Stronghold of the Lost Empire

Hey. This is my first level. Its a platformer set in an old fortress. I have already fixed many issues mainly with multiplayer since i released it but im willing to improve it in any way based on any feedback.

Ok firstly I will set the positives.

Really good consistent and detailed design, loved it.
Music, great choice and really fits the level well.
Like the way that on the puzzles you move the camera angle around the puzzle section so we can get a good look at it.
Really good thought out puzzles and designed puzzles.

Next the negatives.
There is a jump after the first spike trap, you just jump up layer to layer to a checkpoint. I found the wall a little high and almost gave up.
Stairs inside the tower are a bit non functional due to sackboy auto layering. You keep running off them.
The grab at the top of the tower is also very awkward. I managed it but I can see some people having trouble.

Overall this was great and ive added it to my favourites. Look forward to seeing more. Don't take much notice of the negatives they are just minor issues. But the positives are all pretty rare with most levels. One of the best community levels I've played so far.

This looks like a fun level! I queued your level and will play it tomorrow, I will leave a review on both your level and your level thread, can you please do the samething for me on my new level called Cryo Lab Test.

Thank you

Thanks for the feedback timeH i was already unsure about some of the areas you mentioned and now i know they need to be improved.
I have left feedback on the sims, frantic and jungle treehouse. Arnald your level is queued for tomorrow.

Ok just played your level and here is my review that I left in LBP2

"Magnificent level! this level incredible. the cinematic work for this level was awesome along with the gameplay of the level. The visual of the level was stunning the use of matterial, stickers, and decoration gave the level an extra kick. Keep it up."

My suggestion is to use a little more decoration and sticker in the start of the level to give it that extra kick!

I hope my review was helpful, I hope you can do the same for me in my new level unless you already did lol

i can't remember...getting sicker... was i supposed to play this level as F4F or am i thinking of another person... i'll que anyway O_o my level in my sig

Thanks arnald for the feedback i have played your level and left feedback. I also left feedback on your level angel.

I thought it was an insanely good platformer. You've nailed the setting and scenery perfectly, the camera angles were amazing. power-ups were used creatively, the secret rooms were creatively placed and there was a fluid feeling to the "exploration" in the level. There were some hiccups though, but TimeH33 already hit upon most of the points that need improving. The stairs were especially glaring, and don't seem necessary if you have to grappling hook past the bugged layering part. With the gameplay a bit more polished, this would be an instant-classic platformer, and was still worth every second of it as-is.

Thanks a lot hotwingz im glad you liked it. Ill see what i can do about the stairs.
Ill play your level and leave feedback aswell.

I was sold on the name at first, and it also looks like a level worth playing, its qued for the morning :)

Qued! Gonna play it as soon as I'm back from Japan!

Looks good judging from the pics!

Thanks a lot i will play your levels as well.

I have made several improvements to the level based on feedback. The main change is i removed the stairs in the tower because they were not needed and were causing more problems than solving.
Any more feedback is greatly appreciated and i will return feedback as well obviously.

This level is great, i think visually it needs a few touch ups, the outside of the ruins is nice, but the few leaf decorations and rope don't do much, but platforming is well done and theme is also very well done. It would be nice to have a storyline but it's not necessary, it's still a very very nice level ^_^ and i heart it ^_^

Thanks for the feedback angel im glad you liked the level. I agree that some parts of the level need more detail ill see if i can come up with anything.

Thanks for the swell comments on my level. I gave yours a try this morning and I have to say, very impressive. Its standard platforming but in an enjoyable no frustration way, you figure out how to continue, and its not a chore to try to get there, its a great level visually. The landscape changes constantly, uses all the layers, and is easy to see what you're doing. I like like the lack of pointless traps (like fire pits, with tiny ledges to jump on), they make getting through the level a pain and theres none of that here. This is a great level for platforming people (i am one of those people :)) for how it involves the grappling hook and strategic usage to avoid dying, this is one of the rare community levels that actually seems aceable and that gives it a big boost in the "wanting to play" factor. I see alot of great levels with a small amount of plays and it just makes me hope that people are creating these excellent levels for mostly their own enjoyment, because it would be sad to see people stop making them completely in favor of another zombie hunter game. (not knocking zombie levels, i love a couple of them, but i love imaginative personal creations like this level so much more)

nice s/n too lol

i love the details very nice design the music fits perfectly i cant think of any bad things

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Reiko your right i didnt design this level to be a challenge i wanted it to be beautiful and fun and i wanted the player to really feel like theyre exploring an old fortress.
