Catastrophe Core *Spotlighted*

Archive: 24 posts


Catastrophe Coreradishlord
An eerie survival challenge set in a bioshock-inspired steampunk world. Dodge obstacles while keeping up with the conveyer belt and collecting points!
For this level, I wanted to try something completely different and focus on building a good atmosphere and gameplay. I thought that a survival challenge would be perfect for this, so I got to work.

This is F4F, so if you find any bugs, hate a certain part, or have any suggestions don't be afraid to say something. And finally, thanks to gigglecrab for all the help.

Oh good, it's already been rated 2 stars. I think it deserves more, especially for 3 weeks of work...2010-11-28 19:21:00

Yeah, that's not fair at all, probably just some idiots who played it, did'nt know what they were doing and rated it low due to anger. I'll be sure to check it out and rate it fairly.

I'm planning to play it later today so look for my feedback. As for the 2 stars, I recommend you republish it so that a true player who knows anything about creative levels will give you the stars and hearts deserved. That should take care of the problem. Hope that helps.2010-11-28 21:36:00

Well it was actually 1 star at first, but I republished :/
My problem is that with a low rating everybody will think it's terrible (it's not that bad)

I liked it. Was a creative style of survival. If seen styles where things come at you and you would have to dodge but this was more than just the normal jump over stuff.

Likes:
-The atomsphere although there is room for improvement.
-The creativeness of the survival
-The grabs to get through section
-The shoot to get through section

Improvements:
-The area to work with was really small, made some parts difficult. They were manageable but others my struggle with them.

Suggestions:
-Add more to atomsphere make it more stand out ish
-Expand the area the player has to work with down on the belt, not like a little expansion but substantial. (It's a matter of opinion, gives player more time to see what's coming and do figure out what to do) (Could also be the camera zoomed in to much, but idk)

What you could also do (maybe not this one if you don't want) but a sequel could be to slow the belt down and make the challenges more time consuming and difficult.

Overall:
I liked was creative and had good level of challenge. :star::star::star::star: and <3

Please feedback my "The Distant Crystal: Part 2" in my signature

Edit: The plasma balls can be a bit cheap... Maybe have them kick in later on in the level. Seemed a bit quick in my opinion. Possibly a warning to position myself better. Idk something with those seem cheap and could be better

Edit #2: I was killed and spawned onto the plasmafied pillars... and other stuff. Key fix right there to make sure one doesn't spawn to their death

I have some logic in place to stop the spawn killing, looks like that has failed... That will be the first thing I change.
I'll also delay the activation of the turrets a bit more and I'll think about some of the other things you said.
Have to wait until after school to play your level though

Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner, I have lot's of stuff going on.

It was a fun, original survival challenge. I liked the concept of it, but I thought the obstacles were a bit too easy. The only thing that killed me most of the time was the plasma balls. If it's possible, I'd make some more challenging obstacles and add a warning to when the turrets are going to shoot. One other minor thing I noticd is you only have to shoot the bottom rocks on the paintinator obstacle, and the rest float and you just run under.

Overall it was a very fun, creative challenge, I just thought there were some small changes to be made.

The paint challenge, I had to do that to stop it breaking. It was a nightmare but I'll see what I can do.
As for the turrets, I'm considering slowing down the plasma balls a bit. Adding a warring sound gets incredibly annoying.

This is what I think about your level:

Good: Better than MOST survival levels, and a lot more creative. It causes a good tension level. And it is challenging.

Bad: Three chances is too little. More room would be nice.

I think its a good level, even tough I don't like survival levels. :star: :star: :star: :star:

Now, please check out my level:

Ok, played

Looked nice, but not best looking steampunk level ever


If you listen REALLY closely you can hear motor bolts, but that's not a major problem


Good sections on conveyor


Good visuals despite first comment

Could use invisible gas in the area to the left to stop the player jumping down and dieing... That annoyed me


:star::star::star::star:


Decent level Not new idea for a survival but it's a fun level which earns it 4* Status

I didn't mean add a warning sound to the turrets, maybe just a red light on them that shows when they're about to shoot.2010-12-02 00:44:00

This is by far my favorite survival challenge levels I've ever played. Sharp visuals and unique gameplay made this challenge stand out from the rest! 5 stars and a heart. Thanks!
