Wiggle your way like a mouse around books and presents in the cluttered shelves of a colorful room.

Not a lot of feedback required just let me know what you think of my style and tell me if you want me to play your levels or give feedback.

These images look cool. I played Vanilla Breeze before and really liked that. I'll check this out later.2010-01-31 16:41:00

I loved this level. The colours were gorgeous and lush and I liked the way the saturation effect seemed to intensify as the level progressed until at the end it reminded me of Vanilla Breeze. I thought the whimsicality was fun ? fantastically random objects like joke false teeth, golf balls and stilettos appearing side by side with things more usually found on shelves, like books and records. Some nice touches too like the nibbled mouse hole (shown in one of the pictures in the OP) and the lovely custom background.

The bubble placement was impeccable (pretty bubbles too) and the level was just great fun to play as you really do have to develop your ?mouse? strategy to get round, over or under the obstacles. Addictive as well. I played it three times back to back trying to improve my score.

Easily 5 stars and hearted. (You already have a creator heart from me.)

Like your Vanilla Breeze level, this one has a very original and great visual style!

Nice colours combinaison, with great lighting effects and nice use of decorations!
Maybe it's not the kind of visuals that everybody will like, but that's what I find interesting, as your style is pretty unique!

The gameplay was fun, even if I'm not the best when it comes to bubble combos...

Anyway, I really enjoyed playing it, and hearted it for originality!

Unfortunately I am one of those people. I thought the gamplay / platforming was fine but I found the colours nauseating

I liked the idea and the color combination.

However, the colors were sometimes too bright, and a lot of the areas ended up being over exposed. It was very hard on the eyes. The level was also somewhat disorientating, and it was difficult to know which way to go next.

Also, I think you should try to do more creative things with the prize bubbles, besides just hanging them, or placing them on the ground.

Thanks everyone! I'm happy with the response I've been getting so far. It's supposed to be a disorienting level. The gameplay is bubble chaining and finding your way ahead. If it's too bright you may just have too much gamma on your tv.2010-02-04 00:18:00

I have to admit I was reluctant to try it given the colours, but I found it sat well with the arty objects you made. Loved the balloons and rummaging around in drawers. Top marks and hearted. Give one of mine a try if you fancy 2010-02-04 00:38:00

Wow, really artistic level you've got here! It's a blast to explore, and I honestly thought the colors worked well with each other. What I was amazed at was the fact that it was so huge, with so much room to explore, yet not once did i get lost or feel as though I didn't know where I was going. awesome level!2010-02-04 00:59:00

Hey - Just played this and what a visual treat it was! Awesome use of decorations and stickers and so much to see and do. I was kinda sad when I got to the scoreboard, cuz I knew I had missed a whole lot of the level. I'll have to go back and do it again.

Not much bad to say, except that I got pseudo-stuck a few times. I say pseudo stuck, because they were never total restart level breakers - I was always able to finally wriggle my way back out of them, but it was a bit frustrating (and I was sure at least once that I was gonna have to at least pop back to the checkpoint - although I never did). Mostly under or behind a tipped book was where I seemed to get pinned down. Now there's really not much that I can see for you to do about it... nor do you really need to - I did get out of it every time!

Anyway... great fun and the dimensions really made me feel like a true sackboy! :star::star::star::star::star:, Hearted and tagged Beautiful!

This is a great & fun level. I have no complaints. I loved the crazy colors. It didn't even feel like a lbp level to me as I played through it. Definately a unique experience.

Good work!

Thanks guys! I glad to hear you're having fun in the level. I was worried it was a little boring if you don't like the visuals.

You can get stuck in some places but it happens so rarely I thought it was ok since I could wiggle my way out most of the time. A lot of stuff is attached with invisible strings to prevent players from trapping themsevels.
