Whoaw, looks really promising, I'm loving the concept already! I'm off to play..

EDIT. Really interesting and fun level there. The gameplay was really great and new, and boy do I love new gameplay! I did think some of the puzzels was a bit too much "grab that switch,then that switch=door open" in many cases. They kinda felt like fillers if you ask me. But it was only 3 or 4 puzzels or so that felt liek that so it didn't hurt my expereience too much.

The scenery could use some work if oy ask me. Sure it was detailed with stickers and decorations, but I think you could've used more than one layer. It felt a bit flat. If you're worried about the player changing layer while playing, then you could've just popped in a bit theck-gas, preventing the player from changing layer. If my brain is right that gas is invisible too so it's really handy.

Also, some puzzels where you would have actually been forced to THINK would not have hurt if you ask me. Oh well!

I think that's it. Overall a fun and great level. I really enjoyed playing through it (and getting on second place! )		2010-08-01 14:45:00

Great map! Brilliantly put together with some fiendishly difficult but ingenious puzzles. Gave it 5 starts and a heart (to you and level)2010-08-01 16:50:00

But it was only 3 or 4 puzzels or so that felt liek that so it didn't hurt my expereience too much.

One of my big problems. I'm always worrying about the puzzles. I didn't want to make it too hard, but didn't want to make it too easy, either. As it was a new gameplay idea by me, I thought I should start with a easy/medium level. So for experienced players it may feel a bit like "fillers".

If my brain is right that gas is invisible too so it's really handy.

Yeah, indeed. I tried to start with 3 layers...but at least it was a bit tricky for me, so I chose 1 layer for starting. But of course 3 layers would open much more possibilities for puzzles and more. The next level including this gameplay will probably use 3 layers. (;

Also, some puzzels where you would have actually been forced to THINK would not have hurt if you ask me. Oh well!

Completely right! It was a new thing for me, too! These puzzles are now "basics" for me, so I hope I can build a second part with much more and bigger puzzles for THINKING. :'D Wish me good luck!

I think that's it. Overall a fun and great level. I really enjoyed playing through it (and getting on second place! )

Thanks a lot! (:

I played this the other night and thoroughly enjoyed it! The visuals aren't amazing, but with gameplay this good it doesn't really need it. I've seen this gameplay mechanic used in levels before, but I've never played a level that uses it all throughout the level.

Thanks for a great level, Red! :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3		2010-08-03 21:25:00

I've always wanted to see this mechanic explored, actually, but I don't have the patience to put out a full level myself and you've gone and done better than I could've anyway. Very fun, very clever. Some bits were a little frustrating (the part where the jetpacks pop in and out of the ceiling comes to mind) but overall it was a good experience.2010-08-03 22:18:00

I liked this level a lot! Brilliant idea, and quite awesome visuals, the level was pretty hard at some places though.

I always find your levels innovative and amusing, and this was no exception. A play mechanic rarely seen on the face of LittleBigPlanet, and you manage to turn it into a level. Although I do agree with Mnniska when saying it was mostly just launch and grab, I did see some other neat stuff like the bit where they're hooked on chains. Visually somewhat bland, but I was more focused on the gameplay.

I'm glad that my level is so enjoyable! The design is tricky for me. I'm not so good in the visual things..I think.		2010-08-04 12:52:00

I really like levels that start off with an ridiculous idea and then builds upon that idea to create an polished and fun level. This level is an perfect example of that. The level looked great and played great. The mechanic of propelling yourself using the jet pack to navigate jumps was genius. The level was also easy to navigate through, I'd never be in the situation where I didn't know where to go.

My only major complaint with your level is that the training sequence isn't very helpful. It doesn't really tell you what your meant to be doing, it would of helped if you had an speech bubble at least explaining the levels mechanic. Instead players have to guess what to do. Another annoying thing is that you can die in the training sequence, which defeats the purpose of an training sequence all together.

But I still really liked your level: :star::star::star::star: + <3

For F4F could you please play my latest level: 'Killzone - Assault on Helgan'		2010-08-04 15:44:00

I really made this because I was scared that nobody knows how its working...and I didn't want to spam the players with speechbubbles...don't know what I thought on that. I will change that like you said. Explaining the thing and that you can't die.

Very clever idea here. For some reason it reminds me of the bee and spider platforming sections in Donkey Kong Country 2, and similar things to that in other games.

This does have a lot of potential for more elaborate puzzles, but the platforming involved here is still pretty fun and entertaining. The visual style was simple but works perfectly for this level. Good amount of checkpoints and they're infinite so people getting adjusted to this should still be able to muster the confidence to finish the level.

