STARLIGHT (http://lbp.me/v/fd2gq-)

When I first heard Festerd_Jester’s new song “Starlight”, I knew right away that it was something special and that I wanted to build to it. This level has lots of lights and fun and hopefully unexpected visuals for the player as they race their way to the finish to reach that high score. Level may be a bit tricky on first play, as several actions require the player to think fast, but once you get it down you should have a lot of fun sailing through this modern spaced themed platformer.

Unlike most fast-platformers, it actually brings a few new ideas to the mix. Shocking no? I really like how you used the jetpack jumps as they very fun and smooth... when they worked. There was one point where it was a bit unpolished (namely after the long jetpack track thing or whatever you want to call it) and it took me several tries to get it right, with me succeeding after holding X and R1 at the same time. This resulted in a weird sound glitch that involved the jetpack boost sound playing for the rest of the level. That's not your fault and more of a fault with the game, so I wouldn't worry about that. The gameplay is slick and smooth, and it's pretty fun despite all the "press X to not die" moments. There are a couple of unique ideas such as the attract-o-gel doors and the aforementioned jetpacks. There are a couple of moments where the gameplay doesn't work as well as it could, and sections where I died because of things not working properly.

The style itself is nice. It's simple and stylish, and it works well with the level. Nothing ever seemed bland or ugly, despite the sparse decoration. There are a couple of issues with the checkpoints as they are in some pretty weird places. The only one that I really think needs to be addressed is the one prior to the jetpack track. Every time you die on the obstacles after it, you need to go through the ten second track again. I know the player needs momentum, but the ten second wait really kills the flow of an otherwise good level. Overall it's a pretty solid level that could use a bit more polish.
