(1-4 players)
Level Details
You have infiltrated one of my underwater bases and now I'm on to you! I have set the base to self destruct and sink into the ocean. You must now escape before you're taken to your watery grave. Get ready for an action packed experience that will be keeping you on your toes until the very end! Featuring level secrets and a final boss. It's an experience you don't want to miss!

Developer Notes
When I created this level, I aimed for 5 stars. I kept adding to it until I maxed out the thermometer. I'm not the best at scenery, so I concentrated on mechanics. I tried to keep the player on his/her toes throughout the level, making you think you'll drown at any moment. I hope everyone enjoys it. If you have any feedback or wish me to continue working on more levels, let me know. Have fun!

Secrets
There are a few secrets in the level to increase re-playability. It will let you know how many you found at the end of the level.

Hehe, thanks for being the first person to test and rate my level tomodon. It was feeling lonely. I'll have to give your Quark level a try in return. ;-)2010-12-30 22:27:00

Oh, you don't have to play any of my levels, they're all pretty useless, especially my first level, 'Quark.'

But anyway, this thread is about your level, not mine!

On entering this level I noticed that the start looked very nice, which is good, as it gives a good first impression. The looks seemed to dull slightly as I went on.

I also noticed that you take a lot of ideas and inspiration from DLC pack, most notably Pirates of the Caribbean and Metal gear Solid. I did see a resemblance between the final boss and the Kraken. However, this didn't bother me because I was too busy marvelling in how well done the tentacles themselves were.

What did confuse me slightly was the overall progression of the level. If I hadn't read your post here:


You have infiltrated one of my underwater bases and now I'm on to you! I have set the base to self destruct and sink into the ocean. You must now escape before you're taken to your watery grave.

I would never have understood that it was your base, as this was not included in the description or in the actual level. I recommend actually putting the quote above as your description, and to work it into the start of your level too.

Another confusing bit was the boss, as there wasn't too much warning about it and why it was there. Maybe at the start you could put:

'I have you now, Sackling! Prepare to die! If the water and traps don't get you, my pet Squid will! MUHAHAHAH!

The flooding was also a bit odd too. Its irregular stops and starts were a bit strange, but sometimes reality must be sacrificed for fun!

Overall, I can't say that this was the best level that I've ever seen, but it was fun, and in the end, fun is all we can really rely on.

I may have been generous, but 5 stars and a fat, juicy heart.

Thanks for being generous, lol. I was kind of hoping that I would finally be able to get that last create trophy before LBP2 comes out. Guess not though. It's funny how long I've owned this game and I still couldn't get all the trophies. I mean how in the world are you supposed to get 50 level hearts and 30 publisher hearts. It's impossible unless you spam people. Well anyway, I hope you all enjoy the level, it was pretty challenging to make.2011-01-03 17:33:00

Yeah, it was fun. I liked it.
Hearted.
My biggest critique would be the wood material used througout. I would switch it for something that fits the theme better.
Good job.

Thanks midnight,

People seem to be enjoying it, I've only been getting 5 stars since my last post. I honestly didn't expect very many people to play it since there's like 2 zillion levels already, haha.
I think I'm going to start working on a sequel in 4 days, cause that's when LBP2 comes out! :-) I'm so excited, I can't wait.
