The Block Castle Story *video*

The Block Castle Story *video*Arcas-X
Made from the finest blocks in all of LittleBigPlanet, Block Castle has been invaded by an unnatural force and unbeknown to sackboy, he is the new and upcoming hero in this story.
Just finished this level after a few weeks of work. It's a fun simple level with a couple puzzles and secrets as well as a pretty cool and different boss fight. I'd love to hear some feedback as well as complaints I'm sure some people will have
I also uploaded a video for those who want to see it a little bit before playing.

Also, if you're feeling lazy and don't want to complete the puzzle, grab the last piece of carpet under the knight and then kill yourself. There's a grab switch that activates a further along checkpoint.

Have you played my level Trek of Blockadia? If so it's style is extremely similar to this level's look. I'll check this level out soon but in the meantime could you check my level out?

I also watched the video a bit and it actually is possible to make a working ladder.

Haha, coolest review ever! The sign was actually just a placeholder but by the end of the level I just decided to keep him. I'll see if I can do better. I'll also see about the puzzle pieces, maybe trimming would work like you said. Thanls for the awesome review and keep an eye out for updates!

Nope, I've never played that level nor any other "block" levels until after I made this. It was pretty strange, I just randomly decided, "okay, how about a generic save the princess level in a world all made from blocks. Yeah that sounds awesome." I'll definitely play your level though and leave feedback. Anything for a fellow block creator

Hello again! I just played your level and here are the results:

pros:
- A nice visual style
- A story
- Custom music
- Varied game play
- Great boss fight

cons:
-The puzzle is about half the level
-The puzzle pieces are tough to slide in

The only major con is the puzzle. Just work on it a little bit and it will be perfect.
