i loved how the level was put together! i've never seen a step by step tutorial done this way. you usually have to walk to see the next step, lol.
i also thought the escalator was awesome. thats something i've never seen before in lbp. i sat there for a couple minutes watching it trying to figure out how it works lol.
very well done tutorial level. can't wait to see the rest!

Here my feedback i played your level and go ingenuity to design all those birds that you have been great and i found the original quite well, the design is very clean and it is pleasing to the eye and i must admit i had never seen some escalators in LBP and they've been great.

The slider/screen is well designed. I can't think of anything that could improve it.
Had no problems. Nice to see you only used the shapes from the tools bag.

Took a while to load due to the amount of custom stickers, perhaps replace them with default MM ones where possible?
The shadows where a little annoying (ruins that clean look), tried any lighting options?
And a bit too much walking for my liking.

A great tool for novices and for anyone that needs help in character design.
Nice to see you are making a few different themes.

Oh, maybe add something at the end saying that people can further customise them with stickers/decorations/creature eyes/etc?

I really like this level's nice, clean look. This sure, consistent style was not necessary for this type of level, so it's nice to see you go the extra mile.

The tutorial system was streamlined and simple, although I'm sure there's an impressive amount of logic buzzing just out of camerashot.

The variety of birds was impressive. Pretty much any bird I can think of is accounted for here. Also, they were expertly designed using simple shapes and the walkthroughs were easy to follow. I especially liked the parrot/macaw. I noticed you have a few more tutorials out/planned, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for these. This is a great resource for beginning creators, like me, and I hope it encourages people out there to fill their levels with wildlife.

For some reason the load time for this level was extremely long, one of the longest I've ever had in LBP. I was about to get out of it and try loading it again when it finally loaded. I thought maybe my Internet connection was just messed up, but I've noticed that others posting above me have noted the same issue. I would suggest including something in your level description to encourag potential players to wait out the long load time and affirm that it's normal. It would be a shame if they gave up and wandered away without having a chance to see what you've built here.

Great work!
