Ja-Ja Land 3D

Archive: 24 posts

Ja-Ja Land 3Dfenderjt
Ja-Ja Land is a warm, sunny and happy place.
I named this level Ja-Ja Land as Ja ja means ha ha in Spanish and i think its cute! It fit well with my level too

Meet Bernie the Butterfly, the Ja-Ja's and Larry the Ladybug! I added trout mouth from my Vertigo levels for a laugh too!
Bernie the Butterfly is with you throughout most of the level, he follows you as you walk along.
I added rainbows to make it feel like a nice happy place!

I have included a butterfly cocoon hunt, you have to find 5 cocoons to win 3 prizes near the end of the level!

I have used the 3D glitch and added quite a bit of detail. I have made more of an effort with the visuals compared to any of my other levels. Hope it shows!
This level has gameplay and scenery, i didnt want it just to be based on the scenery. I also added a boss, it is not to hard to defeat as i didnt want people to get annoyed with it, i have tried to make it fun.

I would say the difficulty of this level is easy. I want it to flow nicely without people getting fustrated and annoyed. I want people to enjoy playing Ja-Ja Land and to come back again.

(I have entered this level into the LBW4 competition)

I hope you all enjoy Ja-Ja Land!

This level is a visual masterpiece. You done an amazing job on the 3D layer. Not only that, it also has a good gameplay. The "Donkey Kong Country" inspired barrel launcher is a blast and the train ride is awesome. The boss battle is radical, but those weird enemies are too easy to beat. I also liked the idea of finding those cocoons even though I missed 2 of them. I don't know how you did the rain thing just like in your Malibu level but it looked awesome. Amazing job.2010-04-29 01:00:00

I was really disappointed .The level was a bag of boring ,badly made background (more like inconsistency some were good other were awful ,which only make the bad parts more infuriating ),game play mechanics so used,bland and unimaginative made me wanna return to the pod, unnecessary vehicle ride(i really doubt it was unnecessary since u put it there for a reason ,but it was so boring it felt unnecessary),the boss battle was run of the mill (an kinda rush since it was introduce in the very last minute ).

This level is by no means bad is just boring ,bland ,run of the mill everything it does it 's been done and far better .Vertigo 1 and 2 (and some parts of 3) are so fun ,inspiring,and beautiful(i know they have their defects but they are unique )that being said ,this level feel like a punch to the face.it's so disappointing and heartbreaking for me since I've played better levels, some created by you .The rate is 2 Stars .
Cya in LBp and Take care.

P.D. I fully understand all the work and effort that goes into a level like this ,that's why i rated 4 stars in-game ,creator like u deserved it for your effort.you better keep working and keep the levels coming ^_^,that's the only way to get better .		2010-04-29 03:23:00

Wow you must of said the word bad and boring a few times there but i guess thats your opinion. As i said i wanted to make the level easy, i wanted people to flow through the level without any difficulty. I made a effort on the visuals and your the first person to say they were bad. There might be more people who say it but well see. I didnt think the level was bland as i added decorations and rainbows to keep it from looking empty.

In my opinion i wouldnt class the vehicle ride as random as the whole level is random. Its Ja-Ja Land, a non exsisting place. I just thought it would have been better then just walking along.

You must of really thought everything was bad as you say its a 2 star level, i didnt think it was THAT bad . I hope you enjoy my next level. Thanks for the feedback. 		2010-04-29 09:11:00

Ouch, take that Fender
Nah, it's his/her opinion so they're entitled to it.

Hello Fender,

Actually just played your level and noticed your msg about this thread.
I have to say that I find your level cute and im sure the young lbp people (your target) will like it.
I actually think your 3d background looks nice, it really fits the 3 playable layers in style.
The following butterfly is a nice touch and you added some nice visuals elements like the fountain, rainbow, the fish under the bridge and so on.

That said, the level was too easy for me.. but then again I am not your target audience ( i hope )
So no worries there.

I added you on psn btw,
but it seems you got many many friends and fanboys as your psn acc. was full

cheers,

Hi again, I just finished playing it.

