Cool. Looks like you're improving on the visual end by the goings of those visuals. I never thought visuals youre strong point. You had other strengths. Looking forward to playing! 2010-03-26 23:27:00

Just played it and here is what I think:

Pros:
Colorful and imaginative
Fun game play mechanics
two bosses

Problems I found with the level:

The camera angle at the begging was a bit annoying because of how much it shakes

While battling the stump I saw it's logic boxes shadows moving around

During the machine fight I was getting frustrated at two things>:

1. How fast the gears moved (especially the bottom one). This made especially hard to get the lower brains.

2.I found myself dying a lot but I guess that's part of the challenge


for F4F check my sig.

Thank you for listening to my feedback especially the part about the gears spinning too fast. I got much less frustrated with those and was able to aim better


conclusion: 4 stars and a heart

Yeah no problem, should the gears be slower? or are they good? Also can u see the logic boxes still?

The gears are perfect. I can see the logic boxes shadows when I spawn but that is it.

When you have time could you give me some feedback on my level? It's in a link in my signature on this post.

This was an amazing level. The visuals were detailed but somehow felt bland at the same time. I loved the logic on the bosses and the puzzles. 5 stars and a heart.2010-03-27 04:03:00

Very good level stunkel. The environments were great, and the characters looked brilliant. I think the forest could have a little more detail, like lights and decorations. Other than that, 4 stars and a heart.2010-03-28 14:18:00

My main problem with this level was that you had detail in the visuals, but it seemed to be done wrong. As someone said earlier that the visuals were detailed AND bland at the same time. The reason being that Everything is square. If you just look at the digger/dozer whatever ( I can't remember), that thing should have sleek corner edited edges. I'm not just talking about that part, everywhere felt squarish and too gridded. This is the problem I've had with all of your levels.
Keep up the good work and try to experiment a little more with visuals and the corner editor.

Ps. No need to multi-post so much.

oh ok, so would it be something like jackofcourses levels? and thanks for the advice, usually people just tell me to add more decorations and other random objects that would fit the levels scenery. All of that definitly helped, but I'll try working on it some more. Thanks for the help!

I just played this one, and I really enjoyed it. I like the theme, and I think the game play all works really well. I didn't find anything that was a problem. I had a blast playing through this. Some people say you need work on your visuals, but I think it depends on what look your going for. There are so many different styles out there that it's really a matter of opinion. I think that if your happy with your visuals than leave it the way it is, because the level is really fun as is, and the looks don't detract too much. Great work!!

Could you try my LBP Paint Factory? Thanks.

Update:

fixed a small bug in the beginning I noticed once you enter the lumbermill, the checkpoint slides over to the gas but only if you wait a bit

I added a small bridge that emitts over one of the water puzzles so that the players don't get killed

Small arrows have been added for directional confusion

Cool level. The boss battles are intriguing, the characters are cleverly funny, and the platforming works well. Although the visuals are not jaw dropping, the gameplay seems to work really well. Nicely done.2010-03-29 23:48:00

A very enjoyable level. It has some very nice character designs. It gets straight into the action with a chase which is different and nice to see. Some of the mechanics were really well done, such as the turning staire section near the start.

The tree boss was very fun and played more like a survival challenge. The paint switch made me think wheres the paint gun until I jumped on the switch and noticed the balls are emitted. Just three attacks to kill it works well as anymore than that and it woulkd become repetitive. It felt good to destroy the bulldozer at the end too.

An interesting and fun level. :star::star::star::star::star: and hearted.

Congratulations! very nice level... played it the other night! Loved the fellow nature buddy... beret-ted baddie! It was a load of fun, good humor sprinkled in and most of all fun! the machine at the end was good stuff too! I'm always afraid to build bosses but really liked yours. Just enough story too to make an emotional investment. Well done!2010-04-02 03:12:00

Thanks, I usually try to be as original as possible with the stuff I build. I really appreciate the comment, and I hope that you enjoy my other levels, you will be seeing more from me

Really great level, I had a blast playing this!

Cool Things:

- I really can't get over just how much fun it is to play through this level, start to finish. Great flow.
- Details like the gas pipe hallway, the rotating stairs and the rocks getting caught up in the gears to proceed, etc, are ingenious and really add to the charm of the level
- I really like the visual style in this level
- Awesome bosses!

Suggestions:

- During the tractor chase in the beginning, the camera angle made it so I couldn't see in front of me as my sackperson was all the way on the left of the screen. Still doable, but I had to let the tractor get right up on me before I could really tell where I was going. If this could be tweaked at all this section would be even better
- The character who asks you to find out about the forest being taken out brings up a message box that pops up right before you get to the last group of bubbles in a set. Hardly game-breaking, but all I could think was "My combo!" : D
- On the platform above the conveyor belt, when you pull the lever a message pops up that says "-". Why does it do this? I couldn't figure it out.
- After you make it outside the lumbermill again, there's a row of trees and hanging vines. As you move to the left, you can catch a glimpse of the top of one of the vines and it's just hanging in the air. Minor thing, but if you can raise the top out of frame from that angle, it will keep the immersion you have going on.

Bottom line: Amazingly fun level, 5 stars and hearted. If you're still good for F4F, can you check out my level "Sackboy 2109: A Dystopian Tale"?

Thank you so much for you comment, and a reply to your suggestions:

-That little "-" that appears after hitting that switch above the conveyor belt is to let the player know that those electric things have disapeared, I'm not trying to sound like a jerk when I ask this but did it bother you? If it did please let me know.
-Thank you for letting me know about the vines hanging, I never really noticed it, I kinda rushed through that last part I guess and didnt really check it over thoroughly. And for the angle of that last part, I will try to raise it
-Also I will try to make it so the camera angle allows you to see ahead of you during the tractor part, thank you for letting me know. I kinda forgot about the race part and how people will go as fast as possible and probably cant see where they are going.

But I am really glad that you enjoyed the level and thanks for hearting it and I will check out your level

OK, finally got around to playing it, I liked the characters and the boss battle was great, the lunbermill theme was a good idea since it has rarely been used.

You are like ''Queen''. You make few awesome levels like Queen makes few asome songs, but then you make something like Little Big Food levels and Queen makes something like ''Bicycle ride''. WHY!? This level shows exactly why I DO NOT hate you as a creator. I gave this 4 stars and heart.2010-05-07 18:39:00
