Pooptopia:Adventure in the land down under
Archive: 25 posts
Yes, your mother warned you, and it finally happened. You slipped and fell into the toilet. Who knew that what lied beneath was a wonderful world of wonder... and well, it stinks too. You see, beneath the pipes is Pooptopia, the happy land of poo. That was until the Evil General Hemmy Roid and his army of troll rolls invaded. Will you just sit idly by, or will you join the pooptopians WIPE out their arch nemesis? This is a One Player platformer because it's heavily decorated, and some obstacles are hard with multiplayer. With all the beautiful Nature levels corrupting the community, I thought I'd do the opposite. But hey, who says poo can't be pretty too? As they say, Doody is in the eye of the beholder!

oh my word, you weren't kidding. You did make this. I'm on it like stink on...well poop I guess. queued. | 2012-09-01 05:27:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
Well this level was poop. (No pun intended.) The obstacles weren't very organised. The checkpoints were badly placed. The toilet roll vehicle was hard to control. You used WAY to many glitches. The music was horrible. Dub-step and LMFAO And you can escape the level at the beginning by going right. :1 I suppose the decoration is good but the gameplay needs to be better... | 2012-09-01 19:54:00 Author: Jovuto Posts: 2345 |
Strangely enough, this almost looks appetizing, if you imagine it to be chocolate and take no account of the title. | 2012-09-01 20:23:00 Author: Oddmania Posts: 1305 |

Thanks Jaruto, please don't hold back. I would take these comments seriously if they weren't one sentance gripes. The obstacles weren't organized? That's a new one. They are one after another, how did you want them organized, by alphabetical order? The check points were horrible....as in there's one before every obstacle? The toilet roll vehicle is gravity based, so ...did you want a steering wheel or something? I used way too many glitches? Is there a set ratio for glitches in a level I don't know about? How much is too much, enlighten me. If you don't like dub-step, thats fine. No everybody has good taste. You can escape the level through the left, not right. Thanks for playing! | 2012-09-01 20:41:00 Author: kaiju_kid Posts: 329 |

