A cute, fairly easy, visually nice level. It has some nice ideas, and it all has a good solidity to it. And I do like the frog hunt... Just gotta do a little more with it! Put in some more hard-to-reach frogs along the way... Heck, pack the level with frogs, so it becomes a competition in multiplayer mode!

There are some small problems. The level design is a little cluttered in places, and you wind up just randomly pushing in directions to see where you can go. There are a couple of blind leaps, which don't really have any point to them, and on a whole there's just a little too much simple walking about doing not much at all here and there. More frogs or score bubbles would be nice, since it gives you something to DO in those sections.

It's a good framework for something better! It just needs More

I will end this by pointing out one little problem with the one actually hard-to-reach frog: When you bounce up to get it, instead of grabbing the frog, the Sackboy will instead grab the stuff BEHIND the frog and hang on. Remove some of the background, and it becomes a fun little extra challenge that's actually doable.

F4F: I've got three levels out: "Big Darn Wheels Inc.", "Hobo Wizard" and "Hobo Warrior". Pick any one of'em! Though as silly as the storyline is, "Hobo Warrior" still makes more sense if you've already played "Hobo Wizard"

Fine level, nice atmosphere and music. I suggest changing those flying leaves' death type to shrink, because their current dissapear looks a little awkward.2012-02-09 23:32:00

Great attention to detail! And NICE MUSIC I might add

And as Neji said above, tweak those leaves a bit since they make the great atmosphere go away instantly xD

They stay the same so don't worry. Often times a good level takes several tweaks after publishing, so don't worry.
I'll play this level next time I have a chance.

I completely forgot that I left my song in there. Glad to hear that people like it.

As for the level, I'm obviously going to be a bit biased since I was involved in the creation of it, but I urge everyone to give it a chance. The art style Niki has shown here has a very strange yet unique charm to it.

The Sky Ruins,that's a good name you find,really good music...
I had mainly two sections where I was a bit lost.At the start, to jump first time on bumpers it will rather be better with a camera view down on it and at the end, there is at scenery scene with a bumper and with no explanation, did I missed something? The other camera views are good.
Your scenery is great,I love details and if you please try my level you will see my style in a town.

I liked the froghunt :-)
The scenery is beautifull and it's not to hard to reach the end.
Some camera action could help not to die at the first dowenjump

The leaves are funny. Every leave disapperas at the moment it reached me. I thought to my self: Do I smell so bad? Why do the leaves disappear by reaching me
The music for sure is great and well choosen.

Overall it's wort a play and a YAY!

F4F: If you like try out this one. I would appreciate it if you play it, but it doesn?t matter if you don't play one of my levels. I do not insist in F4F
