Hello,

I just queued up your Halloween level and I'm really looking forward to playing it. I also made a Halloween level, called "Trick or Terror!" and here is the F4F thread for it:
https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=43065-Trick-or-Terror!

Also, I know Christmas is long gone, but if you're feeling up to it, please check out my Christmas level, Little Big Christmas. The F4F thread is here:

Please let me know if you have any other levels you'd like me to F4F! Thanks!

Very impressive level, especially the beginning, with the spooky village utilizing the extra layers. I thought the buildings were very well-realized with a unique style that carried throughout the village. The little additions, like the bat and the cat were great.

A suggestion: Spellcheck your level description and title. A few typos always sneak in -- no one expects us to be Shakespeare -- but some of your typos are hard to miss. For starters, "Counts" is possessive, so you need an apostrophe before the s -- "The Count's Castle". I know this sounds like nit-picking, but when you put as much effort and care into a level as you obviously did here, it would be a shame if someone assumed you were amatuer simply because they noticed a mistake in your title. Anyone who plays the level will know that you are obviously are not an amateur! You are a very skilled creator.

Great camera movement through the forest, and the lightning around the castle looked amazing. You have a firm grasp on the atmosphere throughout and I can't congratulate you enough. Everything looks beautiful. My mouth literally dropped at least once.

The electrified fish water obstacle was great, but the other water obstacles (the floating, electrified tiles) were out of place and, in my opinion, took the experience down a notch. Here, the player is in a beautifully-realized underwater adventure and then here come floating, electified tiles. They were very out-of-place. If you replace them with fish, I think you'll be better off.

Also, there were times while underwater that I didn't know where to go. Maybe some strategic prize bubble placement could make this a bit clearer?

There was a blank area to the left of the exit from the water. I walked quite a ways that direction, only to find an invisible wall and the well I jumped down earlier. I suggest making the terrain on that side of the exit immediately too steep to climb to keep people out of there, or put some kind of prize back there to reward people for walking the wrong way for 10 seconds.

The boss battle looked great!!!! But the actual fight was a bit tiresome. It was just a "shoot with the paintinator, dodge one type of attack, and then shoot with the paintinator some more" type of battle, and the LBP servers are flooded with these. Maybe the boss could have some more varied attacks, like maybe shoot little, lethal bats encased in tiny gas clouds, or even that brilliant lightning you used earlier. However, the stage for this battle is top-notch, and so is his look and his movement.

It was a joy to play this level. Thank you for publishing it.
