Pushed out another level! As usual main goal was to have fun. This level was inspired by LBP2 and a whole lot of randomness!

Comments & Ratings would be wonderful.

I very much enjoyed playing your level. The visuals were strong and the gameplay was fun!

You have a distinctive art style and I really liked all the idiosyncratic pieces of art scattered through the level. I particularly liked your little stickman drawings giving hints. Nice warm lighting as well.

There were some cool gameplay ideas on show and I definitely recognised some from LBP2, nicely implemented. You obviously have a wicked sense of humour though as there were a few traps in there too, lol!

Anyway I enjoyed playing ? there was just something fresh about It. It deserves a lot more than the 3 stars it has in game.

I'll try to play it this evening.

Okaay, here's my review.

First of all, I had already played your first level and I didn't recognize you, your style in Insanity I really liked how the level was clean and looked so perfect.
At first glance, I thought the gameplay was going to be the highlight of the level, I was wrong.
Both the visuals AND the gameplay were great, fun, never boring.
I was excited and distracted from the first checkpoint to the scoreboard...
Amazing level overall.

PS: I don't understand how it gets 3:star: ... crazy people.

I saw this level on cool pages today and played it, good stuff.

The LBP2 inspiration is apparent but not a bad thing, there are a few clever gameplay mechanics in here and I like how the visuals mesh really well with the gameplay. Had a great time running through it but it did feel a little short, or maybe I just wanted more.

Amazing work! Seriously, it's been a looong while since I've played something so great! Lots of innovative gameplay/visuals, I love the characters and sticker-work, and the end scoreboard gameplay was genius! I wish there were more creators like you, I gave the level :star::star::star::star::star:, <3ed the level, and gave you an author <3. Keep up the awesome work! 2010-09-30 22:46:00

Thanks again everyone. Hopefully you'll enjoy my next level (in 2-3 days) as much as you did this one. 2010-09-30 23:30:00

- At the start, that upper ledge to the right is way too hard to see.
- Bad layer switching when you go to the left. (sackboy auto switches to front layer instead of back + door is small and annoying to get into)
- Lame invisible walls on first jump pad.
- The red arrow says to go left, when you need to go right.
- Only way to get prize bubble is to die. (as far as I know)
- Last bit of cardboard that covers picture of guy gets stuck.
- The worst thing in the level was the camera during the bounce over the electric thing and then grab the brown sponge on a string.

So those were the not so good things. But there was way more good than bad.
I especially liked the colours with the blue and brown.
4 stars. Hmm, might be too harsh. Let's just say 4.5/5. I rated it 5 in game since it's worth more than the current three. Darn cool pages.
Love your logo btw.

Hi ho... I played this jewel an hour ago and I really have to say: you did a great job! I'm in the beta and this level looks pretty cool and the style comes close enough to remind me to the first LBP2-Beta level. For me it's a must play and a very very well deserved spotlight!!! Congrats btw :-)

The only area where it was a bit bumpy (^^) are the bumpers/jump-pads to elevate to the upper level (don't know if there are 5 or 7 bumpers, but I think you know what I mean). It's a pitty that the sensor-switch and the position of the sack upon a pad will elevate you in many different ways (hights) - but I think that there is no real solution for it... I tried it many times to reach the price-bubble at the ceiling on the left side here, but the more I tried it, the more I fall down to the base while jumping not high enough from each pad, causing me to fall from an upper pad to a lower one.

I really love the material and the sticker usage - when I first saw the custom-made sackbot: woah - very cool :-)

It's a pleasure to give :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3

This certainly diserves more than a spotlight! I loved this level! You had lots of great unique platforming, tricky concepts I had never seen before, and the scenery was terrific! Great use of all the layers. I hearted this one as soon as I finished playing it. One recommendation however, the bouncing pads were sometimes frustrating because they wouldn't bounce me far enough. But that wasn't enough to take away from your final score.

I very much enjoyed playing this level! I also admired the visuals and gameplay in it.

Likes:

Gameplay
Visuals
Idea
The creative flow in the level

Improvements:

Just a suggestion, but maybe you could add some kind of puzzle in it? Like a button press puzzle or something, so that it will get the community thinking?

This is by far, one of my favourite levels, I also love your other level Mangura Temple. Question, will you be making any more levels?
