Shifting Winds (Honourable Mention!)

Archive: 16 posts


Hello guys! Today I bring you a new level: Shifting Winds!

http://littlesigplanet.com/v/frv0dn/popit_candyjar/full/sig.png (http://lbp.me/v/frv0dn)

Even though it's not a STRICTLY 1-Player level, small parties (1-2 Players) are preferred, so that you can fully enjoy it.

Here, some pictures:

It features some nice graphics, some windy and original gameplay, and every single sticker, decoration and object from the Autumn Kit . Hope you enjoy it!

Looks cool, queued My F4F http://lbp.me/v/fr2t7f

Edit
Played your level and it gave me a nice warm feeling inside from all the lovely Autumn colours and music, gameplay was just about right, who doesn't want to grab giant swinging pine cones and jump across falling leaves? I must admit to dieing ALOT across those leaves lol, but that's not the levels fault, that's mine, my little sackgirl is terribly clumsy. Good job I really liked it <3

I'll be happy to do some F4F when you play my level Mizztrust, thanks a lot!

P.D. A friendly comment to any reader: I can also give F4F in Vita levels!

I just played your platformer, and I wanted to say that it left me feeling nostalgic for the story levels of LBP2. It had a visual style all its own, executed with loving attention to detail. I like the bright colors and the charming music. An interesting (but popular) take on the attract-o-tweaker makes for a wild wind riding experience. There were a few challenging parts that prevented the game from getting dull, but it was simple enough not to be frustrating.

Story: N/A
Gameplay: 7/10 - Fun and faced paced platformer with so much done right. Perfect amount of difficulty makes it perfect for everyone.
Sound: 8.5/10 Really loved the music on this one and the sound effects were well timed and fit perfectly.
Replay: 5/10 Probably the weakest point of these style of games is the one-time playthrough nature they typically have. This wasn't really different here, but that doesn't take away from the experience.

I hope you get more attention for this lovely little platformer ^_-

Thanks for your feedback VampyreKai! Yeah, the replay value for these kinds of platformers is almost nonexistant , anyway I appreaciate it much! I've got your level right in the top of the queue! Hopefully I'll get myself some time to write a review to have it ready for today or tomorrow... Thanks once again!2012-09-27 01:18:00

Wow. The room(?) you first enter is so unique. The colours, the stickers, the trees.... The falling leaves! Such a nice touch!
The autumnal leaves along the side of the walls was nice, it kept the level from being just standard woody, boring visuals. Sometimes I felt the autumn theme was a bit overdone, but on the other hand, I can see how others could love it! The wind effect were really cool, I loved being thrown around by the wind. I really, really wanna know how to do that...In fact, I think there could have been a little more windy gameplay, just to make this level truly unique. My favourite bit was being swooshed along by the wind. I think that kinda fast paced movement adds a bit of excitement to the level.
Grades!
Visuals- 8/10- detailed, but I sometimes felt that some switches were a little difficult to spot due to the decoration.
Music- 10/10- a perfect track to go with the level.
SFX- 5/10- could have done with some mechanical sounds for when the wood changes layers or something like that?
Gameplay- 7/10- needed more windy swooshy-ness!
Overall- 8/10- Great level, definitely deserves more plays!

F4F my level, Sigma Prime please? In my Sig. There's also a level showcase thread in the cool levels section if you wanna write a review there. I know it seems a lil' unfair asking for more reviews on my level that is in the cool levels section, but it has literally stopped getting plays now. Right before my goal of 100!

Thanks for the feedback! I hadn't seen your post until late today as it wasn't a new one but an edited post, so I'll probably leave my feedback until tomorrow. Anyway, don't desperate! Its in my top-to-do list!

Thanks for the feedback! But... Lol, I already gave feedback for your level Sigma Prime about 3 weeks ago Already sent you a PM. Any other level I can give feedback in?

I'm trying something new writing my review while playing with simple pros/cons. Let's go!

PROS:
- Good choice of music
- nice colours, good spirit of autumn!
- ZOMG! wind gameplay!
CONS:
- It took me a while to find the lever at the very beginning. Maybe you could add a big pink arrows that points on it if the player needs too much time?
- Falling leaves a bit(!) too tricky

Well, this level definitely is a "Yay!"
It has nice gameplay ideas that were fun to play and the visuals made the whole thing even more pleasing.

See F4F in my signature if you feel like.

Yay! Thanks for the feedback! Jeje, I have to agree with every single word. This was maybe a short review, but it was the one of the most complete ones I've received so far! I reccommend to continue with that kind of reviews Luke
Queueing your level right now! (I loved that you include the link for the lbp.me page and for the level thread as well jeje)

Its been a long time since I published this, but...

ZnFGaming was kind enough to record my level in Youtube! I don't really remember if I requested that, but surely I did, and its awesome! Here, have a look:

He also left an awesome review:

Genre: Platformer
Ratings:
Concept - 7/10
Presentation - 9/10
Gameplay - 6/10
Playability - 9.5/10
Replay Value - 6.5/10
Overall - 7.6/10
Review Summary: A very entertaning and well-constructed level. Excellent attention to detail and creative use of the sticker material. Everything in the level ran smoothly, especially the wind effects, which were impressive. The level was a bit on the short side but is still worth trying out. A suggestion for future levels would be to create more if a challenge with the obstacles. I'd also be interested to play it again in search of the rest of the secrets.

Thanks a lot, dude!

P.D. Hopefully this won't be considered a harmful double post as I think a good amount of time has passed and this post contains "relevant new information".
