Bounce! ***COMMUNITY PICK on LBL*** (VIDEO)

Archive: 17 posts


BOUNCE!ladylyn1
My first little mini-game where the object is to collect points.

There is a unique object in this level- its the 'SUPER ANTI-GRAVITY PLATFORM'! Play the level to collect it as a prize!

Who will get the highest score???

First off, the positives. It looks great, well-designed and has an impressive timer.

I think the issue is that there's not enough variety in gameplay. My suggestion would be to bump the timer up to five minutes and add some hazards which gradually get tougher like balls of fire where the bubble should be, as well as a few other surprises. Then maybe have a bonus at the end.

By no means is it a bad level, I just don't feel compelled to play it again to get the high score. I think with a few adjustments you'll see the rating shoot up.

I liked it. It was simple and i found the gameplay addicting. Played it 4 times trying to get the high score but could not get past 1250 . lol. Looked great and i think that gameplay is right where its at for this type of level.

:star::star::star::star::star:

Also thanks for the prize i can really put this to use in my new level

I just played it, I rated it 4 stars and gave it one heart.

-I think there should be more points, it was very hard to get any score multipliers.
-I like the timer!
-I think there should be different music, maybe something more actiony.
-The platforms shouldn't launch you so harshly.
-I would like to some more detail for such a small area, like more lights and a darker level.
-I almost forgot, there should be more of a challenge.

Fine level, for F4F, could you please look at the level in my signature?

Aren't you supposed to be going off to university!? Yet you just keep cranking out levels.

I would like to know what you did to glitch the material. What was with sackboy floating above the surface? Weird stuff.

The level was alright - as mentioned, the point multipliers were pretty tough, and it seemed like luck more than anything. As killian suggested, it might be beneficial to crank up the difficulty after a while, to add some more pizzazz. Nice find with the glitch, though.

Thanks for the feedback... yeah i am going to uni. i just had to finish it cos i found the glitch!

As for editting it i really have no time now!

Em, the platforms aren't supposed to make u hover? They're meant to shoot you upwards!


EDIT:

Ok i said i had no time, but i just squeezed it in... points visible for 4 seconds at a time instead of 3 so should produce more combos! Also music changed for mini-game section and dm added to roof so you shouldn't be able to escape! Finally, tried to reduce the bounce a lil hopefully enough to stop people getting squashed on impact with the roof!

Just played your level about 5 times in a row It's a great but simple survival challenge or should I say mini-game.. The gravity platforms are cool and its great you give them away as a prize I found it pretty hard to get a combo because i kept bumping against the ceiling, would be better if it was placed a row of bubbles higher so you can bounce better.

As some people have already said, maybe you should make it harder when you get further.. What about fake bubbles on fire?

Overal a great mini-game, not too complex and very addicting!
I've seen alot of mini games with a scoreboard in the beginning where you can see the top players, would be nice if you could add it here too

I would appreiciate a little feedback on my level, if you have time It's called Ghost of Sparta.

I played this last night. I don't really have any thoughts that could be added to what other people said. I looked at your platform thing and would love to know why it works the way it does. I gave you 5 stars and a heart because I'm sure you will make some tweaks/fixes when you get back from school.2009-09-29 14:51:00

The only thing I found a bit irritating was that the countdown was counting from 0 to 60, instead of vice-versa. Plus, I think the bubble appearance might be a bit too random, making highscores depending on luck, more than skill. While I think that randomizing the spawn coordinates is great, I guess you should tweak your tech to spawn bubbles at an even interval (which may get shorter as time goes on).

There are ways to achieve this. I'm working on prototype of a "re-picker". This device chooses a random spot to spawn a point bubble. If the spot is already occupied by another (previously spawned and not yet collected) point bubble, however, it will not just skip and wait for the next random pick, but it will choose another spot, until it finds a free one.

A minor issue I found was that jumping from the gap between two platforms sometimes lead to weird jumping heights, from normal sackboy jumps to OMGTEHCEILING!-leaps. I guess though that this is a weakness of the gravity platform-physics and can't really be influenced.

You could make the challenge more interesting by adding some sort of danger, like others have stated before. To be honest, however, I somehow like the simplicity of the challenge.

Other than that, great challenge! Really enjoyed it, and I will try to get that highscore for sure!

Very good level Lady ! I played it a couple of times and it amazes me how you've pulled this off.

Very good concept as well, I liked the trampoline-like gameplay a lot

The counter must have taken you ages to built.
