So Online Create scores it's first victim...

So I was working on my winter level entitled Boing-Boing! When Zwollie enters my level and starts drawing... (old hat for him... Zounds! for me, I began to politely help.) As he's bound to do [pop!] he was gone... So I took the statue he/we created. Broke it apart, gave it some motion-- 'Gravel-ized' his great lines (like a tracer... er, I mean inker!) I changed every line except his hand, gave him a paint job and dubbed him Anoobus! He is all mine but unmistakably Zwol's...

Anyway he was to be the last bit of my winter level, a scoreboard mini game mechanic... to titilate...

Here, I just refurbished an odd bit as a lead in... I chose not to F4F out of sheer fear... the scathing hatred this level might bring... but will respond in kind feedback as best I can...

Score challenge. Score on the tip of the nose by bOiNg-bOing-ing or accept the helping hand of Anoobus to discover the three "RA-Ra score pods". It's insane. Always remember the scoreboard is below you... and have fun!

Haha, you actually made a level centered around my wolf?
Why was I not informed, I'll be back here soon with my lawyer...you owe me a lot of moolah sir, a lot of moolah!!

Stupid broken arm is making me miss everything, didn't even know that pic you sent me was actually leading to something.
Oh, what the heck... I'm going online to check it out now!!

When I saw that preview image with the title, my brain went, "OOOH! SHINY OBJECT!"

It does what it says in the title, make you go boing boing!!

I like it, it seems to have a lot of replay value since we kept restarting and restarting with our party. So that's a good thing.
Personally, I'm sick of any level after 2-3 tries and it was the same with this one, once I've done it...I've done it.
Me not really caring about competition or highscores has a lot to do with that I think.

The graphics we're great. Loved the titles, loved the wolf (off course) and loved the stars in the background.


I am going to give it :star::star::star::star::star: stars and a heart when I get to play it on my own since I wasn't hosting last night.
Nice job, Gravel!!

Ya know I fully expected limited reply to this thread.

One. i am am acquired taste for those with acquired tastes.
Two. i am not known (if at all) for my level creating.
Three. its a score challenge.

A whole lot of accolades going around the fansites these days... People congratulating themselves and others... To the best of my knowledge neither of you own a crown. Not that you both haven't earned them ten times over. Thank you for being my friend and supporting what is really nothing more than a throw-a-way section of a bigger level. I had hoped to bring a little fun... failed again!

Which I guess really brings me to my point... You can't do this stuff for the recognition... I have 25 creator hearts... (Heck, I earned them just in my first week of posting here!) my most played level just broke the two hundred barrier! Every time I want to quit, I think of the two of you...

ALWAYS ACTING SELFLESSLY ON BEHALF OF THIS COMMUNITY IN THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ALL CREATORS.

I will never be able to repay you or act in accordance with your principles... I don't have that... genetic make-up. But I will do my best to make sure you never regret your faith in me.

I apologize for not starting a separate thread for this sentiment... far more people deserve to see this and understand the way I feel toward you both...

Not that I don't respect the rest of my friends list... its a hearts' smorgasbord... a veritable who's who...

You guys are just heads and shoulders ya know?

Thank You Again guys.

Hi Gravel,
I jumped into this the other day, and Im just being honest when I say I had no idea what was going on. Seemed to have fallen straight down onto the scoreboard. What was I meant to be doing? What I kept doing was landing on the wolf guy and then jumping down? Am I being completely noobish? Is there something Im totally missing?

I love the look of it all Im just lost as to what it is Im meant to be doing.

Edit: Now bear in mind I may of had few pints while playing so it could be completely my fault!

Wait were you drinking as well? ...or were you drinking together? That your head was going boing-boing atleast means I accomplished something.

Wex & Ranger- Not a lot going on here-- really it's pretty straight foreward... It would probably make a better Survival challenge but I really don't dig them very much... so... It more than one chance.

(Please remember this was originally just intended as a mini-game mechanic for the scoreboard of my Christmas level...)

You drop into the action on the nose of the wolf, this is pretty standard stuff-- every time you step on a button pt bubbles are emitted which tend to then trigger off more bubble-emitting buttons... the object is to chain and collect as many points as possible. This action takes place warily above the scoreboard while avoiding the electric death-dealing balls the wolf is juggling. So as not to be so mundane the juggling wolf can also throw you into the air to find one of the three point-pods, or say reset your drop-in position to begin again... additionally there is the strategy of when to reach the scoreboard to your best advantage...

It was suppose to be a free-spirited lark. And I do thank you guys for your time.

WHOA!!! ..and what the heck was that?!?! I think a spaceship crashed into a 50's drive in and exploded... or maybe imploded?

Whew.. amazingly cool, wacky, strange, boingy, fun. It took awhile for me to figure out exactly what was going on, but after I did I was hooked.

Very fun and boingy.

Amazing use of lights and incredible artwork both from you as well as Zwollie.

One thing that might help pull this into focus would be to have instructions at the top of the letters rather than into the game as you die attempting to read. That could include a wide cut scene to the buttons on the nose where the points pop from.

I also found a secret path to the left of the wolf, but not sure what I was doing there once I got there. I also found a hole at the base of the ice slide that leads all the way to the right to find a small chunk of cardboard and a spotlight. Maybe block that or add a prize.

Really really cool.. I gave it 5 stars and a heart just because it was so freaking out in true Gravel brilliance and still fun and playable!


Merry Christmas!

jwwphotos, you need to play again...I just took the #2 spot from you. I had no idea what was happening...I thought this was a winter holiday level? This king tut thing gave me all kinds of points...if you got your score without that I'm impressed! I found that block as well, couldn't figure out if it did anything. Anyway, it's a very trippy level. Maybe you shouldn't fall right on the score board...you'd probably lose more points using up all your lives, lol! 2009-12-22 03:44:00

LOL!! No kiddin! I just tried it again and improved a bit, but not quite enough to take #2 back. I keep going for bubbles and end up hitting the scoreboard early!!
