Cheese in the Dark

Cheese in the DarkAselrahc
Percy the Packrat has accidentally thrown you in with his collection of random trinkets. He feels awful and invites you to party with him in his cheese vault! On your way there, however, you make a wrong turn and find yourself in a strange subterranean world complete with a monster guarding a magical stone.
As with most of my levels there are secrets to find and lots of score bubbles to be won!

This is not my first level, but it is the oldest one I have published. So far 4 stars! A worthy adventure. Feedback is always welcome!
I am considering joining F4F but am concerned with the fact that I only am online about once a week. So for now I'm just getting aquainted with the site and the community!

Really cute level! I'll post more details as I'm short on time but wanted to just say I enjoyed this one a lot. Great lighting! I'll be back with a more detailed comment though.


EDIT: ok - lots of stuff that I liked in this level:

+ Great lighting
+ Fantastic camera usage
+ Cute story
+ Moderate platforming difficulty so good for broad appeal of players
+ Well done Vignettes (the dock with the baloon, the columns you have to climb, the cliff edge after the mushrooms, the final scoreboard area)
+ Great usage of objects and decorations

Not much I didn't like at all but a few things I can mention:

- not very multiplayer friendly in places.
- Some areas are very dark (on my HD TV it was fine but others may find it too dark to see at times - minor nitpick on my part)

Overall a fantastic level and the first of yours I've played. I've since played all three and this one is I think your 2nd best but that's saying something as I very much love your level design style. I gave this one 5 stars & hearted it. Thanks for sharing it and I'm looking forward to more levels from you!

I didn't understood if the level was short or if I enjoyed it so much that it seems too short.
I really enjoyed the visuals, but that's already a given, since you already show some awesome visuals skills.
I also loved the fact that you came up with a good, simple, fresh story.
5 stars and a heart.

Hey Aselrahc,
I played your level a few hours ago with a few sacks and it was a fun trip!

Going into it, I thought I was going to be jumping from cheese to cheese-platform.
I was happy to find out that was not the case, haha.

I pretty much agree with everything Morgana said as we played it at the same time and ran into the same minor nitpicks.
It was a little dark in places, I don't know if my LCD was too dark or if it was the level though.

It deserves 5 stars and a heart but since I wasn't the host I haven't had a chance to rate it.
When I see it again, I will do so.

Well done!! Looking forward to playing your other stuff!

Okay, sorry it's been so long since I was on. Thank you all for your positive feedback!

Just wanted to say that I lightened the level by one notch on the slider for all who may have had trouble seeing in the dark! I will be looking at the final race where I've noticed some of my friends have trouble getting in the ball. They grab it first and it goes skittering down the ramp before they jumped in! Pretty funny if you ask me, but I will see if the thermometer will let me fix this problem.

Thanks again everyone!

Can anyone please tell me if this level is a creepy good for Halloween level? I've been keeping a list of levels I'll be playing on Halloween, but I am unsure about this one, and I can't play to find out in case it is since I'm not playing any of them until Halloween.

So should this be on my list or not? If not I can play it anytime, otherwise if it's creepy it goes for that night.

I don't know if "creepy" would accurately describe this level. But you should definitely give it a go on Halloween night. If anything, you'll have lots of fun playing it.

I can't believe this hasn't received more plays/comments. It's really a beautifully done level. 2009-10-21 05:47:00

It truly is, so is your other stuff. Great creators do get looked over it seems.

I like this level. The bridge part seems abit predictable but cool nonetheless. The monster squid thing that you kill with a diamond was cool looking, but harmless. The laser balls just hit the switch instead of sackboy. The level doesn't look that dark, but maybe thats because you fixed it? i dunno, but the way this looks is just really awesome. 4 stars and heart.2009-10-22 04:55:00
