Old PyramidChrisCoConuts
http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh189/Chris-Flame/Valokuva_9.jpgThis is my first level what I'm featuring in LBPC, so I'll try describe best as I can.
Player starts inside pyramid covered in darkness, where mummies have started to go riot. Player's task is going through the pyramid and make it to the end.
It's a tricky platform level with lots of obstacles and enemy targets. You'll meet up at couple dead ends or tough traps, but using the brain ( and quick fingers! ) will help you get through.

Well, suffice it say I'm genuinely impressed with this level! The atmosphere felt just right for the interior of a pyramid, and the platforming was solid and fluid! Pleasing visuals and lights as well, along with some decent sticker-work. I particularly got a kick out of the early puzzles in the level; moving the blocks around to find doors and such was a blast. The boss was fun as well, if a little easy. Oh! The slanted grab-pad. Nice.
I'm on the fence about the mummies, although not because there's anything wrong with them....to the contrary, I normally dislike the "enemies" of LBP, but yours seemed to fit right in the level.
All in all, a solid level from start to finish! Good work ChrisCoConuts! If you feel like hitting me back with a short review, the level is The Temple of Bubbles: Part II
by the way, in my opinion, 5 stars and a Heart

As will I, the atmosphere looks perfect, and it seems like a good idea for a level. It also looks like great detailing, although I haven't seen enough to be sure of its greatness.2010-10-11 18:13:00

This level looks pretty cool. I have a question though. Why is it some threads have stars next to them and others don't? This level looks really cool but doesn't have any stars next to it. :/2010-10-11 18:39:00

I have played to your level and they have pleased the use of puzzles in the pyramid, it is a good my designs realized with few materials and it is valuable, the use of light is agreeable at sight and especially perfectly inside the level, the mummies have been brilliant and the boss OMG realmentelo loves, you used very well the stickers and especially the hands, they were dark and simultaneously surprising i have liked your level and I have amused myself with the suitable use of the obstacles.

I have given you 5:star: ' S

I wait could play to my new level and say your opinion to me thank you: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=37548-Sacktastic-Ptts-Pipe-Dreams-(LBP2)

Just played this and had an absolute blast.

Terrific atmosphere and lighting, although it was big dark at points.

I would to have a sequel exploring the exterior of his pyramid.

Thanks for the play!
I would love to create sequel, but now I'm planning something very different right now.
Currently I'm thinking about level with tricky Paintnator puzzles.

I just played your level.

The atmosphere of the level is great. The player has the feeling of being in a real pyramide
The Puzzles also fit the pyramide theme
Cool that a boss was included
Good lighting and choice of material

The Boss was a bit easy but overall i give you 4 stars for this level.
Good work

Played it, loved it. Typical but well-done platformer. Environment = A+, I love the ominous lighting and the platforming was for the most part excellent. My favorite part was the old-fashioned boss--all jumps, no shooting. Ever since the MGS pack came out, no one ever does those any more and it was really refreshing to see one at the end of your level. I've got really sick of all the shoot-em-up bosses and yours was a lot of fun.

My only suggestions are these:
1) The dark atmosphere is great but as a result, there are some dangers that the player can't see until it's too late. I remember getting killed twice (I think) by gas which I hadn't seen and once by spikes that I couldn't see until I hit them. You don't want to change the global lighting because you've done a fantastic job setting the right mood, but you might want to throw in a few more local lights, especially in dangerous areas.
2) There are one or two parts which are very challenging, so a couple more checkpoints between challenges or "in the middle" of long challenges would be nice. I died quite a few times.

Overall, exceptionally well-done atmosphere, I hearted it to play again later.

Really pretty level. I like all things Egyptian so I had a feeling I'd like this level. Nice use of materials. The gold and heiroglyphics look nice together and the lights are well done too. Found the platforming nicely challenging but not too hard at all

5 stars - thanks for a cool experience.

Played this a while back, thought I'd play again with feedback. I really loved the atmosphere, characters and voice of music.
Here are some suggestions:
You couldmake the creature navigators hidden by hiding them behind the platform. I feel they look put of place.
On the section where you swing down and dodge rotating spikes you can see some dark matter off to the left
I managed to tip an enemy over right after the crushing ceilings by jumping at him.
But I really enjoyed this and hearted it.

Hey, What is this doing in Cool Levels?!

Dunno why, probably because it deserves it! I loved playing through this. The atmosphere was good, you chose your materials well, I loved the boss and the mummies, and it was simple. Which is good.
My only issues would be that some of the backgrounds and floors looked a teeny weeny bit square and dull-looking. Adding a few stickers and stuff would sort that out no problem
Anyway, that aside, I really liked this, so you get 4 stars and a big fat heart good job!
If possible, could you please F4F my level: The (Evil) Castle of the (Evil) Witch Evilline (the Evil)? Thanks lots

A lot of levels of the community take place in pyramid tombs atmosphere, but your level is really a pleasant one.
The difficulty is well balanced, I liked the design of the characters.
The boss is simple but efficient (however there were some sound effects I didn't understand where they came from but it's not a big deal).
All in one it's a nice level
Good job !

That was an outstanding level. The interior pyramid design is truly artistic and the gameplay is quite unique. The mummy boss is great too. The lighting is clever too as you see light and darkness. Overall, it's quite ingenious and it's a 5 star and a heart level. Now why the spotlight crew didn't put it into the recent episode? It's spotlight material.

Nice level.
At one point down in the spikes I saw an emitter on some dark matter when I died.
Some enjoyable platforming in this one.
Boss was simple but satisfying/challenging.
Definitely worth a play.

For future levels, I would suggest coming up with a more creative title, as "Old Pyramid" didn't exactly interest me.
