| Ghost of Sparta - The Depths of HadesKn0cked-0ut Find your way through the Depths of Hades. Suitable for multiplayer. Special thanks for Korndawwg and Jagrevi for testing, helping and supporting! allMy Second level of the "Ghost of Sparta" series, you don't have to play the other level before this. They are different levels around the same theme. About a month or two ago I came with the idea to make some sort of underworld or hell.. Since there were so many bad levels with the word Hell in it I decided to make it more like the underworld of Hades. Dark with alot of smoke and dust instead of fire and volcanoes  Now after weeks of work i've finally finished the level  Have fun!http://i35.tinypic.com/9kxxlt.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/289lgs3.jpg I won't have time to give feedback for feedback until the 18th but if you post a message in this thread i'll give it later | 2009-11-08 11:46:00 Author: Kn0cked-0ut  Posts: 562 |

| Dude...this level is awesome!! I loved the first one, I love this one even more. You stepped away from the source material (GOW) a bit more in this one, which I really appreciated. Some of the pros: + Great Graphics & atmosphere + Great characters + Soundesign + Solid platforming + One wicked bossfight + Great use of mythology + Neat way of combining the words 'sparta' & 'part' in the titles. A stunningly beautiful level with great atmosphere and awesome character design. The bossfight was awesome, those heads look very cool indeed!! Cerberus never looked this good before!! This also brings me to my only con and what I would also like to call a bug: You only have to destroy 2 of the heads to be able to continue to the scoreboard. I never managed to make the rock drop on the 2nd head, what I did manage was to get it to tip over so I could use it as a platform to head over to the right and destroy the 3rd head of Cerberus. It seems only the destruction of the last head triggers the mechanism which makes you continue the level. An awesome level which really makes me wish for more, much more, from you as a creator. :star::star::star::star::star: and a well deserved heart!! Well done, Kn0cked-0ut!! | 2009-11-08 18:43:00 Author: Zwollie Posts: 2173 |
| Thanks for the awesome feedback Zwollie! Im glad you enjoyed my level, after a few weeks of playing it myself I was starting to dislike it more and more so its good to see I was wrong Too bad you had a problem with the heads of Cerberus, i'll fix that problem right away.. probably has something to do with one of the billion magnetic key switches I've got on those heads | 2009-11-08 20:41:00 Author: Kn0cked-0ut Posts: 562 |
| I finally found it! Huzzah! I loved it. The opening scene was fantastic, and I didn't want it to end. The middle was just some standard platforming, not anything to extraordinary, but that column puzzle in the middle. Oh wow! That was awesome. I sat there scratching my head for a minute before figuring it out. Really, really, really, really awesome puzzle! Cerberus looked fantastic, and I loved the little boss battle. The breath seemed like it extended too far to the left, though. It seemed like I should be able to grab [you know what], but the breath just barely snuck past the left edge. The way you actually kill it was very clever, and I liked the camera shake when you move the boulder. I could be very nitpicky and say that the tail section looked a bit tacky compared to the rest. Also, I would've liked to see Cerberus breath fire, and not plasma, but I will overlook that detail. Also, nice sticker work with the grunge sticker to create a dirty, cave material. 5 stars and a heart. | 2009-11-08 21:20:00 Author: comphermc  Posts: 5338 |