I played the level, here's what I thought.
I think you do an awesome job using the stickers all over the level and just making it look very detailed. The level can get really challenging but it was still possible to beat, plus I love a challenging level and I also loved how you made a new way of playing and not only that, but this new way rocks and you still put in a ton of gameplay. Great job, I gave it :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3		2010-08-04 17:06:00

This was a fun level with gameplay I haven't run into before - I usually enjoy it when I stumble over that! I had fun, but I started to think if this could go on without making me bored.. luckily, you managed to pull it of great! I really liked your visuals as well, it looked good. I don't really have anything bad to say about this, actually. Still, I'm giving it :star::star::star::star: stars and a heart <3. I need to have a really great feeling about a level, something that blows my mind away before I give it 5 stars - often I can't put words on what the level needed, as it's hard.

Good job mate!! I enjoyed this!

For F4F, could you check out my level, Rainbow Rush? The link to my thread is in my sig It would be much appreciated, tell me if you have problems making it and it's 100 % fine!		2010-08-04 17:50:00

By far your best level so far Red, I played it with Rhys125 today. gameplay and originality of the level is fantastic although mechanics aren't origianal as i've seen them before the visual weren't ground breaking but it doesn't really matter with a level like this. the length of the level was was good.


It was really challenging and i had a laugh playing it.:star::star::star::star::star:<3		2010-08-04 18:47:00

very nice idea red! i was planning a similar idea but you have a corded jetpack in a grabbable ball that you can toss through gaps and pick up on the over side ect. If you want i would be greatfull to have another creative mind on it If you want PM me2010-08-04 22:02:00

WOW ...... just WOW.... this level is a very good proof that great concepts leads to great levels if the creator has the skills to make it right.

I am really impressed by this level: very nice visuals, a very unique style, great plattforming ideas based on usage of the jetpack-emitters (just have seen this one time before), nice difficult that is challenging at some places, pretty cool gameflow and at least: very entertaining. I had a good time during the play.

Congrats to a brilliant level! I will defenitely play it again. This one is without doubt a "cool level" :-)

I gave it with pleasure :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3

Great work dude!

btw: a little "con" (hehe): you force me to play it again due to the first sticker: I couldn't go back from the are where I picked it up, so I HAVE TO PLAY IT AGAIN... I noticed a race-finish at the end of the level that make me think that this first sticker will activate this race, right? i must play it again... i must play it again... i must play it again :-)		2010-08-05 05:48:00

This level was great and it's idea was first class! I decided to give it a 4 because even that it has awesome gameplay idea and great visuals it is still difficult and doesn't work out with many people. You should put player suggestion also so there won't be any nasty surprises. Good job! As feedback I thaught that could you possibly play my level the cellar?2010-08-05 11:42:00

Well, I told in the description of the level that the level is hard and that you should play alone (2 player maximum).. (;
I think I can your cellar play it tomorrow.. (;		2010-08-05 20:08:00

Now this level is something I have never seen in LBP at all. The level has a great use of Jetpack and the visuals are nicely decorated. You did an good job with the Jetpack and jetpack canceling tools as a new way of playing LBP and this level is well deserved with 5 stars and a heart.

I played this yesterday. Didn't even know it was posted on here til now. This level is lots of fun. very original gameplay. I loved how you built the puzzles. They make you think of what kind of angle of attack you want to take before you take off. Excellent level and no complaints here except wheres part 2? I already gave this 5 stars and a <3. Ill be definately playing this again.

If your up to doing f4f you could play my level Kinetic Crisis if you haven't already. This is optional but I would like your opinion on it 		2010-08-07 16:32:00

Hey man I just played your level and let me tell you it was challenging but incredible. The way you use the jet pack was challenging but it was really creative. I never played a level that uses the jetpack like that, the gameplay was challenging and the visualization was very nice. I really enjoy this level and every part about it if you can create a part 2 it wound be incredible.

Overall Score

Visualization: :star::star::star::star::star:
Gameplay/Puzzle: :star::star::star::star::star:
Originality: :star::star::star::star::star:
Music/Sound Affect: :star::star::star::star::star:

I gave this level a :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3

Also can you F4F my level please here is the link to my level thread.

Thats easy:
Jumping down is senseless. You have to go forward to the next jetpack, then fly backwards so you can fget down to the pricebubble.

@All: Thanks for the nice feedback! (:		2010-08-07 18:30:00

Played this before spotlight, but forgot to leave a comment. So here it is.

I have seen this gimmick before, but you managed to make it into a whole level without it getting repetitive. So kudos for that.
But the thing I was most impressed with was your unique visuals. They were a bit of this combined with a bit of that, plus a bit of you no doubt. Quite interesting. 		2010-08-09 11:57:00

I'd love to play your level, but I can't get past the first room... I get to the orange triangle, grab it, and nothing happens. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I figure in the off-case that it's actually broken, you should know.2010-08-28 04:23:00

Yup, I was in there with Ryhas and we were both pretty baffled. There was a lot of lag at the time, but Ryhas said he'd been in there before. Don't know if it's broken or if we're both just incredibly thick.

I got so frustrated, I started stickering everything relentlessly. Then we lost connection.

Sorry 'bout that, Ry.		2010-08-28 05:34:00
