i take it no one wants to try my lvl, thanks : (

- I will go try your level.

Pros

- The look and feel of the level overall is very good. I really like all of the custom structures and things like the sails, barrels, enemies etc ... The custom environment as well as the fact that all of the ships are always moving up and down really makes the level feel like you are on a boat.

- I like the sinking ship idea at the beginning there, it was pulled off pretty well with the water following you up the ship.

- Oh yeah! ... almost forgot ... the part where you get shot out of the canon was very cool. Really liked that idea.

Cons/Suggestions

- Why is the water and gas in the water that kills you green? I don't know why you didn't make the glass for the water as well as the gas blue ...

- The part where you had to jump on the steering wheel and then jump off it and grab and swing was too difficult in my opinion. It was pretty difficult just to get on top of the wheel and then making the jump after was even more difficult.

- In the beginning with the sinking ship could could see the floor and walls of the building area in a couple of the camera angles which kind of ruined the illusion of being at sea for that section.

Boss

Since you asked about it specifically.

- I don't see how it could be any more clear on what to do since you have something come up and tell you exactly what you need to do.

- I honestly didn't think he was too difficult at all ... I thought he was extremely easy to kill and never died on him. To up the difficulty a little I think you could make the logs that fall down have a lifetime of a second or so longer, because right now you can just stand to far left or right and just jump over the first one that falls because the other one disappears before it even gets to you.

- Other then that, I think that the logs should stop being emitted after you kill the boss, because I did get killed by them after he was dead and I was reading the little speech bubble that came up. I didn't expect them to keep falling after he was killed.


= Anyway, like I said I really appreciate all of the custom elements of the level that really help the look of the level. Overall it was a nice level in my opinion I gave it a 4 star.

thanks for trying my lvl, couple of things you should know i had to make the water green because at the top of the sinking ship the water is emitted and since 1.07 patch you can't change the colour of emitted gas, so it's green because the captain is polluting it making it toxic, the bit you said about the wheel i don't understand, you don't have to jump on a wheel to grab and swing and i wanted to know about the boss because someone said they didn't know what to do and it was too hard wich i didn't understand i guess they weren't paying attention, anyway thanks for playing my lvl im glad you liked it, im gonna try your lvls now i'll let you know what i think.2009-01-19 17:46:00

Hey man,

I gave your level a run today and I loved all the original models you made for it. Feel and experience were excellent and the boss was not confussing at all.

Little things I found:
-There are alot of switches and emitters visible and with a solid look and feel as you have made with your level it kinda detracts from the experience.
-I liked the start but felt cheated when I died since I thought I was climbing at a good pace, not sure how or where you start the sinking but it might just be that I sucked.
-There was one part when you start jumping ship to ship that the deck is blocked by 3 barrels and you have to jump backwards onto a crate to make it over them, I was bouncing between 2 camera locations trying to figure out if I could jump the barrels, kinda gave me a headache. Might want to shift the barrels or the camera lines just a bit so the camera only switches when you get on the barrels.
-I might have missed it when you blew the wall away to get to the treasure but I believe all pirate treasure needs a big red X at the spot you find it, either on the cave wall you blow up or on the floor where you get your loot

Hope that helps some,

If you want to get your level some feedback, make sure to provide it to others. This will ensure you get some back in return.
