This was a fun platformer, and while I hesitate to use this word in a game where the man character is an adorable, stuffed sack of cloth, very cute. The pace was a bit slow for my taste, as I felt I spent a little too much time simply walking forward towards the next jump or bounce. Visually, the level is very soothing, with a well-used blend of soft autumn colors complimenting the relaxed environment well. Overall worth a playthrough, though there is nothing to really "ooh and ahh" over here. Simple mechanics, simple platforming, simply fun. Well done!2012-10-06 16:46:00

I also found this level to ha've a slow pace which is good for sitting back and enjoying the relaxing visuals you created. Nothing felt rushed or cluttered, which worked in the case of this level. It actually reminded me a little of LBP1, but that also comes from the music. The gameplay was simple but the overall level was an interesting play.2012-10-11 03:10:00

Hey, I played this a few days ago. Sorry it took me so long to get around to writing this but here goes:
My first impression was that this level was very attractive. I can't stress that enough because I really feel its the best part of this level. It has that charm that pulls you in and drives you toward the end. The music reenforces the tone that the visuals set up, making this a pleasant experience for the senses.

I think the angst-filled worm deserves a special mention. In most cases of little big planet you run into only the most helpful, eager to please and descriptive individuals (along with the occasional baddies) but this worm simply catches you off guard with his sheer distaste for your presence. Which is hilarious. I especially enjoyed the fact that he solved his apple dilemma without sack thing's (highly sought after) aid.

Now, that all said, I have to tell you that this really feels more like a stroller than a platformer. It lacks in any significant gameplay aspects that really make a platformer fun and challenging. That's my only problem with the level really. I like challenge. I like the suspense of making that hard jump and the satisfaction of reaching it. I have come to accept the infinite checkpoint (unspoken) rule but I still like my games hard.
Really enjoyed the work you put into this.

I've played it. It's funny, easy and artistic. But in my opinion you should use some decoration to beautify your level

If you want, try my level, and tell me what do you think bout it http://lbp.me/v/d7m9ke

I think my response is same to some of the other guys who replied before me about the pace being slow probably due to the wideness of the level and how long it the running is. If you made the areas less wide to get to another spot it would pick up the pace a bit more. Other then that the level visually looked good, the platforming was okay and the worm character was alright to. This definitely reminded me of a lbp1 type level from looks and music. Overall it was good level and worth playing, keep up the good work.2012-10-16 13:04:00

I played this level FINALLY like yesterday, I think O.o
anyways, I loved the level, it was fun, well the gameplay was fun, I didn't really like the vagueness in detail, being that now I'm a Creator with detail its gotten to me ~.~
but yeah, the only thing that bugged me as that it seemed rather plain, but still quite fun, don't get me wrong!
It felt a little too long, mainly cause of the lack of detail, I did think some of the characters were nicely detailed though, like that mean worm ~.~
the visuals I did like however was that autumn feel you had to it, I wonder how you're Winter-Tide will be like
