Another great level I've played, very very interesting challenges, they were quite unique.

I REALLY love the pace in this level, it's challenge after challenge and you keep going. The obstacles themselves are all very unique and interesting, some very awesome ideas, I particularly like the time slow downs and the balloon, although the **** thing never goes where you want it to.

I really like how you've some sections as well, not a linear sequence of challenges, just adds another little extra dimension to the level.

Criticisms I can give, it was a little easy, not overly bad but a bit of difficulty would be great for a level like this. Not a whole lot else really, the obstacles were all fun, can't really think of anything wrong with them.

Another 5:star: and heart from me, I've been giving so many out the last 2 days.

F4F? If you wouldn't mind. https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=19909

Really great addition to an amazing series. I love how polished it is while also having a lot of innovative obstacles. I really loved the backtracking in this one. Oh, in one of the challenges where you can shoot a button to skip if it's too hard, I lost more points trying to do it than what I gained LOL. This is definitely going to be one of my future Picks. Thanks for such a great level. 5 starred and hearted!2009-12-16 19:12:00

I discovered these levels a few days ago and I loved them. Who needs a theme right? You made up for it in great obstacles. This level was long too! You are just full of great ideas. Continue creating levels that make me smile. I look forward to your future creations.2010-02-18 02:22:00

Thanks for all the kind words. The only complaints I got was the series' lack of themes and story. Therefore I'm going to create a "best of Insomnia's obstacle courses" featuring the best obstacles, challenges and puzzles from the three levels and specific theme and story added to it.2010-03-31 19:48:00

That should be awesome. Always throw in a few new obstacles if you can. I love this series and with a theme and story it should be amazing!2010-03-31 23:13:00

i honestly dont think these need a story or a theme, those elements dont make a great level, they MAY but arent necessary for a level to be epic. with that said, this series is REDICULOUSLY amazing. i had never heard of u or the levels before i saw this so i started at the beginning and it was absurdly fun. i love ur material choice and just the overall look, honestly you DO have a theme, badass metal and electricity haha. these levels were PERFECT for me since i consider my lbp skills above average. Innovation left and right, how you traverse throughout the levels is even frikkin cool from the elevators to the reseting ascending "hang on to this" things. i also love levels that are extremely long but dont get boring or stale, which these do not. just sayin, i play ALOT of different levels and scour the internet for more LBP to play and ur levels are the diamonds in the rough that make my life long search worth it. MAKE MORE, U NUT2010-04-01 21:10:00

@ qiunn: I'll add loads of new stuff for sure, just keeping the best of the best from the obstacle course series

@ DarkSeraphim: What a nice compliment! It's response like yours that makes me keep coming back to LBP to create However, there won't be another level with "badass metal and electricity" theme hehe - I simply got sick and tired of looking at it while creating # 3. I think my future levels will be more visual orientated though still aiming for some great platforming and puzzling I personally LOVE levels with a great LBP-related story (like comphermics "All Mines!" or quinns "Fantastical Adventures" for instance) and are envying their amazing story-telling skills. I'll hopefully come up with something good for my "best of..." level soon.

Thank you guys for playing my levels!
Right now I'm working on a sticker-themed level with a "gardens/islands/carribean" look called "Decal Property".

Awesome stuff again. I didn't finish it because it broke on me. The part with the platforms on rockets and you blow it up to make it higher....all the platforms collapsed on me so I'm guessing something blow up that shouldn't!

Also there was a typo that said 'shoot the bottom if it's too hard and it'll make it easier but you wont get the reward' or something to that effect. You meant 'button' not 'bottom'. After I read, it, I still shot the button above my head because I presumed it was part of the gameplay (and you'd shoot the floor to make it easier), but obviously that's not the case and I didn't get the reward

I liked the race section at the start and that's definitely something that I thought helped this one. All this series feel like they should be played at a frantic pace, and the race just puts you on edge a bit more and makes you want to go faster.

I'll definitely be back to finish it, but I'd take a look at the parts I mentioned up to now

Thanks a lot for your feedback, hopefully the issues have been fixed now. I also gave the level a small visual overhaul so there's plenty of reason to give it another try 2010-08-30 21:53:00
