A lot of fun stuff in this level. I like the sponge-on-a-spring over the fire pit. People don't use springs much... I spent a good deal of time on the windmill-like thing trying to reach the top. Once I did there was nothing up there. I thought for sure that would be a secret. How'd I go thru a wall to find the first secret? Could you point me to a tutorial? I didn't get to play the 2-player parts; maybe this weekend. I love the idea of an optional race, but when the gate was lowered it broke the movable sponges I'd been messing with... One of the springboards broke at the high-jumping part. At least there were two... The secrets board wasn't labeled. I looked at it for a while thinking it was part of some puzzle... That was the only part taht didn't seem clear, though. I could easily discern all of the walking surfaces and stuff. Thanks for a fun level!

Nice level! Visually it was very good, like the canyons from the story mode but better. Gameplay wise it was also pretty good, lots of variety and original gameplay. A lot of areas were a bit chard to walk though, by which I mean you have to watch your step to make sure you stay on the right plane and stuff. Also the part with fiery logs rolling down the hill and the part where you ride on cows could both use infinite life checkpoints, I had to restart the level at the log part and got down to my last life on the cow part. I also liked the huge rolling ball at the end (very story mode-ish). 4 stars! Could you play my level Harry Potter Dueling Club? Link in my sig. Also you can use the albums on this forum to upload pictures, thats what I always do.

Looks pretty nice. I just have to see is this one of the ol' newbie wannabe spectacular canyon levels, or actually good and something very different.

- Some invisible gas at the bottom left (front layer) at the start. + Cool how the string of bubbles is moving like that. - On those same bouncy platforms, I shot up too high and saw some dissolve. - After the green rotating circle/button, why can't you push down/right the 2 smaller red cubes? - More invisible gas after the rotating fire wheels? (left of checkpoint) - Possibly add a sound effect fro button jump pad? Still a nice level, hearted. Loved the stickering.

Wow! Thanks everyone! I tried to make this level as easy as possible for younger players, while still providing a challenge for the older players. I wil see about adding in a few more infinite live checkpoints at the suggested areas.

okay, just played it! Loved it, much better than all those other canyon levels, nice gameplay and visuals! Just one thing, I wish the doors didn't go down with a piston, instead blow 'em up :hero: :star::star::star::star::star: <3

Wow +Stylish +perfect atmosphere +awesome colours choice +it got the MM factor, if somebody tell me that's from the official story mode,i believe him, really similar style! +good camera +great platforming +various and never boring +good level design +are stupid and simple, but i like a lot the little enemies! (the swinging heads) +i'm first in ranking and i've find neither 1 of the secrets,must replay NOW! -both the springs bumpers (the place where you must jump HIGH) stopped working after 4 or 5 jumps, and i need to restart. Btw at second try they worked perfectly Imho this is in the next spotlight, great work! For F4F try my Nights level,here is the thread https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=34950-Nights-into-Dreams

Wow! You really did a great job, I really see the improvements and add ons you added from the few times I entered it with you in create and play mode! I really don't have any suggestions, mainly because I can't do anything half as good, but I was wondering how you did the scoreboard at the end..... great level! 5 stars and to my hearted list this level goes! would you mind having feedback on my level 'The Pride Lands'? Thanks again!

Thanks again! Thanks clone! Love all the positive feedback Im getting off of this level! About your Scoreboard question, Klawwtheclown (prattz) Did the scoreboard glitch for me. I have no idea how he did it TBH. Contact him for the tutorial I guess. PS: I Updated the level with a secrets label near the secret meter area to prevent any further confusion. Also, I am going online really soon. Im going to add some more desired sound effects, infinite live checkpoints in some of the harder area of the level, and fix a few bugs that have been reported. Such as that gas glitch by the first secret area! HUGE thanks to those who have given me feedback so far, I would love to make my level as perfect as possible, so keep the feedback coming!

UPDATE: Fixed ALL random gas spots and added a bigger reward for finding all secrets and completeing the X2 area. EDIT: I played all of the F4F levels posted in this thread! Great levels, People!

