Ninja Odyssey Pt.1 - Trick Master Death Zone

Archive: 9 posts


Hey everybody I have just published my first level. This first level is the final test to prove you are a worthy of the title Ninja, after this test if you are not dead you will have proven yourself strong enough to take on the evil that looms ahead.


Like I said this is my first level, I have a lot of you to thank for helping me with the obstacle brainstorming and tweaks. Please feel free to constructively critique my work. I will begin work on Pt.2 of the Odyssey in the next week or so.

Ok i played and tried here are the pros and cons.

PROS:
The level had a really nice design
The chinese guy at the begining was awsome (way the writing was put forward)
The obstacles were fun, for the most part
SOME parts were original, which i liked

CONS:
Bounce pads, some did not bounce you far enough, mainly where the fire is at the top platform
music! (in water was better)
water part is TOO hard, well at least for me

Thats it, overall it was a good but somewhat frustrating game lol, but thats where the challenge is i suppose haha.

check out mine too if you can

Thanx man! Are you talking about the first jump pad in the level? The one that you use to get to the hanging sponge to get over to the spinning one? I thought about making that a little higher so you could reach those but I liked having to use the lower spinning obstacle to get to the swinging sponge to get to the upper spinning obstacle. I might change the music so that the first one only triggers if you race, and another track triggers if you don't race. I made it pretty dark in the underwater part I have been thinking about making it a little less dark so you can see yourself more, the obstacles are hard enough when you can see yourself. I did want this level to be challenging, it is after all your final test before you are a ninja, also I wanted to to be a real challenge to ACE, but not so challenging that it is random, I know its possible because I have made it through all the trials without dieing but not all of them at once. Thanx for the advice man! I have your level queued and will play it in a second.2011-02-10 04:25:00

it was the bounce pads before you jump on the stairs with the spikes, i know you swing from the rope at top, but if you want to do it in one and aim for the last rope its a bit tricky, its possible, and was just a suggestion to make it a little higher, i will replay it tommorow for you and screen shot the exact one i meant lol.

also the water obstacles and lighting isnt the issue i had, infact they were very good, its the running out of breath bit lol


I retract the above cons, apart from the music, i seemed to go through it easy this time lol.

LOL yeah you should screen shot it for me. I am working on changing the music, I did actually but now the track I selected doesn't play, and the original plays only when you do the race. I thought about putting bubbles in and writing real ninja don't use bubbles on the wall but this is proving more difficult than I originally thought, I definitely want it to be a race against the clock as far as air goes, and if you did take some bubbles I want you to know that I'm laughing at you (or the old man rather). I changed the timing on the cascading platforms right before the electro shaft, and the pounding blocks right after that so it feels more... hurried I guess, but I have not uploaded any of these changes and I would rather not until I get the music thing settled. But again, thanx a lot for the input, I'm glad your enjoying the level. I played yours and it was sweet as well, I need to work on a versus level that works single too, I'm just thinking about what I can do.2011-02-10 09:32:00
