Nightmare!

Almost everyone knows that dreams form creative, exciting levels in LittleBigPlanet. But what about Nightmares?
This level is sort of like a Survival Challenge; You only get one life.
How well you did determines if you get the Good or the Bad ending.

Please note that this is made specifically for one player. Any more will cause the level to misbehave.

Here are some screenshots.

Hey I played it there and unfortunately it broke on me. I will try it again but not right now. Anyhow I got up to the boss? I pulled a switch that said it was not mandatory and this blue big guy appeared. He killed me and I spawned back at the checkpoint just before the prison.. considering I'm supposed to have one life why is there an infinite cp there? lol maybe a glitch I don't know. Here's what I spotted:

When you first see the person in the cage the sub task complete sound and laughing keeps repeating when you walk past it. I noticed this for a few sfx. First monster that appears a noise keeps repeating in that area.

I thought I got stuck in the elevator. It took ages to open. Oddly it only opened when I attacked it with my popit and removed the stickers from it, how was it supposed to work?

Some speech bubbles are censored. I only took note of the second time I saw it but I know it happened with another speech bubble I just forgot to take note. It was in the room with the spotlight pointing at what looks like a pc monitor. You rotate the spotlight.

That's all I saw that struck me as issues. It had atmosphere and the first enemy made me jump lol I enjoyed it while I played it and will surely have another go at a later time. If you wouldn't mind checking out my F4F level in my sig I'd appreciate it!

Edit: I see the cp in one of your screen shots, surely it's not meant to be there? Breaks the whole 1 life thing! 		2010-04-12 17:35:00

Thanks for playing!

You respawned at the prison? :O
I'm gonna try to fix that.
By the way, which elevator are you talking about? The second one (with the doors)?
LOL Good point about the screen shot. I took it out. 		2010-04-13 00:27:00

I added instructions when you activate it. :kz:

EDIT: I fixed everything but a new bug appeared. If you die before you reach the 2nd to the last area, it says that you ran out of checkpoints instead of taking you to the scoreboard. 		2010-04-13 01:36:00

Very nice. I played it through at the first try and I got good ending! Heres what I think about this:
Bad:
-No music
-Not actually scary
-Didn't have that great feeling that good lbp lvls give to u
Good:
+Great atmosphere
+Cool enemies
+Multipath

I say the worst thing was all about the music and that gameplay. The story in the guys journal didn't awake any feelings in me. Doors that you have to ''roll'' open with that thing were just not nice. And if that evil sackboy got away why did he stop standing in the middle of falling bridge?

Good but might have been better. Atmosphere might have been better with music.		2010-04-15 11:08:00

Hey, I just played your level, (I'm first one, with 9500 points xD). I found it origina, and overall I gave you 4 stars.

Good things:
- the atmosphere is nice
- several paths and options
- creatures!
- it's hard but not insane

There are nevertheless several things I would change:
- there is no music. This makes the level little bit boring
- the atmosphere is good, but can be improved. There are areas rather empty. You should add more decorations
- there is not too much gameplay. Adding some platforms could be a good idea
- there are some areas where you don't know what to do next. At the very end, with the guardians I got stucked. Then, I don't know how, I killed myself with the fire, and respawn at the end of the level... that was little bit frustrating. What was I supposed to do?

Summarithing, the level is good, but it can be improved with more gameplay and more decoration (and music!)

Since you are doing F4F, please take a look at my level "The tanks factory". It's shorter than yours :-p		2010-04-15 18:55:00

Thanks for the plays and the feedback.

@FreeAim: What do you mean by 'that thing' when you said doors you roll open with it aren't nice?

@Onturenio: I looked for it and it wasn't there.
EDIT: LOL maybe it's because I put 'tank' instead of 'tanks'.
I promise I'll check it out when I get back on the PS3. 		2010-04-16 01:49:00

Hey sorry it took a while to get back to you, I hadn't checked my old F4F thread for about a month. I noticed you had left some feedback so I'll leave some on yours.

Good:
Definately has a creepy essence to it, I really like that. When it said the lizard must have done this it became very suspenseful, and I was actually trying to be careful in case it jumped out at me and killed me.
The level looks good.
The story is fantastic.
The zombie monsters look phenomenal as well.

Suggestions:
1. Sometimes it was unclear as to where I should go. For instance, when it said to use "that" switch and it looked at the cell directly beside the door I thought there was a switch in the door. Maybe a better cutscene. Or when you went down the elevator shaft and had to activate the first switch which gave you a bridge and then activate another switch. It lead me to believe that I was to still be going right so I went and checked that locked door and it wasn't unlocked and i took the elevator back up and nothing. Maybe use cutscenes or clues to help players know where to go.
2. The "cranks" that you must turn don't turn very easily, probably should fix that.
3. I both like and dislike the fact that you get one life. It's relatively cool, but also its frustrating and makes me not want to play it over again after I've died 2-3 times and had to restart. However, I like that it adds suspense because your scared you'll have to restart
4. There's a typo on one part of the story where you go near the red journal, I think its the third reading and it says "gave" instead of "have" Not a big deal, just a heads up.
5. The "guardians" seemed a little out of place as that seems to go with legend/mythology type stories and yours seemed to have an origin of science. Also it was really cheap to spawn one of those baddies near you when it made you read a cutscene! I nearly died when the text popped up and made you read it :-/


Overall great level. 4 stars.		2010-05-12 17:51:00