I really liked the visuals you worked them in so seamlessly and the detail you have in some places, must have been a right pain to achieve that level of detail. Bernie B or Bennie B, I forget, was as Lous said a nice touch, it reminded me of the fairy that follows you in Zelda. There were some nice little platforming areas that I enjoyed, nice'n'easy. The cocoons were also a nice feature, I just need to find that darn 5th one! I also enjoyed the boss battle, still easy but some fun none the less.

Now for what I think could have improved the level.
It was a little too short for my liking, I would have liked it to be less linear, a few more nooks and crannies would have let the player explore a bit more and give them more time to take in the great scenery, muck about with friends and just plain muck about.

Overall though, i think you've accomplished what you set out to achieve. It was innocent fun, relaxing and I did feel happy while playing it, it also made me forget about the cold I have, so that was good.

Well done Fender		2010-04-29 12:37:00

Hey Fender, I gave this a go last night and I had a fun time with it! As some of the other members pointed out, it's very easy for us seasoned LBPers, but I think younger players would love it! In fact, I mentioned to Compher that I would have to let my niece play as I know she'd love it!

Visually, I thought it was very well done and I could tell you put a little more effort into the visuals than usual. The glitch layer work was really nice and unlike maxjeager, I thought they looked great throughout. As for the gameplay, it was a bit easy, but I had fun moving through it. The ladybug boss does kind of show up out of nowhere, but I liked her design and the boss fight itself was simple, but fun!

Overall, I think this was a very cute level and I enjoyed it! Keep up the good work!		2010-04-29 14:51:00

Got around to playing this last night and I must say, it's your most visually pleasing level yet.

Bright cheery colors and good use of materials and decorations. Made me realize just how much better a level can look using decos. Gameplay was pretty laid back and simple which, as has been said, is good for the kiddies. I found all the cocoons on my first play.

The ladybug boss was cute. Nice level again! I don't know how you can crank em out so fast lol.		2010-04-29 20:01:00

Errm i dont know what to say thats not been said, lol.
The use of the layer glitch is some of the best ive seen, all the detail in the background must have taken a fair bit of time to complete but it looks like it was worth it. Very laid back on the gameplay side of things but this is more about the visuals in my opinion. The very last part before the boss looks beautiful when you climb the hill and look down

All in all a great level, a its nice to see its still 5 stars too, well done. Keep them comin.

(Also i still havent found the 5th cocoon )		2010-04-29 20:16:00

Congratulations Tia, once again you have impressed me, this is your best level so far, the game-play was awesome. The fact you had to look for cocoons made it more interesting. The usage of the 3D layer glitch was pretty cool, overall i rated 5 stars and i gave you a heart. Keep up!2010-04-29 23:00:00

I'm going the same direction as MaxJeager/angel-punishment on this one. It didn't do anything for me. I'll try not to be harsh but in my opinion it is one of your weakest levels, and while it does appeal to the younger audience (once they pull their heads out of "30 hard jumps of floaty doom!!") it overall wasn't a great level. I found the visuals to be far too inconsistent. Gameplay was fun, yet felt all was done before.
I think next you should attempt something more directly a simplistic platformer, without the gimmicks of glitches etc. I think you could do an awesome job with something more like that.
My rating is 3 stars for this, but gave 4 in-game for the same reson as Max.
Hope this helps 		2010-04-29 23:04:00

Wow, that was quite awesome! Great use of the 3D glitch, the background was so full looking. I really liked the butterfly that followed you around and the acorns, they were nice touches. the end boss was really fun too! Its nice to see a paintinator free boss every once in a while, especially one that's well done 5 stars!2010-04-30 04:54:00

I played this a day ago, it was cool. Duffluc explains most of my thoughts on this level. ^^ This is your best level yet that uses the layer glitch. The visuals were nice too, and I liked the boss at the end. I got 4 out of 5 of the secrets,

I rated it :star::star::star::star::star: an hearted it. :kz:		2010-05-01 14:17:00

I prefered the gameplay of you previous level more to this one although player launchers are always fun. The main draw of the level is in the visuals:eek:, which made great use of the extra layers to create a bright, colourful, and fun looking environment.

why oh whhy ohh whhy ohhh why. Its so shiny.		2010-05-01 16:18:00
