I know, they're clean, polished, and look like they were made with somebody with a life!

I played this level earlier today, and I must say that it exceeded my expectations by far.
I adored practically everything about the level. The look, the story, the cleverly used paintballs. It was just all SUPERB.
In fact, I loved it so much that I 5*'d and hearted it. Basilisk Bog is possibly my new favourite LBP level of all time.
I remember playing this, it was a fantastic level. Definitely deserved the Mm Picks, well done SnrSuperComputer.
Finally got around to playing it and it's really fantastic! Superior character design and lovely landscapes. Fun platforming that is never cheap. One of my favorites!!
Thanks for sharing it!
gona start playing this level :)
il post some feedback.
i probably wont get pass the boss part as i suck at bosses :P
im gona start with mulberry woods first tho since it looks more interesting xD
I know this level's a bit of a relic now, but I've been wanting to play this since I was on the spotlight team and it got picked. We were playing so many levels I couldn't keep up... that was right before my break.
I wish I'd played it then, because it's amazing, and I knew I was going to love it... that was validated as soon as I spawned at the start. Everything about this level has that same feel of scope and spacing that Mulberry Woods had... hard to explain, but it's a style and a sense of spaciousness and scale that defines your work. The pacing of the level, and the layout (as well as the point placement), keeps everything running at a 100 mph but still keeps it involving and compelling, same as an MM level.
The material selection and coloring of everything blends together and compliments it all perfectly... green wood, brown messiah sponge, green paint splattering, rocket smoke, and green gas (the only time I've ever seen green gas look good lol) - it came out gorgeous. The basilisk's mesh with it, the villagers do too... and so does their only weak spot, which was the most creative use of paintballs I've seen in a good while, and the simple mechanic of the elastic, and how it guides it, but also gives it the feeling of a stretchy and spongy plant was so well done.
The character and enemy design is fantastic as well... the basilisk is probably my all time favorite enemy design in LBP, and you used them is so many memorable and amazing ways - sleeping, gluttonous etc the chase was great, the boss was a monster beast (reminded me of an epic Chrono Trigger tyrannodon battle) but the drop-down sponge grab descent was my favorite part because it showed so much personality for them as enemies and characters.
Amazing work... Zephyr Valley, here I come.
I've just played this and enjoyed it from start to finish.
The whole look of the level is great and you really get a sense of being in a bog/swampland,especially once you've completed the level because,I dont know about anyone else,but I was covered with the green paint that I'd been going through.Very Cool!
The creature design and look are brilliant and very inkeeping with Little Big Planet.
I loved the Basilisks leaping out at you and all that part was very well done.Then there's the boss battle,thats inspired.One of the best I've played for sure.
The challenge was balanced and the whole level runs smoothly.
Cons? I didnt notice any flaws,but maybe I'd lift the camera slightly out of the first bog as you see of the floor rather than your sackperson and you can see an unsightly material join.But thats it lol.
Excellent level,but I guess you knew that already :)
I just played through all of your levels with a friend of mine, and they... were... AMAZING!
The detail you put in makes me weep for the poor level I started. (though I can blame some of that on my crappy controller). The boss fights and platforming sections are far beyond anything I'm capable of right now. My friend and I even took a few minutes off from shooting each other and shoving each other into pits to finish the levels and test out every hazard and trap.
My only minor gripe was on This level, Basalisk Bog. The level was immaculate as always, and I loved every single basalisk in there, but during the boss fight, I broke the emitter! I was hanging off of it and dropped off, and when I came back, the string had snapped! This may be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Please keep creating so that we may know true joy!
