IceMaiden and the FireFoxCoxy224 http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/Snoogyface/APhoto_1-2.jpgOk, just wanted to have a bit of fun for my new level. It's taken a couple of weeks to make and is a little tribute to IceMaiden (not the Real one, the one who claims to be IceMaiden. Y'know, married to Rhy, ends every post with Icey, made that great set of levels.) So here it is all The Adventures of IceMaiden begins with: IceMaiden and the FireFox http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/Snoogyface/APhoto_1-2.jpg Name: IceMaiden Backstory: Forgetting to take her medication one day led to IceMaiden walking into a radioactive fridge ? which gave her the power of ice! Now she fights for good, to take down evil little punks like FireFox and Coxy224. Strengths: Ability to ?power up? and call upon the power of ice to take down walls and enemies Weaknesses: Terrible memory, fire Enemies: FireFox http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/Snoogyface/APhoto-2.jpg Home: The Ice Palace and The Ice Pod http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/Snoogyface/APhoto_2-2.jpg ------------------- Level Name: IceMaiden and the FireFox PSN: Coxy224 Now go kick some flaming ***! | 2009-09-25 18:22:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
IceMaiden and the FireFox, IceMaiden and the FireFox, IceMaiden and the FireFox, it does have a very nice ring to it. IceMaiden stars in IceMaiden and the FireFox, I can see the Oscar coming my way. I shall rub shoulders with the rich and famous........ Sorry Coxy, got a little carried away....... I have to be honest, I love this level a lot. The visuals are gorgeous and the colours are beautiful. It's brilliant to play, exciting, challenging with a great storyline. I didn't see this one coming! Brilliant work Coxy, hope there are more adventures to come! Five stars and you won my heart anyway!!! Rhy said I could say that! | 2009-09-25 19:51:00 Author: IceMaiden Posts: 1057 |
Oh IceMaiden, you've made my day I wasn't sure whether you'd like it or not - but thanks very much for playing it and loving it Thank you thank you thank you! | 2009-09-25 21:28:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |

(Does that mean you've made your own day? I'm so confused. lol) Oh it's so confusing! I think the fake IceMaiden has made the day of the real IceMaiden, but the real IceMaiden also made fake IceMaiden's day......if that makes any sense! You don't know that half of it... I also shall play this...unless I forget...which is likely Oh yes, let's hope I don't forget to play your level :hero: | 2009-09-25 21:53:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
Just played this - excellent level! I think this is my favorite of yours so far - great platforming! Couple little things: When the floor is raising and there are points behind the check point. I haven't looked closely at the design, but maybe have the checkpoint never go over bubbles? The final boss - maybe do something so the boss jumps up and down sometimes or something? So there's a bit of movement? 4 stars (I gave it 5) and a heart - great job! | 2009-09-26 00:47:00 Author: CCubbage Posts: 4430 |
o.O haha it looks funny ill go check if i can connect to servers for this one... lol cool level lots of fun didnt quite understand the boss..and his jukebox of fire :star::star::star::star: | 2009-09-26 01:51:00 Author: Littlebigdude805 Posts: 1924 |
Quick Review: Pros: - cool design - original idea - semi difficult - Good use of the background glitch - Puzzles are always a nice feature Cons: - visible dark matter to the right of the balloon part - the boss can be easily defeated - the balloon ride was the most difficult part of the level, although I almost made it down there without the balloon (maybe that's the trick?) - In the very beginning, the triangle piece in the middle layer vibrates - I think it might not be glued down Random: - There was a visible paintball meter on the bottom of the first big wheel that turns in the floor. Unfortunately I unequipped my paintinator... but I wonder if that was a secret or a mistake? Overall: 4 :star:'s Nice Job! | 2009-09-26 03:17:00 Author: Powershifter Posts: 668 |
Couple little things: When the floor is raising and there are points behind the check point. I haven't looked closely at the design, but maybe have the checkpoint never go over bubbles? I had meant to fix this and just not got round to it - thanks for pointing it out, I'll make sure it's fixed now. The final boss - maybe do something so the boss jumps up and down sometimes or something? So there's a bit of movement? Nice idea, I'll see if I can get it to work And thanks for the heart lol cool level lots of fun didnt quite understand the boss..and his jukebox of fire :star::star::star::star: Thanks, I was trying something different with the boss, maybe didn't quite pay off! Cons: - visible dark matter to the right of the balloon part Easy fix, thanks for pointing this out - the boss can be easily defeated This is all to do with what attacks come from the machine - although they should be random, so you can sometimes get an easy ride. - In the very beginning, the triangle piece in the middle layer vibrates - I think it might not be glued down I'll have a look thanks Random: - There was a visible paintball meter on the bottom of the first big wheel that turns in the floor. Unfortunately I unequipped my paintinator... but I wonder if that was a secret or a mistake? Actually this is very annoying, some sort of glitch left a visible paint switch there which I can't move or o anything to Thanks for the reviews, I'll make sure to correct the stuff you found. Thanks for playing | 2009-09-26 09:09:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
