51:00

Hey! For you guys chasing the highscore...I've added a quickshot leaderboard at the very beginning of the level. Just grab the star right above the entrance. Emdubb has it right now with about 470k. Oh my!2009-09-03 06:01:00

OMG! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! *hugs*
It worked for Stardust, but didn't work for The Ruined City by Insanitys1w. I guess he deleted it. Anyways, now I can try Stardust! YAY! Lolz! ^_^		2009-09-03 06:04:00

Haha no problem. Glad I could help


Thanks for the leaderboard shot Jaeyden! I'm gonna have to seriously brush up on my skills if I want a shot at a high score 		2009-09-03 06:10:00

I had a couple of plays this morning Jaeyden, my level list was a bit full so I needed to get through as many as I could...I wish I could have stayed longer, but will be back.

Well, its another excellent level, the visuals and effects are top notch as always, and its great fun to play. The only bad thing, I get keep on distracted by the pretty things going past in the background and losing my multiplier or dying, but thats just me getting distracted way to easily.

I was going to write more, but I have to go out, the taxi has just pulled up....

Great fun as always, *****, brilliant, and hearted.

They really should invent that "more addictive than crack" tag I keep going on about, it fits you and Cubbages levels perfectly 		2009-09-03 16:26:00

The third one isn't outdated, I think it can still compete with the newer levels

Anyways, I loved this one! :star::star::star::star::star: and a heart =)		2009-09-03 22:24:00

Yes, nice one. Good flow, great combos and very enjoyable. Loved the trippy, colourful theme again. Solid, wholesome fun!

One small point - I loved the circles with the point bubbles, but I got trapped on the inside of two of them. It may have been my mistake of course, but it spoiled the flow on one of my run-throughs.

Second niggle - my score is NOT satisfactory! I will play this again to get more combos, especially through those darn wheels!

Well done 		2009-09-03 22:32:00

Another great platforming playground! I agree with MrsSpookyBuzz that the circles kind of ruined the flow because you can become trapped inside, but other than that, I had a lot of fun. Nice job!2009-09-04 15:26:00

Hey thanks guys. As for the circles....you can get out of the middle of each of them, play around with it and see. Try pushing down and X to shift out of the plane and grab the bottom of the wheel...or jump and grab the next wheel...or ride the inside up and land on top of the adjacent wheel. They're quite simple to get out of and have a lot of strategy in them for nailing the combos. So far I've been able to get a 54X combo from the wheels and you certainly shouldn't be getting trapped in there. The hardest wheel is the last one, but you absolutely can get out of it.2009-09-05 06:39:00

I'm not totally sure they mean they are actually getting trapped - it's more accidentally ending up in a different circle while trying to run across the top and pick up all the bubbles - but I considered it part of the challenge and took the circles into consideration - I saw the way you had them designed to keep the combos going.

Very cool stuff! It just adds to the depth.		2009-09-05 23:42:00

Jaeyden, my apologies that it took me so long to play this. I took my friend along with me into this level and the two of us had a blast, as usual! Great job! Especially loved the ending part!2009-09-13 21:44:00
