Life or Death by Ben7229

Life or DeathBen7229
A new level by my son - pretty funny, you'll enjoy it!
Synopsis by my son:

"You go into a Hotel, not noticing that it's scary. You go into your room and find a key that leads you to...... who knows where?????"

Keep in mind, he's only 8. I'm willing to do some F4F on this if some people want to give it a play.

Enjoy!

"You go into a Hotel, not noticing that it's scary."

With a set-up that brilliant, how could I not play this?!

Heh.... exactly. It's VERY short - probably take most people about a minute or so to complete.2010-09-02 19:50:00

This level was pretty fun! The dialogue was funny with the random scream of 'Nooooooo!' and the part where someone says `i hope you dont have a good time'. I like his sticker work on the key room. Those rooms were abstract which I like (the orange and white area with splotted black splats). The platforming was solid so no problems there. 1 potential problem could be the key part. He might want to swap the mag key with the mag switch and emit the key. It was kinda hard getting it down as you have to get it through the debri and squeeze it through. Maybe make the passage wider. Also add some score bubbles please Itll add to the replayability. Rated it 5 stars and a funky tag. (this level is better than the rating it has) I can tell hes going to be an excellent creator in the future if he keeps at it. If you have time could you feedback my Umbra Valley: A Lost Soul level? The link is in my sig.2010-09-02 20:11:00

Actual title is "death or life", which I like better.
Reverse psychology eh? *enters*
Very nice abstact painting.

Decent level for an 8 year old. I was most impressed with the 45 degree angle cut out from the roof (at the start of the stairs) which enables you to easily jump up onto the first step.
My biggest suggestion would be add bubbles and add more to the level. Played his other levels, they would benefit from the same thing.

This was very nice of you to put up your son's level thread for him, CCubbage.

This was a fun level, and it's great for an 8 year old. One of my favorite parts would have to be the end scoreboard, he did a great job decorating that. I'd say that he's becoming a great creator, just like his father! I rated the level :star::star::star::star::star:, which bumped the overall rating up to :star::star::star:.

A fun level and a very impressive one for an 8 year old. I loved the stickering of the hotel rooms - that orange and black almost leopard skin look was very funky and I liked the black and white stickering on the top level too - the beetle was a nice touch. Oh, and I lol'd at the sticker guy on the floor trying to warn visitors not to go in!

Some good traps in the level. Those falling spikes were nicely timed - I got complacent and got squished for my pains.

Cool choice of music - gave a nice sense of drama.

Suggestions: It was a little awkward getting the key through the hole in the floor so maybe make that a little bigger. Some of the spikes on the right hand side of the wall at the top have come unglued (unless that was deliberate in which case ignore me!). Maybe add a couple more things to do or obstacles on the top of the level.

I think your son has a good eye for visuals and overall the level had a cool quirkiness to it. Great job!

I gave it 4 :star::star::star::star:.

Awesome! Thanks for all the feedback. I'll have him read it and make some adjustments the next time he's on lbp. He's gonna be tickled by the feedback.2010-09-03 04:55:00

Well, I played this morning and I gotta say, you're full of bull CC! This amazing level is clearly one of your own creations and not the work of an 8 year old child!

Great spooky atmosphere in the hotel there. I nearly wet myself when I heard that horrible scream. Noooooooooooo! It still haunts my dreams, even though I haven't been to sleep yet. Also, how did you glitch those candles so they didn't singe my butt when I sat on the flame?

If I were to suggest any improvements, it would be to block the player from dragging the key too far the wrong way and getting it stuck in the garden area. Also, some of the spikes on the rooftop need gluing down. Aside from that, I've no complaints.

A short but fun level which I gave :star::star::star::star::star:<3 because...um...well, just because!
