First off mate, you're not allowed to bump these threads. Editing your previous post will do just fine if no one has commented.

Secondly it's probably because this is your first level EVER, lots of people tend to avoid those because usually they aren't so great.

Glad you had fun creating this though

I'll queue it and try it. Will you play the level in my sig and leave comment on my thread? It's a work in progress.


Edit:

I will not queue this untill you provide an LBP.ME link. Just a warning.

Just tried it couple times. Tried to make sure that I was able to reach top 10 in high score.
It works and it looks great. Dificulty may increase slowly during easy difficulty at start, but it'll get hard once you've got lots of points.
I suggest you add more health for bigger rocks, so the game gets little challenging.
I give it a yay!

hanks for the review, health has now been added to alot of the rocks, also dynamic background, with a black hole is being added and your ship will have a 3 hit health system, once you get to 50k it gets very hard lol.

beta v0.9 will be up later today.

Aha ok I just played the level and I don't believe you've republished yet. I'll post my review and re-queue it, and go back and see what's improved, then edit this post (just cos I'm that lovely.)

BETA 0.7 Review:

Looks

Overall a really nice looking level. I especially like the look of the weapons. However if you veer towards the edge of your map, you start to see the gap behind it, which takes away from the immersion a little. This is easily solved with a thin layer cover up around the perimeter! The overall look of the level however is very slick. But please do something with your highscore board. It's not the hugest of deals but I love to see some effort throughout (Take a look at some really popular level's boards to see what I mean - decoration doesnt end at the checkpoint )

Playability

I played a few times to give you a fair overview, and I have to say that the controls are perfect movement-wise. A nice, simple twin stick shooter is almost always a win for me. Speed on the ship is good, feeling responsive and easy to make a getaway in the first portion of the level.

A few points (which may become irrelevant at update)

I agree regarding differing health for larger rocks - perhaps differing scores too. This will really add to the satisfaction factor.
I did on a few occassions mysteriously die. I believe it was as I verged towards the edge of the map. You may intend for this but (see point three)
It would be great if you had some sort of short instruction (preferably skippable, or even optional) at the beginning. Just basic controls, point scoring advice, and also telling us that we have more than one weapon! It took me till my third play to mess around with the L1 button to discover that!

Lastly, I'd like to see some merit to having three weapons to choose from - make them differ a little more. Sure the sonar has a slightly larger range, and the quickfire is just that, but the third (I dunno what to call this one, blaster?) seems a little redundant.

Overall

Truly, this is a great level considering it's your first and your short time on LBP. A little tweaking and this will get the recognition it needs. For more inspiration (but please no copying!) why not take a look at JOhnee's Blast Radius? (http://lbp.me/v/w-328s)

I look forward to your update and I'll do my best to come back and edit if I feel it's necessary

thank you for your very detailed review, and all your points are taking into consideration, here is a few updates i have going on now.

1) Dynamic background (starfield material) and adding a black hole
2) now 4 weapons, with a bigger range as you mentioned
3)no gaps in the border or play area, ill triple check tho lol
4) menu system, with music selection, how to controls and play
5) more range in different size rocks having different health
6) FULL MULTIPLAYER LOL
7) more bosses (rollers) added at

35k = 2x small rollers
45k = 2x medium rollers
55k = 3x strong rollers

all now with even more rocks being emitted as your score gets higher.

again thanks for the review, it has been really fun making this, i just hope people have the same when they are playing it.
