Not Another Crane Game!Darkdedede
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3121/3233658328_9289330072_o.jpgA crane game filled with exclusive prizes, all made by me. Like most crane games, this one wasn't designed to be easy. Catch all the prizes for a special reward. Skill and patience recommended, but not required. (1-2 players)
all
Hi all. This is the first mini game that I designed in LBP. I've designed all of the prizes myself, and they're all made out of prize bubbles. I'm quite proud of it.

It can be played with one player, but it is somewhat easier with two.

If you catch all of the prizes in the crane game, you earn a key to my museum level as a reward.

I'm in the process of redesigning the museum so please let me know if doesn't doesn't work right.

Go check it out, and I hope you all enjoy it.

Hey Dark, I played this level yesterday and enjoy it a lot. Caught all the items and unlocked the museum. xD
In fact, it was the first time I saw this kind of creations, using only point bubbles and stickers/decorations.
I liked them a lot. Well done.
I also liked a lot the idea of the museum. It kind felt like one.
In this level, the Museum, I noticed 3 things that I don't know if you're aware:
1. Seems like the cameras that show upward (the ones that help see the objects) in rooms 6 and 8 are not working...
2. Even completing some objects with the right stickers and decorations, I could not get their correspondent prizes, they just did not fall. (If you want I can try to identify them, but now, I just know that something like 7 I could not get...)
3. The name of the level is Museum 3, but at the beginning your first creation welcome us in Museum 2. xD
Thanks for sharing your level and prizes.

Thanks for the feedback. I made the adjustments.

Which prize could you not get?

Edit. Never mind. I fixed that too.

Overall nicely done...lieked it...

only thing, the claw in my opinion is really a bit to "shacky"...i mean it swings to much when you move it from left to right etc...

but nice Level

I didn't see any problem with the aesthetics (stickers on the bubbles).
I liked the level. Bubble prizes were really cool. The only thing I didn't like was that sometimes when I tried to get back to the levers, I would accidentally jump on the seesaw, and it would go down, and I didn't realize there was an elevator... on the other side.
Gave it 5 stars. Deserves more than 3.

Yeah some people say the claw swings too much, but I tried to make it as similar to a real claw game as possible You've played those things before, yes?

Also, I'm thinking of removing the seesaw, or gluing it down. It really isn't necessary for it to move.

That's awesome. Yes, the guitars are particularly evil.

Thanks for the feedback (better late than never).

Anyways, I'm thinking about a redesign for this level. Both the game and level itself. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OK, in my notes page I put that it was very fun and addicting BUT that was the only thing fun in the level

-visuals could use a little work
-the crane handling could've been much smoother if you put an invisible piston instead of a winch ( the winch could still be visible though its just for the visual illusion that you think its the winch that's lowering the crane but its not)
-maybe fix the crane so it could be sturdier

over all rating 4/5 stars

Hi! This level was fun! I got all the prizes and key. It was bit tricky handling the crane, but I managed finally!
I liked how you had decorated all the prizes so well, but you could decorate the level some bit too. gave it 4/5 stars.

I don't think you need to make it sturdier, it's a crane: they are wobbling everywhere in real life too. It's the challenge there!

Oh! and I forgot to ask, if you could give me a feedback on my level: Block Industry (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=28983-Block-Industry), thanks.

Hi all. I gave the crane game a redesign. It has a theme to match my story series, and I tried to make it so the crane swings less.

Let me know what you all think. It's quite a drastic change.
