Ink Well Descent

For PLCC5. My creation blog is available here (http://www.littlebigplanetarium.com/blog/685-my-first-vita-level/) for anyone interested - but fair warning, I rambled a bit.

Single layer platformer designed for one player. Try to maintain a multiplier throughout the level for a high score while descending the ink well. This is a no kill level. If you fall you'll be funneled back onto the map at a later point, losing your multiplier and missing score bubbles in the process.
Keep that multiplier up, and it won't be hard to beat my score of 780,000

Ballpoint pen drawings were done by my aunt Reva and photographed with the Vita. The featured drawings are selected from her collection of artwork that she did while talking on the phone, over a period of many years when she worked in an office.

A few pics to wet your appetite. Enjoy!

One last thing to add, about how I did the drawing effect:
The doodle objects exist in the front layer, with a background of solid color sticker panel in the middle layer. Each doodle is covered by 2-3 pieces of front layer sticker panel the same color as the background, each one with a mover. The pen object is animated with the motion recorder and has been sped up. As the pen moves over the doodle, the front layer pieces of sticker panel movers are activated. This is synchronized by using batteries on a sequencer and a lot of trial and error.
This technique can best be seen on the first doodle.

Hi !
I enjoyed it ! The design is mysterious and pretty strange, I really loved it ! But overall... the drawing effect !!! I just don't know how you made to make this effect ! It was brilliant ! That's the opposite of Tower of Whoop, we have to descend to the Scoreboard. A great thing is that we can't die, but we can finish the level in less than 20 seconds : the score is the most important point !
Very good entry from you !

Mine's a different doodle style, I'm guessing we both used the same technique though. I like yours too
Longer!? I barely had time to finish this! Real life you know, it really get's in the way of my LBP sometimes.

Opposite of the Tower of Whoop is exactly where the concept started
About the drawing effect, I added this to the OP:

Hope that makes sense, feel free to ask if you'd like clarification.
