Ninja Odyssey Pt.1 - Trick Master Death Zone (NOW WITH ADJUSTABLE DIFFICULTY & VIDEO)

Archive: 13 posts


I have just republished my Ninja Odyssey Pt.1, Now you can de-lethalize the traps by simply placing a sticker on the Sissy sign. I did this because I had a lot of people crying about how hard my level is (1 friend even booed me), I can do this level no problem, but maybe I am more Ninja than you...? Not so you say? Prove me wrong.

this video doesn't include the sissy sign & 1 of the puzzles but I will get a new one up soon.

Thanks for feedback on my level

I think the addition of the 'Sissy' sign is actually quite clever, I think a lot of the most difficult levels would benefit from this. I only had to use it twice so I don't think your level is cruelly difficult, but the underwater section with the plasma and the mines absolutely NEEDS an addition of air bubbles. Seriously, even after de-lethalising that area you only have about 5 seconds of air left by the time you reach the end. Just one air bubble in the middle of that little corridor would make all the difference. I'm not a fan of the strange style of speech from the Ninja master either, although I did like the ending where his granddaughter is still one step ahead of you, that was a nice little touch.

Overall it's not a bad level, some challenging areas and good design and I think the 'Sissy' option is a great ddition, but the underwater section is just too unfair.

Thank you very much for the feedback man! I really like the water part, and I want to add bubbles but I want the player to know I don't want them to use them. Maybe I can write on the wall Bubbles R 4 Sissies in hologram. I know that the Ninja master doesn't have the greatest english, but I am going to have pirates in the next levels (the main enemy) and I can't have them speaking good english, so I had to stick with a theme, Ninja master won't be really featured anymore, he appears once in the next level and thats it.
Thanx for noticing the granddaughter, I want her to run a small obstacle in a movie or while you are running after her but I dunno how to do it yet.

I think the issue here mate is that you're designing levels for yourself in some ways, rather than thinking about the community as a whole. I mean, you can do that underwater bit without using bubbles, that's cool and all, but at the end of the day, it's your level, you designed it that way. Joe Bloggs is not to know all the tricks of the trade, and mostly won't have the patience to keep trying.

Like I say, I think the 'Sissy' sign is funny and I didn't find it offensive or obtuse, but I really do believe bubbles are virtually a necessity at that part. Nobody really cares whether you use them or not, that's not the issue - all they care about is having fun and completing the level without unnecessary frustration

Agreed with what Agsrule said.
I played your level and posted my response in my thread, but since I was new, I failed to realize that I should've gone to your thread. XD

Anyway, the level's good, and being able to turn off traps is a nice idea.
For suggestions, maybe you should set up timers and player sensors so that the NPC doesn't speak so down towards you should you move through the traps fast enough?

Also, in my opinion, the grappling hook section was way too easy, especially when compared to the other parts.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Ok I just added bubbles, and a Bubbles R4 Sissies sign so I think the player will get the idea. Also I noticed that the race sticker sensor was invisible which would explain why no one is close to my score, I made it visible so now hopefully someone can try and beat my score lol. This was meant to be a challenging level for people to ACE but it turns out to be a challenging level for people to beat at all. With a little practice you can make it through all of these obstacles pretty easy, though you are short on breath on the first underwater puzzle (on purpose). My friend showed me that on the bounce pad obstacle with the spinning match sticks you can bounce from the launch pad, to the third bounce pad and straight into an opening on the match sticks if you time it right.
Derejin - Thanks for the input dude! I know that the grapple part is a little weak at the end also there is that rather large stretch of nothing right after it, I wanted to publish and I felt that it was working enough to do so and since then I have been tweaking the puzzles, adding the sissy signs and what not. I want to get to that part and also make another obstacle that you chase the little girl at the end through, but that has not happened yet obviously. I will try and let you know when I update it. Also I am working on an alternate text but that might take a while, and I had only thought of it as a way to call you a sissy if you hit the sissy sign lol, I kinda think of the talking down to you as being a motivator, like a coach screaming at you to do better.

Well, no offense, of course, but instead of feeling like a coach screaming at you to do better, it's more like a sergeant pushing a bayonet in your back until he sees red.. then pushing two more inches. XD

I exaggerate, but he really is quite derogatory towards you, even if you do well. I understand even if you do well that harsh motivation can help, but if he shows no appreciation for improvement..

I'll stop. Anyway, as a quick favor, if you've played my level, could you leave a review of it in my thread? I'd appreciate it. Link is here:

I've also released a new intro movie for my Iron Man series, so you may wanna check that out, too! Thread:

I loved every minute of it, even tho I'm a huge sissy that made passionate love to the fire and plasma like there's no tomorrow.

There's a lot of skin-of-the-teeth moments, and those jutting spikes/fire wheels were a pain, but it's a feasible gauntlet. The ending was hilarious. I like a good challenge, and this whetted the appetite, so good job!