Thanks for playing! 1: okay I can't really explain how it was unorganised it jut felt frustrating to play. Sorry. :1 2: I'm saying that the checkpoints were too far away from each other and this also made the level frustrating. 3: It was hard to control. I can't phrase it better than that. :1 4: There isn't a "set ratio" to how many glitches you can use but it makes the level unstable and buggy. 5: Dub-step doesn't suit this level and also you need to make your own music or used pre made music. I've heard enough of LMFAO from the Mortal Kombat levels on the cool levels page. 6: My mistake. | 2012-09-01 23:55:00 Author: Jovuto Posts: 2345 |
Well, I don't know what to say. I tried making something different and original, but I guess the fact that it's not another copied LatinPlayer level has left people baffled. I'll admit platforming is not my strong suit, but this level is far from crap as you put it. I'm sick of armchair critics just throwing out insults to the few creators who even try in this community. I only have one more level to put out, and I'm leaving this place.I created a world, with characters, cut scenes and humor. It's somethng one can say they've never seen before on LBP, and the best you can say is that it had decent decoration, but that's all. Maybe I should have made a level with bushes and flowers like the masses. I'm not above constructive feedback, as I've made numerous edits suggested on other forums and republished four times today alone. But what's it all for seriously. | 2012-09-02 01:40:00 Author: kaiju_kid Posts: 329 |
Darn, I was making a poo level. We had a similar palette (and similar decorations), but I started it a while back, so don't think that I ripped you off if I actually get to releasing it soon. As for this level, it could be much better. I generally have the same complaints as Joruto but I'll go into more detail so I don't get a condescending reply. To start off the visuals were incredibly bland. You have huge chunks of material and hardly any stickers or decorations, which results in the level feeling empty. Coupled with the fact that you used the extra layer glitch it just feels incredibly empty and unnecessarily large. Maybe it's just personal preference, but it'd be better if you made it smaller scale and more detailed. Another nitpicky thing is that there are some decorations (mostly pipes) just appearing out of nowhere. It'd be better if there was some sort of logical organization behind it rather than it just being there. The obstacle where pee flies at you from the background was cool, but that's about it. No I'm not into watersports, but thanks for offering level! The gameplay was actually sorta kinda maybe decent, but there are some issues with cameras and a lack of instruction. How was I supposed to know that the bouncing pee thing would kill me if it wasn't visibly lethalised? Also, the rolling poo obstacle's camera was zoomed too far out, and towards the top of the screen I couldn't see that you had to jump to change layers, which resulted in a cheap death. A checkpoint halfway through the obstacle would be very beneficial. The toilet paper obstacle wasn't bad, but because of the platform placement at the top I shifted too early, which resulted in me falling to the ground. I didn't get much farther than that, but for what I saw the gameplay could be much more polished. I did like the enemies though, pretty unique. The gameplay wasn't bad, but it could be much more polished and original. I also don't see why it's single player only, as this could be much more multiplayer friendly with better cameras. The humor could have been much better. I'm not going to analyze why parts of it aren't funny because that would make me the most boring person alive, but the humor seemed to be really shallow. The extent of the humor was that the level was poo, the characters were butts and the enemies were toilet paper. It just feels as if you could have done so much more with your setting, but you didn't. The music is also really grating, but that's mostly because it doesn't fit with the theme. I appreciate you for trying something different, but just because it's better than the standard cool pages tripe doesn't mean that it's an excellent level. If it were better looking and more polished I'd probably yay it, but as it stands it's pretty mediocre. I'll play it again later. | 2012-09-02 02:16:00 Author: bonner123 Posts: 1487 |
Bonner I'm shocked that you left a long, well worded feedback here, because on the level thread you did what all the others did , and just trolled. "This level looks like crap, the music is crap, and the humor is crap. My level will be better" This is not your exact quote, by I deleted it so you'll excuse me if I didn't quote it correctly. While your explainations are valid, they are subjective. It's funny because I just read your own new thread earlier today, and you yourself were complaining that people are just trolling your new level, even though it's awesome. I haven't played it, but who is to say they are wrong? Because it's your level right? You think you made the best level to your ability as I did mine, but some jerks have just come along and made thier opinion that it's flawed. But to respond to your feedback, the level is not over decorated becuase it's a long level with two times the obstacles, characters, and cutscenes within one level than your average level. The thermo is maxed out, and decorations are not at the top of my list of priorities when telling a story. Which brings me to your next complaint about the humor. It's a cute level about the world of poop, not Shakespear in the park. The world of poop being invaded by toilet paper troops was not clever huh? The fact that there's a poop military driving a toilet shaped tank was not funny? If you are indeed making a similar level, I can't wait for you to show me how to do proper poop comedy. I'm sure it will be smart and witty with the poops wearing monacles and drinking tea. I do appreciate the tips, but I won't be around much longer so pass it on to the next creator.

Kaiju. Don't listen to them. your levels are always amazing. Your potty humor is what makes you unique in your own way. I've always loved your movies and your levels. I'm actually in the process of starting a platformer series if your interested, i'd love to have your touch. | 2012-09-02 03:33:00 Author: curtislarkin Posts: 157 |
Calm down man! Your level does have potential you just need to keep trying! Like I said the decoration was pretty good! Keep it up! (But please don't put LMFAO or Dub-Step in your next level) | 2012-09-02 13:26:00 Author: Jovuto Posts: 2345 |

