New level Through A Nightmare, Darkly

Archive: 6 posts


My newest level is entitled Through A Nightmare, Darkly. The title is a reference to a quest on Oblivion. It is a simple platformer, but quite fun. It made it to the 2nd page of the cool levels/pages within a day! Check it out, please! Thanks!

Queued and will give feedback soon.

And here it is. This levels simplicity is it's greatest strength and weakness. That may sound confusing but let me explain. This level has a very minimalist feel to it thanks to the striking visual design and the beautiful music, while that is totally acceptable you need to watch your pacing. By the end of the level I was kinda bored because of those plus points I mentioned. Maybe include a boss or some sort of high octane finalie to catch the player off guard and finish with a bang. Other than that I'd change the colour of the plasma as it doesn't really go with the other visuals in the level. On the whole this was a beautiful level which had echos of Limbo about it and with better pacing could be even better.

Could you give my level The Final Fanboy Hub a play and tell me what you think?

I had a go at this last night and enjoyed avery minute of it. I know it was recomended for 1 player, but I went in with a freind and it worked out fine. What I enjoyed most was the music track. I have a great deal of respect for a good original music piece...mainly because I am sooooo bad at it lol. Anyway, you pulled the whole "purple" thing off great. The platforming was challenging, but never frustrating. Seems like you hit the sweat spot with the difficulty level. I can tell that alot of time and attention to detail was put into the level, and it showed. Well done. Smiled upon and hearted.2011-08-23 12:26:00

Sure, shotgun_69, I will check out your level. Thanks for the review as well. And to Jerry, thanks for playing and hearting them. I'm glad you liked them. I'm not great with logic, but I'm getting better. I felt the music went nicely with the overall level as well. Helped the level "flow." lol2011-08-23 14:10:00

I really enjoyed the purple-ish theme of the level, but in some parts the visuals seemed a bit repetitive or bland. The gameplay was very basic and not very original, but fun to play. The part with the bubble looked really cool and was original, but was a bit slow to play.
Overall it was a good level, it just needs a bit more polish.
