Hey guys after a week of beta tests my newest level has now been published properly.

The level is a platformer with a bit of humour thrown in for good measure.

Story is that Sackboy makes a flippant remark about how he isn`t impressed when he comes across an emitter in a level. However, this leaves someone a little less than pleased who decides to show Sackboy just what it takes to get an object from your object box, to your levl.

I also played the beta, glad i can now officially heart this level ;p

Though why i have to swing from a green chequered tree to open a door, i'll never know.

Great level I shall be filming it soon!

The whole idea of the level was great, and reminded me a lot of In the Mind of H4Her, as it had the same concept of explaining a part of LBP. The storyline was great, and was funny at parts which is always an added bonus. The detail was good, and the mushroom looked great! Some good platforming and puzzle. The level it self looked great and I loved how each section had it's own theme! The ending was great and funny, loved it!

But there were several problems I faced; When you have to hold the tree to open the door, it was a bit laggy, maybe remove a few lights. Also, when you get into the column room, the first one you see that comes down has a strange camera angle, and made me die because I didn't see it until I fell into the gas. Also, when you have to go the other direction than the mushroom goes, I didn't know I had to toss it down, so I had to respawn, maybe had a sign that points down and has a mushroom sticker or something that tells you to toss it down. Also, I was completely confused at the 'follow the pipes' section. (Might have been me being stupid though...) There was no right left and left, only up and down and such. So I died thrice trying to get into the right one, one of my deaths resulting in the platforms down there being hard to see and easy to miss. I think that's it.

Don't be worried by the long list of errors, they are each very small and probably easy to fix.

Overall the level was great, and I'm filming it in minutes.

5 stars and hearted! Also, for F4F could you do my 'Bouncing Balls - Survival Challenge"? I just got a video up and need it to be bumped! Thanks!

I tried this today, and here's what I think. Overall it's pretty great. I loved the story, and the visuals are great. You used the lights very well. There's a spot where you jump on a spinning platform, and have to grab it then jump to the other side. Here I thought the gas up above was a little close to the platform. The part with the pipes was just right. I don't agree with cog on this part. You clearly explained at each Y it goes a different way. The only thing I really didn't like was that it was really to easy. Of course I prefer levels that are a little more challenging, so that's just my personal taste. The majority of people will probably think the difficulty is just fine. All in all I think it was a great level. Great work!!!!

Thanks everyone.

-Sorted the camera angle at the start of the columns section so hopefully you`ll see it coming, and added an arrow.

- Lag is just due to the moving parts in the level. Most are only set to start when you walk into the particular room, but others need to stay on.

- It is a bit easy. Certainly for my skills (1337!!). However, the first person that played it was kind enough to give me one star and a 'frustrating' tag so obviously he didn`t feel the same! I like the difficulty as it is though. It doesn`t exclude anyone and can still be enjoyed by better players (I hope) while still offering a challenge to most.

-The gas is a little close to the rotating platform. I shall try sort that.

Ok, video is finally uploading to Youtube, it'll be done in about half an hour, then it will have to process so it can be viewed in HD. I'll message you when it's done.

I see you still made a lot of changes since the beta!!

An original concept with some great gameplay elements, nice visuals and a healthy dose of humour.
Loved it, 5 stars and a well deserved heart.....nuff said.

Edit: Really liked how you completely changed the columns-section!!

[CCubbage]

Fantastic level - I'm in L.A. right now and away from my PS3, but just wanted to log in really quick and say I love this level. Great concept.

[Kog]

I noticed you put the video up, maybe wait a bit longer though, because it still has to process and become HD. I will post it when it is, then you can copy that one.

[Matt 82•]

Aw ok I didn`t realise it wasn`t HD. I`ll stick that uo then when it`s ready. I just got a bit excited when I saw it!

One thing I`ve noticed players doing at the part with where you choose which pipe to follow is that they`re trying to jump right from the platform to the hole rather than to the platform below them and then across. I`m wondering if it`s the way I`ve worded the magic mouth here.

Nah, it's because you can't see what's directly beneath the player.
It could just be a horizontal line of gas beneath the other pipes for all they now.
So they think that's the safest way....wich is not the case because they probably miss the jump and fall into one of the other holes anyway!!

.....and yes, this happened to me the first time around

[Kog]

And viola! It's finished!

Have fun!

[Matt 82•]

Right I added a wall to stop you jumping all the way across. Hopefully players won't think they`re stuck right enough.

Played it a couple of days ago and thought it was great. i loved the concept and it was done really well. Good design and humour too.

I really like puzzles of any kind and consider myself pretty good at them ( I did nearly all the puzzles in Professor Layton on the DS ) but must admit I was very confused by the pipe bit. I looked at where the pipe ended up if you went right,left.left and jumped to that pipe but died so in the end I just ended up jumping anywhere and luckily fell down the right hole.

The rest of the level was great though and has to be one of my favourite levels around now. Good work again Matt.
