Agent Sackwell Smartajnknox
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv147/ajnknoxville/SS4.jpgYou are Secret Agent Sackwell Smart and your mission is to defeat KAOS, the evil organization that is your sworn enemy. Explore Big City and find their Secret Vault in an attempt to discover their evil plans!
This Level series is a tribute to Secret Agents.

I used the 60's TV show Get Smart, Austin Powers, and James Bond for inspiration. There are lots of gadgets, secrets and funky decor! Can you discover KAOS's Vault and enter the correct code to uncover their evil plans!?

This level is an open world environment. Luos and Adi were inspirational with there "Thieves of Ankh Morpork" It is a rather long level so make sure you have 20 min or so to play. It has a little Platforming and ALOT of puzzle solving!

1 Secret Agent/PLAYER at a time Please!

There is an Emergency exit if you are unable to solve the Vault Code.

Special thanks to: Comphermc for his logic help, Morgana25 for her valuable opinions, VeRsions_Z for hanging out and helping me play test it over & over and for his help designing the members of KAOS! & last but not least Helicopter creator DJ Dismal!

Some photos for your viewing pleasure:

This level has taken me twice as long as my other levels did to create. This is apparent by the amount of detail I have tried to pack in here! I ran out of Thermo at the end so the finish isn't quite what I wanted but it sets the stage for Part 2 which will be bigger and better than this. I have lots of goodies I couldn't fit into this one that will start Part 2 off with a BANG!

I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did making it!

All F4F excepted and returned with comparable* feedback. (*You give me 2 sentences of feedback and I'll give the same) I dont have any thermo left but if you suggest an improvement that works I'll do my best to make room!

This looked really good, lots of detail and good use of the incredible kit. But after i talked to that guy on the "secret screen" I went down the elevator and explored both ways and didnt know what to do. The switch on the left side didnt work, and the elevator on the right side was already down, idk if i missed something or not but yeah,...

F4f if your intrested. -Strange (1 Player adventure)

The guy on the secret screen tells you to go to the Phone Booth. Go and grab the phone.

* I hope your wrong about the elevator in the Soak Building being down. If it is then I have a problem *

I am at work till tonight but will check out your level when I get home.

ok - finally got though it There's a lot I love about this level.

+ Your details are excellent - the hot dog cart, the safe, the computer, the hellicopter, all look great!
+ Love the opening sequence.
+ The computer screens are adorable.
+ Character design for KAOS guys is cute - especially the monacle guy!

Ok - couple of things. I like the changes you made to the training area. It's much more predictable and fair now. The look of it is sort of out of place with the clean sterile stone of the city above but it looks cool.

The heli doesn't work so good with three people and having the checkpoint right next to it makes it hard to pop for it to be a 1x situation. Maybe put the checkpoint off screen so people can pop?

It's pretty short in terms of length and while the left and bottom part of the level have awesome details the rest felt a little empty. I'm guessing it was a thermo situation rather than your choice but it does stand out a bit.

Still I had had a lot of fun playing it and gave it 5 stars & hearted it!

Loved it! Great story and characters. I'm a big fan of the original "Get Smart" series, and you did a nice job staying with the theme.

I agree with Morgana on a bit of the detail - some areas seemed a bit empty, although if it's a thermo issue I can understand.... although, just because you're out of a certain thermo doesn't mean there isn't any decoration thermo or material edge thermo for a bit more detail.

Another thing that is more of a "stupid me" thing, but if it happened to me it may happen to someone else. When I got to the bottom of the first elevator, since the street below me was black I didn't know there was another forward layer to jump down to..... so I thought I was stuck in that little room. Maybe make the elevator lower all the way down so the player plane shifts automatically when walking left or right.

Nice theme, nice aesthetics and some great gameplay - 5 stars and a heart.

Nice level! I've actually seen every episode of Get Smart! XD

Anyway, great level. Nice clean visuals and stickering, although it was a bit too clean for me. It was a little on the short side, but still fun nonetheless. The part where you fell down the phonebooth and see the door open made me smile. Good job.

