Wrath of the sack god (kite survivor)

WRATH OF THE SACK GOD (KITE SURVIVOR)Tanuki75
Village peace takes a turn for the worst when a mysterious force starts transforming the locals into grassy ornaments. Facing some kind of deity you find yourself fleeing through your village as nature rises against you. If you can reach the stray kite, there may be an opportunity to turn the tables..

This nightmarish fairytale can be played at a casual pace by choosing the BEGINNER option at the start. The EXPERT option introduces harder obstacles and requires you to play at a break-kneck pace. Even though there are more points for doing this and it is possible to succeed - I don't expect to see anyone in the top ten on the score table. In either option though, there is a nasty twist. Unless later rescued by a remaining survivor, each player has only 1 life against the grass-transforming magic of the Sack God.

That sounds like a very interesting and original concept Tanuki. I'll check this out later and report back.2009-11-21 11:30:00

This level is fun, funky and sure to keep you on your toes. The level starts out very cute and easy going, until you tick off God. Then you find yourself in a fast pace challenge to avoid his wrath. The level is a load of fun.2009-11-21 15:56:00

I love your cows.. and your chicken lol. I could see the mechanics of your kite because I swung high enough. The ending was funny. Love the whole lighthearted feel of the level. Great job! 4 stars and a heart.

Thanks for the feedback on Offworld Colony - here's your F4F. Sorry it took me so long to get around to it!

There a lot of great things about your level, and a couple minor bad things.... but the good things first! The concept behind this is brilliant. It's levels like this that make LBP 100% worthwhile - there's just always something new you would have never thought of. The happy, cartoony look in the beginning is great. It's been said before, but your cows are the best. Ever. Keep putting them in your levels because they crack me up! They're just so perfectly... cow-like. The fog laser beam effect is great, and keeps you on your toes throughout the level. Having everything material-changed into grass is a very cool concept as well, and nicely executed. Offering different difficulties is also fantastic, and very difficult to pull off as well. Hats off to you for making it work!

So, the bad parts. My #1 complaint is that a 'game over' situation doesn't kill you. The first time I got a game over, I just sat there waiting to see what would happen, but nothing ever did. I wanted to see as much of your level as possible, so I kept replaying it. Having to select "restart level" or "exit to pod" I'm sure will wear on people's patience, and unfortunately it's probably keeping your ratings down. Also, it wasn't until playthrough #4 that I finally figured out I wasn't doing something wrong - it's simply a one-life level. I never did manage to finish, but it does keep things pretty interesting once I realized what was going on. There's yet another very cool concept of yours - the problem with it is probably lack of advertising that it's there.

Overall, I really did like this level - enough to heart it and heart you as a creator. I ended up giving it a 4-star rating though due to the ambiguity and the fact that you need to replay several times to understand what you need to do. Despite all that it's very fun indeed, and I will be replaying it as soon as I'm done posting this. Great work!
