In Search of Treasure - Skull Rock

In Search of Treasure - Skull RockBlahYourHamster
A prettyful level involving plenty of dragging and mild peril.
This is the second level in the series! (Yes, it's a series)

A level based on dragging treasure through some clever obstacles topped with some epic visuals, enough to make any sackboy groan!

Another BlahYourHamster level that will impress me. I can't wait to play it!
I'll be back with comments

EDIT: How come people aren't looking at this level, it's the most amazing piratey level I've seen (probably EVAR)
My bro walked by and asked: "Is this a Mm level?" It really felt creative and the mechanic was neat!
I really enjoyed the parts where you have to let go your treasure to open doors and using buoyancy to unlock doors and stuff.

The lightning was impressive, storyline made me laugh and the music was... well, epic!
Overall, an excellent level with astounding Mm details that make it even more enjoyable!
Loved it from Arghh to Yarr! :arg:
:star::star::star::star::star: if I could I'd give an extra :star: but I <3 it instead

I don't know if you do F4F but I'd appreciate a simple visit to my "Ages of Life" thread... 		2010-05-23 03:49:00

Crikey!, Thanks Chuck!

I've really impressed myself creating this level, I think i've finally found my 'style' if that's what you want to call it,

Was great fun creating all the epic visuals as well as thinking of some fancy obstacles. I'm surprised I managed to keep the thermo at bay considering all the lights, and scenery I used.

I'm really glad you loved it, and I will definately check out your level as soon as I can!

I played this about 4 days ago,
Looked for the thread but couldnt find it

I expected a level where I needed to look for treasure,
I was quite surprised that I got the booty at the start of the level and had to take it with me.
The gameplay involving this wasnt hard, but very entertaining.
I think I only died once near the beginning with the raising/lowering spikemine-like thingies.
not much people use the "collect bubble, wire dissapears, something happens" idea, and it has been well implemented.

visually your levels are strong, and the lighting was very good though sometimes dull.
The overall level feels somewhat blue-greenish and yellow.
I would really suggest to add a red/reddish light at a few small area's to spice up some contrast/depth in the rooms,
Be carefull though red/reddish light should (in this case) only beeing used sparingly and only to enhance some area's.
also you could really spice up the level and use a very slow pulsating blue/yellow light effect (speedswitch with slow piston) that would give the level just that little more the feel of being underwater.

I gave it 5 stars, forgot if I hearted if or not.. Will check that next time I am online 		2010-05-25 12:52:00

Loved this level, the mechanics were original and smart and the fact that you had to carry the chest through the whole level was just awesome 2010-05-25 19:17:00

Bump, feedback pleeeaassee!

OK.

Hello-

First off, the level badge looks really cool. It was cool that you had to drag the treasure along with you throughout the level, like luos_desruc, I thought that I would be looking for some. Visuals were awesome in this level, especially the lighting. There wasn't anything that I found wrong about the level.


I rated it :star::star::star::star::star:.		2010-05-31 03:50:00

Wow, I really enjoyed this level, not anything I can criticize, I liked how you had us depending on bubbles because back in the pirate days they didn't have scuba gear, I'm not sure if this was intentional though. I rated it 5 stars. All in all, Great level.2010-05-31 07:17:00

Hm. I'm not sure what to think. It's very apparent that the first few puzzles were straight copied from Cap'n Sackbeard's Booty.

Hey I remember this level it was cool and here is what i think about the level. This level is incredible I love the traps and the fact that the level is under water makes it even better. The gameplay and puzzle were fantastic the visual was breathtaking and the originality is everything I imagine it wound be.

here is the overall score.

Originality: :star::star::star::star::star:
Platform: :star::star::star::star::star:
Gameplay/puzzle: :star::star::star::star::star:
Visualization: :star::star::star::star::star:
Music: :star::star::star::star::star:

I gave this level a :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3 I hope you can make another one it was fantastic.

Also here is the video of your level