Cheers I know that my level's good because it has inventive and polished gameplay, clean, good looking visuals and decent humor. If it didn't I wouldn't have released it. Is it the best level ever? Heck no, but it's still good at the very least. All of the troll reviews stated nothing critical in the slightest. And don't worry, the humor is mostly personal preference. Mine is insanely low brow too, but it's just more based on the reaction of characters than the fact that the level's poo. When I say shallow, I don't necessarily mean dumb. I think it's clever, but much more can be done to it. And if the thermo's maxed out, why couldn't you just use level links? By the way, have you ever played Conker's Bad Fur Day? | 2012-09-02 18:06:00 Author: bonner123 Posts: 1487 |
Calm down man! Your level does have potential you just need to keep trying! Like I said the decoration was pretty good! Keep it up! (But please don't put LMFAO or Dub-Step in your next level) You don't even have a single level made in LBP2, so don't give out creation advice. When you've worked on a level and face the difficulty of making something fresh and original in terms of theme and gameplay in a community that has millions of levels made, then come talk to me. I have changed the music to some tunes by Weirdybeardy so quit posting on my thread.

You know Bonner, you seem like a legit guy whom could be a positive personality in the community, but gravitate to being a bully online. If you'd leave constructive feedback online as you have here, people would be more supportive of your work. You've left messages on my other work as well, and they're always negative. You get what you give as they say. As a result, I'ne never played anything by you, and probably never will. I've only been to your planet to see who this person is who keeps bashing me. I feel like you probably are talented and know what entails a good level, but all that goes out the window when you comment like a common thug. I'm not above suggestions, I have changed the music, but because others have told me nicely elsewhere. I wish you success on your other endeavors and hope you see that being positive yields poitive results. | 2012-09-02 19:20:00 Author: kaiju_kid Posts: 329 |
Hey buddy! Hahaha! Dude this level is great. I don't see what all the negative feedback is about. The art style is perfect for a level about poop. The gameplay is great too. You say platforming is not your strong suit, but I have always thought your gameplay stands out. Every level I have ever played by you except your movies have great obstacles and are always a fun and an entertaining romp. Your story telling is always top notch too. You have a great sense of humor buddy! Let the haters hate, but understand... you have a huge following of fans who will always be eager to play anything you make. I hope to see you on the vita in a couple weeks. Hearted. | 2012-09-02 19:37:00 Author: VelcroJonze Posts: 1305 |

You are right I haven't made any LBP2 levels! But what does that have to do with anything? I know how to create a good level and unlike you I can take constructive criticism! so quit posting on my thread. Jeez... | 2012-09-02 22:00:00 Author: Jovuto Posts: 2345 |

Wow, I'd hate to see your unconstructive criticism. Now go away, I told you to stop posting on my thread. Dimissed. Good day. | 2012-09-02 22:16:00 Author: kaiju_kid Posts: 329 |
THIS IS YOUR EXAMPLE OF CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM? Uh... Yeah... :1 Wow, I'd hate to see your unconstructive criticism. I actually give positive feedback on levels a lot!

