Level name: All Dressed up by: iGotFancyPants Search: @iGotFancyPants Well now, It's time to do my second review for iGotFancyPants. This time it is on his level All Dressed up which is where you are a (Sack)Boy in this town going trick or treating. You do something 'Bad' and are then pursued by this creepy person, in running you end up in a very spooky place, trying to avoid hazards and figure out where you are. You jump platforms, avoid ghosts and maneuver carts to try and find out where you are. You then find a treasure and while trying to get it, grab a yellow switch which launches you back into town where all the trick or treating continues and find out why this creepy person wanted to follow you. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x302/Haseo_25/APhoto_1.jpg Aesthetics: This stage looks amazing. There's alot of personality to be found. Checkpoints all have faces and they all look different. There's a lightning effect as you walk through the village and blackouts in certain places. It'll also turn black and white for a small while. In the otherworld everything looks torn and as if it's barely hanging. Then it changes to look like something you would see at a halloween party. Lots of flashing lights, green slime and ghosts saying "Ooooh!" There's also some cameos of LBPC on there. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x302/Haseo_25/APhoto_2.jpg Gameplay: This level is just copious amounts of Platforming. It's all very well paced at first and you can get through the running away part just by moving forward and jumping. There's coal jumping as well which is much more difficult in this stage because they get spit out very often. There's also parts where grab onto a ball and slide downwards as well as using a ball attached to a platform for leverage while jumping and also to stop you from sliding off the ice. The first problem comes in with the boulder that slams down to catapult you into the air. Sometimes it will not go high enough so you land on the ground above. Sometimes you'll land on top of the boulder and it'll roll and possibly crush you. But that's a very small possibility. You can simply just stand at the end and wait for another boulder to catapult you so no big deal. It does ruin the pace though. The next problem is that the ropes holding the floorboard in the other world ruin the altitude of your jumps. Which can cause plenty of deaths while going for the switch for a cart. A really good and unique part is where you get into a cart and as it goes down, you maneuver it left and right to avoid the blue gas. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x302/Haseo_25/APhoto_3.jpg Length: It is a nice medium length of a game. It gives you enough time to gaze at the great and amazing backgrounds and effects. Exploration: There's not much exploration in this place either, all very linear though it is a very big linear place. There are also a couple of things to collect. Dangers: There's not much to be scared of here as far as dying goes. You will dye a couple of times to progress the storyline but nothing else poses much of a threat. Problems: When falling back into the town, you may possibly land on a roof which if jumping off the wrong way will land you in the outskirts of town. Severity: 4/10 Why? All you do is Hold to retry and then jump through the void again and you'll land in the town hopefully. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x302/Haseo_25/APhoto_4.jpg Overall: 8.5/10 This Level is definitely worth playing. It may not spook you but it does have that Halloween charm. It also has LBPC which is WIN obviously. xD The platforming is fun and pacing is consistent for a while though the boulder and ropes ruin it. Don't expect anything more than a platformer with this. No paintinator or Water. xD But if you just wanna jump from here to there and grab this to roll down that and see all the spookiness, then All dressed up will satisfy you perfectly. =P

I am very pleased with your reviews. Yes, this level isn't meant to be spooky but just to have a little 'Halloween feel'. As for the problem, I will try to figure that out. I think I'll rewire up the last bit of the level. Thanks again, I'll be back for more :kz:
