Technology Hole [Racer] (http://vita.lbp.me/v/cfgmt)


In the desert there are many holes, but none as technological as the Technology Hole. It's actually more of a shaft but whatever. Race to the bottom! Inspired by Kipmonlin's Close Quarters level on LBP2. Check it out, it's awesome! Single player recommended, yo.

Time for my fourth and final (for the time being) Vita level! This time around, I wanted to make a very vertical level in a very short time frame (36 hours at the most, spread over a week), and this level is the result. Personally, this is the favourite of all my Vita levels as it's just fun and silly. There are lots of inventive(ish) layer shifting challenges, so it's safe to say that this level isn't for beginners. It's playable with multiple players (I think) but I make no promises regarding how enjoyable it would be, so it's probably ideal to go solo.

The level is inspired by my friend Kipmonlin's Close Quarters (http://lbp.me/v/ye30-v) level. If you have LBP2, check it out, it's amazing. This level is wider than that, but aside from the intro and exit the level is only sixteen small grid spaces wide. I'm also reasonably proud of how the level looks: it's nothing amazing, but it should be pleasant.

I'm going to return to LBP2 and attempt to finish my big project and / or play more Starcraft 2. Once I'm done that I may or may not make more Vita levels. If I do, I'm going to make something a bit more ambitious than my current Vita stuff (as in will take more than a week to make ). So, enjoy! Seek the glory of the highscore! Once again I will heart anyone who gets the Esmerelda! rank.

Have fun! /HAUS

Note: I will also F4F if you want. Just be sure to give a link! I'll leave a quick review ingame or on the thread.

Hi-score Wars - The Bonner Front

Something about that doesn't seem right. I tried to make this level's difficulty the sweet spot of being hard but not frustratingly so. Only one person has been able to complete it other than me so I really hope it isn't the latter. Hopefully someone will be able to beat mi-score (hehehe I'm terrible). I didn't mean to finish the level but hey, accidents happen. If anyone does I'll be pretty impressed.

So, judging by lbp.me, a majority of people aren't able to complete it. When I edit it later, I'm going to extend the race timer another minute and block multiplayer play. I'm not going to edit any obstacles as I don't feel as if any are hard enough to warrant it, and I don't want to ruin an otherwise fun level in order to appease people who won't be able to finish it anyway. However, if there are any issues I will gladly address them. If there are any other suggestions, let me know!

…it will always amaze me the amount of players who either cannot read the multiplayer warning or choose to ignore it. Basic sense would determine that it's there for a reason.

Looks good. Personally i can never build downwards myself so this is going to be interesting. 2013-05-19 16:07:00

Nice little level here. It's well designed and wheely hard.
It has a tendency to confuse the player sometimes, but it's possible to beat this level.

Got the highest score now and the Esmerelda rank too.

Yeah, some of the mechanics aren't that common on the Vita side of things, so it makes sense that a few players get stumped. Hopefully the players who pull through replay the level and improve their scores.2013-05-19 20:52:00

It's a challenging level. But not at all impossible.

When I played it the first time, the only part that gave me trouble was trying to get down the platforms that move vertically. There are two sections like that, the one right before the finish with the electric piece that gets in your way is the hardest part. It takes a couple times but there is a pattern that eventually forms and should become obvious to the player if they are patient. I was never confused on where to go next. And I never thought at any point in the level that it was impossible.

I think the average lbp vita player, you know, the ones who heart kill Bieber levels will not like this level and probably will not finish it. But I doubt those are the kind of players you made this for anyway. The people who love this kind of level are the people who post in these forums, and are really the true lbp players. Like me.

I think adding more time to the race is a good idea, and I am glad you are leaving the obstacles alone. I think they are perfect just the way they are.

Great level Bonner. I love your style bro!

Thanks again. I added another minute to the timer, so it should be a bit more lenient in terms of that. If there's anything else just let me know.

Also, I managed to get 36,000! It was on my moon though, so I'll let Schark94 keep the highscore.

For now.

I'd have gotten Esmerelda Rank, but that stupid last contraption (Though brilliant.) keeps killing me. My Sackboy just layer switches into the electricity. when I reach the bottom .-.
Great level though yay & heart.

EDIT: nvm, it workes now, I guess a new platform just spawned in time to switch me back or something. Got the Eseralda! rank now, didn't beat Schark, yet though. :kz:

EDIT-ER: Dam, I didn't heart you yet. :O Fixed now!

EDIT-ST: Dropped to the 4th place, now it's time to strike back. :kz:

Currently StarStriker7 has the highest score ( a whooping 35,284 points). The pressure is on, chumps!

Also, here's my next project:

Dayyum. Needless to say it will take a while because A) I want it to genuinely good, B) it will require a fair amount of logic which isn't my strongest area, and C) I also want to make it a decent length.

Already looking forward to it, I love your VITA levels, the sillyness and the awesome gameplay are just perfect!

A spoof? haha, awesome!
I'm creating something like Thomas was Alone too!
Well, not exactly, but the concept is similar!

Good luck with your project!

Ha, mine will have more of a emphasis on (dumb) storytelling and silly abilities. I haven't thought everything out yet, I just have the base logic figured out.

…Hmm, this is starting to get off topic.

Great platforming level. The visuals looked neatly polished, and the gameplay is challenging but a lot of fun. The thin and wide mapping is a great idea in this level, too. Awesome job!
PROS:
+Polished visuals
+Challenging but excellent gameplay
+Music choices and interactive music use
+Thin/ wide map
CONS:
-I didn't expect the black spikes at the start, and It took me a few minutes to figure out how to pass the black spikes part
OVERALL: A yay and heart
