first, it's great to have here, welcome to LBPC!
second, you should really start a thread in the Introduce yourselves (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?6-Introduce-Yourselves) section. Make a thread there and just say Hi and maybe a little about yourself. Explore the forums and get to know people, make some friends. You might be surprised at the friends you meet here. I know I was.
Third, I give you mad props on using the LBP.me tool. Many newcomers miss it. Also, you have a great description that makes me curious and want to play the level. You might want to consider adding a few pictures to further entice the reader to queue you level.
I can tell you are excited about your level and that makes me excited as well. I have it queued and can't wait to see it.

oops! one more thing. When you make a new thread in the Level Showcase area, you are given the option to do F4F. This is simply saying that you will play someone else's posted level, come back and give feedback on it. What you liked, what you didn't like. Maybe an idea or two on how to improve it. And you're asking that they do the same for you. This is a vastly underused tool here that can help us all become better creators. If you need anything, please feel free to ask.

Wow, that level is unforgiving. A few bugs I noticed:
1) The first guy you swing across on the fire floor always dies, and always subtracts 500 points. I'm assuming he was a part of the cutscene, so just remove that 500 point penalty.
2) The gate at the end of the fire floor doesn't open fast enough sometimes, and the cutscene camera makes the jump pretty difficult. I'm glad you activated the checkpoint early, because I hit the fire a few times. Maybe put a bit of floor that isn't on fire at the end?
3) This is the biggest issue: The swinging blocks at the very end are destructible by missiles, and that means the checkpoint is no good. Out of five playthroughs, only my first was successful. Add a material tweaker to them and set them all to indestructible. Also, I would tone down the missiles a bit. It's nearly impossible to get past them, and I only won the first time because the guy flew too low and couldn't hit me.

That being said, I really like this level. It's frustratingly challenging, but in a good way. The dogs are a nice touch (and the one on his leash was clever). This is pure platforming challenge at its best. I wanted to beat your highscore, but after five tries (and four times that darn swinging block broke off at the very end), I give up.

Please F4F the level in my signature, and post in the LBPC Thread. It's my first LBP2 level, too.

adding pictures is quite simple once you get used to it. First, you need some pics.

1. Take an in-game picture, open the popit and go to stickers and deco, find your picture and press square. hit upload
2. go to your LBP.me profile, to photos, and find the picture(S) you uploaded
3. click on the picture, click it again so that it is the only thing on the page
4. in the address bar at the top of the screen, copy that URL
5. come to your thread and click on the "Insert Image" icon http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/LBPC-Style/editor/insertimage.png
6. paste your URL in the box that pops up
7. click "OK" and you are done
8. please note, where ever your you have the typing cursor in the window, that is where your picture will be.
I hope that helps you out. If you need anything, please feel free to ask.

Well, for a first level this was pretty good! Overall you've got a good, consistent tone set with the level, there's plenty of variety with it--creatinator, grappling hooks, and some bounce-pad platforming. You use your sounds effects, and there is some challenge in the level.

I did run in to one small bug, and that was that I actually swung into the helicopter, so I'd say adding something like a piece of glass over the cockpit would work well. As an aside, if you want the pilot to be visible, then placing a white sticker on the glass makes it a little more translucent, I believe.

thanks, i just fixed that, used a thin layer invisible hologram with silent plasma, so the player now cant get into the cockpit, added some sound effects and a cutscene to the final part, i will soon add a more entretaining and cinematic ending cause i think its not good right now, until then, i think it is working now2012-03-11 03:31:00

Played this last week and found it to be a fun challenging level. The hardest part I found was the section with the dogs. It's pretty tough in terms of gameplay challenge but not unfair. Nice to play a jail break type level but the story suggested in the title is really undeveloped and could do with some work to add impetus to the escape. look forward to seeing if the added cinematics boost this element.
