Abandoned Freighter (Co-op)

Archive: 3 posts


Hey guys, I finally decided to touch up my old beta level "Abandoned Freighter" in an attempt to make it... erm... slightly more playable. The level was made in a span of two days (and nights) by yours truly, with some help from the esteemed Phort.

The level, as the name suggests is entirely cooperative, so grab a buddy and check it out! It begins with you and your fellow sack mates flying into an old, abandoned freighter in order to scope it out and see what's going on. What lies waiting in the ship as you delve deeper!? Only you can find out! Also, remember to be on the look out for bugs... no, not that kind of bug, they're green, bug-eyed creatures scattered about the level. Try to find and collect all 6 for extra points.

Have fun and good luck!

Very fun it took us 3 tries to find all the bugs. (1st try we only found 1, 2nd try 5, 3rd try all 6)

I'd recommend changing some text bubbles so that they don't involve the camera, several times that killed us or it skipped, especially at the beginning with the converyor belt carrying lava (or whatever hot stuff it was supposed to be)

Speaking of that and bugs, where the stairs are in that area

if you jump down those stairs and head left at just the right timing bouncing of the fire materal that goes on the converyor belt. you can sneak past the conveyor belt at the beginnning, find some logic and jump down to where the robots are where you have to pull them apart. So you might want to fix that. (I uploaded a pic on the level of that for lulz)

A strange thing that happend was where the boss was I was standing on something invisible and floating in the air (again I uploaded a pic)

One more thing that might be fixed is how the shooter for what you use to kill the boss can be used as a shield and if placed correctly can make the boss entirely too easy cause the shooter blocks one side and fires at that side while the shield protects the other.

Since me and Grey spent quite awhile on it, I went and recorded it. Its uploading now

Sorry for the super late reply, I didn't see your post 'til now. I really appreciate your feedback and the video is awesome! Thanks Jkthree.

I'm glad you guys liked the level so much and were able to figure everything out. It's great you found all of the "bugs", I was a little scared they were hidden too well.

Also, about that little area you managed to get to... come on! I've tried to jump over there dozens of times, but have never been successful. Hehe, thanks for proving me wrong, I'll probably add some kind of Easter egg over there now that I know you can get to it.

In terms of the boss... to tell you the truth, I kinda hate it.It's hard to control, frustrating and poorly executed. If I ever get the time, I'll rebuild it from the ground up. Have any suggestions for a better way to do it?

As for everything else, I'll definitely take your suggestions and feedback into consideration. To memory, I've never had a problem with the text bubbles, but I'll check it out again.

Thanks!
