Well, just from the get go I like the video and 2 things already are standing out.

- Your streamlined look. (please don't decorate more, it would make it too busy or lose its streamlined appeal imo)

- You decorated your bubbles and that's original and pleasing.

Will play the level soon.

I've played this level a bunch of times, and hearted it a long time ago. It's amazing. Probably the best looking VR level out there... there is so many cool mechanical effects in this level, creative uses of platforming and paintinator, and the last boss is an amazing piece of work. The rotating sections are insane.

Some of the geometry was a little crooked or sloppy here and there, but not in any way that really detracts from the overall experience. It feels like a very futuristic, shooter-heavy version of the Pixelation series.

Great work, and I'm glad you're on this site... stick around and check out some peoples levels. The more feedback you give, the more feedback you'll get. Hopefully more players will check this level out after awhile.

I played this a while ago as well.

This and the "Pixelation" levels are some of my favorite minimalist levels. I recall this one having some really creative platforming elements.

Good work, and hearted on my first playthrough...I think.

I love the last boss, but it is a bit difficult to tell if you're hitting his weak spot or not. I think it's because the player is far away from the "sound" of the paint meter being depleted. It took me a long time to kill him, and when playing with others we ran out of lives because they wouldn't follow my lead in just shooting the spot until it dies... they really just had no idea what was going on or what needed to be done.

The only fix I can think of for this is to add a sound to the weak spot piece and set it to "on impact" so that it will trigger whenever the paint balls hit the weak spot - physically triggered sounds, even with a small radius, tend to be heard at any distance.

Yeah I played this a couple of weeks ago and really loved it. It's amazing that you were able to make the level so visually appealing by using Green VR almost exclusively. There are a lot of cool gameplay elements and some nice touches like your question marks. I did not hesitate to give this 5 stars and a heart :)
