CatastropheWoodburyRaider/WoodburyRaiderhttp://i56.tinypic.com/2924qc3.jpgA global crisis left you searching for answers. Try and piece everything together in the snowy mountains of Russia.

WoodburyRaider's presentation in 'Catastrophe' is astounding. It's a perfect blend of gorgeous visuals, engaging gameplay, and RPG-like elements that add immense replay value; you just don't see this stuff often on the PSP. To take a snowy unique walk away from the norm, Catastrophe is one not to miss.
The snowy peaks of Russia aren't usually the most inviting places in the world, but Woodbury has managed to turn them into a wonderful playground for sackboy with his gameplay. Furthermore it's a feast for the eyes as the visuals are very complementary to this excellent level. It may not be winter yet, but grab your snow boots and take a hike thorough this wonderful level.

World War III: Part II 10/02/11
A global crisis left you searching for answers. Try and piece everything together in the snowy mountains of Russia.

Try the latest installment in my World War III series. Brand new emitter aesthetics, challenging platforming, and the next chapter of a story make this my favorite level yet. Find the secret sticker switches to unlock hidden areas and raise your high score to the top.

Awesome! I think it's a real improvement so hopefully you'll like it.


D: I got killed by a bomb before getting to the scoreboard

I'm sorry to hear that you couldn't ace it. You were still able to finish though, right? I originally had the bombs flying twice as fast and three times as many, but I figured that was too much. The trick is to just stay on the far right in the rocket.

Haha I don't know man. I hope you like it.

Actually? I suppose I could remove the bombs especially if it only has three stars. Lag though? I honestly didn't notice any in every play test, but maybe that's because it used to have so much that I'm used to it.

I played this level a few times, and while I did like it, I think the lag was the biggest issue I had with it. I have LBP as a downloaded game rather than a UMD, so I don't know if that is a factor at all. But it did feel like the level was pretty sluggish. It was a bit frustrating getting hit with the bombs inside the rocket too. Sometimes whatever launched them was a good shot and managed to get the bombs THROUGH THE HOLE in the rocket. I almost wondered if I was making the wrong choice taking the rocket given how consistent getting killed was on my first few playthroughs. >.> Other than that, I don't know if it was just me, but I felt like this level was shorter than the first one by comparison, but maybe it was just that less was going on story-wise? I dunno.

I gave the level :star::star::star::star: but I think with some tweaking it can easily be a 5 star level.

Yikes! I'll work on the update tonight, but I doubt there will be a way to reduce the lag considering I already did as much as possible. I realized the length could bother some people, but it's really a personal preference and I thought it was an impressive feat considering I've never made such a lengthy level without going off topic.


Same as Unknown 2... Too laggy and hard to go further

What happened to our community's willpower? It's as if you guys are lazy! Now I know for certain it's possible to get through the level without any flaws in the logic, so unless you want an easy breezy level like the first, I think the challenge is a nice touch.


Played again... Geez! Woodbury please make the update! There is too much lag!

The only thing I'd be able to change would be reducing the frequency the bombs emit or removing them altogether. Everything already has sensors hooked up and the emitters dissolve after checkpoints have been hit. Oops, I've revealed too many of my secrets...

I definitely agree that there was a little less story, but this is because I tried to be as clear as possible to develop it. I'm shocked though that you felt it was short since others have said it was long. Thanks so much for the feedback, it really helps me a lot.

I'll update the level tonight by removing the bombs at the end. I'll see what I can do with the lag, but I'm not making any promises there. I forgot how unnoticeable lag can be when you've been creating with it for too long. Thanks again for the feedback everyone.

Double post for double win.

I republished the level. Let's just say I'm confident with the idea of you guys telling me and everyone else how you feel about the change. Enjoy.


-No lag.
-Adjusted camera zones.
-Enhanced gameplay.
-New background.
-New combos.
-Minor material changes.
-Minor aesthetic enhancements.

More feedback! :eek:

The goods:
- stunning visuals and excellent corner editing
- moral moments
- well designed characters
- good story
- prizes!

The Bad:
- there are still some lagging sections
- the flashing screen at the start doesn't look good (lag #1)
- there wasn't much action for a world war level
- oh noes! I jumped on the other side of the rocket! What can I do now? Level not aced?
- rocket start in slow motion! (lag #2)
- I thought that coal has a black color

The most Confusing:
- but... but where is that sticker switch?
- save Samantha and get caught or run away and also get caught?

Overall Rating: :star::star::star::star::star: (well this level wasn't better than part 1 but it's still awesome)

Awesome. I'll just go straight to "The Bads."

The lag at the beginning was going to happen regardless, so I was fine with that in the final version. As for the flickering, I didn't really like it, but I wanted to show it off since you can do some pretty neat things with it.

Also, there wasn't any action because the war hasn't hadn't started yet. Don't worry, action is on its way (hence the name Conflict).

Rockets do start in slow motion! Haha I know it probably doesn't look like it, but it is run on a timer that launches after three or so seconds to add to the effect.

The coal is in rocks, that, uhh, you have to pick it out of.

As for the confusing portions:

More like where are the sticker switches... Like this one did, the next level will reveal the locations of the last. (Hint hint...Crisis' sticker switch is mentioned toward the end). I'll just say, there's something really special if you can spam find them.

Sadly, the thermo wouldn't allow me to add in the necessary logic to make there be a change in speech bubbles or story. I guess the moral of the story here is that sometimes your decisions don't make a difference.

...will edit with quotes later today.

Pretty neat effect eh? I even set up extra sticker switches that only play fart noises when hit by spammers like CyberSora. XD

Awesome review! I'm glad you liked it. The Conflict level you saw was obviously in a pretty early stage, but luckily you weren't able to see the best part which was hidden up high out of view.

Thanks for the feedback! You do know there was an update awhile back that eliminated all of those bads, right? Try the no lag and no bombs version.

Just a quick reminder:

In case you didn't know (or notice), at the end of Catastrophe, Aunt Samantha tells you where the secret sticker switch is in the first level Crisis. I'll be revealing Catastrophe's secrets in the same way with the next levels.

Nice copy and paste. I can't wait for your review.

For anyone who is wondering, I've been caught up with LBP2 recently, getting really far on my level there. I'm sure I'll find a way to get frustrated with that create mode and will be back to PSP in no time. =]
