Wow! It needed some time that I could finally play your level, but today I had the opportunity and I can only say bravoooo! Your fairy tale is a really magical story, you've put in nearly every gameplay element one could imagine, packed into a fine story in a fantastic level world! Its varied, it has an intelligent gameplay, and its rather long! (This point nearly brought me to the point that I thought that I would have to give up before the ending cause my time ran short! My play time for all parts has been more than one hour!) But I enjoyed every minute of it! Your level is no fast food, to me its been a gala dinner, bon appetit to everyone!

Many greetings, Jürgen

Hey TJ, just played your level series and here's my feedback.

Chapter 1:
I liked the environment of the forest, it had a nice relaxing feel to it and the Twink was a good way to start off the chapter and made it feel fairytale like.The little ingredient books on the wall was pretty neat and gathering up the ingredients was fine. Could of been even better I think if you had to hunt a little more for them and had them added that way but it was still was okay. The view didn't bother me to much but it would be nice to have the camera off of the ground a bit so as you moving it isn't so low to the ground and you can see the visuals and everything around you as your moving. I liked the teleporter also, nice way to transition from one place to another. When you get to the birds nest and the potion falls, after the scene and stuff is done and you go back to the scene it re-activates. Minor fix. I liked the invisible walk ways to, definitely makes the place feel magical. Liked the ending of this chapter, made you feel like there was going to be more to it.

Chapter 2:
Once I got into the house I liked the feel to it, with the things floating around made the place have a creepy feel to it. The part you have to grab the ceiling it took me a little minute to figure out where to drop down at because I kept hitting the spikes and kept thinking you had to just keep swinging across until I fell in the hole..Nothing to worry about though maybe it was just me. I like how you use the potion as the key object to transition into new areas/open new areas. Using the cloud idea from the stove was really nice, I had to really look at what the switch activated but that was nice idea. I forgot about the face in the mirror that really brought back some memories, and the gameplay up until you find Merlin was pretty good with the grapple hook.

Chapter 3:
Starting off this chapter I like the music you chose, it keep the vibe going on the forest feel. The platforming was okay. Maybe for the bridge part it could snap sooner so when you get to the end and actually have time to jump it isn't a invisible wall stopping you. Liked how you did with the Witch also. This chapter was kind of short but not bad still pretty good.

Chapter 4:
Like this Halloween theme look for the witch's chapter. The foggy look by the castle looked good and really gave off that spooky forrest effect. The boss fights were fun and I really enjoyed them.

Overall I enjoyed the series, it was really great and I forgot myself that we was inside of the book after being caught up in it so long. Definitely was enjoyable to play and got a yay from me keep up the good work.

I haven't played it all yet only on chapter 4 because internet cut out but I have to say I am very impressed. My first Reaction was Oh god not NaviI!! but it turns out twink is a very likible character. The story is pretty much a basic fairy tale which is fits the theme of the level very well. I thought the gameplay was fun and imaginitive not too and scenery fitted the location very well. the water bit was a pain but that is kind of standard with water in general. I have yet to complete chapter 4 and this level already got a yay and a heart from me.2014-05-29 22:24:00