Thanks clone! Love all the positive feedback Im getting off of this level! About your Scoreboard question, Klawwtheclown (prattz) Did the scoreboard glitch for me. I have no idea how he did it TBH. Contact him for the tutorial I guess. You just have to merge some thin material into the scoreboard screen. There's like, 5 different ways to do it. I just use the layer popping one, since it was the first one I found after the original way was patched in the water beta. 1. Take a baseless scoreboard, and bring it to the second layer from the front. 2. Press L1 + X 3. Place some polysterene in front of it, in the front thin layer. 4. Stickurr it. 5. Select the scoreboard, it'll layer pop into the polysterene. 6. Glue. I still haven't player this level by myself yet, I will later. I've already played it with you plenty of times, but I wanna get the high score. And heart it. I already gave you some feedback while you were making it, so yeah. :star::star::star::star::star:<3

UPDATE: Mega fix: added bubbles for the more curious sacks, Made the boulder sensor switch more sensitive, Added a few minor detals to the spinning wheel section, and I am currently in the midst of trying to fix the left cannon on the bubble collecting section! Thanks for putting up with all of my updates guys! Ive been trying to follow your advice as closley as I can to make it the most fun for everyone! Thanks for bearing with me- Grayspence:star:

I have played to your level and it has seemed to me to be enterteining, i like the history and the secrets still that i did not obtain all it is a very good idea and the character are graceful, the game-play is good enough, has too much adventure and the part of the cows I like me very much. I have given you 5:star:'S I wait could play to my level WOOD WORDL https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=34593-Wood-World-(with-VIDEO)-*SPOTLIGHT* and i would like to know your opinion. Thanks

Nice first level! Atleast i think its your first . You really captured the feel of the canyons with this one but you put your own twist into it. loved all the various gameplay and obstacles. It really felt like an add-on to the story mode. here are my suggestions: -The button after the 2 side by side jump pads is hard to see . I had restarted because I thought i had to use the jump pads to get over to the right then on my second playthrough I saw the button barely. - The snapshot cam is akward. The camera jerks while your in mid air. maybe make it earlier or have it go off in .1 seconds while in mid air. Overall very good level. Gave it 5 stars and a heart and also have 3rd place . Only found 2 secrets though

I could probobly find out a way to attract more attention to the button by putting some kind of light near it. Other than that, I tried a camera angle set to go off when the player collected all the bubbles, but that didnt work. Im sorry you had to restart because of that! Im actually glad you didnt find all of the secrets! It proves that they arent too easy, yet they arent too hard, as you found at least two! Thanks for the nice rating and the heart! I really appreciate it! I enjoyed your level a lot too!

Hey there, thanks for your kind words on my Flying Saucers From Mars level. Crazy Canyon is a delight to play. First of all, I love a good continuation of an original Story level. I also appreciate the way you kept it in the MM style. I have my own style, but I will always love the original MM Story style the best. Great details. I loved the wobbly shutter, and your enemies were great. I started with the race mode, but died like a noob on a regular checkpoint and had to restart. I then went on without the race mode because I reasoned that I needed to slow down and look around to comment on your level. The level did break on me and I had to restart again. It happened with the bounce barrels that enable you to get the point bubbles and activate the flipping red button to escape that part. I managed to break both of these with one bubble left and I couldn't go on. But I restarted and got the red button to flip. I think what happened was I managed to drop down inside the barrel and have the piston shoot past my sackboy. After that jumping in and out wouldn't work. And then I did the same thing to the other one. Weird. Anyway, I was more careful the second time and had no trouble. That was my only issue. Great design. I had a blast and didn't mind restarting. Good luck.

Great level very clean and stable. Although couldn't get passed launching barrels they stopped working for me. The ones that shoot you up to the hanging points bubbles. Anyways I rated 5 and hearted.

May I suggest that you use an AND switch with 2 mag keys and switches for the bounce pads, so that if both break, than the button flips up anyway?

