Hi,
I published my entry for the „Ugly Level Project“ (community fun project from LBPC).

You meet the bizarre mind of “Vincenza van Sacky”.
She is crazy.
… or evil?
… or something completely different?
… who knows.
Enjoy this short platformer!
Credits to CuriousSack for the fantastic music!

You want to see some pics?
Sure, my friend. Here you are:

Hi, AV. I have your level queued. I have heard it is great in a bizarre sort of way. I can't wait to play it. 2013-05-11 22:59:00

It's definitely great

The visuals are top notch.
The standing logs where you can't stay too long because it goes down is great. Looks really realistic. I was thinking of doing that with my level, but I couldn't pull it off like you did.
And Vincenza van Sacky is awesome.

Hi AV. I really enjoyed this Ugly Level Contest entry. It was perfect for this, and you did a great job incorporating the contraptions from the template level. And CuriousSack did a great job on the music. You guys make a wonderful Team, and I'm now wishing I had created a level for this contest. I wish you both the best of luck and success. 2013-05-12 23:11:00

(For the F4F, check out http://lbp.me/v/k7w2rn, thread's in my signature.)

SO. Visually, you definitely got quite a few things done, and I never felt bored looking at the level, which is quite good. The section where you have to jump out of the alcoves with the blocks pushing you out got annoying pretty quickly, and yet I was quite satisfied once I figured out the timing, so I can't quite complain there either. My only wish is that the level was a bit longer; there are only a couple of segments I really remember simply because there wasn't too much. (Of course, I understand you had to make your level to a certain set of criteria, so it's cool.)

Oh, and you might want to add a wall to the right of your scoreboard, since anyone with an extra player can walk by it.

Nice work with this. You did some cool sticker work with the face thing of the lady. Some of the 3D elements seemed a bit superfluous. One part in particular, you entered a room via mirror, and there was this large post or tree in the foreground blocking the view. But the obstacles were given their dues, and effort was made to extend the length of the level base. (The base is pretty short. XD) Good work!2013-05-13 13:38:00

I was very impressed by this level, the theming was impressive and Vincenza had some real personality for so little screen time.

I did have one minor issue, on the steps down to the water you can easily go under the next platform - indeed it looks like an invitation to a secret area. There is nothing to suggest that the water is dangerous at this point so I hopped right in, and bzzzaiiibzzz-pop, fried sackboy. Either some invisible dark/light matter to block the way, or an 'electric' sign in plain view would be more than enough.

Otherwise I really enjoyed the level, and wil probably play it again to see the things that I might have missed.

I played it and I loved it. The atmosphere was outstanding and I thought you had a special knack for using object from the game in a way that they blended in and made something amazing looking. It reminded me of something like Limbo in both general feel and even gameplay. I took it slow and enjoyed looking at the craftsmanship. That is a complement because I am generally a player who rushes through stuff. I will be checking our more of your stuff very soon.
