http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=363&pictureid=9404A short entry for the LBPC Winter Contest. Journey through the night with only minutes left until Christmas Day, visiting the old abandoned mines and venturing through a beautiful and enchanted town. The font for the logo was created by Takelow, so lots of credit to him! I hope you enjoy

Hi Korny

Loved the atmosphere and some of the mechanics, but I wasn't expecting anything less from you!

Unfortunately, I fell through to the floor but I don't know how close to the end I was. I'll try and explain where...

There's a bit where there are some fast-ish stairs moving in a wave pattern. I pulled the two-way switch on the front layer, and got back on the stairs. I jumped a little to the right at their highest point and ended up falling through the scenery floor on down to the ground.

I was probably just unlucky, but you might want to take a quick look to see if you can plug the gap.

I really enjoyed this level. I think adding the race option was a clever idea also. I haven't tried it yet but having the option of regular play vs race gives it large replay value.
I did have a little bit of a hard time seeing at times with the low lighting. (however that's just my eyes)
I thought the atmosphere was hauntingly serene, a nice balance.
The obstacles had challenge, were creative and fun.
This is a level I'd really like to see more of.

I've changes the level name, thought it was a little boring...

I guess that makes up the few 'frustrating' tags I have here...This level is possibly the least frustrating level I have ever made 0__0' I don't understand people nowadays!

Anywhom, thanks for your feedback, and that also goes to everyone! I have just had a day of relentless republishing, I need to have as many plays as possible since I won't have time to attend this level in the next few days...Got work to do -__-'

Funnily enough, this is possibly the most successful level I have made in terms of the Heartlay ratio. Usually my audience is pretty selective, but, well, I think even kids like this a bit too ^__^ For a ****ing change.

Hiya, really enjoying this level. The puzzles and flow of the level are really good. the decorations are very pretty and I like the use of stickers.

I fell out of the level at one point when I was trying to climb the moving stairs (this could be the same issue as above). I stepped right when the stairs were at their lowest. I might have grabbed a prize bubble first.

The use of 3D glitch on the buildings was quite incredible. The 3D city level thats around looks good, but this has great buildings AND good gameplay.

the only slight criticism I would make is, although this level plays well and I was entertained throughout, there was no real difficulty at all. I was wasnt challenged in terms of puzzle or survival - this may have been your intention (cute Christmas level and all!).

I realise this level isn't F4F, but if you ever get time to play and feedback my first level, I'd appreciate it.

Ah, I loved this level! I especially loved your use of the 3D glitch. You used just enough not to overpower the scenery Can't tell you how many times people have gone overboard with the 3d glitch and practically ruined the feel of the level...

I've done a recording of your level, too. Sadly, the sound was removed (probably because of Tapha Niang). To me, that'll give more of a reason to wanna play...To hear the sounds, lol.

God ****ing **** it! I thought I fixed that area! UGH...Well anyway, thanks for your feedback! I know the level lacks any real challenge, hence why I added a race It was actually Evanesced's idea, so I thank him for that ^^*

Wow! Thank you so much, it's great! It's a shame that the audio has been removed, what is so bad about that song? Thanks so much, loved the commentary too!

Oh, and I haven't been able to get to my PS3 today (I told ya I have too much work to do -__-&apos so can someone generously give me updates about plays and stuff? Much appreciated!

Your level stats as of right now are...

183 hearts
1,797 plays

Nice

Also, I heard from JKthree that there's some sort of copyright claim on Tapha Niang by some...WMG company? Same with GO! Team. Weird, eh?

I hate WMG.

Hence the "abolition of all corrupt multinational corporations". As John Lennon said, "Music is everybody's possession. It's only the publishers who think that people own it."



Thanks for the update!

Idk I think something might've went wrong there Grey, there would be a message if it was removed (The audio track was removed by WMG for example). From what happened on the recording i did with them, It just added an ad on. I hope they didn't increase it to removing sound completly But then again the ad didn't appear till about a day later.

This level, like all your others blew me away. You are a master at atmosphere and scenery. Infact your levels inspired my jones and the demon. demon was the first level i actually put my heart into to see if i could even close to your style of level building. You have what many don't. And that is Style! You got this man. 5 stars and another heart your way! You are hands down one of my favorite creators.2009-12-10 02:49:00

Loved it, KD. Lot of fun. I'd also call it LEVER PULLING ARMAGEDDON, if you're looking for a less "boring" title.

Of course, your original title sets a mood, but who wants that?! If you name it LPA and get enough plays, you can start a Lever Challenge meme! "1,365 levers in 90 seconds! Are You The Ultimate Gamer?! H4H Trophyplzthx"

I think blocking Tapha Niang is a pretty bollocks move as well, but because it's a bad business model. The only way to sell copies is for people to hear it. For every one person who figures out how to use YouTube to steal it, there'll be 3 or 10 people willing to just go pay for it. I grew up in the tape deck era, when people would record from the radio...and then go buy the real tape because their recording stinks.

I haven't got much use for corporations either (ref: WMG's retarded business model), but that's a pretty danged cheeky thing for John Lennon to say. He went from bumming 10 quid off of a broke comedian for a Coke, out back of the Ed Sullivan show, to rubbing money all over his body on a daily basis on the roof of Apple Corps. Yoko's still up there doing it for him right now.

Bill Hicks actually lived in no-sellout mode. I know about five people other than me who know who he is, and you're one of 'em. Most of the other ones stole parts of his act and sold out. We don't need to kneel to Babylon, but it ain't going away.

Bah! I'm off topic now. 110 author hearts and 25.33 stars.

Funny, I actually wrote an exceptionally long response to both of your posts, however, on the very night I sent it, the forum had to go down. Brilliant.

So I'm just going to say thank you for playing since I cannot be ****ed to write it all over again -__-'

Thanks you

Korny, you're the top dawwg. Seriously. Very gifted and a bloody lovely young bloke.

Thank you

I know, I did credit you -__-'

Anyway, I completely forgot about this level until now. Haven't really been checking LBP that often and I won't have any time to next year. I may be up for co-op creating but, well, that will probably be a rarity.
