Office Bomb Survival 1lemon_and_gravy
My Office Bomb Survival 1, which reached Cool Level's PAGE 1 in less than 1 day...
all
My new 'Office Bomb Survival 1' level reached PAGE 1, in an almost record time, and with a healthy amount of hearts aswell...
I just wondered what everyone thought of it, and what i should include in 'Office Bomb Survival 2' and any improvements i can make...
MY 'FIFA 10' WAS MODERATED
BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND, IT WAS IN THE 'PLAY' MAGAZINE! WOOP WOOP
I am making a different ending, wait untill saterday, to find out
ALSO, i am working on a motorbike level, and it actually has scenery!, unlike 95% of motorbike levels... look out for that!
yeah, i would love to hear your verdict on me as a creator and my level (s):star:

Honestly I don't like bomb survival levels.. no matter how good it looks or is, it stays bomb survival which is done a billion times already :| Sorry but maybe you should come up with something different or a variation on it because I don't think much people here are interested in this.2009-11-02 18:58:00

I just don't get how the people haven't noticed that what they are making has been done a million times! It's honestly very strange that nobody realises they are just making a level with no difference other than a few things:

Examples
It's made of lego
This ones all green!
You win a batman car at the end!
This bomb looks like cheese!
This ones in a shopping mall!

Unless you throw in some epic game mechanics that isn't avoid the bombs til the reach the bottom and add some top notch visuals, I ain't giving you more than 1 star. You're just rebuilding another persons level but in an office, or a hospital, or whatever other place that makes no difference at all.

Cool levels is....well not cool, very few of us here actually look at it (for the actuall cool ones). Cause of people abusing the republishing trick, and then they go around saying they are the best for getting it on there quickly and of the amount of hearts from this....All which you just did (your acting like Russles again....)

And going around making the same typical bomb survivals just make all of us here want to look away. May be a little Harsh at what I said but it is true.

MY 'FIFA 10' WAS MODERATED

Perhaps it was because you modified it to be an advertisement for your new level. I understand that you wanted people to play your new one, but don't completely change the level so that its sole purpose is to be an advertisement for your new level.

What's the fun in that?

Why not try making a level that is completely different from the norm. Bomb survivals and motorbike levels have been done. I can tell that you have an attention for detail, but you use it in such weird ways. Make something original and you'll get a much better community response, no? Just don't use your old levels to advertise your new ones. That's not fair to everyone else who works hard to get their levels noticed. Play. Create. Share.

That does make sense, it violates the Terms of Service, (7j I think it was in the EULA, I'll have to find the article i posted on again) Which goes big time against Russles when he was spamming the Cool levels with his "get to the end to see water" crap. (regardless on if you are/not him) and why lots of us good griefed him under Terms of Service

EDIT: Ah here it is, I posted this way back




7J of the EULA

Any attempt to deliberately alter, damage, or undermine, the legitimate operation

of this game, including but not limited to exploiting the ranking system by creating

'dummy accounts'

Now while it may not be what russle is doing from the example. But he is exploiting the ranking system by constantly doing his process of the repbulishing trick and doing it to each level bribing with some thing at the end (water) and its just crap, and the fact that he keeps creating new accounts and doing the same thing over and over again. And he's not gaining anything since he eventually deletes some of his levels after they are no longer on cool pages all he is doing is exploiting it.

Now i may not be a lawyer or anything, but what he does sounds right up 7(j) of the EULA. Which may be just the thing to finally take him down if we all moderate or report hime mentioning 7J of the EULA, he's hurt way too many people (especially my friends) and he's provoking others to do the same thing.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but you really don't need to make an Office Bomb Survival 2.

Bomb survivals are waaay overrated. They are horrible levels as they have been done far too many times. It's a major problem and shows a lack of originality. Just changing themes and looks and rewards, etc, doesn't make it any different than the last bomb survival.

We don't hate you, we just hate your levels lol. Your fifa 10 level was a lot better than your other levels because it was more original. If you wnat a suggestion from me, add a point and scoring system to your fifa 10 level so people could play each other. That'd be great

And I have to mention play to heart ratio. So your level has 2,000 hearts and what? 50-100,000 plays? That's somewhere near a 1:40 ratio. Subbteranean setbacks, for example, has 1000 plays and 100 hearts. That's 1:10.

Ya know, everyone..... I went in and played this. Now, don't get me wrong - I am as tired as everyone else is of bomb survival levels.

But I gotta say, this one WAS quite a bit of fun. And it was also polished. The thing I most enjoyed was that it wasn't as frustrating as many other bomb survival levels - you could strategically avoid the bombs and have the floors of the office blown out, then keep working your way down without getting stuck in a crevace.

I gave it 4 stars. For it to get a heart I would probably need it to have more differing scenery on the different floors and maybe a couple side-tasks, but it was a lot of fun as a survival challenge. If you plan on doing a #2, that's what I would suggest - putting different themed floors in, and maybe quick things you can do on specific floors for more points.

Nice job!

CCubbage, I spit on your grave!!!!

Ok, maybe not but I can't believe you! I did give this level a try and it was everthing short of fair and polished. A group of bombs were on one side of the floor and I was on the other, and they blew up and shot in my face. Not fun in the least. There's unoriginal MM colors, and the materials stink. Sorry lemon, I don't want to be rude, but I can't let that comment just pass by me.

People work for months to put hard work into their levels, and you put in days lemon, if not hours. CCubbage, there's nothing whatsoever in this level that's any bit original besides the occasional funny joke on the wall in dull, mm letters. It's not enough to change my opinion about the quality or originality of this level... If you have the opinion to give this 5 stars, then I have no idea what you could possibly give one star to.

