Hey guys, this happens to be a level collab between me and SackPapoi, it's a short and sweet story driven level, my first one and it would be great if you could check it out and critique it !Thanks!

Description: March 22nd a Miner from "O'Riley Mining Inc." never returns from his daily commute in the caverns. The other coal miners also report hearing strange noises in the caves at night. Regardless the mining operation continues day by day. One day a group of four miners take a wrong turn in the caves and find something extraordinary deep within the caverns besides the living dead of course!

1 player recommended [due to lag] but 4 player compatible.

Wow, it's hard to believe that this is actually your first level!
I played this in the dark, and for some reason it really had my heart pounding
The intro story was done very well, and you succeeded in creating a very creepy atmosphere. Great job!

Just played it...really nice job and thank you for doing a zombie level that's not just a rehash of the hundreds of survival levels out there!
Loved the opening, it sets up the story nicely and has just the right tone for the story. The sounds were great as well, some of the voice tracks were pretty creepy.

There are a few things that I think can be improved, namely the length and story. It ends rather abruptly and felt short, especially since you'd just found a new area and plot point. I'd maybe think about adding in some clues along the way to develop the story a little more or give the player something else to do inside of the maze area. Also, the game camera seemed oddly placed at a strange angle (up high and tilted down and to the right), at times jerking around as if you are trying to make the ordinary platform areas more cinematic...sometimes less is more

Anyway, I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to seeing part 2!

Thanks I was wondering if there was a level you wanted me to play?

I just played the level! It was totally wicked. Rakasa said it before I could, apparently. I''m sick of zombie levels on LBP nowadays because they're all too alike. This isn't just a "zombie level", this is a "great level with zombies". Ya know?

Can't wait for part 2!

I agree with trackrise. I'm not a fan of zombie levels, but this was actually pretty kool. The story is set in a way that the level was platform based and actually fun to explore. I would recommend adjusting your camera a little in areas that made it hard when the zombies were hard to notice until it was too late. Not sure if that was your intention. I'm curious to see where the next level takes us. Don't keep us waiting too long. Well done2012-06-25 09:33:00

Thanks a lot! I have your level queued and will play it right after work.

Ah, it wasn't really my intention honestly haha, but I'll try to fix the cameras thanks for your critique!

This was fun and creative. Not like most zombie survivals, that's a good thing. Too bad that it was so short, but it was still a fun experience playing this. It had a good sound choice and the "Help me" voice was pretty clear to hear. Next time, add more platforming in the second part, but it was very nice and a good remake of the original. I hope to see more in part 2, and I can assure it will be more scary than this 2012-06-25 23:33:00

Finally got around to my return F4F. ^^

I thought the opening was great, and the gameplay up until the metal tunnels was great. Effects and atmosphere were great. Sound effects were good. Got a little creepy at part where one broke out of you know where, but luckily the elevator went down just in time. The part with metal tunnels felt visually lacking or dull in some way. It just felt odd. I also never saw whatever that is in the 2nd picture above with that big zombie. There was also a problem at drill part after you lower the drill. I jumped to the dril and was even in same plane and something invisible in back planeshifted me and caused me to fall to death behind drill. Upon returning there with new miner it did same, which I tried a very light jump, but then put me back in front. Of course you don't have to jump there, but there's some player that will jump at the sight of any gap between 2 plats even if gap seems impossible to fall through. Just an instinctive thing. Overall it was a good level with just a few little flaws.
