The Red Survival Challenge

Archive: 5 posts


My first survival challenge I made in LBP2. Please play it and see what you think about it. This was also the first time I ever did a monochrome theme.

Heyas Fear,

i just gave your stage a go through and...well...

Ok, as a good point, you've got a nice, simple, and yet tense choice of materials and design, here. It stripped down, and to the point.

As not so good points... There's not really a lot of action going on here for a survival challenge. The pillars were just a bit to slow to make me feel particularly hemmed in...and speaking of...i don't know exactly what you wanted to indicate with the floor lights, but the pillar movement didn't seem to correspond much at all.

Still, i imagine what you've got here could be polished up into something nice...or at least painful, and that's more than can be said than most.

Yeah, I've been trying various methods to make this challenge seem fun. It's been a pain, and I have not found a single way to add more action yet. If you survive for long enough, it will get harder by getting darker and foggier, but other than that, I didn't find a single GOOD way of adding action. Thanks for the feedback though.2011-07-19 00:03:00

Well...this is just me noodling, mind you, i don't know how you've got things set up, but...you could have the pillars descend faster and stay down for a shorter duration (or start them a bit slow and speed up gradually). You could have floor panels become hazards (short term, but with the duration increasing, perhaps).

i think you want to find a way to keep it short, because survival challenges tend to boil down to a single, repetitive action in a limited area, and outside of die-hards who really want a super high score, most people are going to get tired of an SC, even a really good one, relatively quickly.

i think a bit more on this, but at the moment i have to get off to work.

Ah! i amost forgot! If you'd like to leave feedback for me, you can put it in here: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=59257-Bloomin-Oni-Ons! Thanks!

Good day and great creating!

I have improved the difficulty by shortening the amount of time it takes to reach the next level of difficulty. Try it and tell me what you think.2011-08-21 20:51:00
