Blastworks [1P] [Very Hard]

Archive: 17 posts


http://lbp.me/v/qnsdgf1

This is a challenging single-player level based on and developing a concept I first used in Missile Works, in which you must grapple and grabinate missiles to redirect them and use them to clear your way forward. There are various help signs throughout the level in case you get stuck, but be warned - it will require some patience to get past the trickier rooms!

oh for cryin' out loud! So I'm playing this last night and really having a marvelous time in it. Truly. I loved the gameplay and of course the design and detail is fantastic. I was making my way along pretty well until I hit one spot and no matter what I did, I just couldn't get past it. So I didn't "rage quit" but rather just was like, "oh dang it." and turned it off. It was the part where you hold the rocket, fly out to the left and start falling down. I haven't a clue what to do here. The little recesses open as you fall down, you land in one and the rocket blows up, you fall on a bed of spikes. You fall down and steer clear of the recesses that open and don't matter, you're hitting the spikes. Tried about 10 times here before gave up. What to do? I want to finish the level? Did I miss something or is it just skill related, in which case I'll just have to pass.2013-09-16 16:08:00

You have to land in the middle of the recess, if the rocket touches the sides then it blows up and you get kicked off. When you come out of the second recess, you have to drop down, take a hard right then hold left once the rocket head clears the spiked floor.

Would it help if I removed one set of spikes from the bottom spike rack to make it easier to pass?

Hmm, so you'd kind of have a short breather landing pad? I don't know, might. So, I have to get in the recess and wait for it push me out? Gotcha. Thanks. I'm hoping to retry this tonight. Great level.

I have to say I loved every moment playing this. The combination of puzzles and platforming is just perfect. I thought the the hints to pass the obstacles were a good idea. Out of interest, do you lose points if you use them? Is it very mean of me to hope you do? Yes, yes it is...I'll keep quiet... Anyway, the design is great, the use of wormholes and the bombs is so inventive and I loved finding those cherries. I really liked the way you showed glimpses of them in sections of the level where they weren't actually accessible so that you had to work out how to reach them from somewhere entirely different. Very clever..and tantalising.

The boss fight is my undoing, as ever. I'm so bad at these and end up losing half my hard won points. Never mind, I'll return and practice until I get it right. At the moment I have an uncanny knack for standing in exactly the wrong place at the wrong time so I get repeatedly zapped by homing missiles or crushed by fists, lol. I really liked the way you had to earn your grabbable bomb each time. That was a cool - if agonising for me - touch!

Thank you so much for a great level.
