Good Point *Spotlighted*

Good PointGlass_of_Win
Avoid spikes and other hazards in this platformer.
Hey guys, I recently got a PSP and LBP and this is my first PSP level. It is not too long, and has pretty basic gameplay.
Unfortunately, although this may just be my PSP, collecting some of the point bubbles in this level causes a bunch of lag. Hopefully you will still enjoy it, and try to give feedback as if it wasn't so laggy.

Hey Nuffles!,

You should really put in your PSN. I just played your level and it was great! It had that VelcroJonze feel to it

You did a great job with the layers and material. The platforming is great, stuff you'll see from VJ's levels with your own taste. When I first saw the balloon, it felt awkward, but I saw the "point". That was a good "balloon to spike" in-game joke. The bubble combos were great and I didn't really mind the lag it put out. For your first PSP level, this is fantastic! There is one thing I want to point out, the beginning of the race. It is extremely hard, that I had to use my platforming tricks to get past it. I definitely thing you should republish with a bit slower speed on the pistons. Anyways, I'll give you 5 stars and a heart.

Awesome level Nuffles!!

Too bad I never finished it.

I was very much enjoying your level until the race. Then I proceeded to get crushed maybe twenty times in a row. Your crushers are too fast. I made it through one time but it was because I jumped right before death, and some how managed to escape between two of your crushers, then I got spiked landing on the next platform, and I tried to get through again, but never made it through.

I would have hearted this level for sure, and I still might, if I ever finish it.

I did it by jumping ahead of the crushers How you ask? I jumped from the front layer and landed back on the back layer, just ahead of the crushers.		2010-07-11 05:50:00

Two of the crushers don't fully extend, allowing you to stop underneath them without dying. I guess it is hard to tell. I might update so they extend even less.2010-07-11 21:48:00

Hey there Nuffles!
Thanks for playing my level and leaving feedback - I have also done the same for you so here we are:

You said you had a problem with lag and I kinda felt it at the first half, but the second half wasn't too bad. Overall the challenge was good, lots of points to be found and some excellent challenges. I very much enjoyed the visuals, simple stuff but also some great sticker usage. I had trouble on the crusher things until I realised the trick, so that was nicely done - really needed some looking and thinking.

A good race, lots of points and some nice hidden/hard to get to stuff worth finding.

Hey Nuffles, I want to apologize if my original post came off a bit harsh, it was not my intent. The first time I played your level at the race, I guess I got so excited at the race segment, I did not notice the two crushers not fully extended. I am an excitable boy, so please don't hold that against me. I have since finished your level, and proceeded to rate it five stars and I also hearted it so, yes.... I love your level. Wow!!! The bubble chains are incredible in this level, I have probably played this level for thirty minutes today, and it has not got old yet. Your level designs are excellent, the whole level just flows really nice, except for the lag in some spots. Can I ask, do you use a player proximity sensor switch on your emitted objects, the fire balls, and the balloons? That might help your lag, if you have not already. The emitted fire is sure to cause a strain on the level if it runs the whole time. It might be the enormous amount of score bubbles too. I am not complaining because every combo is a joy in this level. There are a couple spots where you have a pile of bubbles, that might contribute too. But, those secret areas rock, so you hate to not give a reward. I have started to put some bubble emitters attached to grab switches in my levels when I want to give a nice reward in a hidden spot. I actually got the idea from sha-ja's levels.

Anyway, great level!!!

Hiya-

I just got done playing your level and I'm impressed! You've done a wonderful job here, I like how you have the whole VelcroJonze platforming thing going on (but that's a good thing, because VelcroJonze is awesome ). The corner editing was spot on, and the material choice was very well thought out. The only thing that I think could be a major problem is the crushers area in the race, I was totally confused, but after I died around four times, I eventually figured out to stop under the two crushers that don't fully extend, but I can see a lot of players getting confused and leaving the level. Oher than that, you've done very well, great job dude!

I rated the level :star::star::star::star::star: and <3ed the level.		2010-07-14 00:57:00

Hey man! You did a great job with this level! The corner editing is great and I thought that the gameplay was pretty darn fun. The only problem that I really had was the race. After about 10 deaths I finally realized that two of the crushers didn't extend all the way. So it took me a little while to figure that out. Other than that, the level was great fun!

Keep up the good work man!

Here are several pictures for you:

I just played your level!

First off, I thank you for taking a look at my level. Now, I return the favour

FEEDBACK!
First Impression: Very fun, nice length! I enjoyed the whole thing through and through.

Issues brought up earlier in the topic:
-Lag: Yes, there was some lag. It wasn't enough to make me throw my PSP at a wall, but it was very noticeable. I suspect it came from both the balloon and the falling fire logs. My fix, based on what I've heard is to maybe put a proxy switch that would activate the events that spawned objects?

-The race: I am one of the few that didn't actually have any issues with the pistons. First try through the pistons, only to jump and land on the spikes in the middle of that first platform. That was what got me.

-Rolling Logs: Even though only one person brought it up, I thought I'd mention it here. I myself had no issues with the log, but I can see how some people would get stuck there.

Things I would like to point out:
-Score Bubbles: Like VelcroJonze pointed out, there are amazing score combos just waiting to be picked up here. I couldn't get any really large combos,just some smaller-ish ones; I'm not quite good enough to do pull off absurdly large combos.

-Race length: I enjoyed the race, but I felt I finished with way too much time left. I'm not sure if that's just me or not, but perhaps add a touch of length to the race, or shorten the time? Also, I thought I'd like to point out that I thought that there would be a spike wall waiting for the unsuspecting player that came off the grab ramp thing too fast, but alas, my hopes/fears were unrewarded. I don't know if you thought of that

Final conclusion:
After playing the level, and typing up this feedback, I must say this, as it cannot be said enough: Great job! The level is very fun, very replayable, and is difficult, without being too difficult. The length of the level as a whole is rather nice, I could pick it up and finish it within a reasonable time.

Score: :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3 .

I look forward to playing more levels of yours on the PSP!
