+ awesome level badge!
+ First dinos. Would be cool if there was a bit of meat hanging from a rex's mouth.

I kinda stopped taking notes there. I got distracted by the awesome. I'm a sucker for dinosaurs.

The only problem I had was clarity on one of the first rock climbs. All of the rock was the same material so it was a little hard to see the layers. The other rock faces were good because you had the barnacle decorations and other materials.

I don't see why everyone uses that pointy grass sticker with the black outlines. Why not make your own?

Nice chase and twist at end too.

I really dig this level, I love the story of it and the Aesthetic of the level too. It really feels like your in prehistoric times, rather than some level with dinosaurs in it. I loved mostly everything in you level but the chase sequence at the end really stood out, I also liked the way you put your scoreboard at the end of the level.

I only had an few problems, but my main one is the part just before the chase where you have to climb across the pit of gas without getting eaten by the dinosaurs, It is brutally hard. The Dinosaurs are like 'heat-seeking' missiles that would always get me. You had to keep tapping 'R1' to get across and if you messed up the pattern then you'd fall and had to start again. I honestly almost quit your level it took me so long to do, I'm glad I didn't though because the chase at the end is definitely something spectacular. Most people might not have the same amount of patience as me and may just end up quitting if the find the sequence too hard. Which would be disappointing since they'd miss out on the great ending. If I were you, I'd at least put an checkpoint in the middle of the two climbing rocks. So if you do fall on the second rock, you don't have to do the first one all over again. I also felt that the part were you had to move the boulder in the water so the platform would fall into place didn't make any sense at all.

Overall I thought your level was excellent but I feel unless you don't fix the problem I listed before, the majority of players will give up on your level and end up missing the end sequence.

Oh could you please play 'Killzone - Assault on Helgan' for F4F

LOL you should have seen me when I was trying to get footage for the video. I swear I did that part so many times. I had 81 MB of FAIL. I should make a blooper real with just that. I ended up using footage of one of the fails because it fit better. Personally I like that section how it is. Anyone that sticks with it till they figure it out will have honed that skill to perfection.

Awesome level. The level has great dinosaur designs, jungle atmosphere, gameplay, and stickering. My favorite part of the level is the T-Rex chasing you because the volcano background looks outstanding and the running obstacles are phenomenal. Great job. 5 stars and a heart.

Play and F4F "The Hero Chronicles LV5 Glacier Volcano"

Well congratulations on the views ... and lookie here, cool pages bound!

So, here's my tally like it or not.

The Really Really Good
You are one of the most talented creators we got around here. You are very multi-faceted and good at so much... Nice layouts and designs, incredible implementation of said designs. and good at lighting your creations. I four starred this level because it emotionally scarred me... The dinosaurs are simply the best I've seen to date... but I could not get by the leaping lizards! I tried for so long I was late for work... The worst part is the section is not hard. Everyone and their dead Godmother understands what to do, the pattern is easily identifiable. It's just that the raptors in the mist are mean. I guess I now have further understanding of what people have been telling me for over a year....

It looks incredible. I want to see more... but I can't and I knew I was close to the end,

As an aside you are the o-k-i-n-g-0 of incremental bolts man!! ...the way you get things to move... is simply awesome. I hope you understand I liked this level... just didn't find it completeable. I was also worried about uniqueness, It might be me, but running across dinosaurs backs, the photo-op, the nest, the log slide all felt very familiar to me. I am very sorry I couldn't reach the chase... it sounds like it must be seen to be appreciated.

Great level-sorry for the silver sack head!

I played the level, here's what I thought.

I think you did a fantastic job with the dinosaurs, especially with the ones you did at the beginning. I think that made a great intro. The level was kinda short, but still fun. The visuals were good plus I liked the dinosaur chase. I hope there's a part 2. I gave it :star::star::star::star::star:

Wow think for all the epic feed back guys and gals.There will be a second one as soon as i get a chance to create it, busy with alot of other things right now. May stick with the dino theme for the next one due to the way the first ended, but hope to hit a few time periods as I go along.2010-08-10 08:00:00

Wow! Terrific level!

The dinosaurs look fantastic! Love the T-Rexes... as well as jumping across the brachiosaurs' heads.

The backgrounds look great too, and the platforming action is well put together!

The raptors got a little infuriating, but infinite checkpoints saved the day.

The chase at the end was epic!

I can see why this level got a Spotlight, and I'm glad I looked it up!
:star::star::star::star::star: and a <3!

If you're still doing them, I'd love an F4F on Invasion of the Sack Men From Space!
