Win XP in a new site contest!

Archive: 71 posts


http://linque.pp.fi/LBP/treetopsneak7.jpg


We've got a new contest going based on a fantastic level made by Linque! Treetop Escape is a fun, points-based level where the challenge is simple: collect as many points as possible. There's points high and low, there's hidden points and secret areas with more points, it's points galore! It's definitely not overdone, and it's skillfully polished and fun to play.

Read me first!


Competition is open between 21st of December to 4th of January (Two weeks, Sunday to Sunday).
Players play through the level, competing for the high score.
Players are judged by the scoreboard in the level after the competition closes.
The top scores will be updated at LBPC every couple of days, so players don't have to go to the level to see their standing.
The following players tested the level, and due to such are ineligible to take part in the contest: LBPC Staff, Linque, Conall-Star.

Prizes!

First Place: Bragging rights, 750xp & optionally Gold Status
Second Place: 500xp & optionally Silver Status
Third Place: 350xp & optionally a Custom Title
Fourth, Fifth Place: 250xp
Sixth thru Tenth Place: 150xp

I made a very small aesthetic tweak to the level just now - when you reach the finish, you'll see green leds to the right of the scoreboard - these indicate which of the bonus areas you have reached. If one or more of the LEDs are not lit, you know you haven't reached all of the secret/bonus areas of the level.2008-12-21 21:52:00

Very good Idea my friend, this should be fun

OOOIIIITTTTT lol
You haven't got the skills needed to finish it lol
Though only about 6 people (out of over a 1000 plays) in the world have been able to finish it
Me, Stix and Creative are 3 of them

This is a great idea. Not really much of a point in anyone else entering as I'll get first and my other accounts will get 2nd-10th place.

Wow, this level is amazing and CC. You should really do this more often, levels that are as awesome as this, and have as much bubbles and points as this, should always get something like this. It gets sooo much more replayability. I'm on my 4th run, and this is probably the only level I've actually commited suicide to get points lmao.

But yeah, just my 2 cents, great work Linque.

EDIT: Lovin those LED lights btw, I've missed like 3 or 4 can't find them though. Oh and nice job Conall-Star for those balancing platforms. Very nice!


Woot! Second place!

If this goes well, we'll be glad to do this more often. Linque made a great level, and this is another great way to promote fantastic levels and get the community involved at the some time.

Total.... Well, since Linque himself is in 1st, with a total of 40k points. He's kind of exempt from the contest so I am technically in 1st. In total of course.

Made one more update - put a treasure chest sticker next to the LEDs so everyone can understand what the LEDs mean, and put numbers alongside the LEDs so you know which bonus area number you are missing. Also fixed LED number 5 being always lit even if you didn't visit the secret area.

Also, just as a fun fact, I'd say the absolute maximum points you can get in the level is about 50k.

Yea I'm loving this idea, it was fun to see it pop up on the front page soon as I got to the site

I am so going for it, but one question, How are you going ot know what scores we all got? i did not know there was a way to do such a thing unless you have us bring the score to you or you have asked MM to get info on such a thing. Please explain.

Cheers!

Anybody can look at the scoreboard by either completing the level or going through the level info.

Hmm. I suppose you could always - for safe measure - take a picture of your score before stepping onto the scoreboard.

Is it after the bit where you grab onto a sponge with a grab switch on it and it brings you straight down? I noticed some a fireball there which is out of the way.

All I'll say is count the treasure chests.
(and that the fireball there is just a remnant of a different section I used to have there)

Do you think I should remove the fireball, if it's causing too much confusion? It doesn't really have any function there.

This level is really good and looks wonderful
Them rope bridges are VERY frustrating LOL

I only got time to try it out a couple of times last night and didn't finish it
I'll try again later tonight when I finally get the chance to get on my PS3

Very cool level, and the challenges go along well with the point collecting. I do think however that the bridges need a bit of work. Many time i fell through them where it was just between planks, not holes.2008-12-23 15:45:00

I'm pretty satisfied with how the bridges feel. They're so fluid and lively this way, even if they are a bit fidgety.

Here's the current top 10 leaderboard of the level (all players included, even those not eligible (me), or those who aren't LBPC members):



- 46 723 - Sir_Linque
- 42 410 - The_Killian
- 38 292 - deboerdave
- 33 435 - SeparateEntity
- 31 915 - RedSoakedSponge
- 26 493 - gevurah22
- 24 782 - sjbluedog24
- 17 667 - Capt_Mhead
- 17 350 - joeandbob22
- 16 313 - Kaarlo


Which brings me to a question - do we have a problem getting the LBPC top 10, because I don't know how I'm able to see the whole scoreboard. Looking at the level info, I can only see the top 10 overall. Is there some way to look at places 11-20 or further down the board?

Maybe try get a score close to the tenth to see the others?

Is deboerdave a member of LBPC? If not I'm winning.

You're not winning atm.

EDIT: plus, there's still almost two weeks of time left.



Linque, how many plays have you got on it?

Currently I think it was about 640. I doubt it'll ever reach the big numbers that some levels do, unless I publish loads of more high quality levels and get some recognition. But my levels aren't really that spectacular or stand out too well, they're much closer to traditional platforming levels than those that get the 'oohs' and 'aahs'.

@Clank: The level has like 700 plays.

Killian beat my score. I couldn't let him take the #1 spot from the author that easily, so the new Author score to beat is 46 732. While it's not a perfect score, I will seriously applaud anyone who beats it, it'll be VERY difficult to do that. Breaking 50k (which might be possible with a perfect run) would mean that you really are a platforming god.

But congrats to Killian being the first ever to break 40k on the level!

Need to check this level out and see how I can do. Great idea to generate excitement about a level. There are so many great levels out there that don't get played.

I'll give it a shot ASAP.

Here's the current leaderboard for the competition (January 1st):

NOTE:
I'm unable to confirm whether places 10-12 are correct, as I've no way of checking the any other scores than those of the people on my PSN friends list and the overall top 10 of the level. Also, I'm not sure if the following players are a part of LBPC: sjbluedog24, Capt_Mhead, joeandbob22, Kaarlo. Everyone else I'm certain of.

uh oh, umm... hey guys, my friend did it with me but left in the VERY beginning, meaning we did not even start to collect prize bubbles and i just got my best score yet, my score is under 2 player, and it is 34,842 i hope this still counts, but look it up and what i tell you is true, and i got the 1st place spot in the 2 player, i will keep trying in the first player one, and try and beat this one, i sure hope i do, but if i do not then here it is for you.

Cheers!

EDIT: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I HAD 45grand and it said uploading score failed THAT SUCKS SO MUCH, it was a perfect run with no lives lost, :sigh: i hope i can do it again, but if that happens to me again, grrr, you do not want to know.

Cheers :grumble:

EDIT: well i just got 41grand and it took it this time, but Killian i am coming after you buddy, and maybe even Linque.

Cheers!

EDIT: just reached 43,096 sorry Killian, but it had to be done i was not able to get back up to my 45 thousand but that is probobly because i forgot to go to area 5, and because i messed up and missed area 6. but i will try again to see if i can improve. oh and i died once.

Cheers!



YEEEEESSSSSSS! HHAHAHAHA I just matched my 45thousand score with, 45,786, and Linque, AWESOME level, the secret areas were a nice touch, and the bridges offered a bit of difficulty, you just need to remember to try and not land in between to of the supports. (it only took like 40-50 trys <_<)

Cheers!
