Yeti Quest

Unrelated to my main project, Yeti Quest was my VERY FIRST FORAY into LBP2. This level is not 100% polished I admit, but I'd still like to showcase it for FEEDBACK. I am starting plans for a redo of this level in its entirety with a new plot, new characters, and all my improved skills since this level was first made. So please tell me what you like, don't like, want to see again, NEVER want to see again, what offend you, what pleases you, and everything under the sun that will make the new Yeti Quest (Which will keep the same title) infinitely more epic.

Your task is to assist three luchadors track down the legendary Yeti El Fuego, Grande, and Tito.

There are three mini-boss battles. One with each of the three luchadors. Each luchador is an independent foe with varying tactics. Again, this is my FIRST LBP2 level, so some of them are a little unbalanced. Like Grande here.

I have been told this part is super hard. It is somewhat challenging since visibility is limited. My advice is that almost every time you need to climb a crate or jump a pit, you will need 3 boxes.

The Abominable Snowman boss is optional. If you want to avoid this fight, then don't kill the adorable baby yeti! (My LBP mascot. XD)

One of two potential fates that befall the luchadors.

Author's Notes: I'm going to state loud and clear this is a level that probably 'needs work'. But it's fun, functional, and my very first LBP2 level. (So you should play Deep Ocean afterwards to see the improvement. XD) I'm subbing it here so I can get as much feedback as possible, and make the new Yeti Quest AWESOME. (After Close Your Eyes, I'm going to need something happy. D : )

Pros: Fun platforming elements, cute characters, a lengthy level with some of my very first logic work.
Cons: A few logic issues, a potentially repeating cutscene, some over-simplified designs, and an unfairly difficult Abominable Snowman. Seriously. Just warning you guys about that. Just don't kill the baby if you want to live.

I totally agree to you, Kato:
It's not your best level, but it's funny and very enjoyable and I really like the weird story of three wrestlers who wans to wrestle the Yeti (and win ).
Nice and funny level

I'm warning you now, it's old and terrible. XD

I've seen a couple of you have played but didn't finish. Did anyone get stuck anywhere? Anything too difficult?

I imagine that those who didn't finish the level is because they rage quit. I just played the level.

The good stuff:

-Level design is fun and original.

-Not some pointless platformer, or should I say its got a pretty clear story.

-Its got a good sense of humor.

-Its not a bomb survival.

The bad stuff:

-Some areas are very complicated, even for the experienced (cave and race scene). You would need to adjust the gameplay mechanics in these areas a little.

-Some of the dark matter (old school stuff) is seen.

In conclusion, the level is pretty good, considering its an old level. Keep it up!

Guilty, lol! I could not for the life of me get through the mine cart bit. I kept dying at the point one cart vanishes and another hurtles past at a right angle to the first one. I was tired, though, says she feebly... I'll give it another go but part of the problem was that I couldn't tell exactly what I supposed to be doing at that point.

Oh. Lol. That other minecart was just Decor actually. If you've shot the box to raise the winch, you just wait until you reach the top.

But that's precisely what these tests are for! I need to know what NOT to do when I remake it. XD
