Festival of LightsDOUK_NOUK_KEM
http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/DOUK_NOUK_KEM/FestivalofLights.jpgThis beautiful tour through the temples at night isn't quite as relaxing as you'd think thanks to a combination of precise platforming and tricky vehicle segments!

As with lots of levels, there's an unlockable race - but it's certainly not easy to open up. You'll need to find and collect three frustratingly placed prize bubbles *AND* ace the level! (Though not necessarily at the same time.)
all
This is my third published LBP level, and by far the one which I've put the most effort into. I'm aware it's not perfect, and it probably has some buggy spots, so I'd love some constructive criticism.

The level is unfortunately not tested for multiplayer. If you want to test it and tell me what happens, that'd be cool, but please keep in mind it wasn't designed for it.

Also, please no feedback along the lines of "It's harder than the average LBP level/I got frustrated and gave up at [x part]." I DID say it was a tricky level.

Edit: If you're going to 1 star the level, then please tell me WHY instead of just doing it passively. I can't get better unless you offer some kind of feedback.

Hey, Douk. guess what? I can finish this brutal lvl!!! OMG!!!

I played it 3 times and finally i beat it!!!
The lvl look nice.
good lighting
The obstacles are great. I love the frustrated vehicle and the pioson elevator idea. The giant roller at the end is fun too

It's extremely hard! and frustrated in the first half! you should give us more room to survive or more lifes to spend, douk.
Gameplay after the first half is better and less frustration. great!

The poison at the elevator is kinda hard to see. why don't you put something behind them so player can see where exactly they are

Overall
i dunno......I can give it 3 stars because it's really frustrated in the first half. But it got better in the 2nd half which i'm willing to give it 4.
then...:star::star::star::star:+/-
it's wierd. I enjoy it and hate it in the same time

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I'm aware of the poison gas visibility problem - the thing is, I just can't work out how to make it more visible. I made it all red (as opposed to the black it was when the level was first uploaded) but it's still hard to see. Do you know of any material that might highlight it better? I'm using "temple stone" behind it for now, but it's still pure eyestrain.

I'm glad you enjoyed the level even if it ended up being frustrating. That's kind of what I was going for. I take your point about more lives, and do you think it might be a bit easier if i made the gaps in that "moving up and down electricity block" part near the start a bit wider?

I'm going to play your F4F level as soon as I'm done with the one I'm right in the middle of playing, so gimme a few minutes and i'll post feedback in that thread.

Hm, that's bizarre... It's certainly not locked, I can see someone playing it right now. My only locked level is the "Nightmare" version of Castle of Rage, which you can unlock by beating the regular version.

I'm not sure if the location you choose on the globe when publishing affects finding the level, but I published Festival of Lights kinda over eastern Europe.

I couldn't get passed the first obstacle, maybe put a double checkpoint?

child's play (sounding tough)

I love a hard level, and your doesn't disappoint. The only part i really had trouble with is the first obstacle the rest were hard but i got through them pretty easily.

The only suggestion i thought of while playing your level is concerning the "frustrating vehicle": The walls are grab able making controlling the thing very tedious. (or maybe you like it that way ).

You should definitely check my levels out they're pretty tough.
