I've kept both my survival challenges in the same thread so they don't clutter the forums, so here they are:

VR Survival Challenge v2

Sort of a follow-on from the MGS Pack level, in this challenge you have to stay on top of the platforms (which disappear after 3 seconds) While dodging plasma balls fired from a turret above you.

Trash Compactor Survival

Set in a construction site area, you drop in to a trash compactor and attempt to stay on top of the trash being thrown in, while collecting points. It's quite hard to stay on top once you get buried, so you need to be careful and think fast.

Finally got some time to try your levels!

VR Survival Challenge 2
After finally being able to play LBP, I played Ayrtonmassey's VR Survival Challenge 2. Great idea! Could've been done better in some places, but definitely a great level. I'll leave feedback on the look and feel of the level, and how fun the level is, then I'll talk about how I think it could be better..

Look and Feel: This level looks like a room in the VR Survival Challenge. I like the pattern on the wall and the different colored balls in each corner. (lol I said balls.) I also liked the different numbers on the disappearing platforms that tell you how long until the platform would disappear. The ending of the level also looked nice, and everything wove together nicely.

Fun factor: This is pretty fun the first couple of times you play it, but it doesn't have much replay value. (Don't let this discourage you; I have yet to find a level with much replay value) After you get a satisfying score, you're done. (But that's not really important.) Being a challenge, it's quick, and it's exciting. The challenge isn't all that challenging though. The platforms are not random, so once you find a pattern that works for you, you can easily avoid falling, and you'll only need to worry about the gun shooting at you from above, which isn't hard to avoid. The level is pretty fun, but when you start to get further into it you notice some flaws.

What could be fixed: If you haven't tried it yet, go check out the LBP Central Logic Pack. (Search @LogicPack) This will teach you a whole lot, and at the end of the hard section of logic, there is a randomizer. Use it to your advantage! Can't really think of much else to improve. Good job on the level! (I hearted it and gave it a 4/5.)

Now playing the other challenge...

Decided to do this one in another post so you wouldn't be accused of 'double posting'.

Trash Compactor Survival
After writing that AMAZING feedback on VR Survival Challenge 2, I decided to play The "Trash Compactor Survival". When he says "don't expect a huge score", he means it. This challenge is near impossible to get over 100 points. When I got 95, I was pretty proud of myself. Anyways...

Look & Feel: This level looks almost exactly like another Metropolis level. Great job! I love it when levels resemble that of the story mode; It makes me think you're pro like MM. (Even if you aren't..) I like that there are 3 different types of trash as well.

Fun factor: I can't really say that this level was all that fun, but frustrating. The level is a good idea, and it's executed pretty well, but there are some things that could be done to make it less challenging. Maybe but some small platforms at the bottom? Maybe put a sponge that will randomly come down for you to hold onto temporarily?

Read fun factor on how to improve..

Overall, an ok level, a bit frustrating, but it's still a great idea, and the theme works perfectly. I gave this one a 3/5 and a heart (because I'm nice like that. ;])

F4F: Deathrun 1.0 (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=19123)
(Go ahead and take your time, you need 2 people for this one.)

Oh, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