I think I should go and make a bomb survival level. Seriously, not for the plays or hearts, but it sounds fun!

Hmmm.... maybe you just need to practice.... a lot.


I made it all the way to the bottom of the building the first time. I thought the graphics were cute.

My point is this: as stated in earlier threads, our job isn't to come into a thread and tell someone what KIND of levels to make. It's to give feedback based on playing the level. Just saying "I don't like this kind of level" isn't really fair to the creator.

Maybe you had a different experience, but I played all the way through to the bottom of the building and found based on the placement of the furniture and the floors dropping out that it was completely doable.

Now, I'm not saying he spent Julesyjules-time on the level, but it was definately looked decent to me.

Actually, I agree with CCubbage, I played it yesterday, and its actually a decent level. Theres definetly time and effort gone into it, which is not something you associate with bomb levels. The scenery was good, and although it was follwing a well tread path, there was something different about it.

I managed to get all the way to the bottom, and got killed when I was hanging around for the points falling lol, my greed again I s'pose.

Saying you want to rate something one star, or bad mouthing the level, because of the type of level it is, is a contradiction to something we all complain about, people not giving levels a chance and rating them badly, thus reducing the stars we get. If you won't give a level a chance, then you can't complain when others don't give yours the same grace.

I must say, they are a bit of fun. But after you play one like OVER 9000 times, it gets boring and you have played them all. The only awesome ones were the Desert Survival ones with more than just one bomb, but nukes and missiles and flash grenades and C4 YOU could detonate.

Make one with a great new experience, and we will be happy.

I mean, you have about 5 levels that are the same style, another 2 that have poo falling instead of bombs. Thats 7 bomb levels. And republishing a bomb level is the best way to get lots of plays, but just try something else for a change.

For the saneness of everyone,

Personally, I have fun playing Bomb Survival Levels. They only Con about them is that there over used. As long as I'm happy with gameplay I don't mind, but seriously, we have ENOUGH Bomb levels to play. 2009-11-06 23:25:00

No more Bombs please. They're a blight on LBP and are simply another , even worse , form of H4H. Nobody makes one of them because they love the concept. It's just a cynical way to get loads of hearts and plays. You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.2009-11-07 00:27:00

How many people took the time to play? Really? Probably none!

Dont whinge that your levels have 4* when they deserve 5* etc etc. This will bite you in the ***. Karma!!!!

I actually love this level.

I love levels where you have to be strategic with bombs.

I also play Minecraft and Motherload.. Google them.. it's why i like these levels.

My feedback was in that post. Ugly mm letters for instance, and boring, repetitive polystyrene.

Fine then, I'll just go make a polystyrene bomb survival in half an hour and add some "cute graphics", and apparently it deserves four stars. Apparently that makes it different than the millions of others of bomb survivals, by the way you implied by saying "it's actually good".

I havn't played it yet so I won't comment on the level. But obviously bomb survivals are completely redundant at this point. But, to write off a level because it's been done? C'mon, that means you're tired of any level with platforming at this point.. If it looks good and has some fun bombs, it can still be good, no doubt.

My problem with your post, Lemon, is that you came in saying you got to Cool Levels, which is loaded with garbage, and it got there in record time. If you're serious, I've had levels get there immediately after I published them, so HA! Owned. Just kidding, of course, but stop it.

Most of the posts on this thread have been posted without playing the level, but just to make a statement about bomb survival levels.

We have all age groups and skill levels coming on this site, and if someone puts a showcase thread up for a level they're proud of I don't think its necessary to demoralize them.

I read the ENTIRE thread and found it to be a character assasination, and as a father I would hate it if my son put a showcase thread up and people did the same to him.

I was trying to give objective feedback that would be useful based on what he was asking for. If you don't like the TYPE of level provided, and you don't want to give feedback that will be helpful and encouraging.... don't post on the thread.

Ok, sorry, but I don't think you know lemon_and_gravy that well.

He actually bumped a freakin' advertisement to the cool levels, but not one, two. All he does is publish bomb survivals and peach floaty running challenges. He doesn't do it to make people happy, and that's a fact. He does it to become famous so he can brag to other players that he's better than them.

He even attacked me personally. On my level he wrote "HA! YOU THINK THIS IS GOOD LEVEL! 60,000 PLAYS AND 3,000 HEARTS, NOW THATS A GOOD LEVEL! MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER HAVE IN YOUR LIFE FOOL!"

I've said all I can here.

You're right - I have no idea who he is, I just don't like seeing "don't make these kinds of levels" feedback.

But, if he hasn't been a good sport or been nice to others, I can see your point.

Hooray. Well done you. That's totally the best place for bomb survival levels. I wish everyone else would follow your example.

yeah, i would love to hear your verdict on me as a creator and my level (s):star:

Played the level but a few days ago. Definitely needs a bit of work, as I found it too easy. I quite like bomb survival levels, but only well made ones. I reccomend:

a) Using a sponge/tunnel setup. I quite like these, as there's the challenge of trying not to get stuck in a crevasse, and surviving falling into one.

b) Using a variety of bombs. I saw this twist on another level called Desert Survival. Not only did it have timed explosives, it had 'leaping charges' that jumped around, cluster bombs (two explosion), laser guided beams (lasers that fired a round of explosives), as well as a variety of others. Be creative.

c) Try planting explosives discreetly in and around the office. Some of the sponge and tunnel levels have 'explosive seams' built in

d) Try for a completely different twist. What about a one of those 'block race' levels (like where you have to fight your way through stacks of sponge), but completely made of shrunken explosives, where you have to outrun the chain reaction?

From the sounds of things, survival levels need to be revived. The addition of water will help, but not heal the situation.