I knew I forgot something in my comments, thats it right there!! I loved that puzzle!! | 2009-11-08 21:40:00 Author: Zwollie Posts: 2173 |
| I still have no clue how the puzzle works Goldenclaw and I just grabbed random pillars until we got results | 2009-11-09 00:56:00 Author: Incinerator22 Posts: 3251 |
| ok i just played this lvl and i love it the boss is really cool a heart and 5 stars | 2009-11-09 02:56:00 Author: Joey  Posts: 758 |
| Played though this and it's awesome. Loved it but wanted to let you know My group found a glitch in the level. Right before the Cerebus area there's a checkpoint. My friend pulled the thing to take out the first head and when it crashed down there was a material breaking sound and the entire floor turned to that material you can fall through even though it's visible. I think it was a freak thing but if it happens the level breaks as you continually respawn and fall though the floor. I played it two other times without incident so I'm not sure how bad this is. Loved it 5 stars & hearted Thanks for sharing it. | 2009-11-09 05:03:00 Author: Morgana25  Posts: 5983 |
| Darn, that sounds like a major problem.. You say the killing of the first head causes it so i'll probaby redo that section because i've got no idea how it can break the foor I saw a picture on my level of three people standing on the ground and i had no idea how they managed to do that Thanks for all the great comments, its good to see work pays off | 2009-11-09 07:02:00 Author: Kn0cked-0ut Posts: 562 |
| Yea, the first head took out the floor on the right. Made it fall through. Also the other time I made it through we only did the last 2 heads and it let us through. Might wanna check that too. | 2009-11-09 07:12:00 Author: Morgana25 Posts: 5983 |
| The intro was fantastic, well done. My favourite bit of gameplay was the column puzzle, I've not seen that before and Cerberus was a great boss. I too had the falling through the floor issue, but it only happened a couple of times. I'm guessing it could be a strange glitch with the gas going through the floor in that area. I'd try two things - lifting the spawn point a little higher, maybe the player is spawning below a glitched detection line. Or try making the piece of material you spawn onto seperate to the piece that the gas is interacting with. See if that helps..? Anyway, very nice level, looking forward to Three! | 2009-11-09 11:20:00 Author: julesyjules  Posts: 1156 |
| Amazing! I've played this with you and tested lots and each time you improve. That or I just missed loads of things and wasn't concentrating...But that was just one occation lol jk, But seriously, very awesome work, I never actually got to try the boss in the end so I'll talk about it now: - The idea is great! Those heads ripped off beautifully - The rock part is another cool idea, although it's a little hard to push. - The blood was win! I'll have to keep this short since I'm currently in school, but I'll just quickly say that it's awesome and beautiful! :star::star::star::star::star: and another one of my glorious and still-beating hearts | 2009-11-09 14:07:00 Author: KoRnDawwg Posts: 1424 |
| awsome level, intro was stunning and attention to detail was astounding, only complaint is the cheesy blood effect after ripping the last head off. I wasnt sure how to do the columns so i just kinda cheated and pulled the first one (activates third one) grabbed the edge of third one ( activates second one) and in that second grabbed on to the edge of THAT one wich lifts me above the third one wich i use as a step to jump onto the second one and grab the one on the ceiling then jump to last one and you know the rest, im sure i didnt skip much. Kinda short though =/ :star::star::star::star::star: PS thats 20 posts, a well deserved spot on cool pages :3 | 2009-11-10 02:12:00 Author: Littlebigdude805  Posts: 1924 |
| Whoa! I just happen to stumble upon this last night, I had never gone around to read this thread yet. Let me just say, you blew me away! I loved the feel, the design (even though the flaming rotating wheels sort threw me a loop ) and I must agree the Boss at the end was wonderful. It was all puzzling and challanging, without being impossible. I must say though, I prefered it over the first that I tried afterwards. I loved it, gave it five stars, and hearted. | 2009-11-10 15:07:00 Author: AresSmith  Posts: 18 |
| I played the first one and though to myself, good but overall I'd have to say pretty average. But then... I played this. It was awesome IMO, I loved all of it, the puzzles were great although a little easy, the layer use was great and the boss battle... was amazing. I loved the killing of the second head, with the boulder. Great job dude! | 2009-11-11 17:52:00 Author: Bear Posts: 2079 |
| Just played both levels and have to say that these are the BEST god of war homage levels I've played! -The intro to this one was just AMAZING. From the boat driver to the ghosts flying overhead. -The scenery was GREAT! I loved how you used the 3D glitch. -The puzzle was quite confusing be really cool! -The boss was fun and refreshing from the usual paintinator boss. Only one thing went wrong though! At the boss my friend was able to completely skip the first head. And we ended up finishing without killing the other? :star::star::star::star:/Cute/ Hearted! F4F: DO you think that you could return feedback on my level please?

| Hiya - just played your level. Whoa, as many have said, loved the opening sequence and the overall atmosphere of the level. Great stuff! I loved the column puzzle, and the boss looked fabulous. My only con is that it felt a little short, but thoroughly enjoyable. Well done! 12.54 stars, 1.79 hearts, tagged with "Atmospheric" | 2009-11-11 20:13:00 Author: MrsSpookyBuz  Posts: 1492 |

| Ooooooh, that opening sequence... I thought skeletor was gonna come at me with that oar! Great atmosphere, cool puzzle, and some challenging platforming. In particular, I had some trouble with that spinning platform inside the wheel of fire. I kept spinning for some strange reason and couldn't get out. But alas, I figured it out after dying several times, lol. Highlights for me: spiderwebs and be-heading the boss. Great job! 5 stars. | 2009-11-24 19:47:00 Author: SHENOA77 Posts: 184 |
| Fantastic level! When you first posted this thread I went to play your level but completely forgot to post some feedback. This level is possibly the best level published this month. I really liked the start where you are on the boat, I thought that was very atmospheric. I did find that puzzle with the platforms with the grab-switches on a little hard though, I would have added a tiny clue. I also really like the way you do your boss fights, how you have to climb around the environment to drop something heavy on top of it. I gave this level 5 stars and a heart. Also if you would be so kind enough to do F4F with me, see my sig. | 2009-11-24 20:12:00 Author: olit123  Posts: 1341 |
