Hope you like it .

Wow, I loved the somnium and I'll definitely try this out right now and if not now tonight

Edit: I played it and here's what I thought.

Just like in the somnium, you did a brilliant job with visuals, they're fantastic and of course the gameplay rocked and I loved coming back to the depths of imagination. The boss battles were awesome although both of them took a while to defeat the first time playing it. When playing again, the first one doesn't feel as long but the second boss still seems kinda long to defeat. I loved how you had three different areas and I loved going down into the caves even though there wasn't much gameplay there which made me a little sad. Overall, the gameplay was pretty good, the visuals were outstanding and the boss battles were awesome even though they took a while. I gave it :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3. I'll make sure to mention this on my blog soon, especially since the somnium was the first level I ever mentioned on the blog

Edit 2: It's on my blog Also, creator <3

Edit 3: I played it again to show my brother but when I get the cube on the other side and get up and swing to the right and how everyhting dissapears and there's poisonous gas on the floor, I accidentally fell to the right which activated a checkpoint down there in the gas so I kept re-spawning and dying making it impossible to beat so I'd somehow de-emit, crush or make the checkpoint fall far away when you get up or something. Still a lot of fun though.

I have fixed it ,i m really sorry since while testing it happened to me ones, i never fixed it(i never encounter it again, or i simply forgot about it ).
I have also tweak the boss fights a little ,giving them less hp,making it more about skill .

Amazing level.

It paints a beautiful picture visually and also gives a rather bleak, philosophical view on humanity(or at least that's how I interpreted it).

The hints were done in a non-intrusive way which was awesome, and the push-pull blocks later on in the level were a really fun and unique gameplay element

5 stars and heart.

The lighting looks great it feels kinda mysterious I liked how you had the end of the last level at the start. The bosses where very tough well designed but I died a lot taking them down the blue ray on the second boss seems almost unavoidable as it tracks you i'd never have beat it without infinite lives I gave it 4 :star: it would have been 5 but it does get frustrating everything else about it is top quality though.2010-08-27 14:58:00

This level is amazing. I loved the visuals, the way you present the story, platforming, music choice, lighting, and of course the bosses were awesome. One of the best levels I've played on lbp, five stars and a heart.2010-08-27 15:52:00

Hi ,im glad you like it.Unfortunately i can see your abilities in LBP ,and pattern recognition are not that good ,but im here to give you ,an advice ,a tip form the creator (cheat) so you can beat those bosses with your eyes close (well not really)and make your experience far more enjoyable,here they are:

The first boss is really easy,it is a layer attack/area monster ,just start by shooting his left arm then proceed to the center ,and conclude with the right arm ,just be careful because the pattern is middle layer ,front layer, area attack (which can be easily evaded by running to the checkpoint ,or destroy with the paintinator),and back layer .
The last boss i a little trickier but if you know the pattern and are good on lbp it becomes a good challenge.It is ,what i like too call, a move monster ,the pattern are low attack ,just time your jump , the second and the trickier for you is that blue beam ,dont jump just run form side to side ,and the last attack is really easy just move to the other layer but dont forget to shoot .

Well thats all for me now im glad you played it ,and i really hope this tips are useful.

Wow, what a level! Played through the first one and this one and they are both beautiful!

Fantastic lighting, beautiful 3-D, and extraordinary boss-fights.

One concern I ran into was the camera angles when I was doing the bit with the tilting rectangle, sliding the block back and forth inside it. They seemed to be fighting each other. Not a gamebreaker, by any means, though.

Absolutely breathtaking stuff!

the blue ray on the second boss seems almost unavoidable as it tracks you i'd never have beat it without infinite lives

Yeah, I had that problem too at first. My strategy is when it's about to come get to the edge to the left and when the blue ray comes run to the right. As it chases you it will wear down and then you can go back to the left. After trying it a couple times it'll be much easier

Wow, I loved the visuals in this level!

You've really managed to make it feel like walking through an alien world. The bosses were very cool, and the difficulty on them seems fair. The second boss is much easier than the first one, but that's only after learning how to deal with its attacks.

I had a bit of trouble with the Sackboy magnets. They're a very interesting and cool device, but it seems I could never control how high they would send Sackboy flying up, so I ended up killed by gas in the sky a lot. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong though.

Here is a video of the level:

Amazing work, I've given it :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3.

This is a truly 5 star level. The visuals and the amount of detail is excellent, the use of the 3D glitch is excellent, the lovely tips by lightning are excellent, the first boss and especially it's death is excellent, the inverted gravity pillars are excellent, the second boss is excellent...

Should there be something to complain about, there WAS a few camera angles that made jumping a bit harder.

i played this yesterday with gilgamesh. i love the background work, and the idea. some very cool looking stuff. the design felt really old school, almost like an OCK level (an old friend of mine), and it felt like one of those really good levels from back when people were still trying really fresh, new ideas and things just seemed more fun and unique. good stuff, man.2010-08-31 00:35:00

Wow Maxjeager this is as perfect as your other brilliant level "The Somnium". I actually didn't know you published this sequel to that level until I saw it in the recent community spotlight episode and I forgot your LBPC name. You should have titled this level "The Somnium 2" so that I'll instantly play it but this level's title is even better so it's fine the way it is. The visuals looked artistically massive and beautiful as the level has the best layer glitch I've ever seen since the previous one because of the details of the planets and moons and some silhouette ruins and the platforming is a top notch. The bossed looked amazing and fun to go against and their attacks are smashing. I would like to see you make another one as brilliant as this one and "The Somnium". Overall I loved this level so much I wish I could give this level 1000 stars but instead it's a perfect 5 :star:s in LBP and a big fat <3. The best level I've ever played since your previous one.2010-09-06 17:42:00

Thank You so much Justin your comment really means a lot to me ,you and all the other awesome people have encouraged me to try creating one last level before LBP2.
Im glad you like it
