Volcanoe of the Lost Rubies **Spotlighted** :)

Archive: 50 posts


spok22
na The level takes place in a volcano/aztec ruins type setting. Scattered throughout the level are crystals, that when found that will unlock the passageway to the lost rubies. This level took a LOT of hard work and time so hopefully, you guys enjoy it. Also, i would like to thank a couple of people for playtesting and giving feedback on my level. Without them this level would not have turned out how it is.
Thanks to Xenon, Spark151, Amazingflyingpoo, Taffey, Velcrojonze, and my bro.

Update: I posted a second version of this level called Volcano of a lost ruby(unbubbled) There is not much of a difference between the two except that this second version one is a little behind the first version in stickerwork . Also the only bubbles in this version are the ones behind the hidden crystals. Finally the last and most significant change is that I included an adittional obstacle in the end to get the ruby.

Hi spok 22

I just played your level and i must say that is quite different from the first version, you made impressive improvements, I like your art style throughout, the visual aspect is spectacular, the platforms are fresh, obstacles are very original, most of them not had played in other levels, the difficulty is balanced this is ok, but finished the level and not found any prize bubble perhaps I am missing something, I'll try again. My only complaint was small delay in the game, but all the other was amazing, I enjoyed playing your level. I gave you 5 stars. Good job!!.

Bummer, I just headed off without my PSP for a few days, so I can't check out the final version until Friday I go to play and 2 different earlier versions, and they were both good (with the 2nd one being EXCELLENT), so I am really excited to see the finished product :-)

Everyone should check this out!

Hey Spok,

This was an awesome level! I played it twice because I wanted to find all the rubies. I got all on the second try. I loved the obstacles very well made. I loved the raft ride even though I don't know why there would be one in a volcano, but who cares? It was awesome. The ruby that was very hard for me to get was the one behind the flaming rock, but eventually I got it. Maybe you should corner edit a few things a bit more so they would look a bit natural, but everything is okay as it is. Do you think you should have informed the player that he/she had to collect all the rubies to open the doors at the end of the level? It isn't necessary since it's pretty obvious, but maybe you should. This is the best volcano based level I have played so far. Oh and isn't it Volcano? Without the "e" ? You should also maybe add a good description for the level then thank everyone that helped. Well, that's it. Great level, keep it up Spok!

I gave it :star::star::star::star::star: and a heart. I also hearted you as a creator

Wow it's great to hear to hear that u enjoyed it. ^^ For the ruby behind the fire wall if u were trying to jump down and grab the switch that Is not the way I meant it to be haha. There's actually a switch somewhere in the room that will get you there easily. Also for the description I will try to think of something but I couldn't think of anything at the time of posting so i ended up just putting that..also Thanks alot for the 5 stars and heart 2010-03-31 17:57:00

Time for feedback Spok22.

You know what I find interesting about this level?
How you created the landscape! It was very awesome.
In most volcano levels I've played so far, they usually are brown (like dirt) or red (like lava)
Yours is quite different. Your volcano is black and red streaks of lava!
Now that is how a real volcano should look like.
I'm guessing it was black meaning the volcano was very dark on the inside.
This is why you inspired me! I so had to do the same thing as you, since I was doing many climates in "Solid Journey".

Your first level and your best (for now)
I was impressed with your puzzles you had to insert the level.
As the puzzle with the three landforms and you had to equalize them together!
That was intense. My favorite part of the level is when you do the race.
I mean it wasn't special, but to me, I actually took the time looking at how you created the landscape.

I remember first playing this level, you asked for stickers, and I thought it was appropriate.
You didn't add much, but hey, it was more noticeable than before!
I will tell you, I liked your level, and you should work on more levels.
Although, take your time and work harder. (Like this level)

I hope you learn more about creating as you create!
To end this all, you got 5 stars, :star::star::star::star::star: and a creator heart!

Wooo more positive feedback for the stickers I didn't add too much because I couldn't figure out what would look good where. I decided that I would rather use less and have it look decent than add too many and make my level seem cluttered. So ya that was my thinking on that part. Thanks for the five stars and heart also . I already have an idea for my next level and guess what? Ur solid journey level was the inspiration. Lol.2010-04-01 04:02:00

First of all I want to the thank you Spok for letting me playtest an early version of this level.

