Running Bot (Hard puzzle platformer)

Archive: 10 posts


In my new level, I stepped away from a true clasic platformer, and made this. Your sackbot will respond to different collored tags (yes, they are ment to be visable in play mode) Only by running into these tags that you can change the direction you can go, and what layer you can switch to. This level is all about fighting that LBP instinct and thinking on how to get across the obstical.

Absolutely awesome man!

Loved every second of this, could play it all day (can't believe it's gotten a down rate already -_- I was in 2 minds about having that function removed, now I'm glad it's going, so I don't have to experience the urge to slap idiots that don't know awesomeness when it's staring them in the face )

Clever puzzles, clean design, simple controls. A joy to play, congrats =]

bleh, forget about the boos, they will soon be a thing of the past.

Awesome level... I did get stug pretty early on, and it dis seem like a bug. The first section where you jump past a wall and then grab it to switch layers, I got stuck halfway through it as it seems the tag to swap direction to jump past the wall again and grab to end up in the front layer didn't swap me over. I tried it a few times, but no dice.

I may just be stupid though so I'll have to come bace.

Awesome stuff, very original.

first, awesome level BR12, fantastic dynamics and great level design. Very fun to play as well. I am however, stuck in the same place as fusion. I think. you run to the left then a tag changes direction and you have to jump up to grab something on the pillar. I can't for the life of me reach that grab point.2012-01-20 04:00:00

Bio, if you're where I think you are, you need to go all the way to the left. Then against the wall there are two blocks forming steps up. You grab the pads on the back wall to get onto the top step and from there you jump to the right, grabbing the pad high up on the pillar to the right. This puts you in the right layer and going in the right direction, Hope that helps.

I thought this was a brilliant level btw. The concept is really clever and original and it'used in such a varied way. I loved the subtle decoration too. Great fun to play and very satisfying each time you work out the puzzle. Fantastic job!

Sorry for the bump (havent been on lately), but i have to say that on that pillar, the grabbing point on the left side can be reached when you jump off the raised back layer. Once you go up the steps shropshireless explaned, then you can run and grab the right side of that pillar. That will get you going.

On a side note, if you happen to be running into a wall without changing directions, jumping will change the direction. If you have any more questions, feel free to pm me.

I finished it! That was awesome BR. What I was doing the first time was not noticing that the light was shining onto a grab point in order for me to shift layers. The light was a little bright and I didn't notice the grab section. Once I made it past that point it was smooth sailing. Well, bumpy sailing. I did have to catch my breath a few times. great level, I loved it. such a unique idea and a good mix of different platforming styles. And not a grapple hook in site. I loved it!2012-01-21 06:01:00
