The furious platform (survival)

Archive: 11 posts


The furious platform (survival)nathannj
It is a space themed level inspired by my elite planet protector level. You need to stay on a platform which moves about furiously tryign to fling you off and into the black abyss below. Stay on the platofrm for as long as possible and catch as many points as you can. Where it goes is completely random!

I am willing to give feedback to one level of someone who gives feedback on mine. I would much prefer if you told me which level to give feedback too.

Here are some pics:

the platform you need to stay on:

choose from any of the LBP music except for the recently released songs in music pack 1:

When you die you are welcomed by some alien creatures:

Since it was a survival, i didn't put in much gameplay, thats why there isn't many great screenshots.

Hi, nathannj

just played it and it was really fun. LOL.

your idea is great but it needs lot of work on the visual. everything looks bland
I think you should make the platform more attractive. you make it a living thing like bull, cat, robot, alien, or whatever.

I could be 5 stars lvl you can tweak up the visual.

i updated a little while ago to make it match the season
i have now put some halloween stickers over the walls, pumpkins at the entrance. scary voices can be heard from all the stickers and pumpkins, and the level is darker in colour.
Be warned though, after you get to a certain point in the survival, the screen begins to flash to make it harder, and to enhance spookiness! So NOTE: contains flashing images.

i have added bats with red eyed to the level to match the halloween theme!

update 1.02:
The platform itself now develops in difficulty slower than it once did, i updated this as there has been a few suggestiosn which ask for this to be done.

Okay, lets see now,

Good things :

- Nice theme execution
- Very good movement on the platform, it sure is wild!

Don't think that because I only gave you two good things, that means your level is bad. Those good things weigh in quite strongly and outweigh a lot of the next section.

Suggestions / Improvements :

- I think that the initial bit of level is a little bit redundant. I think you should get spawned strainght onto the platform, but thats just what I think. With survival levels, I hate fannying around, because that slows me down if I want to play it again straight afterwards.
- I don't think the jukebox is needed either. In themeless race levels, a jukebox is a nice idea because it lets people set their own mood, however, in this level you've gone with a very heavy theme. You should force a music on the player that fits with the theme, and this ties back into my first point about not having to faff about on subsequent go's.
- Turn the lights up a fraction IF you choose not to remove that begining section. It is quite hard to see, and even on our big telly it was hard to make out the outline of the level.

So yeah, a good level overall, good feel to the platform just a few tweaks to encourage replayability and it's looking great!

I just played the level and liked it. The visuals are good, and it does get hectic later on. I would agree with the poster above though, you should drop straight onto the platform, and the ghouls party music would be an excellent fit.

I had got a couple of plays and got 2nd on the score board. 4* and hearted. Its a shame you got the bag tags because its a fun level really.

i have deleted the level for the time being, and hwen quiet a few users are on littlebigplanet i will republish it with update 1.03

update 1.03:
i have taken away the music player at the beginning and replaced with the music in the monster pack.
I have taken away the start and you now start on a short path and get straight into the game.
Once you die you appear in a graveyard

update 1.03 will be out soon, so stay tuned.
