This level was pretty fun, but I couldn't help but feel like a lost little puppy at times. It was very long, fun, and easy-going, so I'd recommend it in that regard. It's on Pg 1 of Cool Pages right now, so it should be pretty easy to find.2010-01-18 14:44:00

It's a very cute idea. I played it yesterday with a friend who had been through it before and it was cool. If I'd had to figure out all the tricks and directions myself it would have been a lot more confusing but still good. Loved the English translations but their logos at the beginning are fantastically designed.2010-01-18 17:33:00

This is a fantastic level. Very few times I've seen such a quality work.
It's true it can become a bit confusing sometimes, but overall a superb level.

amazing level with 3 thermos worth of play time, it's a must play just keep 3 things in mind
The middle layer is reserved for dumping your gold down
Remember the location of your elevators
Even though the last cart wont spawn every gold brick, they will all count at the end

Today I played this level with some friends, but we eventually got lost or something broke on us, or I ignore what exactly... after 15 mins playing it. ****, that hurted!

Neverthless, I thought that it was a very good level overall, worth 5 stars. Yes, the starting was like TOO slow, and some sections were frustrating/confusing, but you could tell that the level had been really polished and worked on.

Btw, I was really suprised that such a level sits in page 1. I mean, this one does actually require thinking, it's just not another survival or nothing that resembles it; such levels tend to get easily downrated, however this one seems to be treated very fairly.
Any thoughts on why this happens?

Maybe is because the level hasn't been attacked by many noobs yet. Newbies are one of the main reasons for horrible ratings since they can only complete straight-lined levels.

well looks like I've been beaten Apu beat me on the topic and poms beat me to my own videos lol.

I'm glad he took a break from his movie and coaster-style levels to bring this.

My theory is as this level being very long, it retains players for quite a long time, so it appears in busiest frecuently.
Noobs (and not so noobs) can access the level from there, pushing it to 1st page of cool pages.

I don't know where some of the negative replys come from this has to be one of the most creative and playable levels I have ever seen! To nit pick what is an amazing level which must have taken the creators so much time is beyond me....

For those of you out there who have not played it do yourself a favour and do so at the earliest opportunity.

what I found most impressive is that there is actually proper gameplay mechanics - not just a technical showcase or a pretty ride...

Played this and thought it was great. I loved searching all over the caverns and although the direction was sometimes skewed, it was one of those levels that was as good as the amount of time you invested.

The look was simple, yet elegant. The puzzles and platforming were polished nicely, and I liked the multiple endings.

My only qualm is that the level can take quite a bit of time. It's great, but one of the lessons I picked up from it was to never make a level drag on like this one did at some points.