Woah! That was extremely fun! One of the best, most entertaining canyon levels I've ever played. There weren't any dull spots, the materials matched perfectly, the design was wonderful, stickers were great, and it was fun all the way to the finish. Just a great level. Good job! :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3

UPDATE: Cannons area has been given a complete bug test and Fishrock123 and I could not find any bugs there whatsoever. We also added a notification that you are to press the button after collecting the bubbles. This is now expressed with a light. Thanks for the support! -Grayspence

Hello, I've just played your level, and it was a lot of fun! It's my favorite of all other Canyon level continuations. The visuals were nice and Canyon-ish, and the ending was really cool. Nice work, I rated the level :star::star::star::star::star:.

UPDATE: Everything that has been reported by all of you has been fixed. The cannons no longer break, the random dieing near the first secret is gone, ETC. And its all thanks to your feedback! Ive been admiring your feedback, and Ive listened to every word of it! Thanks for helping my level reach its best it could ever be! I would love to attempt anything you guys throw at me. Tell what you dont like, what you think should be added into my level, even if its something I cant do in my current level, I will try as best as I can to include it in my next level! Thanks for the the extremely kind support! I love having so many people enjoy my level! I promise more are coming! Meanwhile, please keep finding as many bugs as you can in my level!

Awesome canyon level! The visuals looked great and the gameplay is outstanding. This level sure does feel like you're in a canyon level from story mode. The cannons didn't seem to take me up high that much but that's the only minor problem in this level. Overall this level deserves 5 stars and a heart. Play and F4F "The Hero Chronicles LV7 Dragon Ruins"

UPDATE: The level has been updated yet again. I found a bug that can squish you randomly at the spinning wheel area. Oddly, it was caused by a flaw in a corner by the sponge. It only appeared when I pulled the sponge from the top right corner. Thanks! -Grayspence

UPDATE: I found a bug in the secrets board. The wall wont explode when all secrets are found! Hang tight, and try to find them all while your waiting for me to fix it! It wont be untill tommorow, but I know exactly whats wrong, so, unlike the barrels, itll be fixed in a jiff! Thanks! -Grayspence

It's been a while since we had a good canyons level, after all they were my favourite levels in story mode. Great ideas that kept on coming, it never got boring. Spotlight worthy!

Thanks Talbot! Loved that you liked the level! UPDATE: Added a video thanks to Nowblink! Also, the secrets board was fixed! Something went wrong with the logic! It should work really well now.

I loved it! Very nice puzzles, gameplay, visuals, and presentation. I didn't think you could bypass collecting all the score bubbles using the barrels to get up there - have you fixed that yet? Also, no mention of me in the level... 5 stars and a heart! Could you leave feedback on my level LBL 4-in-1: Steelhead: Act 4: The Steel Dragon? Link is in signature.

Thanks JspOt! :blush: I am perfectly fine with the Nod, however! Although, it would have been cool to hear what some members of the spotlight crew had to say about it.

Canyons! Oh, yeah, I love them. They remind me of Mexico. After playing your level, I can say that you made an excellent use of materials, creating some amazing visuals for this kind of level. Probably one of the best (or really the best) Canyons level I've ever played. Funny gameplay, awesome visuals, good choice of sounds and soundtracks, secrets, a lot of point bubbles, great stickers use. Really, this level is how I intend a "Canyon Level". Then, a thing that I loved: everyone uses bomb, but I had never seen balloon-bombs. Great job my friends, :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: <3. If you're not too busy in these days, I'd like if you tried my level for F4F: "The Long Night of Mr. Krom" or "Mm Squad's Christmas mission: Protect the Pack!" by xDante95x. You can find the thread clicking on "My Creations" under my nickname. Just choose one of them and play it, then give me a little feedback

Wow... You came back to play this? Didn't expect that. This level is extremely outdated and I might take it down soon, as Ive got a new batch coming. Thanks for the thoughtful search though, and I'm glad there are people who are willing to explore old levels such as this However, If you REALLY insist on playing this, Go into the text search and enter: @Grayspence, and It will search me up so you can play the level.
