Hey all! The thermo for this is about 95% full and so if there are glitches, please let me know! You do not need to have played my first level to understand this, but those who have will understand some references. I've taken on board feedback regarding my first level, and in comparison to it, this is vastly improved. Some of the things I focused on include: Improved scenery and background More challenging platforming More complex logic The addition of unique 'minigames' There's some pictures included below to give you a taster: http://ie.lbp.me/img/fl/33e353c6ba799ccbd2a0429fa7ce2f2e845defab.jpg http://ic.lbp.me/img/fl/aec97e4b6e40fefbf7c0e344c1eeaa9b95db7098.jpg http://i9.lbp.me/img/fl/ff9e82ba5abf09dd5b77ff7a8597aa99a1da4c87.jpg One notable aspect of this level is that I have included a good and bad ending. I realise not everyone has the time or patience to play through twice to get each ending, but if anyone would do that it would be very much appreciated. Anyways I hope you enjoy the level and I will be pleased to offer F4F http://lbp.me/v/zpstzb

Played it and loved it, but lost to the bomb's timer. I was too busy fumbling with buttons to figure out what does what. All the puzzles are wonderful, but eject the player once you win! (attach the final 'I win' logic directly to the seat) Some of the cams are waaaaay too far out during the platforming segments. Pull them in just a bit more. As dramatic as they are, I found myself kissing the gas pits too often. haha Other than those lil things, I love it! This is much MUCH better than your first lvl.

Many thanks for the feedback, Cheezy! I'll work on all those things next time I edit the level - I have already edited the bomb timer to give 30 seconds instead of 20 seconds now. I'm still not sure if that's enough time, it's hard for me to judge as I know exactly what it looks like, but it's easy for me to change anyway.

Try making it at least a minute, minute and a half. I'll replay it later. I hate losing haha

Hey agsrule, I managed to finish your level yesterday, and here is my feedback : - The subject is not my favourite subject, but it was ok. - The plateforming sequences are good, but sometimes, the camera is too far from the player. The most annoying sequence was the one with the defense system, I cannot clearly see the difference between background and platforms and fell a lot of time. This is not the only part where i have issue with cameras, but it was the most annoying part. - Adding puzzles to your level is a great idea. I love levels with puzzles ! From my point of view, the puzzles were too easy (I guess it's a fair remark considering you've found mine too hard ), but they were good anyway. I can suggest one or two changes : during the pipe puzzle sequence, maybe highlight the selected piece to know what you're moving. And I have to agree with Cheezy WEAPON, eject the player when the puzzle is solved. It's quite disturbing at the first time. - Mabe give a visual indication about throwing the ennemies in the ... hum... poo compressor. Overall good level, with some flaws but I can see that you've put work into it and some parts are really enjoyable. If you fix the camera issues, tweak some puzzles, it will be a descent level.

Many thanks to all who have given feedback so far. I've taken all your points on board, and edited the level to Version 1.1. Changes are as follows: - Bomb timer increased to 50 seconds - Camera angles changed for later platforming sections - Second minigame edited; now provides a visual indication of which puzzle piece is selected - All controlinator/minigame sections now automatically eject the player upon completion - Some score bubble relocation I'm still doing F4F for this and any further reviews would be appreciated

I got stuck in your level yesterday. During the second minigame, I was switching between the pieces of pipe, and I chose the second piece, the first that I had just place began floating to the right all on it's own. I have no idea what caused it, but I'll certainly give it another go later.

Yes I know what you're talking about, I've encountered that before - it's caused by still holding on to the analogue stick when you switch to another piece, even if you're only nudging it. I've no idea how to stop it from happening though, I mean the pieces are already going through a selector so when one is on the others should be off, and deceleration is set on each piece to 100% so there's no reason why it should continue moving when it has no input. Just an unfortunate glitch maybe, but apologies for it anyway! I hope if you play my level again you don't encounter any problems

Great job! + <3 I loved the imaginative use of puzzles. They reminded me of the puzzles in Ratchet and Clack: A Crack in Time (I think that was the game). The storyline of this level was also a highlight for me. It was very funny. There was one confusing part for me. I wound up jumping in the "poop compactor" (I should have known better!) and had to respawn to get out. This wasn't that big of a problem, but perhaps adding something that indicates that you should not jump down there and instead head upwards with the grappling hook (this route seemed less intuitive to me.) All in all though, great job! Cheers, J

Thank you for the feedback and heart! Yes, there seems to be a few people who are jumping straight into the poo compressor instead of grappling up there...I let my girlfriend try the level and she did the same thing! I'll probably add a short speech bubble after that area opens up just to guide users in the right direction. Can I also ask if you completed the bomb puzzle, and did you think the time limit was too short/long or about right? Just going on PS3 now to check out your level btw!

I did complete the bomb challenge. I don't know how much more time I had when I finished, but it seemed like enough time. J

Heh, no apologies necessary. In the level in my signature I have a several minigames like you have here, and I don't know why, but they always have their quirks. I'll give it another shot.
