Title: The Favor Part One Creator: w00tus Location: Northern California You can find it very easily by searching by creator. This is my first level, I've been working on it since the beta and I've put a lot of work into testing and tuning. I've gone for a challenging but fun platformer. I recommend this level be played single player but there are plenty of lives for more people. Here are some pics and a youtube video will be up soon. Sorry about the poor quality shots, I haven't mastered off-screen screenshots yet. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/3078581800_cda4bbb5e6.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3237/3077750333_2b33779897.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3136/3078582172_95300e600e.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3205/3077750717_af661f9a50.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3058/3078582552_fc86205a2d.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3220/3077751111_5fbc98998a.jpg GcePG3yfPIs

Loved it and it is really good for a 1st level. I thought it was really creative. Cool things: - The sense of scale in the beginning - The smoke from the muffler - AMAZING looking woman - Slime. Not enough slime in levels. - Sewer looked awesome. - Roaches. I've never befriended a roach until this level. I'd say this is good enough to be spotlighted in the future. If it is, CALLED IT.

That level was really awesome for a first level, actually, you made it look like a 3rd or 4th level, you must of taken a long time with this level as it shows, the detail. You even, like only a mere few levels I have seen, added Sackboy's size to the actual level, I really liked it. 5 Stars and hearted.

Thanks for all the great comments guys it's really nice to get positive reinforcement on something I've put so much work into. I was kind of nervous that it was better in my head than it actually is. Part Two will hopefully be longer and more epic, I've learned a lot from building this level and I should be able to get Part Two out a lot quicker as I've already got some of the enemies built and one of the bosses mostly built. I've also got the layout pretty much all drawn out. Again it's just a great feeling to know that people are enjoying something that I've created!

I love the art design, specifically on the characters and the background (such as the car and the little sewer town). Great job!

Wootus your level ruled man! I love the cockroaches and your "slime" throughout the level was gross, hilarious and very effective. I love the part at the start where your chasing the ring down the sewer, you did a fantastic job of it. Only criticism is you overdid it on the puking sounds hahaha. Man I almost threw up myself traversing the sponge slimy ceiling in that one part. Hearted and 4/5 stars. Great work man! Spotlight worthy imo

Thanks for the critique man and for playing my level! I will take that into consideration for part 2 and I may go back in and tweak it a bit. Tweaking is hard because the level is soooo close to overheating that it just randomly does it sometimes when I go into it and edit it. When it overheats it tells me to use less complicated shapes. I've been trying to come up with a way to make the slime look good but not have so many edges. I've been making it by using the circle and oval shapes to draw and then cut away pieces. I think I will be able to get a similar effect by "drawing" my own with the corner tool. Hopefully I'll be able to get them to look good that way. I really wanted my level to be much longer, the stuff I have drawn out for it would make it about 2-3 times bigger than what it already is and have about 3 boss fights (2 mini and 1 main). I think with all the stuff I learned making this first level I will be able to fit everything I want into part 2. It will be much more technically advanced as I've learned a lot about switches. In your comment on my level you said keep republishing for more plays. How does that work? Does it bring it to the top of a list somewhere or does it artificially increase the number of plays? I definitely don't want that.

I believe when you republish a level it puts it up in the "cool levels" feature in the game for a short period of time. All I know is every time I republish my levels they usually get 10 plays right off the bat, and a few over the next couple hours. It might actually prompt the "quick play" option as well, sending you to the newest levels. Not sure exactly how it works man, sorry! haha

I've republished The Favor Part One, I've added a few small things. - Added a couple more checkpoints to make it more multiplayer friendly. - Added some score bubbles to dress it up a bit. - Major tweaks have been made to the ring chase section and I feel it's been much improved. Work is underway on Part Two, I'm going to need a few people who would like to help me test it. I've currently got one boss fight that I need tested, I built it last night and I know it needs something different but I haven't figured it out yet.

Liked it up to the part where you have to keep pressing R1 to climb across the goo while hanging over the gas. The part was just annoying and not fun. Kept barely hitting the gas. . Good work on what you have so far though. You sort of had my idea for a sewer level.
