Since the lighthouse light went out, monsters are beggining to come out from the shadows and terrorising villages.. investigate and uncover the mystery!
(Queue lightning effects) DUM DUM DUUUM.

This is a very old level from me and I thought 'I might as well showcase it' so here it is! Think of it as a littledeadspace-esque sort of level. Enjoy.


Screenshots coming soon!

Review:

I have to say, although this level was very similar to Little Dead Space, The Lighthouse was actually better in my opinion... Very well put together.

The whole beginning sequence was great. When I got up onto that ledge where the lights went off, I was actually afraid of what was going to happen next. You really created a tense moment there... That was my favorite part.

The whole slide sequence was fun, but was a bit long and didn't really have a point in my opinion... But this is only a small bump and it really didn't bother me that much.

The cutscene with the soldiers and monsters was awesome! I liked how you could move left and right to see whats going on on both sides of the room. Yet again there was a tense moment in the dark with the growling.... I really enjoyed that. I also have to compliment your attention to detail with the window in the underwater lab. The fish were a great touch.

The elevator/boss sequence was very well constructed as well. One thing that did bother me a bit was the fact that you never actually saw what you were fighting... But I guess you concealed the entire body to add that sense of mystery.

The ending was a bit disappointing, because you never actually fix the lighthouse. Or did you? I don't know, I couldn't tell. But the scoreboard area was well decorated and the lighting was neat.

In conclusion, The Lighthouse is a great adventure that has an awesome cutscene, great visuals, and a fun boss battle. Here's my rating:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Visuals: 9/10
Good selection of materials in the lab. However the slide sequence walls didn't fully match the rest of the level.

Fun: 9/10
Could use some more puzzles or platforming challenges. Perhaps more monster sightings?

Replay Value: 9/10
I would definitely play this again, just to see that awesome cutscene.

OVERALL RATING:
9/10 Excellent!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And in game I gave you :star::star::star::star::star: and hearted, + a complex tag.

Your just now putting up a showcase for this level? But it's been there for so long!
This level is great, my only complaints being that the background in the dock scene is only a piece of cardboard, you should have a real background there. And the level should be longer.

Some areas in it really seem like LittleBigDeadspace though.

I loved this level, but I think I forgot to heart it! Haha!

I liked the eerie feel and the exploring; it was layed out very well!

Good job and keep it up!

Sorry for the bump, but I have a question to ask..

To those that played this level already, do you think I should I make a sequel?

Thanks. This was my 3rd proper level.. So it was sort of an earlier level of mine.

It was the first level that I spend two and a half weeks making.. All my other levels before that were made in like a week lol.
