Hey guys, my level Sun set silhouette serenity (http://lbp.me/v/hrrk0s) is now out! It is a relaxing 1-4 player silhouette, platformer. You find yourself in a magical world of floating islands and beautiful scenery. The atmosphere is very relaxing and will absolutely calm you and take you to a peaceful place! Music by @Velvet--Audio, also thanks to EVERYONE who kept me company while i was making this level, it was such a blast! Hope everyone has fun playing my new level!

As I said in-game. This is a pretty beautiful level and it was pretty fun, but its really short. It sadly ended just as I really started getting into it. Either way its a pretty good effort. The art style you have here is pretty unique.

Played and reviewed it--thought it was great! I love silhouette style levels and this was a quality example considering I've just started trying to make one myself. But like I said in my review, definitely consider adding to it!

Nice level, but why we are all the same sackbot (played with four players). Is there a reason, why we can't wear our individual outfits? However: we had fun playing it

Thanks for playing my level! I think the sackbot look suits the level. Im glad you had fun!

This was a nice little level, but did feel a bit empty, so it was more about running along and picking up some points here and there. I would have like it maybe a little harder. This was also one of the first times something happened and I wasn't expecting it. I don't want to spoil it, but how you end up at the scoreboard, a pretty standard thing to do, but because of all the other "things" it was actually unexpected so my mind raced for a few seconds!

Hey thanks for playing my level! Im glad you liked the ending! With regards to the gameplay, the level is just ment to be a relaxing short level that takes you away from the normal lbp levels! I focused more on scenery than gameplay!

I agree that the level looks great. The silhouette and music set up a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Gameplay was easy, but you've already said that you were focusing on the visuals over gameplay, and on that front, you definitely succeeded. The players all being the same sackbot thing was only a minor problem, I didn't lose track of who was who, but I only played with one other person, so I can see why people might get confused when playing with 4.

Thanks for the feedback! The sackbots were a trouble from the start i wanted everyone to be a simple sackboy but they would have just melded into the background. So i put glowing eyes on them. Anyone know if i can change colour? ;p but ya thnx for the feedback hope you enjoyed the level!

Very impressive, I loved it in every way. The detailed scenery and the colouring were great.It was very tidy, artistic and well laid out. Also the game play was enjoyable,hard to find a fault really. 5 stars.

This level is waaaaaaaaay too short. But that's a compliment because if it wasn't as pretty and atmospheric as it is then I would have no desire to see more. There's also no real challenge here which might put off the hardcore fan base, but personally I prefer relaxing, attractive looking levels like this to those ballz-2-da-wall platform levels that make me wanna throw my joypad anyway, and let's face it....the level is called Sunset Silhouette Serenity, so it does exactly what it says on the tin. All in all this level is an enjoyable, chilled out experience with artistic flair, that whet my appetite for more. You got really good potential...a diamond in the rough

This level felt like it could be an introduction to a level series, rather than a standalone level, based on the fact that (as others have said) it's short and simple. I definitely feel it has room to develop into a good series, in terms of gameplay and developing the world. Visuals are top notch, atmosphere was good too. Although undoubtedly a great song by Velvet Audio, I don't think it fit the tone of the level, seemed a bit too upbeat for a level all about serenity... a minor complaint of course. Good job.

Okay, I'll keep this review a little shorter than I usually do and I just focus on the main things. Visually this is absolutely great. While I don't usually like the use of extra-layers-glitch anywhere, here they are used as they are supposed to. Not to make a pretty background but to bring the level more touchable to the player. That's the best thing I can say about it. I still don't like the glitch in general, but here it's well used. The lighting was perfect and the atmosphere really kept me in its claws the whole time. It's altogether well executed and beautiful. Audio-wise this level was good also. There is plenty to like here including the atmospheric music and sounds... Well, as much as one would expect for a level like this. Well done! Now, there is one reason and one reason only I don't really like this level as much as I hoped to and that's because IT HAS SO LITTLE GAMEPLAY IN IT! There are like zero new things or things that would require a bit more than a little work to create. There is no inspiration here, no fun obstacles, just a few easy jumps and a couple of bounces (that don't even really fit the level). It's also short as what, meaning there is not much to talk about here to begin with, which is why I keep this review short to begin with. Its atmosphere is almost as good as in Journey (err, the game) but it fails to bring anything innovative or entertaining to the screen and it is the level's greatest flaw. People don't play levels to see good visuals or hear good audio done well. People play levels for the gameplay which is swept under the carpet here for no reason. Visuals: 9/10 Audio: 8/10 Gameplay: 3/10 Conclusion: 6,6/10 Pretty good! No, it's not a bad level, but it has barely any gameplay in it. However, it's worth seeing (and hearing). It's a good level all in all, just don't expect any fun or inspiring gameplay here. If you feel like I was wrong at parts or think that my review is unfair, feel free to oppose this review. After all, these are just my opinions and there are certainly people who feel another way about this level. -FreeAim

Hey freeaim! Thanks for an actual review! Im glad you liked it on the most part! As for the gameplay: I made this level for scenery i wasnt to focused on the gameplay sorry if i lost you there! But about people playing level for gameplay only i dont agree, as i am a person who likes creative levels that may or may not have any gameplay i love levels that are extremly artistic! But thats just me thanks for playing!
