Whispering Oak

[div=overflow:auto;]Whispering Oak by xQziCyFlaMeZxQz
Yo peoples! please try my level! It is a pure platforming level. The setting kind of looks like its inside a tree. Well anyway, this level was kinda inspired by Lockstitch's "A Forgotten Realm." You know how in that level he did that cool floating platform thing and then half the comments were "HOW'D YOU DO THE FLOATING PLATFORM THING!?" Well yeah i figured it out sorta ^_^, and i used it in my level. And honestly when i made the name "Whispering Oak" I had no idea he had already had a lvl called "The Whispering Grove" So i didnt mean to use his name :p. Well please try my level!

Okay the pictures!

ncie atmosphere you got there;)

Sounds to me like someone has a crush on Lockstitch. :P Jk, I'll try out your level later today.

Hmm, like Black said, nice atmosphere, I'll give this a play later today or tomorrow and tell you what I think. :D

hmm pics look great , bet the level wil be the same :P

Okay, I played the level and here's what I thought. I liked the visuals of the level and thought you did a good job with stickers and lighting. When going to where you have to press r1 and let go to get bounced up to the switch you must pull, I'd put maybe a light under the r1 sign because ot's pretty hard to notice and since I didn't see the switch up there either, I just kept going even though that didn't make too much sense but after two deaths I noticed it so it's not that hard but it might be a little tricky to notice at first to some like me.

I really liked the floating platform challenge like in Lockstitc's "A Realm Forgotten" plus the other challenge before with the platforms floating in circles was nice also. At first the circles spinning with part of it grabbable that shoots you up felt hard but didn't take too long to get used to, so great part added. I loved the design of the scoreboard at the end, you could maybe do the same with the start and finish race gates, but that's a very minor complaint. Overall, the gameplay was a lot of fun even though most of it involved being bounced up, the visuals were gorgeous and it's definitely worth a play. :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3 I'll try mentioning this on my blog soon :D

Also, creator <3 now :p

Edit: It's out :D

Oh this looks fun, definitely will check it out! Could you maybe explain the logic behind the moving, floating platforms? That was a great gameplay piece in Lockstitch's levels that I, and probably many others, would like to utilize.

Played your level today. It was really well made and entertaining. I highly recommend it to anyone who's even remotely interested by the screenshots.

Definitely :star::star::star::star::star:

I played your level, and here's what I thought:

The atmosphere was well put together, it had a cute and colorful sense to it that fit the gameplay well.

The segment with the green blocks that you had to push to make things happen was well thought out. I also loved the butterfly checkpoint :)

The moving platforms were ok, but i didn't really like how you could see the flower decorations through the wood right after they emitted. By the way, I figured out that you used invisible dark matter with probably motor bolts to make those platforms work.

Overall a good level, it was fun to play.:star::star::star::star:

Thanks for the feedback everyone! And wolverine, i added leaf decorations so you cant see the flower on the platforms spawning behind the material. I hope it helps!

The pics look cool! I will play it later

Update: I reposted the level and added a very cool ending sequence.

Awesome stuff. :)

I love the colorful theme in this level and the challenges.

I recorded a video of this level a while ago but I forgot to post it here. :blush:

Gave this :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3, it was very fun.

You actually did an amazing job On this Level.

Thanks for the feedback

A bit rough around the edges, but worth a play if you don't mind an inferior Realm Forgotten with barrel cannons.
More originality would have been nice in that regard.
Gas/hazards are hard to see in places.
I did like the level's description and scoreboard.

EDIT: Yeah, I might have been a little harser than usual, sorry. I'll give it a replay sometime.

Hey xQziCyFlaMeZxQz, congrats on getting spotlighted :D You definitely earned it

Thanks for the feedback! But i thought i had some pretty original ideas in there :/

Update: I added these little glitched water bubbles that floats out of the water, i also reposted it because of the new LBP server.
