Hello! I'm new to this forum; I just found out about it today. This is my second published level, and it's a survival challenge. The basic rules are to dodge the logs coming from the left, and to shoot the logs coming from the right. Also, make sure the ones from the right don't reach the bottom, or it's game over! PSN: maxwordlife Level Name: Little Big Shoot N' Dodge Survival Challenge Location: Caribbean area Good Luck!

Hey it sounds pretty cool and I will check it out later. You should probably try and post a picture or two on here. I recommend this with all levels but especially a survival challenge since you can tell a lot about the quality of the survival challenge through a picture and there are so many survival challenges that arent worth playing it is hard to recognize one that is without one. Anyway sounds really unique and interesting and welcome to the forum!

Like your level. As it's simple it's got that i need one more go hook. Managed to get 3rd but I doubt I'll have that for long. Good fun.

Unfortunately, the only camera I have is the one on my cell phone; it takes horrible quality pictures, and it can't even zoom. <_< Thanks for the feedback bind, and I'll make sure to check out yours and Hex's levels when I get home from classes tonight.

Hey man I played it this morning. It's a lot of fun, especially the first couple plays. The game idea is just really really fun. Something about shooting and jumping at the same time is really entertaining. The level doesn't look fantastic but it doesn't look bad either, your problem there is that most the stuff I would fix as far as look is concerned you cant fix because you built the level on the ground. Consider adding some light foliage or stone materials on that rock background you have. Also, none of the logs on the right ever got close to killing me. Well actually one did but that was the first time I played through. Maybe give them multiple hits? This is more of a question really but is there a maximum amount of points you can get? Because it looks like that point box isnt very big. Overall a solid survival challenge with potential to be even better. I hearted it and I think I gave it 5 stars, it was 4 or 5. Here are some ideas because I dont want to just leave it at "Has potential to be even better" because then its like "Ok, but how?" anyway here are some ideas/suggestions. It really is your decision but I figured ideas cant hurt you... usually. 1. Like I said before, add a little detail maybe change the lighting. The lighting you have selected is a little dreary and I think something more vivid would fit your survival challenge better but that might just be me. Actually I was just thinking and I remember you having the Battles music which makes me think you maybe wanted it more serious but then with the paintinator and the colorful logs you shoot and things it makes me think you didnt want it so serious. I would try to make things match up a little better so it is more aesthetically pleasing. Most survival challenges have a less serious approach with up beat music which is something to consider. 2.The logs from the right side werent all that dangerous, I realize if I even let one pas I would die but the chances of that happening were almost 0. I was constantly shooting where they spawn and they were dying just as quickly. Maybe make them more of a threat. Thats actually about it, maybe make a way to get points while playing as well as at the end but its your choice. Good work man!

Thanks for the feedback Hex! Visual isn't a strong point for me, but I will try to touch it up the best I can using some of your suggestions. Yeah, now that I look at it, the lighting is kind of dreary; I'll have to fix that. As for the logs you shoot, I'll have to tinker with how many shots they take, how fast they roll down, or even make them a smaller target. They need to be more of a theat as you said. There is no limit in points, one drops in that box every 5 seconds while the challenge is activated, and you get a big amount for each light that gets turned on. Don't worry, the box is very tall . I did originally have the points fall down during the challenge; I didn't even have the points box at all. The problem with that was that most of the time they got pushed away by the logs since you were jumping and moving around and miss them. I even had a bunch fall every 30 seconds, and that was really bad because it stopped the logs from the left momentarily. This threw off your timing and got you killed 90% of the time, so I killed that idea. Thanks again! I definitely have some touching up to do, and I'll have to get around to that soon.