Your right it's changed

Yes I totally wanted to continue but the thermo wasn't haven't it Thank you for your comments, Stars and Heart!

Yes I did run out of thermo but I am still using stickers where I can to add a little detail to the right side/Soak Building. It wont let me add anything else at this point.

Your experience is noted and I have used your suggestion and now you exit onto the street. Thank you for your comments, stars, and heart!

It is a bit short but detail can sometime do that to a thermo.

Thank you for the play, comments and stars. I will play your level and comment tonight.

Wow! your level is perfect, from the beginning to the end I have spent great, all the details you had to recreate the staff are very good, doors, paths, mazes and puzzles all very good, and really is pretty entertaining beam achieved an excellent design in the management of stickers, mechanisms and decoration.

Hello AJnKnox-

I'll review this level as I play. First off, I like the visuals, nice use of The Incredibles pack stickers (and a few custom ones). I like the cheif at the beginning, he looked cool. It was a lot of fun walking through the city. The test area with the jumpers was fun, and the area with the maze like platforming was tough but fair. All of of the characters, were in fact, really neat looking. The part where you called in the jumpers was really cool. Flying the helicopter was very satisfying to me for some reason. I didn't encounter any problems. Overall, this was an interesting level.

I rated it :star::star::star::star::star: and gave the level one <3.

Thank you for your: Comments, Stars & Heart! Glad you liked it and didnt have any problems.

*I am curious if anyone has managed to 'Open' the vault, and did you do it by looking for the answers or did you just enter parts randomly and hope!?*


Stats as of this morning: 5 days, Page 4 of cool pages, 71 Completes, 71 hearts (I think) Over 1400 plays!

I can tell that Ajn was a bit out of his comfort zone working on this level,
but I think it was worth the efford.

I remember him asking me about the layer glitch, but it seems he never used it
Nontheless I do like how he scaped the city, Personally I would have dirtied it up a tad, but thats a personal preference.

I never heard of agent sackwell smart or the series this level is based on,
but it felt tight and never was sucked out of it by weird or bad gameplay choices.
I really liked the jetpack maze, trying to go trough it as fast as I can, often killing me in the process but fun nontheless.

the jumppads felt a little random and therefore a little frustrating, but not in such a degree that I instantly wanted to quit the level (maybe some small edges on the side?)
Though the jumppads that where in the city itself worked quite fine.

Little secret spots here and there, some unexpecting moments, all in all it was a nice level.

I hearted it and gave it 5 stars.

good work ajn

Hey, just finished your level.
Really liked this one. The visuals were great, especially the "secret screen" apealed to me for some reason
Going down the phone booth really made me laugh.
The testing area was a bit tough at certain points, but luckily there were enough checkpoints in good places to keep me going.
Really cool how you completely used the city to cross multiple times without it getting boring at all.
I did have some issues with the helicopter though, just couldn't get the poor thing to fly straight or stay upright. But this might be more of a problem comming from me then from the helicopter I think
The Kaos character design was really cute, well done
Lastly, I have to admit I opened the vault with 2 random guesses, was to lazy to backtrack to check it out...

5:star: and a <3 from me, can't wait for the sequel!

If you got time could you leave feedback on my F4F level in my sig? thanks.

Nice "Get Smart" inspired level. I liked the architectural design of the buildings and the training area is a blast. The Helicopter ride is awesome too but could use a bit more maneuver. I liked a lot of "Get Smart" moments in this level including an cracked up phone booth elevator which I hilariously remembered in the old sitcom and liked the machinery designs too which looked amazingly retro. The level however could use more description on where to go next cause I'm not sure which building I suppose to go. I came in second place in the scoreboard too [at least for now]. Excellent level. 5:star: and <3

Play my new level "The Hero Chronicles LV1 Magical Forest" and give me feedback if you have time.
