First, I'm not a big fan of survival levels. That being said, when I play a survival level, I'd like it to rely on skill to get past, not just blind luck. The patterns of lethal emanations were too close together to be dodgeable and that makes survival too much dependent on luck. This level was just too much for me in that there were too many things being thrown at the player and there wasn't any kind of definition for what we were supposed to do. When I got to the "wait" sign and waited, a platform came down and squished me dead. That moment caused me to curse at you. You told me to wait there and then killed me for following your directions. That sucked, big time.

My recommendations would be to slow down the lethal emanations to allow the players to dodge them. Make all the lethal emanators visible to the players. Don't tell your players to wait somewhere that will kill them. And do something about the lethal gas at the top of the platform that will allow the player to avoid it.

Give your players a choice and a chance.

I am pretty sure I played this level, it was with your PSN and the correct name...but I could not get past the battle. The start did not allow enought time to read the text at all. Then I was killed/transported to the battle. The battle seemed like a R-Type boss battle, it was anice idea...but it was just one pattern of movement, the plasma was far too random and fast. I did like how the boss started to golw red. I noticed pistons in many areas, and the boss seemed lke he could have used some touch-ups. The platforms were a bit basic, no movement, just blocks. The life was infinate so there was no challenge. When I beat him the red plasma bursts kept falling, and the green dissolve material never went away. I tired pulling it shooting it and so on. I could not get past that point, but what I could see to the left could have used a little more touch up on design. I like the idea of shooting the r-type world up...you just need to fix the glitches and add some more action and details to the boss. The begining point could have used some more detail and the corner edit. When that black wall vanished I could see the edges it left. Sorry I can't help more, but it would not let me finish.2010-09-24 02:14:00

Hi orelanguys.... well, where should I start with my honest feedback... it was a hard time playing this, not due to the challenges, but due to the massive amount of issues in here.

pros:
- well, to be honest: I didn't see a "pro" - sorry for that

cons:
first enemy:
- just one attack-pattern
- bad camera-angle - when you destroyed the ship (is it a ship? it looks a bit weird - could need a bit decoration and some nice facelift), the red plasma from above kept on shooting at me- that made me think "huh? I destroyed the ship, what the hell is shooting at me???" - that is really not good. I had to shoot in the dark to destroy this plasma-cannon - and the only thing that informs me that I hit was the paintinator-switch's sound....
- the are with the black big bomb-boxes: well, like randomcheese said above: the "wait here" sign is misplaced - you could have make this lift with a simple sensor that moves up when the player is on the plattform.
- gas at the top of this lift - huh... why did it appear? couldn't see any reason for that - if this was a attack-pattern, than it would be better to create some pipe above with a green/red light that indicates that the gas will come...
- the enemy (?) after that obstacle, the rotating cross, was not a challenge cause you can stand on the upper plattform, leftside of the checkpoint - - there you can't get killed
- after destroying this obstacle, the plasma still shoots from above !
- last lift before the scoreboard: it's not easy to jump out of this tiny box

I think you could have done a lot better than this - maybe you can fix some bugs, change some camera-settings (you have to see your enemys!!), the "waiting-zone" (perhaps you can sticker an arrow or a big red cross at the position, where you have to wait (and not under the downcoming plattform)), the look of the enemys. But right now, it's very frustrating due to the issues in here.

I tried again once I saw that you can shoot the unseen thing above. The music was a bit loud so even then I was not sure I was hitting it...the same goes for the next boss. The drops of the boxes seemed to randomly spawn explosives that would kill me at spawn or on the lift. The gas thing killed me several times...the boss had toooooons of hit points. Got to the next boss, figured I would have fun....big mistake...once I died the hurt locker was opened big time! I was spawn killed about 75% of the time, the time box that was not grabbable and had to be pushed was exploded by the swarm of plasma about 70% of the time, the parts of exploded boxes blocked it from getting into the area to blow the material up to get the LIMITED shot paintgun about 50% of those times...the material respawned to make you relive the task of exploding it again 175% of the time...why 175% you ask...well I got the lid removed and got the paint gun once...the other several times the lid respawned before I could get in to get the paintgun at all...or in the final act of pure evil...it respawned while i was in it and acutally getting the gun...which trapped me...that with him still having 50% life...when most all of that life was removed before I said...hey let me hop down there and try to fight...that was about 5 minutes to get the paint gun once...and thus it ended my need to get the paint gun a second time. Your level may be good, but you really need to fix these glitches big time.
