King Orca And His EVIL Sandcastle of DOOM!

King Orca And His EVIL Sandcastle of DOOM!LordMagicPants
King Orca is planning something EVIL! Travel into his sand fortress and put and end to his EVIL ways! Did I mention his EVIL?
Huray, all the jerky pistons and motor bolts have gone, was hell moving all this into a new level, but anyway.

We got lots in this level, just as long as attack of the flying donkeys was, shark guards! blah! swimming sections, jumping sections, paint gun sections, jet pack sections, two mini bosses and one main boss! and mini story!

Here's a bit of history of this level, Before water beta came out I wanted to make a level to do with sharks using fake water, the idea at time was street sharks and GTA mixed together.

I was then inspired by this picture by Catbomb to make the Orca King http://panzerbanana.deviantart.com/art/Catbomb-vs-King-Orca-25197737 I just loved the title "King Orca" dunno why but I then went of and made my own, at the time I made him fat, he was going to be a lazy king but soon changed to what you see now.

I then scrapped the idea of everything underwater (like an under water palace) and then had the idea for a sandcastle. I was going to give it a go on water beta but for some reason I made a VERY boring mermaid level... I started a little bits on it but then scrapped it.

After POTC pack came out I went forward to make what you see now. I'm also glad I played Mrsspookybuz sandcastle (which is muuuch better then this poop)...I didn't even know a sand material came with the pack, I was going to make mine out of sandpaper...

Day before publishing EVERYTHING DIES! all the pistons and motors bolts were all jerky and horrible, magic mouths sometimes skipped, emitters changed a layer back and chains were unusable... but after working LONG I copied all the level into a new one and hooked all the wires back up giving you this result. Enjoy.

Ah,finally!

I'll give this a go and tell you what I think... although I've played parts of it already and can already tell you it's great.

Cool, thanks mate. I manged to get rid of all the jerky pistons and motor bolts... wasn't easy but I just took everything and placed it into a new level... hooking everything back up with wires wasn't pleasant.2010-02-12 23:52:00

I played this last night and thought it was brilliant. The gameplay was a whole lot of fun and the characters were well detailed and had some fun dialogue. This level took me back to when I first played MM's story levels for some reason. Hearted and 5 stars.2010-02-13 14:55:00

Ok, having played this last night, I can definitely say it was brilliant.

The atmosphere was nice and fun, gameplay was innovative and the dialogue actually made me laugh out loud.

I think this is going to be in my top 10 levels. It just made me so jolly!

Awesome! I love all your levels, and this is no exception. My one problem would be that camera zone transitions throughout the level were kind of abrupt and sometimes made things hard to see, so I would see if you could tweak those a little.2010-02-13 15:54:00

I LOVED this level, except for one thing. The verabee cutouts. They REALLY clashed with the scenery. I know you probly can't be bothered to edit anything, so maybe try all custom characters next time?(loved the people btw and great ending)2010-02-13 18:16:00

Ah, thanks for your feedback. Mind if I give feedback for Whispers in the Darkness instead? I mean I like the whole idea with The Proteus Prophecy, it's just I keep getting stuck...

If you thought that was good then your going to love my next level involving certain monkeys and werewolves. (shh don't spoil it now)... hopefully. But cool, thanks for the feedback, means a lot. Do you want a feed for a level? all dressed up? or a sleepy haze? or both?

Cameras to me are always a pain to get right... were there any certain areas that suffered the most? anyway thanks for the feed!

What does that mean, clashed with the scenery? I don't get that, but thanks for the feed, much appreciated.

Also to anyone else who likes feedback link me to your level... think I done most peoples so far... if not nudge me. Also I got a tag tricky, was the level really that tricky?

Earlier today I was just thinking... "I wonder has LordMagicPants made any new stuff? YAY he has and from the screenshots it looks as humourous as ever from you. I'll definetely check it out..2010-02-15 21:46:00

Just finished the level. Loved the characters, the whole loop around thing was cool at that one section with the three people, and the Orca was just awesome in every way possible.

My only critique is to possibly tone down on the seaweed/barnacles, they got a little too cluttered in some parts. Other than that, it was flawless. 5/5

(If you ever get the chance, would be so kind as to try out the level in my sig?)

This level is AMAZING! I loved it

The characters were Hilarious and I loved Orca's Plan

Game play was awesome. I loved the race underwater with the bombs where you had to use the switch to detonate them, that was pretty unique. I've never seen it done in that way before.
I also thought that part where you have the platform being rotated with those gears was pretty cool too. The design of this level blew me away. It truly felt like I was playing a level from Mm with the character design and the scenery. The humor in the level was great too. I actually laughed to myself, and I don't usually laugh to myself ever, unless something was extremely funny. Really really REALLY enjoyed this level. 5 stars and a heart!:star::star::star::star::star:

If you could please, play my level Canyon Of the Three-Headed Beast for f4f? I would greatly appreciate it.

I have to agree. This is a "Must Play" Everything is perfect! It has story, easy yet fun gameplay, puzzles and a boss! This may be the best level i have ever played! I am amazed it doesn't have a 5 star. Don't let this level pass you by.

A really fun level Lord, a ton of MM stylee platforming and a great look. Its really hard to embue a cast of characters with a decent amount of personality in the space of one level but you managed it here - the best thing about your levels for me is the dialogue, your stuff ALWAYS manages to make LOL.

I only had a minor suggestion, underwater with the first batch of sharks, the darkness of the water combined with the tight camera angles (especially the camera transition to the third one) make that section a little confusing to navigate. and thats it. everything else comes off perfectly, its a fantastic level!

yeah... there was a bit too much of that stuff... just didn't like the feel of empty spaces, but thank you.

Played this last night after I saw Julesyjules play and heart it.... great great level! Just like your flying donkeys level, this level is packed to the hilt with fun moments. Even though there is technically a story, it feels like you mainly kept thinking "ok.... what would be fun for the player to do next, and how can I then make it fit into the story?" which, I think, is a good direction. Great job!2010-02-23 17:37:00

Excellent level! I like most of the humor and it looked very nice. Only thing I would suggest is fixing or adding some camera zones, they just didn't seem too smooth.2010-02-24 04:37:00

I played this level yesterday and it was a blast. The humor is clever, the character designs cracked me up, and the level design is great. This level has a great use of real water and Vera Bee Stickers too. The end of the level really boosts the laughs. Well done:>2010-03-29 17:22:00
