Thanks a lot for the feedback, guys. I will have vacancy next week and take the time to check out your levels and make some adjustments to this one as well.
@Zwollie: How the heck did you manage to break the wheel on the elevator?
@cornontheCOD: I will change the ending but I still have not the amazing idea, how.
I don't really know exactly, but maybe have it a longer run, where you have to avoid a few obstacles along the way? The level is great either way.
I love this level, and the ending was minor for me because there was so much great content all the way through (just wanted to say it...)
MAYBE what you need to finish off the ending is just some cool effects on the way out to make the exit kind of a final "wow" moment.
Or you could just make sure the ending is longer in the sequel ;)
Hehe, yeah ... if only you would know about the sequel ... but - although I am BURSTING to spoil it ... I keep my mouth shut.
Your compliment means a lot to me. :)
I dunno....it just happened :)Quote:

MAJOR UPDATE
- implemented all the new Cornish Yarg features like global lightning and angled sensors.
- decorated huge parts of the level to look better using all the advanced techniques I learned since I released the level.
- included completly new ending do fit the rest of the level and pose a worthy final
- reworked the infamous Wheel Cart a third and final time to be much more responsive without giving away the risk of falling out. The contraptions have been adapted to the new manouverability.
So everyone who has not played yet, now is the best of times! And everyone who already did play the level, there is plenty new to see.
I'd be happy for any feedback.
Hey Fjonan,
I just played your updated level and very much liked the new changes.
I always like to keep it short and sweet but anyways, here's my "review":
First*, I loved the way you included the global lighting tool.
You used it in very subtle ways. I especially liked the fade-in you used in the beginning of the level.
Seems like you added a lot of decorations, new visual elements and completely rebuild some sections.
The scoreboard looked really good, don't often see them this detailed!!
So...very well done on the visual side!!
The "infamous" wheel has received a good update, it seems a lot more stable than I remembered it.
I didn't crash or break it once so that's a good thing!! :)
The new ending was a big improvement! ( have to say this without giving anything away for the others who haven't played it yet)
So overall I think all the changes you made really added to the expierence.
You (almost?) completely removed that one big frustration with the wheel and added a lot of great visual tweaks.
I would heart it again but that's kinda pointless aint it?
Nice work, Fjonan!! :)
* Oh yeah, I went there.
OK so I'm the type that just writes as he plays!
1st impression:
Cool Plot, Nice atmosphere.
*Very Nice platform segments! Interesting, varied, and tricky.
*Love the puzzle elements too. Love the puzzle/platform section with the little movable wall jacks/lifts.
*Love the hamster wheel! Like how you kept changing up the goal and making it harder
*The hamster wheel...The gift that keeps on giving!
*The guards are really cool. The one who shoots arrows is really tough, almost died. As I was on my last life it made the jump down to the scoreboard level very scary.
*Like the scoreboard looks really cool.
Thought it was very well done. You had great variety in your obstacles and unique platform elements.
If I 'had' to list something 'bad' (which I really don't) it would be that the elements didn't really fit in with the theme. While cool (and trust me they were!) they really didn't fit inside a castle/manor. But where would a 'sack wheel' actually fit in? Also did I miss something as I didn't feel the story ended?
So over all, I thought it was really well done! Great game play and atmosphere.
I gave it 4 stars a Tricky tag and Hearted :)
:grr:
By the way (yes yes, thats some digging) Beethy posted his video review of my level.

Really too bad he did not get through the level, though.
I love that video, especially the comment about good ol' Sir Sackboy. ;)
Hehe, yeah ... putting that pic right there was my best idea ;) people seem to direct there hate at "evil Lord Bafford"
