Aimlessly GazingDraden6436
This is easily my best level of all, you will play an addictive platformer that tells the story without words. It looks as nice as anything and will last long in your memory if not become an all time favourite of yours. Please play this level as it certainly won't disappoint.
Aimlessly Gazing
Okay, I'd like to start off by saying, this is in my opinion by far my most sleek, professional and greatest platforming game. I have developed as a creator for 2 and a half years and this is Draden's big farewell to LBP1.
Admittedly I have changed my style quite a lot but the level oozes obstacles and platforming in a classic Draden style.
I have dropped a storyline in this level because I am also trying to change the tempo of my levels and make them much quicker. I have taken another risk in that I have kept a boss at the end of the game and I hope that you will love it, I know I'm not the greatest at bosses but I'm improving and thought that I needed to keep 1 to help the level tell the story rather than the magic mouths.
I have had a small beta and so far its got 5 stars every time and the tags are brilliant, beautiful and machinery so far (in case anyone believes in tags )
I will put pictures up soon but I'm gonna leave on this statement,

This level was a well put platformer
Negatives:
- I got on top of your level above 1st checkpoint
- Instead of crossin the bridge you can walk behind the waterfall
- Also the elevator at the end you should have a door that opens & closes so people dont jump out like i did and didnt die from anything.

Sugguestions:
-You should try blocking the area above checkpoint so nobody can get up there.
-Add doors to elevator at end

Still got 4 stars tho

Cheers dude for actually taking the time to write a response,
okay, I didn't even think I'd need to block off that first area but if you play the game the way it should be played then no-one will even bother going that way (but I know what point you're trying to make).
Going behind the waterfall is encouraged with score bubbles so that's not a problem.
But I do agree with you on the lift its just the thermo literally wouldn't give it to me however you do get killed by gas.
I think 4 stars is a harsh judgment but if fixing the lift will make it 5 then I'm off now

Na sorry you took it wrong way i didnt give you a 4 stars because of the part that I jumped behind you level. It was a mistake first of all when I jumped back there and I didnt rate it a 5 because i didnt think it was a 5 stars i thought it was a 4 stars level so dont take my response to the head and think its harsh im just givin you feedback of what I had (ACCIDENTLY) did in your level ok be happy you at least got a 4 stars from me and I wasnt those types of people who just give you a poor rating over little things2010-07-14 10:43:00

Ohhhhhh fair does lol.
Either way I've just fixed the level the way you suggested.
I know that style of level isn't everyones cuppa tea but I'm just glad that its 5 stars so if anyone rates it any lower I need to find out ways to improve it like.
Made the boss a bit more instant as well.
Thanks again for your time, I know from experience that getting a review on central is like looking for a needle in a haystack

I played it last night and first of all I loved the scenery, the gameplay, but the boss could've been a little harder but it was still unique. It looked part wolf, part bat, part unicorn if you ask me. Overall, you are a great creator and you did a great job with this level. 4
stars

Thanks both, unfortunately these 4 stars have caught up with me
Maybe I just shouldn't advertise my next one lol.
I suppose with the new features of LBP 2 a newer version of that level should be able to hit 5 hopefully.
It hurts that all of my levels are 4 stars, feels like a kick in the teeth so fingers crossed for my next one

my levels that i thought shoulda been 4 stars or something went down to 3 stars because
some people couldn't finish which i think is bull but o well it happens I guess you can try them out if you like
then post them on my wall what you thought of them but yup hopefully your next one is successful even tho 4 stars is successful in my book

Doesn't anyone think that it's a bit of a coincidence that this guy was created around the same time as this thread and that he has never posted anything on LBPC other than these two posts?

Ok just played it. As I told you in the beta, very awesome level. You have the styling down just right, with a good mix of gameplay, one of my favorite bits was the teleporting section, a very original concept! (BTW one or maybe more of the buttons in that section are not glued down)
Its a great level but when I got to the boss I was like "this is the same level!?!" It didn't really fit, maybe try changing some of the materials in the boss section so they are the same as the rest, also make the lighting the same.

Very good level, 5 stars and a heart!

Oh and because of what someone said I remembered that the elevator went to fast for me and I ended up on top of it on my way down. lol.

I know from another forum that they aren't the same person, don't worry.

Thanks again dude.
I'm resigned to this being 4 stars now but I'm making baby steps towards 5.
I think

Cool level! Theres some very innovative gameplay in there (as well as a couple of things borrowed from Mm levels) Overall, I gave it four stars; it was a good platformer.2010-07-16 15:53:00

Lol cheers Chimp.
If only your site was holding a platformers comp (sigh)
That little mm combo wasn't taken directly from them I rebuilt them just to custom fit. I'd like to think mine are better looking as well
