Take an adventurous romp through these mysterious caverns. What secrets await you in these unknown mines? But be wary! Danger awaits your every step!

**This Level is Now Published!!**

Hey everyone, it's finally done! I've been working on this level since August, and am thrilled to finally be able to share it with the world. Without further ado...

This level was inspired after playing through all the Canyon-Themed levels from the story mode, and I thought I could probably emulate MM's style. I feel like I've done pretty well with it, while maintaining my own particular flavor. My design was heavily inspired by the great creators in jackofcourse, grantosUK, mrsupercomputer, and rtm223. You should notice that this one looks vastly different from my previous work... but in a good way. This is surely a high-score-chaser's type of the level, so if that's your particular drink of tea, give the high-score a run. I predict a possible top score of 90k or more.

Now, with video! (thank GreyMRP!)

Special thanks to all my testers, especially mrsupercomputer, who spent several hours in create mode with me, tossing ideas back and forth (yeah, I know it doesn't flip, I'm sorry!).

I hope you all play it and have a blast.

:)

Awesome! I've noticed its not published yet, so I'll check back later :)

Looking forward to playing it later today... this level is HUGE fun and I'm going to shoot for a decent score tonight. Incredibly well-thought-out design, one of the most fun boss-chase sequences I've seen, and some original ideas I had not seen before, such as the "laps" section.

Will definitely have my play through later and be back time and time again no doubt. Highest rated page material for sure.

Nce promotion too...been meaning to do that myself for about the past 3 levels but just never gotten round to it! :)

Oh, the title caught my eye, then I saw who made it...

Might give it a miss now :p

Alright, guys, it's up. There are a few things that I'd like to tweak yet, but I can't see on my parents old TV. It's so frustrating!! I will hopefully be able to find a decent TV tomorrow, but the level should be in complete working order.

Cheers.

Giving it a go now! :D

This level is soooo good it's ridiculous. Seriously, I am jealous at what Compher has done here. The level design is outstanding with tons of point combos, sweet jumps, and inventive gameplay ideas. You'll also find yourself traversing the same area in multiple ways as new paths open up and take you to areas that your weren't sure how you'd reach before. See a lever but can't reach it? Don't worry, you'll get to it eventually, trust me. It's just so fantastically designed.

The visuals and character designs are great as well. The little details like arrows popping up to remind you which way to go, the spelunker slowly climbing his rope, and the drill.. oh my the drill! All are wonderfully done.

As for gameplay, the level is filled to the brim with variety. There are basic jumps yeah, but then it starts getting mixed up with the ceiling grabbing, mine carts, races, puzzles to solve, and a chase scene! And all are woven together seamlessly into one cohesive experience. I think my favorite sections would have to be the race which is especially fun with two or more players (Compher and I had some good times trying to outdo each other) and the chase sequence at the end. The chase.... well I won't say anymore. Just go play it.

Overall, the only thing criticism I have is that the drill doesn't flip at the end... sorry, I just had to tease. Seriously though, I have no criticisms of the level. It's been tested and polished to perfection. I absolutely love it. Well done.

5 stars and a heart but I'm stuck where you're dragging the heart with you. The guy says it's his heart and fires a missile at you. Things go boom and then what? I died - respawned..go back to the heart but it's stuck down there in the background. Was it supposed to fall down through a hole?

5 stars and hearted. :)


BasketSnake: Your supposed to fall down when the missile is fired, and he will chase you with som kind of digging vehicle..

Well I didn't fall down. I died and respawned at the previous checkpoint so I couldn't progress further.

I have fixed that issue I believe. Grant had the same problem. You weren't supposed to run from the rocket (why is everyone doing that! lol). The rocket should no longer be able to kill you. If you guys still manage to break it, I'm going to have to speed the rocket up, which would be a huge hassle (seeing as it's an emitted rocket attached to DM via a piston).

Sorry you guys had so much trouble. After playing it so often, I didn't think people would run into the exploding rocket, lol. What actually happens is that he misses you. By running backwards, it allows the rocket to kill you.


It should be all fixed now. Hopefully.

I seem to remember someone finding this problem and reporting it to you... ;)

I have to admit that when you first showed me the race sequence I thought it was pretty good. ..then you stuck an entire level around it and made it freeking phenomenal!!

Wow... great story, great visuals, great lighting (especially so on the intro), cute intro. AMAZING PLATFORMING! Great level packed with secrets as well as bonus jewels for the race. I can't recall what I like the best on this as it is total overload of goodness. I think I have to agree with mrsupercomputer in that I am horribly jealous of what you have done here.

Instant classic!! Bravo!!

Now stop it!! LOL!! ;)

50 stars and a 5 hearts!! ...however minus one star for not having water LOL!! Just kidding!

Great job!

I bit the bullet and just had the lower checkpoint activate. If the person jumps into the rocket, they sort of miss out on what the heck is going on, but they shouldn't get stuck anymore. I was getting too many "annoying", "rubbish", and "ugly" tags, lol. I very much dislike Cool Pages. (So much for highest rated, huh Jack?)

I played this earlier today. To say the least I was very impressed with the visual style. The old mining facility reminded me of Setbacks and Hungerman.

It's a shame all those negative tags have popped up. With all those infinite checkpoints I don't see how anyone would have trouble finishing the level.

Great job nonetheless. :)

Oooh, definitely going to have to check this one out. Judging by that very nice promotion picture you have got there it looks amazing! Looking forward to trying to beat everybodies score on this :D

It's been quite a while since I've played a good Canyon-themed level, it looks like the mine from the story mode but with awesome lighting effects.

Well, I've got to say that this was awesome. Everything was top notch. The cavern was beautifully designed, using all the three layers to the max, I've actually deleted some of my new level tonight because the back tracking absolutely blew away what I had. I'm gonna have to up my game I think.

Hunting for the secrets was great fun, and although I missed a few (and a couple I could see) I'll be back to find them all. The point combos were excellently strung together, the race was very well designed and implemented.

The chase was awesome, requiring quick fingers and a keen eye for those combos. The two secrets I missed I only noticed when I'd past them :)

I had the missile problem, but you sharp fixed it.

Easily fits into my top 10 levels compher, its awesome.

***** and hearted.

It appears that there was a problem with people being unable to finish the level because of the rocket scene. They tried to run away from it, and instead it blew them up. This rendered them stuck. It's all fixed now, but I'm sure there were several people who quit out of frustration at that point. Else, they must have struggled with some of the jumps. I 'unno. Thanks for your comments!

:)

omg.

Gotta play this tonight! What is with all those great levels coming out since a week or two? wow.
We only miss mrsupercomputer and rtm to pull out something! lol
