Story:
Not much of a story,
Just a small-ish level I made for the younger lbp kids as most of my normal levels are too hard or confusing for most younger lbplayers

YT movie: (will arrive shortly!)


type of level:
Simple platformer


Note:
the level took me 18 hours to create (minus some food/drink breaks)
And consists out of 3 different themes.
A lush forest, a hidden temple and the magical sky.
I know that especially the sky might not fit the overall theme but imho it does add a nice contrast and variation to the level.
When working on the cloud-section I almost forgot there was a lush forest and temple underneath it all


Enjoy!
Any comments, reviews and head-up's for problems in-game are appreciated!

Really like the visuals...kids should love this. I'm hardly a kiddy but I may need to take a closer look at that sky! How'd you do the pink sky/cloud background...sticker panel?2012-02-09 22:02:00

Yes, Yes, YES!!! Finally another creation (I haven't been paying much attention, so I might be wrong) expertly made by the one and only Luos_83. The design looks fantastic and I can't wait to play this masterpiece! 2012-02-09 22:04:00

Wow! Your really pumping out these levels!
I REALLY enjoyed this one. Theres nothing like a nice kid friendly platformer every once in ahwile to draw inspiration from. Oh, and do us all a favour; Make every level you create this quickly from now on!

Great level, simple, easy, fun, somewhat magic, heart relieving.
Nice job Lu

Hmm, interesting.
I'll be sure to give it a go some time.

EDIT:
Played it.
That drop into the spikes is BS (imo), and a bit of a cop out on the "pull the switch and the steps come up" bit (unless that was meant to be ironic).
Beautiful as always, but just because it's a level for kids, doesn't mean you have to simplify everything.

But I'm not a kid anymore (cries a little bit), so I can't really judge.

Very nice level, Luos. Of course, I do enjoy your true, story driven levels more, but this was quite a beautiful "I'm back" level for us to play. C:

Also, what pack is the green foliage decoration from? The little, green "puffs" all over the first picture. . .

I didn't have time to leave a review on the actual level, since I was playing multiplayer. So I'm going to leave one here!

I thought the level was really fun, and great for all ages! The gameplay was good, as well as the details. I can't wait until you put out your next level and I hope it will be as fun as this one, or maybe even more fun! Keep up the good work.

@piglabing > its the brocolli deco from the move pack.

@heist > big drop?
And yes, the pull switch and raise platforms was a bit of an insider joke
Also, I do think simplifying things for youngsters isnt a bad thing, ive spectated quite some youngsters playing this level and some of my others as well and besides a few talented kids most dont play games as good as we did back in the NES era.
If anybody want more of a challenge there are 6m+ other levels they can try
This one was for the young and the not-so good players.

In a few days I will release another kiddy platformer which is sliiiightly more challenging than this one but still focussed on the youngest of lbp players.
Not sure what I am gonna do after that but it will be something completely different

Heres a sneakpeak of the next kiddy level:

Love your levels dude. And LOVE it when good creators make kid levels. I'm always looking for stuff my daughter can play, but they're rarely worth it and often too difficult or poorly designed.

THANKS!