You know... I've been thinking a bit more about the final boss and wanted to throw in a bit more feedback, if thats ok. When shooting something with the paintinator, it's generally not a good idea to have a single thing you have to hit a hundred times - there is very little feeling of progression and satisfaction when shooting a single piece of material without any "blowing up" of anything. Maybe instead of having a single piece of material with the boss standing on it.... break the ledge into smaller pieces, each with LESS paintinator shots. You could even add breaking sounds as each individual piece of the ledge is destroyed - that would give more satisfaction in the boss fight. Just a thought. | 2009-09-27 02:33:00 Author: CCubbage Posts: 4430 |
Cool stuff. I played it the other day, but forgot most of the stuff necessary for feedback. I do remember that on the final boss, I didn't have any attacks or anything, I just shot the platform and it was over. I was mucho confused. | 2009-09-27 02:39:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338 |
Of course the Real IceMaiden would add a checkpoint right beside the big spinning wheels if only to save herself from biting the controller!! :blush: | 2009-09-28 20:29:00 Author: IceMaiden Posts: 1057 |
Lol, Icey - it's done now Updates: -New checkpoint by the "spinning wheels of death" -Ice Maiden avatar near the end -Movement to the boss, and hopefully improved attacks Thanks for everyone who's played, I'm getting round to F4F's now | 2009-09-28 20:34:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
Darn that Icey imposter...-__- As for the level, I will definitely be checking this out asap...Which will be tomorrow -__-' Gotta work but hey, I'm looking forward to this! | 2009-09-28 20:58:00 Author: KoRnDawwg Posts: 1424 |
Just played it. Simple obstacles but It was fun. the look is also good. I love the blue light thorough your lvl. some more layering in gameplay would be nice. Complaints -No sound effects at all. -If the last room was the boss, I didn't feel it was fun. All I did was only standing in the middle and shooting the paint balls. -You could use magic mouth at the puzzle room. Make it works after the puzzle is solve. Good work! Great job! :star::star::star::star: | 2009-09-28 22:46:00 Author: SiXth Posts: 59 |
Thanks for the feedback SiXth I'm always updating this level so if anyone wants to give it a go... | 2009-09-30 15:02:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
Coxy, this is your best level to date. I loved it from the beginning to the end. Great visual, simple but fun and quick gameplay. Good mocking at Icey level. Really it was very fun. I only have to point that if you stand at the furthest left under Firefox and fire, you won't get hit by the plasma balls, you may want to tweak it... And if you want you can tweak the finishing height of the last platform that goes up, the one with the red gases. 5 stars and a heart for you. Please F4F my level in the signature and have fun, thanks! | 2009-09-30 21:42:00 Author: OmegaSlayer Posts: 5112 |
thanks for the feedback Omega, I have played your level and I can't remember if I've left feedback yet - I'll go check after this post. Just a heads up, thanks for everyone's help and feedback - this level was for a contest over on LBPF and I came second, which I was very happy about. Prize is in the post! | 2009-10-04 21:44:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
Congratulations Coxy! Did you win something good!! I have played this again and the tweaks you made are great. The addition of the checkpoint near the wheels of death made my day. I loved the avatar too. Great work! Icey | 2009-10-04 22:02:00 Author: IceMaiden Posts: 1057 |
Well I didn't win the first prize, but I got a some sort of LBP goodness straight from the office of Mm apparently. I'll make sure everyone knows what it was when I receive it Glad you like the changes and I hope to have many more IceMaiden levels to come too | 2009-10-04 22:10:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
aargh, Coxy, I'm sorry I've not played this earlier! I'll play it right away. They say the memory is the first thing to go... | 2009-10-04 22:32:00 Author: MrsSpookyBuz Posts: 1492 |
The memory's first to go, but I'm pretty sure you've lost everything else by now Spooky I joke, it'd be great if you could check out the level whenever you feel like it, no pressure | 2009-10-04 22:34:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
The memory's first to go, but I'm pretty sure you've lost everything else by now Spooky Oh sweet Coxy, you cut me deep every time! I love you like a son, but you treat me like a great aunt! I will play your level, and will rate high, heart and love it, like something my own brethren would create. I'll just get mi teeth... | 2009-10-04 22:42:00 Author: MrsSpookyBuz Posts: 1492 |
Haha, I'm sorry Spooky - you know I don't mean it really And I've hidden your teeth so it could be sometime before you find them! | 2009-10-05 21:17:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
Hey Coxy! I've tried to play your level but I just couldn't find it. If you would leave me any kind of comment maybe I'd find you. Greetings Anna | 2009-10-06 18:18:00 Author: SantaAnna Posts: 51 |
Thanks for looking for it, I've left a comment on your alpin saga level so hopefully you'll be able to find me now | 2009-10-06 19:48:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
hey, coxy. imo, the heart of this level is the gameplay, even though the "big cave"-visuals look awesome. it was challenging but fun (it took me ages to get through those wheels of death - i nearly ate my controller). i think i have nothing more to say. a solid, good-working level. the only thing i miss is a unique, standalone and new story. so i'm really looking forward to your next level. greetings anna. | 2009-10-07 23:27:00 Author: SantaAnna Posts: 51 |
