Milk-Plus [SPOTLIGHTED]

Archive: 9 posts


If you want a level with difficult platforming, bizarre visuals, A Clockwork Orange references and a tepid announcer, then look no further!

Wow.. That was awesome..
This level contains everything I could possibly want from a level. It has a very unique look to it and the gameplay is (whilst brutally challenging) amazing. I died, and I died and yet again, I died.

BUT, and this is the important thing: I NEVER wanted to quit playing this level. And once you passed a challenge you had been stuck on for 5 minutes or so, the feeling was just amazing. I never felt this satisfaction of completing a LBP level ever before.

The only thing that kind of bugged me a little bit is the lack of checkpoints. It was quite annoying when you had three very challenging sections ahead of you with no checkpoints in between. But apart from that, everything is just brilliant.

Overall this level is just awesome. The music's great, the art style is very unique and vibrant and it plays like a charm. This is definitely one of the best levels I've played in quite a while and I'd love to see a sequel.

One final note, as soon as I completed this level, my PS3 froze. That is why I didn't heart it. But I will the next time I'm online.

''You're Winner!'' xD

I played this with Sadsack101 last night and his tags and comment showed up, but mine didn't! My review, which it turns out was of the Easier Version, was along the lines of "Excruciatingly difficult by design -- the best kind of difficult!" Playing 2P was wonderfully fun, we had a second soundtrack going of *whreeiiiikkkkk!* noises from all the electrocution. A joy to play. Really had a blast. No advice, just glad to play it, and wanted to say so! Will write it on the level proper, again, and hope it takes. 2011-08-17 03:26:00

I'm more of a quitter type, but your level is very well designed. I don't think the difficulty should be scaled at all, but I wonder if you'd be willing to add cues.

Take the rotating bounce pad chains. What about making each obstacle flash for a tenth of a second when it hits its sweet spot? I suppose this removes difficulty in a sense, but it doesn't help the player make the jumps. I only offer the suggestion because I enjoyed dying on the obstacles more when I understood what I was supposed to do, but just couldn't yet. For me, I started seeing each new chain as "here comes 5 deaths before I even see what's happening."

Please understand, this level is great. I'm just trying to bridge the gap between gamers who are more like me, and gamers who are more "zakko", like arbiekko up there. But I know that sometimes catering to me isn't the point.

Update after a year:
-Better voice acting courtesy of SLS10
-Made the level less frustrating and luck based
-More checkpoints
-Angry mode featuring awesome music by iinov8
-made less laggy

Now the level is actually tolerable.

I played it together with three friends!
That wasn't easy
But wow: we had so much fun and we never wanted to quit this challenge. And finally (after aprox 45 minutes) we finished it succesfully

Very good level

yeah this level is wicked and mean - and awesome!

The music is the greatest track ever - what is it?

Gameplay was super challenging but very satisfying and whole look is original and cool - great street art style in the background.

The controlinator jumps were different - not seen these before.

I love a nd challenge and the level was very well crafted requiring split second timing. Felt a littl ebit luck based at times but i think this could be reduced if the level had 2 or 3 less obstacles. There are several bits which are almost the same and, given each one takes between 0 and 20 deaths, thought it would be better to get to the more different ones sooner.

Still, overall, fantastic level and a great challenge. well done!

It was all worth it for the 'You're Winner' at the end. genius
