Tried the creator's cut version again tonight and have to applaud your adjustments. Much more balance and challenge in some of the earlier problem areas. LOVED that you mention Eddy Mitter! Still really love your artistic style and can't wait for future levels from you!
Even better level after the new update :)
It is excellent now. I love all the new features, good work.
I'm glad you guys dig the changes. I like em too.
I almost fainted when I saw that my dumb little vampire story got bumped up to the cool levels section.
I have a fraction of a fraction of a space left on my thermometer, so if any of ya'lls catch anything that could use work please don't hesitate to let me know.
A still owe a few F4F's, I'm hoping to get to them tonight. If anyone reading this wants an F4F, just let me know. I love checking out new levels.
Just played through this again and I have to say I love the changes!
The platform additions worked very well. Loved the windows washers...very original.
I thought the flow was so much better.
I did see a spot or 2 of dark matter. 1 for sure at the bubble arrows.
Thought the additional enemies helped to make it more exciting.
Overall great changes much more well rounded.
4 stars and a multi-path tag and hearted :)
:grr:
This level was awesome. Loved your drawings. So much details that are good.
I need to sit down and sketch before I make my next level like you.
Job well done :D
I'm glad everybody seems to like the changes!
I'm going to look into getting rid of the dark matter by the arrows, I think I know what I'll do.
Does anyone know how to get a video done for your level?
I'd love to have one, but I don't have a video camera. :(

I played this level last week and really enjoyed it! There was a lot of humor and it was really fun. I'll be sure to try out the updated version.
Great fun! Gotta tell you, I really enjoyed this level. And one thing I noticed right off the bat - you know how to design fun levels. You added the challenge exactly where it needed to be. I felt like the entire level flowed and I wasn't being overly cautious, but yet it contained some nice challenging platform sections and well-made enemies.
I also enjoyed the move from Transylvania to New York on the boat. I liked the dry comparison between the lynch mob and the mugger...
One thing that happened (wasn't a big deal) - in the area to the right of the bridge, the zombie who says "Brains!" in a cutscene camera - I was running to the right, the cutscene happened and the zombie's gas hit me before I could close the bubble. Not a big deal, but if you wanted to prevent this from happening you may want to raise the radius on this text bubble.
Couple other REALLY minor things:
Near the beginning, the 2 bats - as you walk by you can see the back material of the bats. This could probably be fixed by stickering the back of the first bat black and the 2nd with a rock sticker so the back of the bat blends in with the background.
The hidden chest - you could put material embedded in the back of the chest and sticker it so there IS a back to the chest. It looked a little odd with no back.
But, these minor minor minor points aside, I think you did a great job with this level. I ended up with the #2 spot (I BARELY beat Matt_82!)
Thanks for the feedback. As soon as I get a spare minute or two, I'll look into the stuff you mentioned.Quote:

SWEET!!!
I just got done with some more updates based on what CCubbage had to say.
- I painted the two bats in the beginning
- I put a back piece on the hidden treasure chest
- I added a ton of sound effects on the enemies
- I fixed the arrows so there isn't any dark matter visible
- I added another weak spot on the boss, I though he was too easy
I like it a lot better with the sound effects, let me know what you guys think!
I'm stoked to play through again with the new "Sackula" costume, MM read my mind!!
Anyhow, I hope you'll forgive the double post, I didn't want to just tack this on to the post before it. :blush:
Ill get to this later, getting late here.
Feedback:
Alright! Finally got to this level.
-The dialogue was cool
-Nice visuals, the pictures on the walls and the obstacles looked nice.
-Liked the creativity, making the player the vampire trying to get away.
-The jump after after the green guy is annoying. The villagers stakes are way too big for you them and you to be on that tiny platform, their hard enough to jump on as it is.
-Liked the boss, very quick and fun.
-On the gas maze, did you add a camera angle to it?Because it seems like when i went in the camera went off to the side a little bit and i couldnt tell how far away i was from the gas. If there is, take it out for sure.
Nice job.And my human body level is now finished and a lot better then before, you wont have any problems with it like last time.
Thanks for the feedback Jrange, sorry it's taken me so long to reply. Things have been crazy.
Not sure what's going on at the maze, there's no camera there.
Maybe I should make the stakes shorter, but I'm torn because I want the level to be difficult enough, but I also want it to be beatable.
I'll go through your level again as soon as I get a chance.
So, the other day I played through my level for the first time with three other players and realized that it gets VERY frustrating at the end where the bat takes you to the rooftops. I fixed it by adding three more bats so everyone can get up.
I tinkered with a few other minor things too.