I thought it was good then, but now it's great!! You have really created a great level Bro! The atmosphere throughout the level is what drew me in, it's just a cool place you created. Your level designs are awesome on this finished version and your unique take on classic platforming is fresh, the moving platforms that you have to hang from and bustle across was a blast, and I love the couple sections that you have to repail down the embankments, very cool.. My favorite part is the launchers that are like piano keys and you have to get over the top of the gas and pick the right key for the perfect boost. You toned the difficulty down on that I think because it only took two lives to get through there and I remember having trouble on that section on one of your early builds. This time it seems an almost perfect blend of challenge and precise timing, but not so difficult that you would give up. Your sticker work was great too

Five stars, a heart, and I hearted you as creator, because I think you have so much potential, and I intend on keeping up with your progress.

Great job on this level, here's hoping that You, Spark, and myself make this weeks spotlight!!

Hi, Spok22! I tried previous version of your level and now saw completed one. You did big work and created very interesting level! Environments are very good, obstacles well madded and with very good choice of difficulty. I already tried big part of obstacles in previous version, so it was not very difficult for me to complete your level without big troubles. I must say, that I loved this level and so I gave you 5 stars and heart for level and creator's heart for you. I will look for your next levels! Good luck with it!2010-04-01 08:02:00

Hi spok22!
I've just played your level and you leave a smile in my face, it's really nice!
Man I love your atmosphere and the way that you use fire walls as a background, it gives a nice effect
I like the grabbing sections, they are very well thinked and implemented.
Your environments are cool and you use of switches is great. I like your gameplay and uhhmmm, I've already mention that I love the fire walls? Well, however, that was a goooood idea.
And I have a question, because i couldn?t grab the second rubie, how do I do that?
Well, you won 5 :star::star::star::star::star: and two hearts, one for the level and the other one for creator, and I?ll be checking your next levels.

Hidy Ho Spok! I finally got to give the final version of this level a play, and boy oh boy is it awesome! I absolutely love this level!

It is challenging, but never to the point where I am irritated. You seem to perfectly walk the line between challenging me, but not making me want to stop :-)

The scenery in the level is great, and this is where the most major changes were made from the 2nd beta version that I played. You did an excellent job stickering things up and also making sure that the player could not see outside of the level :-) I love the hidden objects in the level, and the point bubbles were excellently placed! Also, I think that it was a very good idea to change the Blue gas into fire in the part where Sackboy is tossed way up in the air to pass over the obstacle.

The only part that I am still confused about is the section where there are the flat blue stones held up by ratchets which move up and down when you grab a switch. Your directions lead me to think that when I grab any of the grab spots, it will cause the winches to move. However, it only seems that the first grab actually does anything, and this makes it hard since you cannot see the position of the platform which is far to the right. I still didn't have too much of an issue there, but it just confused me a little. No big deal :-)

You have made an amazing level here Spok, and I hope you are proud of yourself, because this is A LOT of fun!

Great work!!!

very nice level! i loved the originality of some puzzles and the unique usages of grab materials. i found it confusing at first at what i was meant to do but i soon worked out the paths to take. i only had one issue. The raft. when u die u come out of the checkpoint above the raft and straightaway fall into the gas again.

other than that it was highly enjoyable. ur abseiling sort of parts were very nice!

LOL, I thought I would be one of the first to show up and tell you congrats on the Spotlight, but it would seem that there is already a party going on here to celebrate (does anyone know where the bathroom is... this is my first time to Spok's house).

Anyway, I am super excited to see that you got this. I remember seeing this level for the first time, and boy oh boy has it come a long way. You made all the right choices and turned this into a wonderful and challenging level :-)

Keep up the awesome work!

Just played this and I am impressed at how much you fit into this level. There are a few parts where it was unclear what you needed to do or where the sticker arrows made things confusing... but I eventually figured things out and made my way through the level. The level seemed a little laggy in parts and that made the grip-jumping areas more treacherous but that is a minor thing compared to all the good in this level. :-)2010-04-05 02:42:00

Hey xactar. the lag was one of the main problems i had with the level. I tried to fix it by zooming in with the camera in the most laggy parts but apparentely that did not help much. Also, adding in the point bubbles added a great deal more lag to the level. Do you know any ways that i can lower the lag besides zooming in with the camera?2010-04-07 06:41:00
