They Attack!!!spyre-wolf
based on campy 50's scifi alien B movies
Hi all, Just like to announce my newest level, it's already being thumbed down by the masses,(all my levels do) - its a homage to the 50's scifi alien flicks of old, the level itself contains, some puzzles and some down right unfair platforming, annoying enemies and a boss fight at the end. -i have an evil streak i really love make levels that will get the player blood pressure to rise, - so generally my levels usually are only completed by people who can A. solve the tricky puzzles, B. stand the platforming, C can beat the end boss, i think only 3 people beat my Greeblies levels, - anyhow if you're up for a challenge i've laid it on the table. - i'd like to get some feedback to see how unfair it really is, - just to let you know it is completable, and it is nowhere near as hard as the Greeblies was. i had to dumb down Greeblies because it was apparently too unfair. - so this might also fall victim to the same dumbing down. - please let me know which of your're levels you'd like F4F on, I'll try to respond as quickly as possible, also comments on my level would be appreciated

thanks again

Really liked the visual style of this one! The robot thing near the hotel is epic! Couple of issues with the lights getting stuck on the right side of the building you have to climb using the lights. One was nearly level breaking as the light was stuck on the floor above. Managed to have a friend jump using some of the small boxes we'd tossed below. Might want to rethink that section a bit so the level can't be broken there.

Loved the firey lighting in the city part the best!

I gave it 5 stars and hearted it. Can't wait to see more from you.

Hey I liked the level, seemingly much work went into the puzzles and visual style. However, I think what you really need to do is play test it more, find where things can go wrong and polish it up in that respect. For my example, in the hotel building the level broke b/c the little electric buggers fell in front of the infinite spawn, so I infinitely spawned into electric. Overall, I'd say great level, but needs polish on gameplay. 4/5 (let me know if you update it and I'll get back around to give it another go)

If you got time please try my "A Realm Forgotten" and leave a comment on my thread, Thanks!

Hi! sorry I'm here so late... Thought I had been here. I played your level what seems like weeks ago now (so many many levels released) --yours still stood apart in some really nice ways... Marvellous design and some really nice platforming elements... While most of the particulars of my plays are gone I remember loving the visuals and be challenged by the er... challenges. Not always in a good way though, I really had alot of 'stop and think' moments... honestly I don't remember if I could finish it... but still the point here is theres a lot of promise to it, work on creating a better flow between elements and you'll have a winner on your hands... don't stop now!2010-07-26 19:40:00

first up thanks for the responses guys - I assumed that this had dropped into obscurity, but the crits are all great so thank you so much. as like my previous level i think some of the puzzles and platforming are too fiendish for most players. - I'm gonna try be nicer in future levels ...promise.


. in the hotel building the level broke b/c the little electric buggers fell in front of the infinite spawn, so I infinitely spawned into electric. - yeah this happened to me once or twice - i'll take the spawn rate i think, that can be really annoying i may even just remove that obstacle all together. - sorry about that i hmm'd and haaa'd about that one for a while. - thanks for the crit. - i'll play your levels shortly sorry i didn't get back sooner have been caught up with real life. -just checked out the video of it i'm pumped to play this one that's an immediate heart for me with out even playing it...i'll get on it straight away!


Couple of issues with the lights getting stuck on the right side of the building you have to climb using the lights - thanks for the crits morgana, I'm Huge fan of you're levels so this means alot. - i never noticed the breaking issue until you mentioned it, i saw it when i went up just a moment ago. - so i'll put some elastic on the light to pull it down again i think. - thanks again.


While most of the particulars of my plays are gone I remember loving the visuals and be challenged by the er... challenges. Not always in a good way though,

LOL - YAY! ..and sorry! that is my evil streak, whilst i have no way of ever seeing people rage out at the challenges i know it is happening. - if you drop in the building which takes you back to the starting point you'll notice a LOL sticker, i put it there and can imagine people saying "CURSE YOU SPYRE!!" - as for the flow your completely right, i've really gotta work on my pacing. thanks for the comments i appreciate it.

well i really appreciate the comments guys, was expecting people to let this go, - i'll be sure to check your threads if any are applicaple i'll be sure to leave comments accordingly!

Im gonna go play this RIGHT NOW! While I'm doing that (since this is F4F) you should play my level "Mr. Pollock's Dream". Theres already a thread for it just a few down from here.


I got stuck at the point where you have to build the stair case out of boxes. Although i managed to do that, when i ran to the left, the bridge fell as its supposed, but then one electric/gas thingy rolled down to the end of it and made it impossible for me to get back on it.
