I went for the popular "Tribal"-Theme for this level. I hope to bring smiles on people's faces when they play this level.
I could probably come up with a story for the level, but I think its more imporant that you try it out and just enjoy ^^.

I'd love to get some comments so that I can improve and make LittleBigPlanet a better place =)

This level was wonderfully enjoyable. I had fun the entire level.

From beginning to end the level was beautiful and fun to play, there as no lapse and game play , and i was never overwhelmed by anything. It was fun and simple and I loved it

Visuals: Everything looked great, every puzzle was easy to figure out, (in terms of what to accomplish, due to the visuals, and nothing felt out of place. A really good looking level.

Gameplay The level was very well paced, the level was something familiar and at the same time very exciting. My favorite sequence was when you had to hop over the spiked balls under water, it felt really well done.

This is a model level. Nothing completely over the top and at the same time, it felt great. If half the H4H levels were just like yours, LBP would be the best game ever. The only gripes I have are the length and the lack of a story. A level this good should have been longer!! and the inclusion of a story would have made the experience just that much more enjoyable. A little story goes a long way. You don't need anything convoluted, just a simple motive like "Get to the underwater cave, and you will be initiated into the tribe" would make the level seem fuller, and livelier, and less like an uninhabitable wasteland.

This level was pretty cool. It actually accomplishes a lot through its simplicity.

The level design was straightforward, and for an instant came off as being thrown together. Then as I stepped into the level I realized the variety held within. There was good variety of obstacles to move through ? platforms and puzzle.

My favorite part to the level was the tri-colored logic puzzle in the motorized circle maze. It wasn?t very difficult, but it was enjoyable.

The bridge looked great. I think it is on my list of favorites for visual style on hanging bridges. I did fall through a crack between beams while I was playing on it and ended up in the water. I tried jumping around off the rock to get back on, but it didn?t work. I was thinking to myself ?be sure to add in feedback to raise boulder a couple nudges to allow players to get back up? when I discovered you had this covered in a rear path back up on the left.

I think the most challenging part for me was the balloon ride over the thermal vents. Spent a few lives there, but worth the experience. I hadn?t seen that technique in a level before that I could recall.

The ending seemed extremely abrupt. The level seems to progress at a nice even pace of increasing challenge and visuals when it stopped before the climax. Swimming along the bottom looking for the next challenge and *bam* there?s the scoreboard. I would have liked to keep playing for three or four more challenges.

Overall great job and worth the play!


PS ? if you get a chance, please check out my F4F level in my sig.

First of all. Thanks for the feedback. Its one of my first published levels so its really great to get some second opinions on it ^^

I worried about the lenght alot. I can ace my level with my eyes closed in less than 5 minutes. And at the same time didnt want it to be too long, ie make people bored. Ill think about that for my next level. =)

I didnt know you could fall through the Bridge. I tried my very best and didnt manage. Ill have to fix that asap. :o

I agree fully with both of you about the ending and lack of story, thanks for pointing it out so I can do better in the future. =)

Now Im off to play your levels =D

Wow, when it comes to pure fun and visuals, you know what you're doing, that was great. Simple but enjoyable puzzles. The level looks really polished.

An easy :star::star::star::star::star: and heart from me.
I would say it would be nice to get a 'Congrats, you made it into the tribe,' near the end, or something of that ilk. Simply because I feel you've set that up with the opening comment, and it would round everything up quite nicely I feel.

It's true the level is short, but that's no problem, I think if you make a sequel, people will be lining up to play it after that great intoduction.

Please let me know what you think of one of my levels! Not as polished as yours but hopefully you'll enjoy them anyway.

Excellent level. I like your style. I actually played the 3 levels you published so far and I can see you create easy level but good ones. This isn't easy to do you know. I also see that you only got a handful of people playing your stuff. That's really not cool. You should republish your level more often in its first 7 days after publication. Your stuff is worth being known more. In Tribal Ruins I also like the simplicity of your visual. Its beautiful. You got how to mix certain materials together wonderfully.

I don't have much con against Tribal Ruin. The only thing I would do if I were you in some futur is to push the envellope further. Maybe a longer level, or a level with a short path and a long path. Easy levels but with more secrets.

This game needs great easy level. Seriously, they are rare. Now I can play yours with my girlfriend or again suggest it to younger gamers. Never underestimate the value a great "easy" level, it's very fun.

:star::star::star::star: .5 + heart

(gave 5 stars in the game + creator heart since you have at least 3 levels that pleases me)

Thanks alot, RangerZero.

I'll heed your advice and try to republish it once or twice, Im pretty new to the whole publishing business, hence why my plays has been so low.

I'll update this level a couple of times, just to correct some minor stuff, and then maybe make a sequal or something of that fashion.

Thanks for all of the support and helping myself improve. Now Ive got lots of F4F's to play, yay =D
