Beeline Mountains!

The link to my totally awesome race! (https://karting.lbp.me/v/5u23)

I've had it published for about a month, and I only had 5 unique plays. I was wondering why, considering I'm not exactly the least known creator, and then it hit me: I hadn't advertised it yet. So here it is! I hope you awesome people enjoy it! (Note: I didn't make this with a sketch beforehand; this was simply a test to play with the new tools.)

i think i know why your level hasn't gotten many plays, yeah...you're lbp.me settings are still on private, so no one can see it. Switch 'em over and i'll queue up your track.2013-02-12 01:09:00

Great! I'll give it a shot.

EDIT: Tried it out, here's my 2 cents:

PROS

• Like the atmosphere/lighting/decorations
• Love the turns, was a joy to get a high score

CONS

• Shortcut is a bit too risky in my opinion
• Score based instead of time

Thanks for the fun track!

Thanks for the feedback! Now onto my responses to the cons:

-Yes, I know the shortcut is risky, but I wanted it to be harder than the other path, it being a faster path. I can definitely see it being too hard, though, so I will definitely make the path wider.
-That's an easy fix in the global controls page. I'm also definitely doing that.

Keep posting your feedback, amazing people!

Oh I know it: make it too easy and everyone uses it, make it too hard and nobody does. I guess the only way I'd risk that path was if I really had no choice, every time I had attempted I needed to slow down to ensure I didn't end off worse than if I didn't. A few times I made better times just using the normal route than not. Our resident speedster Cirrus5005 might be a better judge of that though.

I had a slightly similar problem when I first started Arctic Rumble (https://karting.lbp.me/v/87ix), it originally had a ton of holes in the ice that lead to better firing positions and more perks, but after watching a few people try it I realized that the vast majority just couldn't do it, even when I could pull it off. They would just drown a few times and grind through the level, and what I thought was fun became frustrating to them.

But all minor nitpicks aside, great job! If there's any other suggestions I could give, don't be satisfied with it if you've got plenty of thermo. I'm finding that nobody has yet to complain that I over-detailed and improved my work.
