Ol' Skallywag's Lagoon

Archive: 11 posts


Ol' Skallywag's LagoonAeroForce22
Venture down into Ol' Skallywag's Lagoon and help him search for his lost body. Beware the beasties that lurk in the depths of the lagoon, and keep your eyes peeled for the missing body parts! Includes a 2x area as well as multiple prizes!
Ol' Skallywag's Lagoon was created by AeroForce22 (me) and eternal_renegade (PSNid: eternal_rengade) for the Online Create Contest.

It's quite funny how this whole thing started out, but I won't bore anyone with that story. Basically it's the first full water level that either of us has ever made. It includes many hilarious enemies, a boss fight that may or may not be difficult depending on who you are, lots of fun and challenging puzzles, and a haunted boat ride that puts you in a scramble by looking for Ol' Skallywag's body parts.

Very exciting and fun level with a brilliant atmosphere provided through the use of lights, music, and other visual artwork. Have fun and let us know what you think.

Silhouettes have always been appealing.

Do you have what it takes to collect all the booty?

Really cute level. Loved the sense of humor in it.

+ Good Materials
+ Nice lighting in places
+ Good sense of humor
+ Cleanly made

The maze where you can't see where your going is a little frustrating and there are a lot of maze style challenges in this one. The 2x section is a little hard too. Can't see the spikes and two of the floaty's seem to be stuck to the wall. I liked the circles with the lights on them as a motif and the lantern areas were nice too. There are some really solid fundamentally sound puzzles and challenges in this level too which is cool. Booty! lol - nice! Looking forward to seeing more work from you!

Thanks for the feedback. ^^ We'll be sure to update with your suggestions. I'll unglue those sponges from the wall in the 2x area, we could add more glass to the maze, and I honestly don't know how I'd fix the spikes on the 2x area. ^^' Hopefully it won't be a level ruiner for people.

(And renegade and I are working on a different level right now, it's all about points and puzzles. Hopefully it'll turn out well. ;D)

I have updated the first post with pictures. Hopefully it'll get more plays now. xD (Sorry if bumping for pics isn't allowed. ^^" I couldn't find the thread that explained bumping, and I'll go search for it now.)2010-02-15 20:38:00

Thanks morgana25!

I/we really appreciate the comments! And yes, we'll figure out some clever way to keep the maze still challenging but something that is more doable. And it'll probably look even better when we are done with it.

As for the spikes in the 2x section, maybe if we adjust the camera a bit... that could help. Oh and maybe some stickers

Now I am curious about the things people don't like about it. Granted, we are not using the F4F on this level but I know I would appreciate it if anyone could point out any other things that could be worked on, and if anyone runs into any bugs. 2010-02-18 05:31:00

This levels got quite a good atmosphere to it. Nice game play, I liked the part dragging the ball in those mini mazes great use of water. Maybe a few more decorations here and there and maybe something to find the bones more easier, took a while to find them but maybe it's coz I suck. 4 stars and tagged fun.2010-02-23 14:45:00

Pretty nice level. Visuals weren't anything special, but the gameplay was pretty neat. I especiallly loved the first part where you drag the balls through the maze to open the door. xD Made me smile. I only got one treasure chest open though. D:
I gave it :star::star::star::star: and "fun" tag.

Nice level. The visuals of this level didn't surprise me but the gameplay did. I like the water puzzles and I hilariously liked the moving skeleton head. The level needs polishing with more objects, corner editing, stickers and decorations but overall the gameplay worked well.2010-05-23 20:16:00