It seems I've been falling in and popping out of toilets since the very early days of LBP1...sometimes after being swallowed and journeying through the digestive tract...sometimes it's just straight down the pan and flushed into action. One thing that seems to be common among these levels is they are meant to be light hearted fun not a magnus opus or work of artistic revelation. Playing this level I passed a happy, yet undeniably stinky ten minutes among the citizens of Pooptopia! Having a serious debate about the various artistic merits/technical flaws of this level is like discussing the socio-philosophical impact of an episode of spongebob squarepants! Overall good light-hearted fun absolutely.... http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo195/liampatrickberry/poop.jpg | 2012-09-02 23:49:00 Author: EnochRoot Posts: 533 |
Hey this level was great I don't know what all the fuss is about. I found it to be a lengthy (compared to others), well designed platformer, I don't think it needs any extra "polish". The idea I thought was very unique and the gameplay was almost great. The reason I said almost is that for most of the obstacles I didn't know what anything did or what was coming up - like the long slide into a bounce pad, I missed grabbing the rolls as there was no indication to grab, say after you hit the bounce pad, the rest was similar, other than that it was good. Oh, I never got to finish is as nothing happened after I defeated general what's-his-face. I ran left, right, hit the button a few times and checked back through the level and there was nowhere to go. I assumed the door the to right of the boss area was supposed to open but it never did for me. Overall a great level and a yay from me. | 2012-09-03 15:21:00 Author: Robo_Ranger Posts: 18 |
Sounds pooptacular! Wish I could play it, but my disc drive is pretty much dead. If you're going to do anything creative and make it public then you got to have a thicker skin than this. I like your levels and so do many others. You're not gonna quit LBP just because some people don't like your levels are you? Sometimes certain criticisms can be annoying and unproductive though, particularly when it comes to decoration. Some people really just value graphics over everything else and don't understand we like to use our limited thermo for other things and without having our level spill over into another slot just for the sake of pretty pictures. I rarely see criticisms of levels that are packed with deco and not much else or levels that are so packed with deco it actually causes screen tearing and framerate issues. I'm stuck poking around on LBP.me but it looks like the reviews alone will make this level entertaining. How was I supposed to know pee is lethal! The camera is too far away from the poop! The toilet roll is too hard to control! lmao Hopefully I'll get to play levels again soon. It's nice to know there's some good **** waitin for me. | 2012-09-03 16:18:00 Author: Reef1978 Posts: 527 |
I'm don't know english... but I'm afraid that I understand what means "poop" :hero: This goes immediately into my queue for the mere fact that you have published a level on this theme | 2012-09-03 19:37:00 Author: Art-in-Heart Posts: 43 |
The wife and I had a blast playing through this level. It was quite funny and a challenge to play through. I do suggest adding a few more checkpoints here and there though. I found myself having to redo large chunks of somewhat difficult obstacles because we died just short of the next checkpoint. We also had to give up in the area shown below. The bad guy wedged himself and we couldn't get through. I also didn't spot the "weak point" on that particular baddie. Let me know when that spot is fixed and we'll give it another run through. http://i5.lbp.me/img/ft/965c592dbc2ba1cfceb3e2e0ec46d689ff07b930.jpg | 2012-09-03 22:41:00 Author: Unknown User |

I assumed the door the to right of the boss area was supposed to open but it never did for me. Overall a great level and a yay from me. Hmm, don't know what happened there. You're right, the door opens automatically after you beat the boss. I haven't replayed it online, but looking at lbp.me, I see some players scored so it must be working to some extent. Maybe it just glitched? I'll check it out asap. Sounds pooptacular! Wish I could play it, but my disc drive is pretty much dead.

I have thick skin, and I ignore bad comments more than you know. My levels have 50, 000 plus plays as I've been in LBP going on well, I dunno three and a half years or whatever. Basically I've never left since lbp1 launched and I've had bad comments up the ying yang. I can roll with the punches as much as the next creator, but It just gets exhausting hearing people throw insults on a whim for a few seconds of laughter they think they may get from readers. Mind you, laughter they don't even hear. This is running rampant in the community, and nobody does or say anything about it. This is why the majority of well liked creators have left or are leaving. I am not a noob, and I won't let anyone treat me as such. Like a scene out of Lord of the Rings, the trolls are at the gates and I'm gonna take down as many as I can before I leave for the shire.

Never knew that could happen, as I didn't think the enemy would roll up that ledge. I will address this tonight, so give it awhirl maybe tomorrow. UPDATE: Should be fixed now, I just moved the roll to the next layer so he doesn't block the path, and I added a checkpoint in the hill section, which is the longest obstacle. Thank you for helping me make this level better n better. | 2012-09-04 00:55:00 Author: kaiju_kid Posts: 329 |

We gave it another go and I see you implemented several of this forum's suggestions (extra checkpoints and that buggy enemy for starters). Great work over all. This level was a blast to play through and we were laughing throughout the whole thing. Great work! | 2012-09-10 02:19:00 Author: Unknown User |
