My New level: Back And Forth

Archive: 18 posts


This level is a not your average level. It is filled with many obstacles. It is harder than your average level but not impossible. So i dare you to beat my level if you can?.. Patience is the key. Also i was going to keep it a secret but I will just tell you. At some point in my level the level will flip upside down 180 degrees and new obstacles will appear.

Yeah, I've got a crappy unofficial controller that does that too, does my nut in.

I don't really want to watch too much of the video, I'm always ruining levels for myself by knowing exactly what's coming, but I'll check it out when I get chance.
I'm into more challenging levels, so it should be worth a look at.

I played it yesterday and beat it after a few attempts. It wasn't bad, and I do like challenging platformers. Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have finished it =P

Apart from the lack of visual polish (and a good amount of visible switches), which you don't seem to are about judging by your posts in your GFAQs thread, there were some annoyances gameplay-wise as well.

One of my most hated parts where you came from above, and some fire logs rolled across the floor. A camera zone would really, REALLY help here, as I couldn't doa nything but jump down and hope that I didn't land right in front of one of the logs.

People have complained about "cheap deaths" in your level. Apart from the aforementioned part, I didn't really find any of them cheap per se, but it will probably be demotivating for many players when they have to play a level based on trial-and-error. That is, some of your platforming parts, mainly due to the lack of camera zones as well. For example, there's a part where you are on a huge block that moves up und down, and there are electrical obstacles on the ceiling. The first time you reach this part, you have no way of knowing about them. Sure, after that you'll probably be able to avoid them, but do you really need to force death on people so they can pass your obstacles? At the very least, I can see where the complaints come from.

My most important advice though is please, please get off your high horse. Obviously, by stubbornly insisting that your levle is the best in LBP history, you'll get a lot of people who will try it just for that statement, but this will earn you a great deal of negative feedback as well. It's really hard to try and help you by pointing out the flaws in your design when you keep insisting that they don't exist. It also annoyed me a bit in the levle itself - getting to the end and reaching a photo booth with a magic mouth that says how rare and awesome and super-special this picture is because I beat your level is just - eh.

I'll play your next level as well if you make one, though ^^


and you guys are MUCH nicer than the gamefaqs community. leave some feedback once you're done playing it

To be fair, although I know the GFAQs community pretty well and know how they can be, you came in with a pretty arrogant statement and weren't exactly nice to them either =P

Bro, calm down, you are not the greatest level creator in LBP history, and in fact, your level wouldn't be in the top 10002009-02-22 07:08:00

Well, you'd have to be Forest Gump to believe that it is the best level in the world, and have to be Forest Gump to not get annoyed at your cockyness
