Holy Clucking Cowbells

Holy Clucking Cowbells by GruntosUK
Spend a day with Sackboy on the farm! After a drink and blues session on the porch of his ranch, Sackboy awakes to find his wife annoyed, and his farm animals gone! Can you solve the mystery?

I made this level for the LBW4 competition but I'm a couple of days late :D. This has taken me two weeks to create, and I've put a little bit of myself into the level, I wonder if you can spot exactly what :D! Theres no puzzles, or backtracking in this, I wanted to make a normal level for once, and enjoyed doing it. It was planned as one level, will end up two, but no suprises there :D

I'd like the thank Morgana, jww, and killzonequinn for playing through it when it was nowhere near done, comph for his expertise in sorting out what i could'nt, claptonfann for not finishing what he started ;) :p, chuckmp for testing, basketsnake for some good fixes, and eternalwolf for helping me just finish up and get it published. And deviantgeek for some great lighting and detail on the scoreboard. There are probably people I've forgetten, so let me know and I'll add you all in.

Some pics.....

Have fun, I'll play any levels in return :)

Lol, I just posted in your Ideas and Projects thread about me liking this, so I'll definitely play this.

I just knew my old friend Grantos would publish this when I was away from the PS3... :\
I will play it and I assure you that I will like it! I can't wait to see it. Always a pleasure :)

Just took me 20 minutes to finish it because of how terrible I am. Irregardless, it was an amazing level. Funny, and extremely detailed. Only issues I noticed were that there was a huge chunk of censored text at the very beginning of the level, and I was constantly falling down back to earlier parts of the level.
Wish you were doing F4F... D:

Thanks for playing it. I forgot about that censored text lol, I'm in bed now but will fix it tomorrow. Can you tell me which parts you kept falling at? I know there are a couple of problem areas, but if they are causing major problems I will find a way to fix it

I havnt added F4F, but see the last line of my original post ;) Just let me know what you want be to play.

You forgot me!!!! I did the lights on the scoreboard and did a few tweaks!

Oh, yeah, the level was awesome, but was a tad bit too short...

Fixed the original post, I knew i would forget someone :)

thanks for playing it (again :)). You can blame the thermo for the length :D

I just seen you publish it right before I was about to turn LBP off and go to bed. I thought 'Ahhh I'm knackered do I really want to play a head scratching Grant level right now?'

Well I did...and it was a lovely surprise that it wasn't so head scratching :)

Great fun and I quite like the nice short length of it too. Visuals are spot on! Platform is quality stuff. Another great level.

Few things I noticed: Censored speech bubble, but I think someone already mentioned that. There's a visible grab switch on a piece of wood (I have no idea how to explain where...it's not too far in...the first time you go back on yourself and up to a higher bit I think) anddd there's pieces of visible dissolve at the end (guessing they're what the magic mouths are on).

Awesome. 5 stars of course.

Love it Grant!

yep - censored magic mouth after the zombie chickens, found the visible grab on the wood as well. It's after the swinging platforms on the top left just after the checkpoint. Found a place near the barrels where it's fairly easy to break out of the level. A little thin gas should solve that easily. There's an unstickered square of dissolve near the secrets board too. Other than that it's perfect! ;)

Fun - whimsical and oh the secrets are diabolical! Got all the cows and only missed one beer... gonna have to go find that one.

5 stars & hearted! Congratulations on another cool level!

Right at the part where there are falling platforms and red gas, the area right above it, it's really easy to fall and end up at the beginning of the level. Also, at the section with the visible grab switch, the cactus jumps have to be done precisely, I found myself dying ten times, because if you try to slow down after the first jump you can't make the second.

If you could check out my level Card-Bored that'd be great. I won't b able to make any more changes to it for a week because I won't have access to a PS3, but oh well.

Oh yeah I didn't get ANY secrets whatsoever...to be honest I didn't even see any! But still got top score...(not for long I would imagine :))

I will be back though. The length definitely suits replays!

Wow.... I feel so out of it lately. Didn't even know you were working on this.... Playing it tonight!

Thanks for playing and for the comments everyone. I'll fix up the bits and reply in full tomorrow :) I'm in bed on my phone and to warm to move, even tho the dog and wife are taking up all the room and snoring. :)

I play your level tomorrow Arkei

Its out?
SWEET!

This was a very fun and detailed level... but know I hate cactus :). Good work can't wait to see what's next, oh and also I gave it 5 stars

I'm going to play it NOW!

Notes as I play:

Awesome visuals!

Text box - she's really goon hit the roof - gonna is missing the a.

After killing chickens, censored - awesome chicken shooting though!

At chicken area went backward through gate to hidden area. Jumped left from box and ended up stuck behind the box with the checkpoint on it.

No other issues. The gameplay and aesthetics in this are fantastic. Gonna go play it again right now.

Just played it, loved it :D Found almost all the secrets (just was missing one darn cow!) and really enjoyed playing it. I did find a bug though, at the second barrel cannon area (after jumping across the two round spiky cacti), you can launch up onto the rocks above, and from there jump through the level to the floor. Ironically, I was able to find my fourth cow by wandering around there :p

5 and a heart :D

Hahaha, this looks amazing. I will definitely play this soon.

Amazing fun level, great and fun gameplay.
I still love the name. This is one of the levels that is fun to replay!

5 stars and 1 heart :)
