Shards

Archive: 36 posts


Hey, its been some time since I published a new level, I simply went off creating for a while.

This style of this level is roughly based off mosaics, but I couldn't go crazy because lots of little pieces are apparently not so good for the thermometer. I tried out some new-ish gameplay ideas, some weird character design and a simple boss fight.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

P.S I have a lot of levels 3/4 completed, but I will try and focus to complete Temple of Glass 2 next. And if anyone gives me screenshots I will give you a cookie. <3

BTW: This has been published on my own PSN, DizZyZebra, not my brother's.

Can't wait to give this a shot. When the weather turns bleh again I'll give it a go and leave some handy dandy feedback, it's just too perfect outside right now. I can't wait to see the new gameplay elements. 2011-06-04 18:22:00

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!? NEW DIZZY LEVEL?!?!? ON HER OWN PSN?!?!?

http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv24/moriahbard/miscellany/gifs/1269259657_omg_cat.gif

EDIT: I'm back, in awe. You truly are amazing at detail. You could stop and sit in any part of the level to admire the detail. Gameplay is fun and original, but there is one part that could've used another checkpoint. After where the 4 rocks bob up and down, you then go up and avoid rolling electric rocks. If you could put a checkpoint imbetween the two, that'd be nice

Still, this is one of the most beautiful levels I've ever seen. Easy 5 :star: and <3

Sorry Val, I was making it as a sort of tower build-up to the boss so I thought I would be evil. I am very relieved everything worked though, I always get panic attacks after I release a level incase something has gone wrong.

Thanks for the welcome back people. :blush:

Wow Dizzy this is such a cool level!!
The visuals are so amazing, every part of your level is so beautifully crafted and well designed. Usually this comes at the expense of gameplay, but a lot of your platforming and gameplay was really cool and original so kudos to you

It was a little annoying in the last section with the lack of checkpoints but I see what you were doing. My problem there was I beat everything, went to jump into the boss fight and the gas just got me there before I knew it even appeared

Even so, :star::star::star::star::star: and a mosaic <3

At first, I was all "SQUEEmustdownloadIMMEDIATELY" and so I did.

Initial Impression
This level is every bit as gorgeous as Temple of Glass.

Five Seconds In
Did... did I die ALREADY?! The level is unforgiving! Not that that's bad, but some warning would be nice.

Seriously, the only fault I find with this level is that the boss fight goes on even after you win it. It took a minute for me to realize that the door was open.

Ack, oh yeah. I should of dissolved it the boss. -_- Maybe I will fix it when I get to an internet cafe again, if it turns out to be a big problem. ):2011-06-06 10:16:00

Hey babe. <3

I've been so used to scrolling right to the general section that I didn't even see you had published a new level! I will check this out and give it full feedback.

Hi Dizzy. Wow, what a bright, colourful level. This would look great in HD. Great level design with different things to do to progress. A little unforgiving at times but like a lot of levels where it gets tricky, it's down to how sackboy handles, he can't half be twitchy! Detail was great, what a crazy little world it is. It's all over the place, but it actually works well. Great level Diz!2011-06-10 20:39:00

A beautiful level by a beautiful creator. You are one of a kind Dizzy.

This is one of the most gorgeous pieces of art I have ever seen on lbp psp. The amount of detail is staggering, with your eye popping stickerwork, and all of the materials are unbelievable. How is there no lag in this level!!?? I have played this a few times this week, and I am always opening up poppit to the sticker editor to see how you created the visuals. I'm like, oh it's the butterfly!! Hahaha!!

Well, the gameplay is top notch too, something that I have always thought you excel in also. The difficulty of this level is no problem, but I wish you had been more generous with some more checkpoints, but that's okay. I am always up for a good challenge.

You have become one of the greats, and this level solidifies my opinion of you even more.

A heart of course, and it makes me very happy to heart you as creator on your very own Dizzy psn!

Hey Dizzy!!

I knew this level was a spotlight as soon I spawned into it.

I hope you make more.

