The Strange Life of Billy
https://lbp.me/v/qyesnyt/trailer?p=1&l=12

I bought lbp 3 earlier this year and immediately wanted to create a top down platformer. It took longer than I would have liked, but my first lbp 3 level is published. Feels good.

Gamplay
It's not a long game. There is exploring, elevators, trains, and rickety bridges that should have never passed a building inspection. There is a gigantic roller skate in a pool of water 5X times the size of Billy, the character you play. Billy happens to be the name of my Yorkshire Terrier, which has nothing to do with my game. The point is... I tried to create a short, fun little game with an interesting world to explore. You can try to collect all 50 points or you can plow straight through the level. You can dance on the gigantic roller skate or you can ride my train for 10 minutes on a loop. You can try to break my level even, which is probably easy to do.

Story
Billy has strange dreams. Not too much more than that. Also, Skele is a little scary, which you will meet if you beat the game.

If you do happen to play it, let me know about your level. I would be happy to play it.

Ahhh, thank you! Unfortunately, Skele is not a nice skeleton. I didn't think very long in coming up with a name for the skeleton lol.2015-12-13 07:13:00

Hi greensmurfy, wow, I played your level today and I totally love it! Wonderful gameplay, great map and...Skele! You've created a fantastic top-down adventure, which I only can recommend to our community! And I'm hoping that soon there will be a chapter 2!
Have a fine Christmas and many greetings, Jürgen^^

Thanks so much Chapter 2 is pretty much complete. I am fixing some bugs and trying to figure out some interesting areas to place the 50 bubbles/points. I was creating Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 at the same time, which is why it's so close to being published. It will definitely be published some time in January.2015-12-20 22:41:00
