Cardboard Island *Spotlighted with video*

Archive: 19 posts


Cardboard Islandaustimerr
A quest for fame turns into a quest filled with cardboard, crabs, and coconuts!
After a 2 week creator block I have finally finished my new level! It is another platformer with a story.

Well the story is that you want to discover an island to get it named after you but once finding one you get pulled into a fight between the crabs and the coconuts! Make you way to the head coconut and stop his evil rule! What has caused him to become so sour? Play to find out!

I really love the cardboard look that I used for this level! It creates clean feeling visuals. Please play this level! You will like it... a lot! So what are you waiting for! Go!

Oh and don't be a crab, rate it 5 :star:'s, and unless your coconuts you will give it a<3.
Thanks!

Alright! Feedback time.

Right off the bat, the visuals you display are very impressive. Nice use of different cardboard and stickers. Speaking of visuals, the characters were very good as well. I can see that a lot of corner editing was involved.

Now for the cons, I'd say you're only problem is the simplistic gameplay. It's nice and all, but it's too simple and repetitive. I'd like to add that the ending get's a little wordy, it's not a real bad thing, but it's minor nuisance for me.

Even though the gameplay is a little lacking, your level still deserves 5 :star:

Ok,this level is really fun,your bubble combos were well placed this time and are fun to get.
The visuals were good,but I expected someting more complex with the characters (that's just me).The materials were...well,cardboard and you used stickers well,but the houses at the beginning looked kinda weird in my opinion.
It's good to see you managed to have a great balance between characters and gameplay.
Great job on this one austi I gave you:star::star::star::star::star: keep up the good work.I can't wait to see what you next...you have some pretty weird cool ideas like flying giant crabs and...gianter crabs?

Hey Fool! heres my feedback!

First of all i really like your houses on the dock and the island in the background, Nice boat too but it didn't make a boat sound which is a huge disappointment, Lol Just kidding.

The Cardboard trees and all of the characters in the level are really cool.

Nice Bubble collecting but im not sure if i like the music you chose for the level, that music gets dull fast.

Woohoo its bingo night! nice coconut minions and very cool boss fight!

I gave it 5 stars and a <3keep up the good work!

I played this for the bubble storm contest, and forgot to tell you what I think!

The design of the level was very good. The materials blended well throughout, but it was a little rocky at the beginning with the water. I liked that last boss, but glockenpop was an issue. I had to go cry in the corner I gave you :star::star::star::star::star:

An all cardboard level? Who in there right mind would do this?

Just kidding. Using the basic materials for an entire level is brave and bold and proves you can make beautiful scenery with the bare minimum which is no easy task to accomplish. The level is a lot of fun. From the boat ride, to the platforming, there is not one minute wasted in the whole level. I loved your trees and platforming on top of them to get to the hard to reach bubbles was great.The level design is tight and fluid and a joy to interact with.

Hahaha, I liked the story too. The coconuts proved to be formidable enemies and it amused me to cause chaos in there little world. The boss coconut was a blast to defeat. I always am impressed with a good boss fight. Making a good boss on the psp is very hard and this was one of the best I have ever faced. I liked the ending, it was great way to finish.

Amazing job using the basic materials which gave this level a very original and unique look, and that in itself is worth 5 stars, but the epic boss grants you another heart on another great level. <3

I agree with VJ, this was a big risk but I think you pulled it off with style. The visuals are quality considering only cardboard was used for the most part, but it did lack in gameplay slightly. I would have liked to have seen more use of things in the front layer to add some depth to the visuals, as it kinda felt a little flat for an island.

No complaining though because there was an excellent boss fight and some cool character design.
An obvious :star::star::star::star::star: and a cardboard <3

I really enjoyed the Cartoony-ness of it.
I'm kind of a perfectionish and all my lines have to be straight and match up. I can never have simplicity.
Good level anyways ( I'm not saying it's simple, by the way) I'll be sure to 5 star it and hear it