Unfortunately, that full feedback thing will have to wait a while... because this is too hard! D:

It's really cool from what I completed thus far, though. Your materials and corner editing are awesome, and that's nothing new, but your use of stickers is better than anything I've seen in any LittleBigPlanet. I mean, you made flame metal look good!!

Can I reccomend more checkpoints in your next level, Dizzy? I almost lost my temper when I played through the first time. :blush:2011-06-14 22:23:00

Sorry about the checkpoints, as a creator you always forget how hard your level is when you have been play-testing constantly. e_e2011-06-15 16:46:00

Hey DizZyZebra,
I'm here, late as heck, but I'm here.
For the sake of progress, I'm going to leave out checkpoints as I've deduced that you've already been informed of this minor problem.


The Bads

Quite Insidious
-This seems to be a more minute problem but I noted that I kept deceasing due to the unexpected twists of the level. Though this may or may not be actually classified as a problem, it did get quite abnoxious - especially for a bubble hunter. Plus, noobs have a habit of quiting and rating a level 1 - 2 stars when tempered. xD

The Boss...
-Well, at the end of the level I beat the boss in approximately 12 seconds. I just grabbed all three sponges in one fluent motion, and it didn't even shoot the fire my way...Just thought I might lengthen my feedback by "Disclosing" this insignificant bug.

The Goods

Those Lovely Aesthetic Values
-Wanted to mention your exquisite corner editing, and stickering. Keepidup! ;D

Very Intuitive Story
-Nice story you've made. Easy to understand yet profound in a notable context.

Birds, Owls, and Zebras
-I don't know why but there's something (awesome) about the way you make and edit animals. Top Notch as always.

The What

So, which kind?
-Here's a stupid, idiotic, and utterly useless question: What kind of flower was at the end of the level? My money's on a Tulip! c:

So yeah, in summary: Beautiful, involving, original, with very few -- Shall I say -- annoyances.
:star::star::star::star::star: & 1 Big fat, over inflated, well deserved <3
I'm also one of the first 10 people to heart your new account: Score!

Hey Dizzy! While I usually leave more feedback, I think everybody else covered it enough. So yeah, :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3. Nice job.

Oh yeah, but before I go...:

This. This glorious suggestion right here.

I think we all like the level as it is. We just want better checkpoints on your next level.*

Really good level although I was tearing my hair out at the bit where you had to get up past the rolling logs without any checkpoints. 5 stars and a heart from MrO.2011-06-18 13:39:00

Hi!

I really enjoyed Shards and think it completely deserves the spotlight =). Here's a bit of feedback:

Story:
Your level has a very interesting story ^^. It's a bit confusing in a nice, mysterious kind of way. I wish I knew more about the disease Sackboy has to cure, and about the evil spirit taking over the mosaic ruins.

Setting:
The scenery is every bit just as interesting as the story. It's one of the prettiest, most detailed levels I've ever played. The corner-editing is very intricate and the sticker work is beautiful. I really liked the designs of the spirit, boss, obstacles and all the mosaics.

Mechanics:
It's probably my fault (I'm not a very good player), but I found some of the platforming parts really hard. Even the beginning was quite challenging. The electrified rolling things near the end were pure evil, in my opinion. =)

The boss looks really cool and defeating it is fun. It was a bit confusing at first, though, and it might have been helpful if, maybe, the good spirit showed up to give a few hints. I also couldn't tell when the boss was finally defeated. It might have been nice if there was a little narration or if a camera showed that the end section was unlocked. Lastly, it's just a little thing, but one of the sponges in the boss area has a visible winch, while the other one is invisible. Despite that, it still looks incredible, and the difficulty makes completing it even more fulfilling. I agree with the others that more checkpoints would have made it more fun, though. ^^

Summary:
Shards is a beautiful level. It is also probably the most difficult level I have ever played in Little Big Planet (that isn't a bad thing; it's still a lot of fun).The story is unique and very interesting and I really hope you make a sequel someday. =)

:star::star::star::star::star: and <3
