Castle of Despair

Archive: 6 posts


I haven't been very active on lbp central because i have been putting the final touches on my latest level and i'm really chuffed to say its finished!. Most of my other levels are easy enough but for this one i wanted to go for something much harder that would be more challenging and more fun, i had a lot of friends help test it and i'm pretty certain any bugs have been ironed out. The level as you would imagine is set in an old castle and traversing it can be quite perilis so you have to be careful where you step. when it comes to traps i was inspired by the likes of indiana jones and prince of persia but the castle looks more like something from bram stokers dracula so its got a really nice atmosphere. I didn't want score bubbles in the level because i wanted something different so i spent a long time creating skulls the player picks up for points, they are hidden around the level and are quite fun to search out. Logic was something i used a lot of and many of the traps are very intricate and took a long time to construct, the level itself took just over a month to create and a lot of it has been changed along the way ..hopefully for the better! anywho its online and i hope you guys enjoy it = )

Hi,
I played this level and was suprised at how long it was, there were also some really well thought out puzzles that I thought were brilliant, like the one where you have to carry the bomb towards that one area. Overall it was a great package and the atmosphere was well captured too. Some of the traps in the level kept me on my toes and spiced things up. My only complaint is...

This area here near the beggining was a bit tricky to traverse due to the camera angle. But that's just me, everything else in this level worked well, and I had fun playing it, Great Job! =D

Great level very hard but great. The look and design of the castle was amazing and the traps were all brilliant. I had to replay a lot of the same bits though because it was so hard so maybe you need more checkpoints around.

Although hard platformers arent really my thing i am glade i played this and managed to finish it very enjoyable and i feel like i have accomplished something. I couldn't find all the skulls unfortunatly but i did find about 7 - 8 of them.

Hey, I played your level and enjoyed what I could get through. However, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get past a certain part of the level. Was I missing something obvious? I snapped a picture of the spot:

I'll play it again if I can figure that spot out.
