Avoid sun glare! This is quite a dark level and sun glare will make it hard to play. STRICTLY ONE PLAYER!! Special thanks to my good friend RtooDee2, for testing.

Normally visual based levels don't wow me. Don't get me wrong, most are good looking, but a lot of the time creators and players overstate how much detail is put into the levels. This level is the exception to that. I'm not just blown away by the visuals here, the gust is so strong that I'm struggling to hang on to the cliff of quality. Not only is this the best looking level on the Vita, it is one of the best looking levels across all of the LBP games. Several silhouette levels across both LBPV and 2 (including your old one) do not even begin to compare to how intricate and beautiful this level is. All decorations are well placed, and all of the effects work beautifully. It all combines to form a unique atmosphere of loneliness and playfulness. Sound design is also incredible. I love how you gave the option to turn off the music (which to be honest didn't fit). Hearing the echoing wind, the cheerful grunts of the little dude, the metal clanging, it all just works wonderfully. What I'd recommend for the music is to replace it with a custom made ambient track. If I do have one issue with the presentation it's that the text doesn't really fit. It's fine as is, but it seems a bit out of place. The options screen at the beginning is also kinda misleading when it comes to whether or not the music is on or off. I think it would be better if the text remained visible and there just being a circle or whatnot around it. I also am not a fan of the Ghost Creator cutscene. Maybe you could fit it in the title screen somewhere? There are minor issues though, they don't begin to detract from the level. Gameplay is the level's weakest part, but it's still well done for what it is. It controls in an appropriately floaty manner and the double jumps are well implemented. There's nothing really standout or original here, but it's well made. The only part that game me trouble was the spinning section as I found it just didn't work as well as it should. There are also a few areas where it isn't clear where to go, but I consider this a benefit of the level because it adds to the atmosphere. So, yeah. You've pretty much outdone the entire community in terms of visuals. This is easily the best looking level I've played this far on the Vita. It is also one of the only Vita levels I consider atmospheric, so there's that. Fantastic work, I cannot emphasize that enough. ?hmm, I don't create silhouette levels, but a lot of work is going to be put into my non-silhouette visual based level to have it up to par with this. Also, excuse my syntax if it is a bit weird. It is late and I am tired.

@Sandro - Thanks @Bonner - Thanks for your in-depth review. I am glad you mentioned the atmosphere and sound effects of this level. When the music is switched off a complete new set of sound effects kick in. it's an idea that came to me right near the end of creating the level. Because the vita allows the player to play with headphones it gives the creator the opportunity to try and create an immersive experience. After a week of intense creating my brain was fried but at some point over the next week or so I will go back in and really polish up all the sound effects. As for gameplay being the weakest point of the level. I agree with you. It is the one aspect of the game that i really struggle with. I will never make an AlleyCat or R2 style platformer. That's why I have to play to my strengths which are probably visuals / atmosphere. Hopefully the gameplay, although quite simple, will keep the players interest through out the level. Thanks again for taking the time to leave constructive feedback.

Great level. The atmospheric look of this silhouette looks brilliant, and the gameplay is top notch. The L-button features are neatly varied and clever. Amazing work. PROS: +Silhouette visuals +Atmospheric colors +Platforming gameplay +L-button interaction with other environments +Great music choice CONS: -I got stuck when I accidentally went under the elevator, and I have to restart the level. OVERALL: A yay, heart, and positive review

Ghost Creators, Y So Ghosty? jk Good work, impressive quality. The level was bit FPS lag and so on but it wasn't disturbing It had "puzzles" that felt too easy to complete and the sad news here is that... "To be continue" :c aww man... well, waiting is the most boring adventure ever. But quality is coming next. + <3
